Happy Sunday folks, Got an update for ya.
Everything is finally set. Got my ratchet hangers adjusted. Kindsoil here, containers ready for transplant of the lil ones. They are going into 40OZ containers, tad bigger then the black mugs. 6 pretty strong seedlings, growing quick. In this pic, they are 2 days from breaking soil. Im going to be precise with kindsoil depth on each one to take notes on growth, to figure out the best ratio. I love kindsoil. My last successful grow, ( 6 months ago) was just Kindsoil and FFoF. Then, went to DWC, smh, then coco, now back to where i started at the beginning. Probably wont use any other method now, but next time in the future, i want to try subcools soil mix.
These plants are drinking 8 oz water a day if you can believe that. I take them to almost runoff, dry the next day. Which, I really enjoy, because they get fresh water every day. Thats why i really like small containers. My last run with the black mug, had a nice potential haul, and got black mold, i think it was anyways, and trashed it. Scrubbed everything down with bleach, inside out, bagged it up, lysaled it for 24 hours, wiped down again, moved to different location. Should never have that issue again. Bad air circulation, and 85% humidity in flower, not good, lol..
anyways, the light is 14 inches from the highest plant top. Its getting 480 par, the pic shows in red, what the par is on the top of each plant, then on floor in corner.
The setting im currently at, is both spectrums on, 118 total watts, 10.5volts, 11amps (1.6amps from wall). Temp steady at 79F under lights, 85F INSIDE casement, meesured off aluminum sheet.
When i switch to flower, I will turn up PS, to 225wattsish, 11.8volts. It would be 700 par at 14inches,
GrowMau puck goes on 5 minutes before lights out, and runs a total of 15 minutes.
SO, that is the plan.
as you can see, the one plant is have LSTd, its at 16inches right now, and its being tied down to a 24inch stick,lol.. Wierd, i know, but wnated to get the light low, and figured id try something like this. im about to top the lil branches already on it. The tall plant in the back, Was my Male prediction, so I have all plans to scrap it. Growing nice, but I think its a male. They werent looking to good, so i started adding 1ml of calmag to 16oz water, and they responded nicely. The tall one, also got 1ml of FoxfarmGrowbig Hydro nutes per 16oz water, as an experiment. I have nutes that im not using now. Foxfarm trio, and AN perfect PH, pretty much full. The plant responded awesomely tho to the growbig, in just 1 day. But like i said, i think its a male, sooooo, we'll see.
ok, have a good one, thanks for stoppin thru.
