2 Custom UFO 90s in Extreme Hydro

I missed your question about pot size.
The plants under the leds are both in the same tote, using ~ 2 g of nutes (see post #26 for pic). That is pushing the minimum limits. I plant to use a deeper tote for next grow

Looking good!!! What do you expect to harvest from this 180w LED grow? And have you ever had any luck using soil with LED using 2+gal pots? dont have the funds to get hydro yet, but i am getting a setup like yours minus one 90w light. (gonna grow 1-2 plants)
Loving your setup! wish i could check it out myself! im more of a see it and learn it lol! few weeks and i should be getting ready to work on my room, just using yours as a guideline.
Diggin it

Soil is too messy, even for one plant.
Make sure you put it inside a much larger container to catch runoff/spillage, etc. Various size totes are available at Dollar Store/Lowes/HD...
As to how big the harvest, well the leaf issue will definitely impact overall yield.
Installing the cube/scrog net certainly increases yield
I added it a bit later than I should
Keep in mind these clones are small pheno, meaning smaller yield

nice ok, i might just do that then. i got a outside closet (apartment) thats white washed and has a light with airflow in it. i can get 2 tall plants in it so thats the max i might do... might just build a soil bed so i can just keep it in there? have you ever used a soil bed on the whole floor? better then pots?
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I missed yesterday's update due to hangover. Brain fart: If too much alcohol will fuck up body chemistry, certainly a too-heavy concentration of minerals would too
I know it looks bad, but plants have bounced back. It took me a bit of head scratching to recall, but...
Prior to the leaf burn, I mixed a batch of 500ppm nutes using 200ppm of Sea Corp sea minerals, most of which went into the bubbler, as the hot5 tent is no worse for wear. (The good news is, the sea minerals has worked wonders on my lawn
, which was the primary reason for buying it)
So was the burn due to the combination of lowering the light + hot minerals, or just mixing the minerals too hot? Thinking < 100 would be fine (< 1/4 of the total ppms)
Anyway, new lush green tiny leafs are appearing at the base of the buds + fresh pistils. Maybe if you double click on the pic you can see both

You can't make this kind of speedy recovery unless you use hydro.
Adding back mostly water now

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Pretty much on cruise control. Only adding water to reduce ppms
I trimmed all the mottled/dried out leafs. There was plenty of trics. Will use them for cooking and party dope

It appears I may not have the 190w panel that was offered in time for my next grow, so looking for a interesting substitute
I believe COBs inside ~ 100* parabolic reflectors, passively cooled, is where grow lights should go
These are ~ 100w, and only ~ $100
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Gro...8570169?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item2c7735b7b9
3 of these would work IF the COBs were available in NW and WW
Alas, they are typical mixed spectrum cobs. Outdated tech
I'll keep looking.

LED grow is literally days away now. Need to drain and replace nutes < 200ppm

After yesterday's pic it occurred to me to remove the restraints so the plants would be closer to the middle and therefor get more light from the ufos

I think COBs + parabolic reflectors is the tits for mj.
Not crazy about monochrome diodes (at least when used by themselves) but...
Found this and thinking to buy 2, and place one on each side of my NW/WW ufos
Killa!

Although they are almost ready, I looked at them under a mag glass- almost no calyxes
Upstairs, same strain but different pheno tons of calyxes
I bet the new cob additions will change that
Too late for this grow, and next grow I am planning on medman's silver skunk, so won't be a fair comparison.

I harvested one plant yesterday and will harvest the other by day's end
Here is a pic of the roots and the trimmed colas.
27 gms, not bad considering
The remaining plant has ~ 10% more bud
Sorry root pic is blurry. Autofocus was acting up

Wow did I miss access how much bigger the second plant was
101 gms, almost 5 times more bud
Pic on tile was pre-trim
Buds on scale were trimmed
