unreal...

I am still trying to find a site that I can pick up 3070's without having to buy the dozens minimum order.

You should be able to find the 3070 3000K Z2 bins in stock at most places. I dont know what bin you are looking for or what kelvin rating though.

Really nice grow Bueno! Next time you take some pictures, can ya put some type of reference size to compare like a lighter or coke can? Those ladies just look massive in size and tightly packed.

This round I tried something different and used some Nectar For The Gods samples, the Gaia Mania, Medusas Magic, Demeters Destiny, Herculean Harvest, Athenas Aminas, Zeus Juice, Bloom Khaos, and Olympus Up ph up.

I used recycled Fox Farm Ocean Forest for medium that had been used for about 5-6 weeks of plant growth previously. The seeds were started in red solo cups for first two weeks then transplanted to half gallon grow bags and vegged for another week before flipping to 12/12, overall the plants were vegged for about 3 weeks or just a couple days more from seed, topped once after 4 or 5 nodes cant recall off hand.

I received the NFTG sample pack and started using it on the girls at around 2.5 weeks 12/12. I didnt feed every watering but when I did I fed them the NFTG samples at 1/3 strength of what the feeding chart recommends with I think only two 1/2 strength feedings. Other than that a little molasses during first week of "flush" then just plain RO waterings for the last two weeks or so. I didnt really flush like some people do, when I say flush I mean not feeding any more nutes to them or cutting the food supply.

Watering every 1-2 days in the 1/2 gallon bags since mid flower. Every 2-3 days before that depending on how fast they used the water.

3000k's. Yes I have seen the WW Z2 bins at least two places in stock. I was really holding out for some Z4's or AB's (wish) but from your photos I'd be happy to get anywhere close to that type of bush with a pair of Z2 bin's.

I am going to put a bill of materials together tonight. Thanks again.

Nice I think you will be pretty happy with the Z2 bins I cant tell any difference to the human eye between the Z2 and Z4.

It sucks that finding higher bins is so hard right now.

Chopped the ladies down tonight after 70 days of 12/12. The branches felt heavy when I was cutting them off so yield may be good depending on density we shall see in about 5-7 days.

Been reading this from the shadows but figure I should finally chime in for a second :biggrin:

Great show :tiphat: going to get my soldering kit out of retirement when I find some spare cash to order parts and get
some of these built (already have several other LED units to grow with for now, but I've eying "COBs" for a while) :woohoo:

Thanks again for the great info/show :dance013:

Nice, I bet you would like COBs.

Ya the branches just felt heavier to me than my 150w HPS grows when I cut the first big stalk off I almost dropped it I was surprised by the weight and wasnt pinching the stem very tight with my fingers haha. Hopefully they maintain their heftyness through the drying process.

Also there is a bunch of DIY COB threads over on rollitup in the Indoor Growing --> LED and other lighting subforum. Excellent info with pics over there, its where I learned most of what I know about LEDs and COBs.
