Saving space here for my Silver Skunk BX1 to arrive

60-70 day flower for an awesome pedigree sat will be welcome now that weather is beginning to warm up down south

I run 2 @ 2 x 4 tents

2 ufo 90s (Helios 3w diodes 3500/5000K) = ~ 4200K. These were gifted from a USA LED mfg, not going into production

During flower, I will be adding 2 @ 75w multichip/reflector lights, but might just run them during veg, too

Will put them on each end of tent, probably aimed at ~ 30* angle toward the plants for better below canopy coverage

Power consumption is ~ 48w. Does that mean output is actual 48w, or just the draw?

432w hot5 tent (using a variety of aquarium bulbs)

This is a High Performance System now in 3-4th generation

It combines 4 liter Air Pots + Hydro Halo Drip Rings (feed cycle ~ 30 sec/45 minutes) into polished ornamental rock (Dollar Store). Nutes drain back into High Performance Rez, where I practice black arts.

Nutes recir 24/7 through 2 powerful magnets positioned in repulse (large nut keeps them attached) onto an Alabaster egg setting in the middle of an ornamental rock bed, then back into rez. Separate pump for feed cycles. Both pumps sitting on individual 4" diameter air stones

Having issues grabbing correct pics

Will try to correct later

Here's a pic of 2nd Gen HH Drip F & D

shotgun suckers!

passenger seat for this one :-)

well, she puts out the best odor and taste in hydro. but will still be sensitive to higher ppm.

looking forward to this one

Enthusiasm welcome

Hydroponic Research V + B is pretty potent.

I peak at 1000-1100 ppm/ 2 EC for one week after bud set, then begin backing down: 800, then down by 100 each week

I think that feeding every ~ 45 minutes precludes higher ppm.

hey pet flora

i would try to stay constant at 1.5 ec from kicking em to flushing. anymore may be detrimental to yield and quality

Thanks. I veg seedlings ~ 200. As they grow I increase ~ 400. When I flip I go to 500 (1 EC), then throttle up to ~ 1100 for one week after buds set (but will back down (per your input) then drop by ~ 100 ppms per week

My WH X WW refuses to finish, probably 5-7 more days before I can pop the beans

The 2 @ 75w multispectrum cob lights from LEDLightPlant are on hold. Thankfully my partner failed to complete the order info. Turns out the pic of the chip they show is NOT the chip that comes with the lights. I emailed them, but chances are it was intentionally deceptive advertising

Looking for a suitable replacement. If all else fails, I will supplement with my 3000K Cree A19 bulbs

[PetFlora]

Surprisingly, I did hear back from LEDPlantLight

They say they have 2 different chips, and sent me a bad link to the correct one

They also sent me a breakdown of the 3w diodes inside each.

Oddly, they have a 75w and 100w chip, neither has good spectrum balance, and neither are operating at 700mA, more like 500-600 WTF?

Heat sinks too small? Dunno

Neither looks like the pictured chip in their lens cob light

They asked for my input which I gave

[PetFlora]

Just wrote a long post, which disappeared

Been struggling with a weird exterior water leak, which has slowly destroyed my kitchen and surrounding walls over the last ~ 5 years

I 'think' I finally figured out where the leak comes from

Sadly, it is not an insurance issue, so I have $10K+++ in rotten cabinets and walls to deal with

Anyway, I should be able to pop seeds soon, as no repair people will be hired to remove/replace rotten kitchen cabinets and walls

Good luck on your grow!
