3 x 3 Tent + 250w LED + Hydro= 1/2 Pound... Optimistic? - LED Grow Lights - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

PetFlora · 05-26-2016, 11:20 PM

If you need 1/4 pound every 3-4 months and you're not growing your own, it's costing you a couple vacations a year, or a car payment... every 4 months

The idea here is to show how easy it is to grow amazing meds. But to do so, you need quality tools

The cost of this set up including tent, light, timers, ~ 260 gph pump, air pump + air stones to keep the rez circulating, a pH meter and EC meter total cost ~ $1300, but at $10/g for high quality meds, the payoff could be $2250+, and at $15/gm >$3000! Plus, every grow thereafter is a savings of $2500 minimum every 4 months.

Pulling this off will require plants capable of 1/4 pound each. Based on prior experience with the strain I'll be using, I'm very optimistic

I have 3-4 plants that are just about ready to flip, from which to choose

The LED is going to be an Amare Technologies SE 250 ($745), his newest non-professional CoB hybrid panel, it has 4 Cree CBX 3070s, each surrounded by Cree monos. He's very high on it (NPI). If you're in a 2 x 4 tent/space he now offers the P300 which is a 3 ft tube- same price

Harvest pics are from last grow under the older version SE 220, using HR V + B + +Size during bloom. For this grow I will be using a new nute line to me: Emerald Harvest Cali Bloom 2 part

Emerald Harvest Update

I have been scouring the internet for people using it- not much being reported. I did find that a couple of the principals are from Canna and AN. That's a good sign

One grower noted pH drifts pretty fast. I never would have thought that would be the case with a modern nutrient, but it damn sure does! Easy enough to check and adjust daily, if need be

That aside, I am seeing quite a bit of bud density improvement on the ~ 34 day in flower sat (3rd day in Cali Bloom) in bubble bucket. Also, since it only has about 1.5g, it drifted quite a lot- 7+

No more pail grows for me. Raisng a budding plant with long branches up and out to dump/replace nutes is a PITA, BUT, it's great for clones
