I figured it’s a good time to start a diary. Even though I’m having trouble rooting cuttings at the moment but I think my next batch will root nice as I’ve got some advice and of coarse a proper humidome.
I have two 2ftx4ft tents for flowering which both have a shelf for a 2nd tier. Each tier is lit by a home made 306w SIL fixture. That’s 18 x 17w - 100w equiv, 1600lm bulbs per fixture. Bulbs are spaced 8” from center to center. That’s 28,800 lm total for each of the 4 tiers. Bulbs were $1 each, fixture cost me about $40 each after wood, sockets, screws, 16g ext chords to chop up.
In have six plants currently flowering in one tent right now under all 5000k SILS. In future I’ll be doing 4 plants per tent once/month only using strains that finish in 8 weeks.
Current cycle photo at 20days flowering.

3 gallon fabric pots with organic soil mix and lots of organic ferts mixed in sitting on perlite wicking beds. I’ve watered from the top once so far with GO Bloom and calmag. Each plant has an abundant nutrient bank in shape of a ring about an inch down from the top of the soil comprised of DTE biothrive, fish bone meal and leongbonite. I love how this Sub irrigation is working out so far. Plants have always looked great and I just top off their beds once every couple days with plain tap water. So easy.
Well I’ll be posting more info and pics very soon. I just wanted to get the first post launched. Happy growing everyone, be well.
