Triple stacked 3K automatic

Cant believe I forgot about this thread! This thread and another Stadium Vert grow are the reasons why I wanted and still want to try and do A vert scrog grow.

Awesome job bro! Cant wait to see more current pics of them!

What did ya feedem and how long did you flush for?

Botanicare CNS 1-part, around 700ppm peak. Flushed for one week.

nice, might try that stuff out. only costs 54.50 for 5gl. was that with tap or RO?

Tap, but my TDS is very low, around 60. Granted I am using it with soil - I'd still recommend a little extra cal-mag if using coco.

nice

Hopefully this makes things a bit more clear:

Super clean!

ya those sump pumps from diversitech are nice.

use them for HVAC drainage on a few jobs

ay cuh , folk , ayyyy

you um

you gone update this killer thread bruhbruh?

 

[dj digigrow]

Bump ** Don't want to ever lose this thread. Super Clean and love the Automation! Much props!
What updates have you made if any since last post?

I love vertical!

 

[Boyd Crowder]

any comments on your medium?

 

[ganjourno]

Started in soil. Now 50/50 soil/ready-gro coco (air mix). Better since the buckets don't provide much natural aeration.

Still going well, no major changes to report.

bro, i would love to see more frequent updates, id love to try your dosing rig as well

honestly thought you had bailed on this thread
thanks for poppin in!

 

[ganjourno]

Sorry just have too much going on with family/work etc to post regular updates - I will stop in from time to time and do my best to answer questions though!

 

[ganjourno]

Still going well. Did a big upgrade to LED and also installed a better AC.

Blueberry Muffins also day 38:

Looking good! How many watts led in there now?

 

[ganjourno]

3100W actual LED power (about 3800W at the wall - power supplies are about 85% efficient)

 

[ganjourno]

One thing I did not expect from the LED swap is that the internode distance is MUCH shorter than under HID. Maybe just due to more total light intensity? I'd gotten used to flipping around 12" tall since they used to stretch quite a lot, and some on the top row would even try and run into the ceiling. I did the same this time but the canopy filled out much less; on the plus side the buds are stacking much better. Next run I think I can actually give the rows a bit more space, may raise the top row up 4-5 inches and the middle row up 2-3 inches, and let them veg to about 15-16" before flipping to make sure it all fills out. Yield will likely be below expectations for this first LED run but quality is on point.

 

[Chunkypigs]

What spectrum lights are you using? That seems to be a factor in internode length with the leds.

 

[Ibechillin]

More usable light in the 430nm blue spectrum reduces internode distance/stretching. Most HID produces primarily 662nm red spectrum for growth and minimal usable blue which causes a good deal of stretch.
