10 - Agrobar 720s over 6 - 4x8.5 ft rolling benches. F & D FTW

[Crooked8]

Very pumped about this new room. Details…
10 Agrobar 720 Leds spaced over 6 4x8.5 ft Botanicare rolling benches. 4 ton ac, co2 ppm @ 1100-1200. 2 quest dehums. Running Ebb and Flow like I used to for simplicity sake. The goal with this space was simplicity and generous space to work it. Highest quality is a goal over yield although were shooting for the stars there too. Today is Day 1 of flower.

Are you taking bets?

Man that is clean. Like a lab!

That was what I was going for. Thanks so much!

Things are moving along smoothly. I have a few testers entering the room soon that will be off to the side in an aerated bucket/nft style setup. I have two of each of these going in, beleafs chimera #2, karmas ODB, a PCG Gush Mintz cross and a Los Altos cross. They are going in a touch later than intended but ive had the itch to pheno hunt for a while now so its happening!

Nice setup homie!

What size room are you in? Which nutrients are you using?

The room is 37x19ft, just over 700 sq ft. But the canopy is roughly 250 sq ft.

Nutes are mostly House and Garden Aqua Flakes, i run a few other things too.

Thank you!

Day 6, filling in nicely

 

[Crooked8]

Almost at the two week mark here…
Ill be adding a second trellis shortly, ill also dryback hard to reduce some stretch.

 

[Crooked8]

Day 18, lights at 75%/540w per fixture. Got the second trellis on and top all trained in. Worth the time spent doing so. Cant wait to watch these blow up now. Shooting to have lights at 100% by day 28. Since i have the ppfd slightly lower im keeping co2 around 1000ppm, ill raise that as i raise the intensity of light. Cheers

Hows your room and tank temperatures compare?

Hows your room and tank temperatures compare?

You mean ambient temps vs the temp of the reservoirs? The water is always a few degrees colder than leaf surface temps.

 

[Crooked8]

Day 26, 1100ppm co2, bars at 95% power, ill be at 100% by the end of the week. Looking good so far. A lil hungry but i much prefer it to overfed.

Must have your eye on the prize now?

 

[Crooked8]

@Ca++ Indeed, updates to come….

The lab in action.

Heres our veg space, were about 2-3 weeks into veg here. Im always training. The game is getting what i want to stretch vs what i want to stack. Using all these different lights and spectrums gives us the opportunity to switch things up as we go to see how stout vs stretchy strains respond. So far, ive had a lot of success keeping them really even. About 3-3.5 more weeks in here until they will flower.

 

[Crooked8]

This run has been both challenging and rewarding. We will for certain get a lot more this run. Its my second attempt in this room and im damn proud of the increase in overall biomass. I increased the lighting possibly too quickly or I overfed. The other possible option is that i didnt supplement P and K early enough which led to them acidifying their root zone seeking P. This almost always leads to micro tox which shows necrotic leaf tips and inner veinal necrosis as well as chlorosis. We did have our res ph drop significantly out of nowhere around week 4. Definitely seeing some burn of some form. The issue is our EC never exceeded 1.7 this entire run. I barely dried back at all. Anyway, this is day 44 and the buds are fucking huge. Keeping EC closer to 1.4-1.5. Ill feed half strength for the final two weeks.
