Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen.
EDIT, Non HPS Glare Photo's a few posts down, Sorry People I know how much everyone hates HPS photo's! EDIT
This is my second run in this setup after running 4 white dutch and an Affy Gold last time. So this run Im going with two new strains. Affy (not gold) and Romulan. I've had family members over for the last month so I kept the girls alive in a mix of perlite and vermiculite under a 250. They've been growing pretty fast but kinda leggy cause I kept the light far away. The romulan are ultra stretchy so I'll keep a close eye on them. I'll be employing some form of tactic to get the most out of my lights. I was somewhat unimpressed with my yield last time (18 Oz's off both lights). This time I may run a scrog screen or LST.
Anyway.
Setup is 2X400 HPS in cool tubes. A 150 mm centrifugal fan cooling the tubes and another exhausting. Im running a cheap NZ nute called growzilla until my next res change when I get paid and then it'll be Canna all the way. Currently we're at an EC of 1.1 (tap water is 0.1) and a PH of 6.2.
Some pics of the setup anyway
Here We Go!
I put all the clay balls in the bath and soaked them in a strong sanitizer solution to kill anything that might have grown since my last harvest. I also ran the solution through all the pipework to sanitize that as well.
Then I got my new girls
And carefully pulled them out of their bags. Then I pushed them into the clay balls (while the buckets were submerged so the balls were floating and the jiffies and roots all kinda eased their way in).
After that I finished the setting up and sussed the res.
Affy 1
Affy 2
Romulan 1
Romulan 2
Romulan 3
And finally a shot of everything up and running!
I know it doesnt look like much now but believe me I've seen this all before and in no time at all it's gonna be killer!
Take care people!
