This girl needs some training.

I'm using bamboo skewers to help hold some branches in place.

Here she is after some training.

Yes I am still vegging under daylight CFLS lol.

She will be flowered under LEDs.

Hi Blynx - may I ask whether you wire your bulbs singly to a plug each, in series or in parallel? From the pics it looks like series so hope this isn't too irritating an enquiry.

They are wired in parallel.

Looking great. I'm making a 10 x 14.5w LED fixture to replace my 150w HPS for my 3.75sqft tent. A work in progress. Ran me around $130, but should last a few years and provide me much better coverage. Thanks for all the info!

blynx, maybe i missed a post (im sure i did), but are you using cfl to start and then switching to led? you're referring to it as your led cab, is why i'm asking. :smoke out:

Roots are filling in a major way I bet.

I refer to it as the LED cab because last round (which was the first run in this cab) was all LEDs. It was 4 x 22.5w recessed style LEDs that were wired into the cord and they did not use sockets and there was no vegging the plant in the cab.

I am vegging with CFLs because I like them, I already have them and at this point I don't feel like laying out more cash for more LEDs lol

Here are the results of the last round in the scrog cab.

C99 x Shire (SSSDH)

Flowered under 60w of LED for 70 days

No complaints about this round.

I am feeling that 60w is a bit low in this cab. Not sure if I'll keep the 6 sockets and maybe go with the 14w or 16w bulbs, or maybe redo the lights and go with 8 sockets and stick with the 10w lights.

No rush either way, I want to see how the other cab does with the 8 sockets and 10w LEDs.

Another nice micro grow.

I will be watching to see how you change it up.

Top notch broda! Top notch... :tiphat:

Yeah its me · Jan 11, 2016

Great grow journal blynx! Very inspiring and thought provoking. I was wondering, based on your success, what you would recommend my growing style be (either Sog? or Scrog?) I will also be doing multi cabs. I will use 2x totes 27gal 26" wide 13" high by 15" deep and a converted dresser that I am thinking of splitting so I'd have basically 4x the growing space of the totes previously mentioned. I only have experience in indoor with CFLs so I'd like your feedback as this is my first run at micro with a perpetual harvest. Thanks so much for the inspiration and great documentation!!!

A given area can only produce X amount of smoke.

IMO, after you've had a couple runs under your belt, you should be able to produce around X regardless if you are running one plant or ten.

The choice also depends on whether you want a variety to smoke, or are happy with one or two strains.

If you want a lot of strains then it would make sense to run multiple strains per tote (sog).

Since you are running two totes, you could run one scrog and one sog and see which produces better for you and/or which you like dealing with better (training/watering/etc).

Hey Blynx, amazing thread! When you were running the screen in your Scrog box, what was the distance from the floor of the box to the screen? And screen to the top? I'm trying to figure amount the least amount of space I can get away with and have a decent grow. Thanks in advance!

Yeah its me · Jan 14, 2016

Thanks for the feedback Blynx. I would prefer a variety at first to identify good mothers/strains. I'm now on to debating what medium to use as I will be popping seeds within a month (grow journal to follow). Anyway you could give us a layout of your medium mix and feed schedule? Thanks again growers like you Stinkbud and Dr GreenGenes give me hope I will be able to produce a decent quantity of HIGH quality medicine. (My father has AIDS and suffers with AVN)
