Cobra420's Dual 150w HPS Cabinet
- Thread starter Cobra420
- Start date
Everything from the 150 cabs have been trimmed and jarred. All are sitting between 60-62% RH for the past few days so they seem to be stabilizing. So far, C99 #3 is the BEST smelling, both C99#1 and #3 have the densest flowers and BUB#4 has the largest flowers. Both BUB#3 and #4 got seeded from BUB#1 and #2 so they have a ton of seeds in them.
Haven't weighed any of the jars yet. May do it one of these days. Haven't decided how long I'll let them sit before I partake in them either. Shooting for 2 months, but we shall see how that goes haha.
In the wide mouth quarts up top from left-right:
C99#3, EPK#4, C99#1
In the half gallons down below from left-right:
BUB#4, BUB#3, EPK#2
As for the seedling, we're 5 SSSDH up out of the soil and 2 CSD up out of the soil with 3 CSD sprouted and planted into soil yesterday. Hoping to get one more CSD out of these, but more would be better of course.
Haven't had the best of luck with the CSD sprouting. Out of 8 seeds, I've had maybe 4 sprout with one of them not looking that great after sprouting. The SSS on the other hand is 5 for 5. I decided to start another SSS the other day due to the poor rates of the CSD and its already up out of the soil. Either way, can't complain, they both were freebies after all. Pic's to come once they have been moved into the 150w cabs.

Just finished weighing out the most recent harvest and wound up with just under 7 ounces total. 6.92 to be exact. I'm going to say closer to 6.5 ounces due to the BUB#3 being seeded.
C99#1 = 26.52g
C99#3 = 19.78g
EPK#4 = 13.76g
EPK#2 = 44.29g
BUB#4 = 32.84g
BUB#3 = 56.57g
Total 193.76g
At the moment, I still have 5 SSSDH and 2 CSD up and doing great. Going to give them a little more time and then planning on transplanting into the cabs. Thinking of putting a random clone in to fill up the last container if no other CSD's sprout. I took 70 clones the other day, 9 from each of my 7 mothers and 7 from the last, so should have plenty if needed haha

This evening, I got 5 SSSDH and 2 CSD planted into the 150 cabs. Just need to install the Blumats and plant a clone in the empty container. Smooth sailing after that!!
So far, the 5 SSSDH look GREAT! The 2 CSD, not so much, they seem a little mutated or something. Not to happy with the way these seeds have been so far. Terrible germ rate and the 2 that sprouted aren't the best looking. But I haven't lost hope. Hoping for at least 1 female between the 2 CSD so I can at least see how it smokes.
Anyways, Day 57 of flower for the PLL cab. They are doing AWESOME!!! Excited to take them all down. They are looking pretty close. Still going to give them more time though.

PExCC #2 - Haha, the wife just pointed out there's a spider, knat or something on the bottom of the leaf to the left. Going to have to investigate.
SDK #1 - hmmm, just noticed what looks like a knat on the leaf in the middle of this pic as well. Now I'm really going to have to investigate hahaha
They all smell AMAZING and are quite dense!!! All in all, I'm super stoked at how well the PLL SOG is going and can't wait to cut them down. It's looking to be a pretty decent harvest for an area that was going to be abandoned...
I'm thinking of keeping it going long term. Practically no maintenance with the Blumats. Pretty much just make sure they aren't touching the lights and that's about it. LOVE IT!! Thinking of doing a few mods though. For 1, I may bolt the PLL to the top of the cab. Doing so will get me about 2 more inches of head room. On top of that, I have to measure, but I may add a single bulb T5 or double bulb T5 to the front and back of the cab to get a little more light. I had the PLL off center back in the day with a double bulb T5 in front of it. Since starting this SOG, I moved the PLL to the center and may add T5's. Haven't decided yet.
The BUB #4 is WAY behind compared to the rest so I'm pretty sure it won't be run in this SOG anymore. The SDK's on the other hand have done GREAT! The PExCC got a little tall so I had to super crop it, but it has still turned out to perform better than I could have asked for.

Nice work! Did you ever get a chance to take these pictures?
Also, what kinda nutrients/soil were you using with the 5 gallon buckets? Does tapwater work with this method?
Thanks!! I wound up going with fabric pots/Blumats instead of continuing with the SIP containers so I never had a chance to make more. I still have the containers and in that post you quoted, I think there is a walk through on one of the links. Pretty simple design that worked GREAT for me! If you go to youtube and search "self irrigated containers" or something of that nature, there were a few walk throughs that helped me understand how it worked and how to make them. TONS of different designs.
The mix consisted of:
1 part Home Made Leaf Mold
1 part Peat
1 part Perlite
1 part Vermiculite
1 part Home Made Worm Castings
1 part Home Made Compost
For each 7.5 Gallons (1 cuft) of media, I used.
2 Cups of Food Mix:
Blood Meal (wanted to finish the bag but discontinuing its use)
Bone Meal (wanted to finish the bag but discontinuing its use)
Alfalfa Meal
Cotton Seed Meal
1.5 Cups of Fix It Mix:
Crab Meal
Kelp Meal
1 Cup of Mineral Mix:
Green Sand
Azomite
Oyster Shell
Gypsum
Dolomite (wanted to finish the bag but discontinuing its use)
For each mix, food, fix it and mineral, what I did was combine equal parts of each ingredient for each mix into a container and then used the amount above each mix for every cuft.
So for instance, the food mix, I put a gallon of blood meal, a gallon of bone meal, a gallon of alfalfa meal and a gallon of cotton seed meal into a big container and mixed it up really well. That was now my "food" mix and I would use 2 cups of it for every cuft of soil mix. Did the same for the other 2 types of mixes as well.
It's pretty much a water only mix, no other nutrients other than the ferts in the soil. It worked great for me at the time. I've used my city tap water throughout all my grows and still use it to this day with my blumats with EXCELLENT results.
So big update!! EVERYTHING in the PLL Cab has been chopped and is drying. Ran into a small grey mold issue with some of the densest flowers but overall everything went well. Ran into similar issues in the 3 - 600w tents recently. I know it's from turning off our A/C causing the humidity to rise. Difficult to justify running the house A/C when the temps outside are the same if not slightly lower than what it's set at haha. Battling high humidity that I will win. With winter approaching, it shouldn't be an issue but I WILL be prepared for it next year and I will make sure it stays away lol.

Pictures don't do their justice. Some of the plants have multiple tops, you just can't really tell from the pics. Either way, they smell AMAZING!!
Just planted 6-SDK #1 and 6-SDK #4 into containers and have put them into the PLL Cab. Day 1 of 12/12. Planning to hookup the Blumats tomorrow.
I also took quite a few clones of the plants in the 150 cabs. Hoping for at least one female from each of the 2 new strains being ran to make mothers of. We will see how it goes.
This evening, got the Blumats for all 12 SDK's hooked up in the PLL cab. Day 3 of 12/12 for them. The back 4 are SDK #4 and the middle, right 2 are also SDK#4. The front 4 are SDK #1 and the middle, left 2 are also SDK #1.

The SSSDH IX1 and CSD are chugging along nicely. I've taken quite a few clones of each to make sure I get cuts of any females to turn into moms. Going to work on evening out the canopies of everything soon. Want to take a few more clones before I do so.

Haha, just realized how complicated I've been doing the numbering of my plants. Going to change it a bit next run. Should be quite a bit simpler lol.

Little update on my Mother/Clone Tent. This evening, I cut down the plants quite hard and root pruned the mothers I have. Watered them in nicely and reset their Blumats.

Rooted/Rooting clones. The clones by themselves to the right and the clones in the front of the tray were just planted this evening. The clones in the back of the tray were planted a few days ago. Can really tell a difference once they start feeding.

Thank you! The pots were supposed to be 5 gal, but they turned out being quite a bit more. The wifey actually made all 8 of them for me to fit in the cab.
Picked up the material, cut it all up and used her antique sewing machine to put them all together hahaha.https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=6818138&postcount=123

Looks killer, Cobra.
Is that the 110w PLL?
Is that the 110w PLL?
Thank you. Yup that's the 110w PLL.
I have 10g geopots and I thought the same about the home made ones. Only difference is the material used. The geopots are more fleece like while my pots are not.
Everything is chugging along nicely. I've been taking TONS of clones of everything in the 150 cabs except for the PExCC #2 clone. All of the plants have responded quite well to the amount of chopping I've done haha. So far, most of the clones are looking great! Once I have some rooted clones from each, the 150's will be switched to flower. Planning on culling any males/clones that show. Hoping for at least 1 female from each strain. The more the merrier though.
