Ok guy's i got sick last Tuesday, just now started feeling better.

During my bed riddenness my humidifiers went dry for 2 days and the plants in flower experienced less that ideal vpd. Had figures charted as high as 2.5 vpd! Ambient runs about 82.5-84 degrees F. So Plants due to excessive transpiration, showed symptom of nutrient burn, the 10 gallon gals worse than the 20 gallon totes. They're turning back around with proper growth now though.

That's the only caveats if running thing's to the Max, one parameter gets out of whack it temporarily derails the whole friggin train

Here's day 43

Last 3 pics are of some of the worse effected leaves, and last 2 pics are of the sip moms coming back with a vengeance. I purposely pruned them to what i thought was death, took fresh cuts to keep the moms in regular 5 gallon pots, as the sips grow way too fast for Mom's in a 3x3 that just need to exist in Limbo and grow as slowly as can be

Its a testament to the power of sub irrigated planters and the resulting tech i like to call "SWC" or "Shallow Water Culture"


Enjoy!

Day 43 continued; well my first 3 pics were with 70mp resolution, so can't upload, Day 44 coming tonight. So no frets

Sorry for absence, we've gotten sick yet again ffs

Day 49

Had light too intense during end of week 6 and thru 7. Backed it off to 50% as i was getting way too intense chasing DLI.

Day 57
In spite of the torching, i feel these will finish nice. They are pretty damn chunky fat.
Smells on the sour is pretty reminiscent of Skunk, like sprayed skunk and rubber. Nothin else is there, it’s a straight skunk smell

On the iris (tcb Britney) im getting sweet bubblegum like smells with a Coco nib hashy aroma ss you inhale through nose deeper
• they’re still pretty fuzzy, and really full of white hairs. These will likely go a good week or 2 longer than the sour x Obama kush.
Plan on taking the sour cross to Day 75-77, as they’re not even showing Milky yet, mostly clear, like 90%

clear

Day 59
Gave a basic microbial active aerated compost tea last night
4 gallon ro got;
1 cup ewc, half cup build a flower (multi compost types and some kelp and biochar)
80ml molasses
1 tablespoon craft blend (microbe food)
2 tsp coconut water powder ( sugars for microbes)

So in my readings im seeing lot's of sour bx and f5-f6 are 10-12 week strains. Makes sense what im seeing, these def will go 77 days+ iris cuts are 9-10, so im taking them to 80 min.

Day 67

Also got a new dual 315 setup to run in the 4x4, going to do a side by side, it versus the LED dimmed to 650 watts

 

[couchlockd]

315 mod
I need to air cool it so im going remove the ballast and use a modified hydro farm Daystar ac hood

Just waiting on my second socket to finish it up

 

[couchlockd]

Day 73, getting chop at 85 day's Max or Sooner, as soon as i start seeing Amber st at least 20-30% they're coming down.

The Thai plants are looking like they'll want 90 easily

Daystar Ac hood mod to dual 315 pics

Here's the first layer and second layer protection on The exposed wiring. This jumps socket 2 to socket 1's junction box to pick up connection to ballast. Uts a dual output ballast, so the cord from ballast to Hood os a 5 conductor 14awg soow Cord. Will be using twist lock connectors. Here's the other tech flex layer with heat shrunk ends

1st layer Marine grade adhesive lined heat shrink

Here's some spare 3100k Phillips agro elite cdm 315s, hands down the best 315 bulb out abd arguably the Best hid set-up ever (315 using 3100k Phillips) they're the most output 315s you can get, and with significant amounts of uvb

Test of the 630 ballast in its stock configuration mounted to the reflector it came with. Test to make sure it works so if it doesn't after modding i know I fucked up, wasn't a bad ballast or bulb

First time seeing a high wattage hid fire in 10 years, im pretty convinced LED os lacking something. These hids just feel so welcoming and calming
