- Thread starter Esme
- Start date
Hello guys Sorry there has been no update but better late then never!
These are 28 days old from germination.
1.7EC, Next feed will be 1.8ec as these are a little light green.
These are getting 1.9L but this will be going up to around 2,3/2.5L, feed in 4 lots of drips
12 Plants, and a few that's been potted into 2L pots here and there will chuck them outside at some point.
Here are the pictures.

Here are the pictures.
The rest of them will be getting bent down and placed in 4 row of 3 tomorrow
To bend the plants down I use some string and some safety string

I also have another little space that I'm setting up Tomorrow its a 1.2 X 1.2 M tent with 27 plants, these will be vegged for one week once they are above soil then flipped and see what I can pull. I'm hoping for about 600-720G from that grow, I'm going to start another thread for that. Will be rock wool croutons flood and drain,

thanks mate
Update, Fu*king snapped some of the stems my own fault nearly smashed my shit up! but owell they will come back it's only the top so if anything it will set me back with the VEG.
I put some tap around the stem and it will hopefully work and it will be a hard knuckle here are some pictures. That black pump will suck up from mm of water it's handy to clear tanks out of water leaves a few ml in the bottom.

I was wondering how to attach branches to those pots for LST, now I know how, thanks, great trick
Hello guy's, will start updating this more as we go on and will start another thread with the 1.2 X 1.2M Tent as that start's.
At the end of this grow there will be another setup I will show you lot and it's a 11 x 600 Watt light build room 3.5m x 3.2m (11.5ft x 10.5ft)
Here are some photo's with the lights off, what do you guy's think, Trying out a new feed it's salt's.

Today is 4 weeks and 2 days from germ seed's, Now i've got 12 in this room I think it's going to be over crowded in this room.
so i have got a spare light i could put in there and take out the tank there a few in the room that's problem is i'm getting in the 30c with this hot weather outside not good really so might need to add a fan or i'm going to add another passive intake.
At the moment in the room I have 2 6" Holes that's only around 568m3/hr coming in so i think if i add another hole that will be 852M3/hr coming in should make difference.
Got some heat stress showing curling leafs coming up, so lights are going to be raised a bit and i'm probably going to give it a few more day's and will flip.
Here are some photo's.
Anyone seeing any problems?

This morning i popped over there and got some pictures, everything looking fine at the moment, Running 21c lights off, 27/28c lights on, Humidity is anything from 38% to 50%
I do have a data logger in there so i can go back over and see what's happening,
For example lights on at 18:00 temps are 22.5c till 20:45 and it creeps up to 30c, found out people are cooking food in the house at these times so that's why it's going up hot air from downstairs is coming up, so now when cooking just keep the back door open done.
Little things like that easy to sort out and I wouldn't have known yeah it creeps up to 30c and comes down but not for a few hours or so.
Any way people here are some pictures.

Update yesterday, 11/04/2020
Defoil the bottom 3rd of the plant's, and will do this again on day 21 of flowering
Will space them out and maybe chuck another light in there, not sure at the moment because of the temps in the room but we will see.
Going to take the tank out of the room at some point this week as the water is around 22/24c not good will cause root rot and could explain why one of my plants is a lot droopy than the others.
Will get some photo's today for you people.

Cant wait to see that full of flowers 
Dude I used those for CMH and it was nice. Check out this from Migro:

The cheapass umbrella reflector mops the floor with the other ones (IF i remember correctly)
Anyway I'm pretty sure thats just a testament to the benefits of vertical bulb usage, not really the reflector.
But tbh if I had 4 600s going in normal greenhouse reflectors I would be way too lazy to change them out. it sounds like it's not worth the cost for the gains once you already have 4 lights overlapping.
One side being 1.75m gives you a small advantage already. Now you use 685 w/m² instead of 600. Maybe if the room was truly 2x2 or slightly bigger parabolic reflectors will be a more significant upgrade. Just my 2 cents...maybe I'm completely wrong haha

Yeah, i was thinking it might not be worth it as i've got a ton of light in that small place anyway that makes sense mate, and you are right now this would be a pain in the add to change the reflectors and I can't be ass'ed.
Will take a look at that video anyone, also now i'm thinking that is best film to cover the wall's i use the Black and white seem's okay and cheap but looking if there is anything better for my other big room at this location.
