My new setup!

I havn't posted in a long time, but been slowly gathering speed on my med garden. It hasn't always been easy with the space I'm able to use, but I have finally been able to move some things around and I've spent a lot of time saving up and stockpiling.

Over the years, I had always preferred Hydro. I found it to be simple for me, but I have been using soil for the past couple years due to headroom and humidity in my basement. the LED's have helped control things a lot. I have a pair of smaller ones that I've had success with before upgrading to these. I'm very happy with the way they perform and the lower heat given off by them makes things way easier to deal with. It did take a little getting used to some of the different growth characteristics.

This pic is a couple days old. I switched to 12/12 4 days ago. I'm still looking for the best Genetics for me...Bu this Critical Kush has performed well for me before and this is the healthiest I have ever gotten it at this point.

5x10 area with 12 7 gallon pots. using Vermifire soil and adding mostly Espoma Granular Garden-Tone because I got sick of spending so much money on liquids that didn't do any better.

Admittedly- After growing for Many many years, it took me a long time to figure out how to stay on top of the soil needs. It's like you gotta be 2 weeks ahead on everything. LOL.

This is slightly better I think, But The light appears to be too intense for my camera. I need to get a filter for the lens apparently.

Vermifire. This is the first stuff I have tried besides the cheap pro-mix blends. I'm sure my skills are getting better too (I was a hydro guy before), but this stuff feeds them for the first 30 days or so before I start top layering with Espoma and a few other things (cal-mag, etc.)
 
Heya Super, question, how much of the scrogg did you cover before you switched?
how far through the scrogg were they before the switch?
because you say the photo is a few days old and you switched 4 days ago
 
This Critical Kush Doesn't stretch a whole lot. It was a few inches through the screen before I switched the lights. the pic posted on 9/9 was current at the time, 5 days after light change.
 
Funny you should mention the Lucas Formula. I still have some left from doin hydro and I do supplement it frequently, however not on this current crop. I am attempting to use all granular organics. I just added a bunch of Earth Juice Rainbow mix a week or so ago. Things are going awesome. Gonna try a pic with a different cam soon.
