Almost all of the 2.0 going in looks like this. And I was wrong on my height estimate.
Closer to 2 ft going in. View Image

Ha! I've prolly never seen an untopped 2.0 before, all my clones get topped while in solos...

Actual OGKB phenos I leave alone but I should probably try your style grow someday with 20 plants or so under a light.

I'm super pleased too with the results from my DE CMH thousand and 630.
$50 Chinese DE 630 bulb with conventional high frequency ballast killed it just like the $575 Nanolux low frequency thousand.

I had my lights up nine feet and lit room at 30 watts per sq ft with great density and penetration but the smell and flavor are much improved and I took everything at sixty days too.

So glad I switched!

Ya I try to just mono crop trays with a semi sog style. Maximize my tray space for yield . Since I run my 40s underneath I need some room to be able to work during water changes so only way I could add another tray is if I turned all 3 against the right side block wall. But the 3rd tray would lose some height as there's return ducting there.

I was in the middle of switching to coco and still had some plants in cubes in the veg tray to flower. I don't like to waste plants or money and so just tossing them would have been both. So far switching to coco has been a bit of a challenge for me. Plants that would normally be healthy at lower doses in the rockwools seem to take 2x the amount of nutrients to stay healthy... Here's the room now. Just flipped 12 2.0s and 4 forums and the left tray is 15 ecsd at 10 days.

Right now right tray they're getting a transition mix of pbp grow 200ml and pbp bloom soil 200ml and calmag 250 ml/40gal Left tray is at about 750 ml of pbp soil bloom and 350 ml of calmag /40gal and still isn't quite as healthy looking as id like. I'm starting to think Im going to go through nutrient supplies faster by using coco.

Do you use potassium silicate?
And what size bags are you flowering in?
Thank you. :smoke:

Pp is one of the strains I used to run alot lol. No potassium silicate that I know of. Just pure blend pro and some calmag right now. They're in 1 gallon smart pots.

You might get more efficient nutrient uptake using potassium silicate. And stronger stems as it strengthens cell walls increases resistance to mould and pests and heat stress. I use it in coco and notice the difference. In soil mixes, I add diatomaceous earth. There are threads here on IC about silica if you are interested.

I've tried it before in my ebb and flow trays. I ran advances rhino skin for 3 cycles and didn't really notice much of a difference. With coco and these multi feeds, the stalks get pretty thick.

I think rhino skin may be a diluted piss poor excuse.
However, thats all i wanted to say:biggrin: :joint:

2.0 looks like it's going good. I've had to treat the coco a lot differently than the The cubes. It's been a challenge finding the right nutrient strenth to make them happy but I think it's close. 12 days in and they're reaching for the light.

How much PBP and Calmag+ you feeding? How often? To runoff?

What type of coco do you recommend?

Right now for coco I'm feeding 3x a day for 5 min each time. Both trays are on the same timer. Left tray gets 23.75ml /gallon of bloom. 15/g of calmag. Haven't started boosters yet. Don't know if I will this cycle. Right tray is at 5ml grow 9 ml bloom, 10ml calmag. It's all in the canna coco bricks. Fed to runoff

That's a happy room sturg.
How many mls of nutrient solution does a pot get in 5 minutes?
According to a VPD chart, @ 72F would be shooting for 65%rh, is VPD something you take into account?
