Yea i really liked the intensity of that light. Hanging in the basement it would light up the upstairs if i had the door open.I tried 12, 14, 16, and 18..inches.
The chocolate took the foot-height like a champ..had a strong metabolism.
The SLCh are more sensitive.
The Diesels liked the middle road more.
This 3500k light is so strong that water droplets are the enemy during lights on, lol.
All beautiful lights .. A close buddy saw them yesterday and asked how much to build some for his friend, he fucking loves them..
I said 1000 and 500 depending on size and style.

Hydrocorn, XXL mon, a top seller in Canada apparently
It's food grade clay thats airy.
I'm trying a bag out on a few geos,
see if i like it as a rockdress and air bottom
It's serious. My boy bent down and peeked up at it the other day. He won't ever do that again, I bet, lol

Yea i still look a little too close sometimes. I think its pretty obvious the plants like the light though. I've got a tree that will be on its second over-wintering, a geranium that survived the frost and my 3 gallon smartie with the rosemary and thyme bush all going strong under that low profile 4' veg lamp i built.

Note the bit of water mark bleach damage from watering when lights on.
Huge leaves from seed, even on this sativa dom PurpleD, which shot from a 3 setter to a 7 setter in about 3/16" flat

Jar smelled bit rude, but busted up she went right sweet and sour, very unique, and hard to explain..
Also hard to explain, this 3rd gen clone of our super Stinky stacky Sativa

night before last me and my 2 kids (girls 4 & 6) were up on the roof and I asked them both to smell the flowers, 2x Dr Who, 1x Viet Sativa, 1x Blue Dream, which are flowering. The only one the said ewwww on was the Blue Dream and she does smell pretty skunky. The Viet has a unique smell, cant describe it, "fresh" maybe with some piney addition as well. And both the Dr Who's reek of lemon really nice smell, sweet and sour on stem rub.

Haha, what's next, Black Forrest Cake!?
Good names, bredgren, keep it up.
***********************************************************
The sour cream was really weird. Pink hairs, curly glossy leaves like excess nitrogen or water, but again, very sheeny. No till beds were too deep and wet I think.
A strange beast no doubt. Really grows on you tho.
***********************************************************
As for the Sativa, her new growth is verrry stacked and green. Hate to even top it.. It be Loving life in the 7gal, and the one gal under the sink too.
Figured a 3rd genner would be insane tho.
This 2nd genner is so stacked and so stinky and so tough, its totally resistant to changes, even stretching and P lockup, I'm excited to identify it and breed with her or him, whatever sex it is.
***********************************************************
Ok now, Enter the experimental pots with Ocean Farma tweaks..
Not only are we testing 3 types of the coir now,
We have 3 different amounts of kelp we be testing..
Normally Dp is the genius but I think I'm on to something..
With 60 trace elements and its low NPK it seems a safe and worthwhile trial
It's not a huge leap like leaf mould but should be really good to see how the different percentages of kelp play out
0.5%
1%
2%
And 3%

Speaking of last years hilights, here's a little hilight reel from the Don Fam to yours..
F1 Super Lemon Chernobyl from seed
Vortex Bubba with a glossy finish after ~100 days of water only in a 1 gallon smartie
Sheer frost shots from our early days..thanks to the china panel
Blurry but beautiful.
Our super special, visual, in house Gravy
Known as The Colonel's Gravy from now on..
She will be back soon
Ok, Behind the scenes..
Tore down the tents to build the wooden one.. Little Imagination and a few screws later..
Ah thats better..Water proof red, yellow and green floor for the cuties be here to stay (with slick black trim for the winter)
One of the many Dense colas of Chocolate off of the 4000k spectrum panels that the talented Dp manifested for his boy.
'twas so tasty. This was the nug that liked being ten inches away late
Chocolate, once again.
It's all about the roots though, isn't it..

Wow!!! are they grown under cobs?, I'm 2-4 weeks off starting my first run under my diy cob fixture, which is really a prototype for 2 slightly bigger lights, and to be honest, I'm pretty nervous about the harvest weight/denseness of buds, obviously I've read the threads, but they're proper poisonous threads pmsl, those guys could start an argument in an empty room. I've read conflicting reports and I've also seen great results with led (on photo's).
Here's some snaps of the fixture
9 cxa3070AB 3000k between 3 hlg-h185-c1050a + 24v led strip 5000k on 60w driver, the whole light draws a measured 358W, this is covering a 4x4 tent(the code on the driver may be wrong, but the values are right). Do you think this is enough? and what height do you keep your lights?, I'm having humidity issue's, although my temps are perfect.

Hahaha, just noticed a major flaw in my room set up, looking at these pics, my oscillating fan blowing air on to my heat sinks is going right across my out take fan outlet, think I'll move it to the other side.
