GDP & Quantum Boards - smokebros style

[smokebros]

Why don't you build a 8 quantum board 132 frame at 2700k and 3500k mix....light each board at 30-40 watts and probably would light up that space.

I'm going to price that out and match up drivers to it, solid idea. Just gotta see if it makes sense budget wise.

Grandaddy Purple #2 is definitely coming down this week. Trich's on the upper buds have some ambers showing up. Middle/lower buds are mostly cloudy.

3x3 tent update.
Day 11 flower of the GDP clones. They're exploding both in roots and foliage growth. PH levels have been extremely stable using the flood and drain table. Typically topping off the res with 1-2 gallons of RO every couple days and changing it out completely 1x per week.

If you follow this thread you may notice I changed out the 150w Chinese LED. I pulled out an old hood and threw a 400w MH bulb in there. Quite a noticeable difference in growth after a couple days, the plants really perked up. These plants will finish flowering in the 4x4 tent under the Quantum Boards once space opens up in a few weeks.

Running the res at the following amounts:

RO water - 10 gallons
Protekt (silica) - 25ML
Calimagic - 25ML
Canna Coco A&B - 50ML/ea
Biocozyme - 25ML
Great White - 5ML
Recharge - 2.5ML

EC comes out to 1.1 - 1.2.

Stopped using Hydroguard after I began using Great White. It too contains bacillus amyloliquefaciens so there's no reason to continue Hydroguard. Res temps are keeping around 65F with an airstone running 24/7.

Haha, thanks brother! Started using the iphone 7 with an app called Camera+. Great app that I had to pay $2-3 for, but it allows for auto WB and some other neat settings. There is a macro button so all I do is press that for the close up pictures.

For the extreme close up's / trich shots I use a USB microscope. Bought it on Amazon for $35 and it has an A grade on fakespot, so the reviews are legit. It plugs directly into my laptop and I can take pictures, video, and do a bunch of neat stuff with it. Better than one of those jewelers loop's I had been using.

Cut down GDP #2 last night and hung everything up inside the 2x2 tent. Definitely going to yield nicely with this plant, got 15 large chunky arm-length colas. All the larger fan leaves with stems were removed, same with the dead/drying up leaves.

Going to do a swap today - GDP clones that are currently flowing in the 3x3 will go into the 4x4. The GDP in the 4x4 will finish under a 400w MH in the 3x3. I'm going to experiment whether finishing under a MH for the last week bring out any unique traits. The ballast is digital so I can swap the bulb with an HPS, but the plan is to leave as is.

This will be the last update in this thread. All future updates on this round of grandaddy purps will be posted on the following thread:

This will be the future home of all grow related updates.
