.my next run i will have a larger tent/light/exhaust/ and it will be recirculating.. i never realized how hard it is to adjust the nutrient mix when they are in a scrog..

 

[Nafydad420]

WOW i have learned soo much, ive learned more about how to just look at the plants instead of following any charts to the T.
ive learned how to Fim, Lst, scrog, top and even fix some deficiencies
ive also learned that my tent is not much space to work with haha

I keep my res outside of my room and just built the wall with the intention of putting piping through it. It makes things easier and cooler for your plants. You know what sort of lighting you lookin at getting next?

I'm looking at either 600w or 1000w mh and hps combo.
OR if I can do it right, an LED setup.
Oh also, I will have recirculating buckets with the fill bucket being out of the grow space. 10000000%

 

[Nafydad420]

I'm having to use a hand pump to change the res or even to feed the plants. Makes life difficult.

I love my cob lights I built and I’m excited to try the qb’s I bought from hlg. I went away from hid lighting awhile ago though the cmh lights look nice too and seen some really nice grows with them. But again I’ll stick with leds lol.

Put the net down last night.. I use a small transfer pump to change out nutrients.

They have hlg lights pick the one best suited to your needs. Timber makes nice cob lights or you can build through cobkits.

That was my original intent a couple years ago but never really need it.

 

[NrthrnMichigan]

I'm realy impressed with the T5 ho's supplements for the scrog.. Adds quite a bit of weight in the end.

does it REALLLY? ive read that it does! plus if your hps burns out you arent screwed! two of the reasons im using a t5

You using those new uv lights or just regular t5’s? I used to have a few of those maverick sun motherships back a about 5 years ago to see how they would do on their own. Then I had them in my shop for overhead lighting before I switched all my florescent lights to leds lol 13 of those in my shop 2 bulbs each of 5k there’s not a dark spot in there lol.

DE, or better yet, cmh. Cmh emits UV, which can activate up to 15 different plant defense mechanism and protiens - Oil production, resin product, stomatal density, increased aroma, photosynthesis efficiency, strengthens plant, etc. just to name a few. Best par spectrum that closest match actual sunlight, compared to all available lights in the market (that i know of so far). Only uses 315 watts (per bulb). When dialed in, you'd be surprise how much buds only 315 watts can produce.

1 315w cmh provides even canopy lighting for 12 of my 2.5 footer in a 6x8 veg room. 2 weeks ago, they were only 10" tall.

Both of the above are good suggestions for led. And while I have not used mine yet I am loving what I have seen in the past week from the fluence spyder x plus! Expensive but we'l worth it imo!! I don' think you can go wrong with Any of these. Also I don' own a timber but have seen what they can do and I ended up buying the fluence spyder plus but timber has fantastic customer service and told me that there light and the spyder x are both great choices. Didnt' down another companys product and make there's sound superior. Now that is cs that I can respect and would not hesitate to go with timber led. Again GREAT CS and how they handle/present themselves. I was impressd by that. If you do go led I hope this helps.
