+++Journal+++ Opening my first indoor grow for discussion as it evolves. Done a fair amount of research, and input is always appreciated. Experience trumps all. Hope you enjoy the journey.... Set these clones back week 1 by over stressing them WAY TOO much day 1 (way too premature as well)...

Adjusted light height to keep 24in distance. Keeping right dimmer @ 60%, left is now dialed down to about 40%. New tips on the BD still showing up yellow. Wondering if that's just the genetics. Also put a heating pad under the BDs hoping to help them flourish. Notice floor temp is much cooler...

Day 8 - 4/6/20 Flushed BD #1&2 with distilled water @ about 4 pH. Somehow they're still reading almost 7. Thinking the pH needs time to adjust. They're looking happier without the dying limbs and began producing more up top. SC going beast, may top that long before the others.

Soil pH jumped from 6.5 last reading to 7.0 ... Explains yellowing - think it's nute burn in conjunction with branch damage inhibiting essential flows to certain leaves (namely the BD is affected). Over nuted if anything due to the early feeding. The BD may also need more Nitrogen now at 1wk...

Clovers produce nitrogen

Apparently there's a disclaimer on their site for a 25% tariff included in their pricing until it the tariff is no longer active.

Expecting to need a fan on them for sure. PRO TIP on their clearance section! Will definitely keep lurking.

4 total pucks added incrementally (adding to current LEDs). Eventually replacing everything in the 5x5 with these. If just one or two I was thinking along the lines of you as well, plus it supports a vendor more.

Thank you for the feedback @Airwalker16 , was hoping someone like you would chime in on heat.

Ideally I'd like to separate the driver. That will allow for less heat and the 140mm heatsink instead to cut cost and be mountable without modification. Good eye @TintEastwood !

Build cost notes: Pre-built = $185 (dimmable w/ cased controller) DIY = approx. $158 $55 Chilled Logic Puck V3 ~$50 Meanwell HBG-100-48B driver $25 160mm pin heatsink (building my own racks anyways later - will adjust) $4 ChilLED Logic Puck Thermal Pad $5 Universal Wire Connector ~$10 10'...

Lol, it's listed in the specs on rapidLED's site, just not in their store... /facepalm

Very helpful, thank you @Humple !

So I was looking at building my own 100W Chilled pucks, but can't find anywhere to purchase the hanging attachment for singular builds. (may just end up contacting vendors) You know, the one with the hanging hook that attaches to the heatsink to hang individually? Pic of the whole unit attached...

Nice journal :weed: . At first I was really curious if you were going for a SOG approach with 8. Ambitious ;) Those 3 look great and I'm digging the circular trellis! Best wishes on the new home for the others - hope they bring back happy clones!

Fuckin proud of these stats past night. Really dialing in the Temp and RH mgmt. Important with a whole new setup probably as I see many people struggling with those issues. Plants seemed to love the higher humidity (50% avg) over night. Considering their previous environment, makes sense...

Thanks @OldMedUser & @BarnBuster ! Slowly the saddle is becoming more polished

Actually decided to dial the lights back to 24in. height and 50% dim. Reason being the yellow still on the leaves (BD #1&2 especially). After eliminating everything but light and lots of reading, they may not be well rooted yet and it's too much light. Hoping for solid root growth to occur...

Now that you point it out, true @xtsho... Depending on what I've learned with mastering soil for gardening (not cannabis - i grow many leafy greens and medicinal + culinary herbs outdoor which loves my cool env). Easy to miss with the untrained eye. Still, if the mix is right, may be a great...

Wow, even to the untrained newbie eye this is very impressive. Spectacular grow! Could I ask which 1000w LEDs you're using and how high you had them in veg? Were they dimmed at all? Much appreciated in advance. Just trying to see what works for others vs. what articles say. Aware all plants are...
