4x GeekBeast Plus Hydro Grow

Well, let’s just see what it does then shall we? The tops on the right half of the table are around 1700ppfd Only day 19 of flower. That’s far beyond anything anyone would recommend, but remember I like to come to my own conclusions! They might cook, they might not High VPD 1.5-1.7, high EC (3.0). We’ll see how they do for awhile and I’ll either be raising the light back up, or dropping all the other lights lower

Nice we’re about on the same schedule, but my crosses runs to 60-65 days, here they are at 31 days yesterday in the budget room.818B74A3-E0D2-4658-8699-01C8BF73BF52.jpeg

The geekbeast room is vegging out and will flip after 4th July weekend. Your not testing out the high pfd section anymore? Was gonna say I had them on top of a few plants 4” away and tops cooked, not bleached but cooked as in crispy to the touch lol, was feeding around 4 ec at that time in that run.

This is my 4th run with LED’s and when I tried to follow standard vpd rules the plants would struggle when I tried to push the ppfd. I ended up using a higher vpd by the 3rd run 1.5-1.7 and the plants were good. I veg and flower in the same range as well. EC around 3 in flower.

Yup definitely gotta run a higher vpd with led. When im peaking in the room I’m aiming for 85-86 temps and 70-75 humidity at 100%, ec been good for me at 3 and when I dial down 2.5-2.8. I’ll update after 4th July if u don’t mind.
 
Those geekbeast lights look pretty dope dude. Very well designed. If I were in the market for more lights they'd be a top contender. Very high tech and for a fair price. Great work on the grow rooms. Clean and efficient. I'm looking forward to seeing your harvest under the BG's with the added UV.

Do you keep the UV on all the time or do you have to manually flip a switch on / off for certain intervals? I've always wondered about that. I hear it's most effective for 3-4 hours per day. Flipping a switch every day would be challenging.

Day 5 from flip 85-87 temps, humidity 75% co2 800ppm. 1st trellis up and super crop some tops, will clean up bottoms n crop some more in 2 days. Feeding 3.0 ec lights at 75%. Got the igfuti seeds germ n rocking in some wool, will get pics of them soon

Being that I have 4 lights I’ve done some comparisons between them. Same plants, same feed, etc. I’ve ran ir/uv off, ir/uv on, ir in the beginning of flower and uv at the end, and also like you’ve mentioned with shorter intervals. I’ve seen absolutely no difference between any of them so I just leave them on now all the time. Luckily the lights kick ass regardless!

I also have the wifi model lights so I can set specific schedules to the UV/IR settings via the GeekBeast app. Otherwise you flip switches on the driver.

Those are some gorgeous colas dude! I love the efficiency you've created squeezing such a lush canopy into a relatively tight footprint. Any estimate on yield? It looks like you're gonna have good news when it all hits the scales.

It’s my 4th run with them. I’ve done 2+ per light each grow. Did 3+ on the second run but was a nightmare of humidity and lower larf. My goal is to hit 3 per light with no larf. I think it’s definitely doable but things need to line up pretty well.

I’m running 12 plants per light and probably need to do 16.

Done 16 per 4x4, a lot more work than I want to do. Really need to thin them to have light penetrate bottoms. Now I’m 9 per 4x4 and only do a clean up/lollipop n thin once and hit same numbers when I was crowding. I also get veg 5-7 days longer cause I top longer which I don’t mind. I hate having to pluck leaves 3 times in a run lol
