That's cuz I Nute poisoned them again. Tried the Photosynthesis Microbe Life Nute again but 1/4 strength. Saw a lil Mamoth-P left in the sample bottle n mixed it in thinking awww it can't hurt. Well, wrong. Some took it better then others. Gotta lotta shit to clean off them now & leaves are on poor health. Went at it tonight.
I'll post pics this week though.
Buds are looking good once you look oast the leaves. But it's a bummer when I make a mistake like this.
Always did best sticking w/ what I know works. Messing w/ new stuff is always a risk when you've already gotta good thing.
Live n learn.
How's things on your end?

I raised it to 24" tonight as I believe that to be the sweet spot for coverage & intesity.
Hope this helps.

Hell yeah man I really appreciate it man and I agree by eye 24 inches seems to have best coverage wow it really isn't that intense as I thought lol this really helps me dial in more.

Glad it helped. 24" gives that good coverage. Personally, I don't know what I would've done w/o the meter when I set the lights for this room.
W/ that said, all my Pro-4's should go up. The #'s between the lights raise & has good uniformity of 1000.

Yeah I here you on that those meters are like 500 bucks if I'm correct . I need to get one myself waiting until I build my room which is going to be all solar power fed which is going to be 5×12 with 12ft ceilings. How many Watts does your amares pull in the 4.5×15

2 P-4's would be killer in a 4'x4', almost overkill though. 2 P-3's would be more efficient for that space & that's what id recommend.
Victor offers a HO version of the P-3's Ya know if you wanted a lil more power. I think they are like 68w per 3070 in the HO models. Not positive.

The 450 is their best value for the $ & is yeilds more then one might think for a 450 watter in a 4'x4'. 2 P-3's will cover better though like Born2Grow said. I think they have the screw on lens option too, which I like better then the ring on the P-4. Not sure though.
@PetFlora , is the P-3 a fixed (permanent set) reflector w/ the screw on lens ring?

Aftertaste? You mean in the cured bud? That stuff is raw sewage mixed w/ bags of assholes. Disgusting. My biggest mistake was mixing it w/ Mammoth-P. Really screwed up. Can't wait till next run. My veg is doing great w/ the new Horizons. I can't even believe what they can do @ only 100w each. Next run will be healthy & I'll have everything right by then. I skimped on my best Nute this run & shorted myself CoCoLoCo in my medium, which had allot to do w/ keeping enough Nitrogen through flower for me.
Born2Grow, I'll get you some Par readings tonight. 20" & 24" on the 450 right? Just want center so you know the intensity levels aren't to high?
This is a terrible grow for me, next run will be good though.

My P3 is normal Amare CoB design as it relates to lenses. However, I found the ring threads to be problematic. Seems like the burring was not removed a the factory. I had to use pliers to get the rings off when I briefly used the lenses. I made Amare aware of the problem

Solar hu! Sounds cool! Nothing like being off the Grid!
The meteres can be bought for $125. But yeah, they can get up there.
You converting a garage? That's what I almost did @ my last opp. My friend works w/ a garage. He's got his monster plants up on 2 milk crates w/ a double trellis he can walk upright under. A dream come true. All Mogul w/ insulated hoods & duct. Think it's 9 1000's & he only uses 1 , 1200 BTU AC. He installed it into a sub-wall & built a lung into the back which allows him to use the window AC year round as it's not exposed to the outside air so it doesn't freeze up.

Your grow looks fantastic. Pretty sure you've already told us what strain you're running? So nice to have them all growing together. I miss that. This Multi-Strain growing is tough & isn't work out well for me this run. Mostly do to my errors. Got a great veg going though so next run should be nice.

The Amare side uses approx. 2850 watts. 6, Pro-4's & 1, SE-450. Going to be replacing the 450 w/ another P-4. Not sure I'm a fan of the blue bump though. I like the 3k cobs better.
When are starting the room build? if I can assist in any way Lmk. Be happy too.

I like that design though. The reflectors are set as part of the fixture. In the 4's they are not & rely on a big ring to hold them in place. I discussed it w/ Vic. & he's working on a way to change that. We outta see a nice new model this year.
Your plant looks great BTW. I'd avoid the full de-fo this time. My Sensi-Star didn't like it a bit. I think it should only be done if one has to. Looking good though bud!

Yeah man that be awesome wont be untill spring to get anything done but definitely. I noticed the cobs on the 450 seem to have alto more red then the wicked 3000k stick and I was talking about your apogee par meter being 500 was going to get one but waiting for new room to get one. Its room in back of my house . I here yah in the multiple strain grow it can be a pain especially never growing that particular strain

Thanks, but that must be an older pic. Check out the one I just took, just 15 days from first pistil. I double defoled last time (same strain). will do it again at day 21. Babies are under SE 220

AFA the reflectors not being glued, I have a 220 and a 250 which have the same reflectors and rings for lenses. The rings come off no problem and the reflectors stay in place. However, on the P3 one reflector fell out. There was adhesive on the back side but apparently it did not make proper contact

My plan was to sell my SPYDR and get another P3 but no one stepped up, so I removed the diffusers which helped a ton and it covers 3+ x 3+

Do you have any pictures of the spider? Specs, shipping,cost?

I screw the rings back on when the lenses are off. Threads are a little tough but it is a top notch setup. I haven't seen any other light co offer this. Lots of time and money invested into something others don't see right?

I do, but at this point I am going to use it before I consider letting it go. Removing the diffusers made a HUGE improvement in the amount of light being emitted. Thinking I will put the 5 babies (girls hopefully) under it to veg out once their ~ 100 days older, amping veg up from 220w > ~ 360w, and will likely flower at last one plant under it, probably 2-3. I'm excited as I am a much more accomplished grower now, and have my F & D hydro dialed in. If interested do a interweb search for Hail Hydro

Believe me it's a quibble, but none the less, it's due to sloppy finishing from the factory. They need to know as 3 of my other Amare CoBs do not have this issue

Flo: rank pungent smell. Different, strong n hard to describe. Strong resin, trichs, terps. Real Dense. image.jpg image.jpg
Ace of Spades: first timer. Looks like a may have got the pink pheno. High terps, resin, trichs. Can't wait to do it right next time. Got 2 big ones ready to go in perfect health, thank god. Dense.
image.jpg image.jpg
Co2's running 700. Better then nothing I guess. Messed up thing is the veg rooms getting 1000. Disadvantages of having only positive air pressure for cooling rather then the recirculating Mini-Split or Window AC.
AC next run.
Plants are good as can be expected. They got the Photsynrhesis 1/4 strength but I mixed it w/ Mommoth-P. Big mistake. I won't be messing around next grow.
Northern lights Is a quick strain so gonna give her one OverDrive then Flush. All's good.

Northern Lights skipped OverDrive n went right to flushing upon trich inspection. 1/2 clear ,1/2 Cloudy.
Most strains are 56-64 days with the exception of the Sweet Amnesia which is 70+. Gives me time to harvest n trim. Think it's about day 40 now. Tonight they all got OverDrive, some will start flush next feed.image.jpg
