All the clones are from green solution here in Colorado ive given up cloning at the moment and just growing new strains every run, all started in rock wool cubes then transplanted to the clay pellets in the net pots

I used Kind with every supplement for last few years and had great results but different homemade rdwc system and had 2 gallons of soil in each net pot which let me mess with organics

Na I don't use co2, prob will in the summer, have all the equipment but in the winter instead of pumping hot air outside (passive intake) I pull room air through the hoods and into a forced hot air vent in my livingroom... Cuts down on my oil bill huge! But makes it so co2 isn't really an option in the winter.

I don't want to hijack either, I just posted those pics to see if you were getting the same deficiency... Post a pic of your deficiency at its worst when you get a chance do I can see if it looks familiar. If anyone else has any insight im all ears, but thinking it's the nutrients possibly being lower grade/lack of calmag... Are you getting the overall bud size you want? I always felt mine was lacking and I had only run cultured solutions....

And you think those led's are doing much for you? Are they just lighting up a shaded area.... I don't know enough about them but feel like other than maybe adding a different spectrum they need to be pretty close from what I thought I have seen others say and would think the hid's are over powering them. Like lighting a candle in a lit room, doesn't do much for brightening the room...Looks like a super clean setup though!

Agreed on the leds, they really are just for side lighting and specttum, only 300 watt panels. They do help a bit though and once the ladies stretch there gonna be closer. Week 2 starts today so plenty of time


Pics of issue below: only a few old leaves on two of the girls doesn't seem to be spreading

Reason i was asking about the co2 is because of the air pump I saw in your room.
AND GREAT LOOKING TREES Wyoming, Love the light setup :clap:

I've got a separate room for all the electrical with door blocked off with two layers of black and white poly using tarp zippers so the co2 is contained. Fresh air intake in electrical/reservoir room is pointed right at air blower for just that reason, cold non enriched air

thats a nice looking room youve got there. im usually not a fan of working in outbuildings, but this looks really well done. i am now seriously considering putting led's and t5's on my walls.
Thanks It's my first grow in outbuilding myself but had the time to try to do it right lol. I have a long list of things I f'd up on that I'm planning on fixing after this run.

Did most of the work besides the framing and electrical which I know enough about to hire pros

New addition today of a 1500 watt generator just in case

Slim if you don't mind me asking what were your stats like when you ran current culture? How many watts of lighting and how many #'s you pull off.

I run 4 1k in flower, environment dialed in with the exception of adding co2 right now. Like I said. I would always get 25z+ in soil from 6 plants, I'm doing about the same now in hydro with only four plans but I know there's a lot of room for improvement. I've had some much lower yields depending on strain, really I need to pull 8 a plant to put me where I should be at 32 per light. I'll report what my numbers are in just over a week and since I'm pulling one of the lights 7 days from today.

I do think my numbers are going to go up after switching nutrients, even hitting 25 per light was a struggle with cultured solutions for me

image.jpeg Foliar spray today with liquid karma and a bit of vitamins. Girls looking nice bit more stretch than I would have liked. Only two feet left to raise the lights but should end up about perfect height. Sweet island skunk is trying to dominate the garden had to do some lst to normalize canopy a bit
