Ladies and gentlemen here we go again with another run .. but this time I will document it differently!

Here, I will be documenting all my runs and experiments in this particular grow space (see my previous run in the signature below for additional details and pictures). It is 4' x 6' but the middle 4x4 is what'll be utilized mostly with the back 1' for the plants to stretch there when needed. And I may also hang the scrubber in the upper aspect of that space .. or keep it outside (still undecided).

Currently there are 3x 35L (9.25 gal) pots with cover crop after one cycle (see previous run for soil mix and amendments etc) and I added a 4th pot thats goin to be mainly to run smaller plants and autos (first pic)

Blumat maxis are used to water these pots. One maxi in each pot with 3 drippers spread around the middle!. The 4th pot will get the drippers soon, once I get them in the mail.

The 4th pot is a 30L (7.9 gal) where I mixed 1/3 each: FFOF and CocoLoco.
Last 1/3 consists of 1/3 of each of sand, FF happy frog soil conditioner and perlite (i doubled the perlite amount actually later) then added 2 handfulls of my hot compost, a scoop of GWS, 1.5TBS of neem meal, 2TBS of happy frog bulb food 3-8-8, 2TBS of kelp which i collected from a beach nearby and dried it ;-)
That was mixed on monday july 17
On the 18th I top dressed with 2TBS of malted barley and sprouted mung beans powder and watered it in then spread some bird feed seeds and alfalfa seed on top this 4th pot.

The current light run above those 4 pots to veg them and keep them going is a 350w COB LED Optic Grow Lights CXB3070 4000K. I will add at least 640w of HLG Quantum Board 3500K light for flowering later (and here's where I'll document building that light).

I planted 4 seeds in small pots with straight FoxFarm CocoLoco ... I'll keep the girls in those until they're ready for their no till homes!

The seeds are from The Single Seed Center TSSC (so glad your site is back up) and from top left clockwise (and in this order always):

1-Dinafem's Blue Kush
2-Loud's Sour Diesel
3-World of Seeds Sweet Coffee Ryder (free seed)
4-GreenHouse Bubba Kush

Loud's Sour D seed might have gotten damaged by customs or mail people handling and if it doesnt germinate and sprout, a barneys farm Liberty Haze will be planted in its place!
Till next uodate, happy growin yall :-)

In the process of building my own grow light eith Quantum Boards. The frame is all done and the heatsinks for those 6x QBs are also ready for the boards (first pic). For the sake of cleaŕing the diodes off the floor when wiring, i screwed some longer screws backwards to make little legs of stands for the frame last 2 pics.

I can be done and have about 650w of pure and intense white light but instead i will add some 4000k diodes to add some blue to the spectrum to help with the stretch and also add sifferent reds to help with photosynthesis, Emerson effect and night cycles with the far reds alone for 15min at night . May also add UV in the future too!

Because this will be a more complex built trying to replicate growmau5 quanyum canopy on youtube (minus the aesthetics hah, i MAY document it separately...time will tell :-) til next update happy growin and DIYin yall hah ;-)

One of the 3 older pots looks a little off compared to the 2 other older pots (bottom left compared to the 2 in the back). The mint cover crop isnt growing well and the leaf tips are burning. Maybe too much fert? Well for the sake of improving the soil, i added 2 tablespoons of my freshly harvested EWC with a bunch of worms and watered it in all the pots.
Til next update, happy growin yall :-)

The frame for my diy grow light is complete (1st pic) .... and marked with wherw I want the different diodes to go (2nd and 3rd pics).
In the next couple of weeks, and while waiting for the rest of the diodes to arrive, I will be setting up the quantum boards and whatever diodes I have and will save the drivers for last. I am still trying to decide where to set up the drivers and controller :-)
Til next update happy growin and DIYin yo ;-)

20x triple 4000k (60 diodes total)
5x triple deep red (15 diodes)
7x far red diodes
And 4 IR diodes
are all glued to the frame with Arctic Alumina thermal adhesive.
I'll screw the QBs on last when its time to wire and solder everything.
Til next update, happy growin and DIYin yo :-)

Heyhey Dr CannaPath :D
Your cover crops caught my eye - what have you got in there, are the leafy ones all mints?
And what about the grassy one?
Have you grown cannabis in those before too?
Cheers!

Awesome! So those mints, they "survived" being shaded by the canna - I imagine they went a bit straggly for a while?
Also, did you have the feeling the mintiness got transferred to the taste or smell of the plants you were growing?
Cheers :grin:

The LEDs were tinned and this stoner had to draw an outline of how the wires are running, just in case lol
All the LEDs were soldered .... each circuit has all the LEDs in series except the QBs will be wired later in parallel.
Wait ..... I just realized that the 15 deep reds were supposed to be split in 2 strings but I soldered everything all together in one string. I'll have to rectify that later, I guess, dang it
Til next update, happy growin and DIYin yall :-)

Hey hey hey ... been awhile with the little seedlings .... anyeay i finally got to it and repotted them into their final no till pots. Simply dug out a 3 inch diameter hole next to the old stem which just simple broke off and came out, then potted them baaam done.
The girls are from top left clockwise (i messed up from the original post):
1-Loud's Sour Diesel
2-Dinafem's Blue Kush
3-World of Seeds Sweet Coffee Ryder (free seed)
4-Pineapple express #2 bud mystery seed!
I found out what was wronf with the bottom left pot (where the PE2 was amd is now). The blumat in that pot somehow failed and was completely dry with no water in it. And the soil was just dried except for when i topdressed and hand watered once ever 2 weeks of so haha anyway i pulled it oit and refilled it with water after soakimg and put it back in the soil and will monitor it closely!
My advice is to checkon the blumats and clean out the drippers bedore every cycle :-)
The sweet coffee ryder is a bit late goin in her final home because shes tiny as all heck and already flowering .... didnt have enough room to grow in the last couple weeks
Til next update happy growin yall :-)

Alright alright ... about the light build ;-)
All done wired and fired up baaaaam. That thing is bright. Its so bright it made me feel i was sitting in the dark (cause I was behind it and looking at earth from the sun lmfao) there was a luttle hiccup and thats why theres no lit-up diy light porn yet ;-p
The xpg 4000ks didnt light up .. so I did the math and between 60 diodes thats 180V ... but my driver (240H-C1400) gives out a max of 179V. Hah dang it I need to disconnect one diode and THEN youll get the light porn ;-)
Til next update yo ... before ya know it hah
