Grow info:
Strain(s): Gelato #33 (from clone)
Medium: 3g Hempy buckets, straight perlite
Lighting: 2x BLOOMSPECT SL1000 100w QB panels (Performance tested)
Nutes: AN Ph Perfect Grow, Micro, Bloom

Background:
It's been a couple of years since my last grow; I decided to replace my BLOOMSPECT blurples and go to a new nutrient regimen.
I'll try to keep updated at least weekly. This grow is primarily for shits & giggles; I have a Sunset Sherbet seed I'm going to try and pop later.

I got my nutrients and new lights installed, so here we go!

Retail clone planted July 1st.
Week1 - Acclimation period, running half-strength nutrients, lights @ 40%

Aside from those massive drivers on the back those look similar to my Mars Hydros. I was in a smaller tent but yielded decently with 200w. I didn't get final weight, nor did I get to smoke any of it, tried drying in a new spot and it all molded.

Ah man, that's rough! I've had a few stashes go moldy, but never an entire crop!

Yeah those are SOSEN drivers contained within a shroud w/ AC input and dimmer. Coming from blurples and DIY racks made of retail LED bulbs, I'm excited to get started using this newer QB tech.

I just got everything all dialed in before lights out; they're putting down 26K lux @ 60% power, 18 inches up. I plan to increase the brightness slightly every week til flower.

:weed:UPDATE: Week 3:

So much growth in a week!
The plant really seems to be liking the lights and nutrients.

Starting LST, seems to have adjusted well so far.

Slowly Increased nutrients to 12ml / gallon. I had some concerns over the solution sitting too long (ph adjust falling out) so I moved to smaller containers. Tried a .700 liter water bottle, not enough to fill the reservoir with some runoff; currently planning to feed 3 ml / liter every other day.

Lights brightened to 75%.

:weed: UPDATE WEEK 4:

My young lady is still growing 'like a weed' (yoink!) :mrgreen:

Feeding 2L bottle of 6ml solution every other day.
Increased lights to 100%.
Performed another round of LST and have all established tops bent over.

I anticipate she will be a nice lil' bush by the time we flip to 12/12 in a couple more weeks.
