Damn those are growing like crazy! What strain is that? I can already tell it's going to pump out some massive colas, I haven't grown anything that fills out that much in ages

Beautiful room What hydro set up is that and what is the lime green stuff at the top of the pots?

Thank you that's much appreciated, it's a drain to waste system. Each grid has its own pump and manifold with 4 port drip heads, each plant has 1 open ended 1/4" drip line that is attached to the 6" flood and drip caps (the green things). The caps are made by floraflex and are pretty damn sweet. Each cap has 4 gravity drippers that have 4 holes, so the water is caught in the drip cap and drips out evenly through the drip holes in the cap. The pots are 7" square pots filled with rockwool mini cubes. Hope I explained it decently

Damn! I'd be so happy with 2.25 a light, actually would give myself a pat on the back and give the girlfriend a bigger allowance lmao. That's a great yield especially for low yield strains. All I grow are low yield strains as well, I have animal cookies, dosido, pre 98 Bubba and mendo Breath in flower now. The mendo is usually a good yielder for me but they filled out much different than they usually do. They usually stack nicely but this time they didn't stretch much at all and are 4.5' under the light. The rest are 3.5' under the light. I'm doing 12 plants per light in 7" pots of rockwool mini cubes

I want to run that dosido. Did you get from northern California?

Thanks man. There's some cookies kush critical mass and incredible bulk but not very happy with the bulk. As they are so very slow in the veg and wont be growing them again. The last grow the cookies kush pulled 2.2 off it and the bulk went just over a lbs

Here's a pic of the drip caps. The work awesome for handwatering as well. I forgot to mention, the 7" pots sit in the ebb and grow buckets. It's not set up for ebb and grow, but it's easily convertible. I'm using the buckets to catch the run off from the water which is then plumbed to drain outside. I can also set a tray on top and do more than 12 plants per light (there's only 12 buckets per light, so I either gave to always have 12 plants or set a tray on the buckets to do sea of green)

Yes sir, it's a great plant. Stretchy af though, even in veg. It's my tallest plant I have but dank! Heres a pic at 6.5 weeks in

I got 2 pounds 113 grams on a 5 week veg on a very low yielding fire og with 6 plants in 10 gallon pots of peat moss (sunshine#4). I just harvested my second run on the nanolux DE. This time i did 15 plants in 3 gallon pots with a 3 week veg. Basically I'm still learning the lamp, trying to get closer to 2.5-3 units with a low yielding strain. I should start trimming the 2nd run any day now.

Grow some heavy yield strain bro so we can tell what these Nanoluxes DE can do.

Get some Gorilla Glue #4 clones or get some heavy yielding seeds. We need to see what those bad boy lights can do.

Sounds like you know what you are doing with 2 lb. Keep up the good work. :peace:

Thanks for the info. Really cool system. :mrgreen:

Any idea what you can pull per pot? Nice job

@CannabisNerd has seen it first hand me pulling 3lbs off the GG4 per phantom DE light I got. Multiple times. Someday soon here I'm gonna get a par meter and compare my lights to those nanolux i/we installed in his new growroom.

He's got a supposed dif cut(to be determined) than I do, but I got mine from a midnightfarms nursery. It's a beautiful cookies cut. Wish it was as rock hard as some other cookies I got, but Not that bad either :-)

I got the cut out in Patterson.
Mines gotta be different, at least they look totally different in veg , look at this floppy bastard lol. Super og looking

When I did ebb /flow with hydroton, bigger plants (9 per light) under a regular hps between 3-4 zips a pot, with medium plants (12 per light under regular hps bulb) 2-3 zips per plant. But now I'm using rockwool and still learning, but hoping to get around the same. If after a few cycles I'm not getting 2+ per light in rockwool I'll probably go back to hydroton. I'm new to rw but have grown in hydroton for like 10 years so there's a learning curve for sure!

Indeed, ac is a must! Actually, like you, I shut mine off and just have 2 6" intake fans pulling outside air and 2 8" fans for expelling the air. Works like a champion in the winter! I can keep it whatever Temps I want to the degree with the controller. Dehu heats the room when needed at lights off which allows fresh air to be pulled in during lights off which is good. Also have a volcano (or something near that name) humidifier that is more like a swamp cooler. It has a fan and blows air outwards with a puddle of water in a tray that is auto refilled to the level needed with the X2 2.5 gal water jugs it holds. So I can keep my rh at 65% or whatever I want, even when it's dry af in the winter.

If you don't mind me asking, how much was your mini split? In April I'll be installing one and I no nothing about air conditioning. My buddies brother hooks them up luckily.. Is this a good system? It's the one I'm thinking about getting, just becausda Mitsubishi lol, I always thought Mitsubishi is a good brand but I'm not sure haha. What would it cost to install that?

View attachment 3807705

Mitsubishi. ...best mini split you roombuy but they are pricey. You get what you pay for with the big ticket grow room appliances. Same.with the good comercial grade dehueys. And Mitsu are the ones that first came out with them too. I think the grow store ones with quick connects are junk. My HVAC stoner buddies wont even hook them ones up. LG makes a good one too. Now i must ask...what is this humidifier you speak of? Iam very interested.

Ahh right on, I'm just using the nanolux bulbs atm but will be switching to the Phillips when I need to change the bulbs. They say the bulbs last a year but I don't buy that, I'm going to replace them in 8 months to be safe. Also, I have no idea how bright the bulbs should be, they are bright, but I have nothing to compare them too so I hope they are OK haha. I'm being a little outrageous, my foot prints are 5x6, 5x5 and 5x4.5, from left to right. The 5x4.5 is because my res is over there and if my room was a bit bigger, I might had run 5x6 all the way around except for the ends without cross lighting.. The cross lighting is supposed to be where it's at! If I don't get 2 lb a light I'll publicly shoot my left nut off. Then again, I might lose a nut because this is my first real run with the lights and I don't even know how good they are yet haha

Use a digital footcandle or lumen meter. Its not a PAR meter but the 2 are related. A fc meter...been using one for years. Its always told me when to change bulbs instead of a guessing game like time. One of the most underrated tools in a growers arsenal.

since1991 · Oct 18, 2016

And with the new double ended hps lamps everyone is using...you can get respectable yields off all the low yielding strains which are almost always FIRE. Almost all my Sin City strains arw low yielding. But with these lamps and doing the right things in the veg room (the secret to low yielding og based gear is what you do to them inVEG)i can get them to yield decent.

Right on, I'll go with the Mitsubishi then, their products have always done me well in the past. The humidifier is called a Vornado. It's pretty cheap at like $100, but don't let it fool you, it easily humidifies 350sqf, I just refill it every other day which kinda sucks, but then again I'm always in the flower room daily anyway and it would last much longer without refills if I didn't have so much fan action and the dehu going. Flower room has been at a perfect 60-70%rh for the first 2 weeks (playing around with VPD) of flower no problem. I'll be getting one for the drying room as well because I don't like how other humidifiers blow out steam, I don't want that steam stuff anywhere near my bud, the Vornado just raises the rh, no steam. Easy, simple and effective. It uses evaporative humidity

Nice...and thank you. I need a good Humidifier also. Playing with VPD is a smart idea. Eapecially with co2.
