Organic Perpetual Grow- 4x4 Johnson Grow Light CX-4

So really this all started a little while ago and I have been tweaking and buying things in order to make this perpetual grow function as such and I have finally gotten all dialed in and prepared to show photos and continue on from there so here we go..

What strain is it? Long story short I allowed someone I shouldn't have to label the strains and it all went to hell and now I know what strains are in my tent, but I am not 100% clear on what is what just yet. As I have of course had some boys and i had to toss early. Although the picture has been getting clearer as the smells begin to distinguish themselves.
TGA- ShangRi La, Exotic Genetix- Cookies and Cream and 3 Batch 45 seeds were gifted and 2 sprouted, Cherry AK 47, Mystery Seed (believe it is Marionberry Kush, but was a seed gifted to me from my local dispensary. It had been sitting on their counter they knew I grew and asked if I wanted it, and they only have the funk soooo...why not) Also since this is perpetual I also have some ladies in the oven. Sand widow- which I was gifted from a buddy sprouted 2 seeds. La Plata Labs- Lemon Alien, Flubber, and Buddha Delight. Pie Face OG from Bag Seed- I think this particular bag was top 5 bag appeal i have ever had the taste, the smell were amazing.

With all that said I have no idea if any of these strains exist in my flowering tent right now it is entirely possible one of them did not make it as I only have 7 plants left of the original 13.

Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages? Arent they all just about Hybrids at this point unless your lucky enough to have an old cut.
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Flower
If in Veg... For how long? They were in veg for 3 weeks
If in Flower stage... For how long? 39 Days
Indoor or outdoor?Indoor
Soil or Hydro?Soil
If soil... what is in your mix? Base Mix of Sphagnum Peat Moss, EWC, Fish Compost, Rice Hulls, ammend with the meals, Kelp Crustacean,Neem, and Alfalfa and Oyster Shell Flour, Basalt, and Gypsum. Keep it pretty simple.
If soil... What size pot? I have some in 5, 3, and 2 Gallon smart pots whatever's clever.
Size of light? In the FLOWER tent a CX-4 Johnson Grow Light COB style and 300W LED (Platinum), kind of wanted to see what was what I have had the 300W light through two runs, but wanted to see what this other light could do and to this point it SURELY has not disappointed. In the VEG tent Mars Hydro 96x5 Reflector Series
Is it air-cooled?Yes, 3 fans rotating the air and a Panasonic Whisperline Ventilation Fan
Temp of Room/cab?75-79 in day and 67-71 at night.
RH of Room/cab?around 50%
PH of media or res?who knows
Any Pests ?some gnats here and there.
How often are you watering?Every other day
Type and strength of ferts used?Only thing I feed these baby are enzymes and saponins!! okay and many more things but you get this point.

I will post pictures throughout the next couple days to kind of catch up where I am at in the process at this point and then document for a couple months going forward.

20160407_211716.jpg Sorry I started a new job and got caught up but I have to say when it has come to efficiency, trichome coverage, and bud size so far I have not had a 200 watt light that has been equivalent to the Johnson Grow Light. Everyday I look as these beautiful weeds in their last days they are finishing up and getting just rock solid the smells and bag appeal looks are just coming together so nicely..so far definitely will be buying another Johnson as soon as flower is over, to replace the Platinum grow light that is in there. I will add more photos as plants finish up and give some more updates along the way20160404_221336.jpg 20160407_212329.jpg

This is a cx4 correct. Room 4x4. Went to website and they suggested it for a 2x2. Any input on that Seattle. Anyone else. Looks awesome

Yeah its a 3.8x3.8x7. I am actually doing a test run and if you look in the fuller pictures you can see the burple light on the right that is what I believe is your more run of the mill light like Mars or Platinum or Kind Led. Over on the left side of tent I have the CX-4. The difference i have seen is a tighter node structure. Increased tensil strength of stem, increased girth of bud size and trichome coverage and it is barely hitting my power bill. I truly believe I will be at 1.5 grams per watt or more which would be my best to date. I hate the measurement because it doesn't factor in time but nonetheless there you go. Hope that helps let me know if you have any other questions I certainly I highly recommend the CX-4 over the 4 other brands I have tried to date.

1.5 grams overall or the plants under the Cx. How can you tell running multiple lights side by side
 
Yeah i was consufsed at first I am saying since the light produces a little over 200 watts of power that I will produce 1.5 times that or a little over 500 grams. There are wayyyy too many variables to simply have that be a unit of measurement but seems to make sense to the community at hand.
