Starting into flower and thought I'd share some insight on my growing. Been a few runs since I've done a scrog. I do mine slightly unorthodox being as I do NOT top or FIM but replace it with branching Monstercropped clones. Lets get this cooking..

Indoor Grow in converted wardrobe cabinet. Inside dimensions are 35"w x 20"d x 70"h.

Plants- 4x Grand Daddy Purple
Medium- Fox Farm Ocean Forrest Soil
with Perlite and Garden Lime. In 4
gallon pots.
Nutes- FF Soil Trio, CalMag, Mollasses
Suggestions on Nutes Please :) I like
FF Trio but would like to try something better other than supersoils.
Lights- ViparSpectra 300w,(about 134w actual) 2x Roleadro 300w 2nd Gen. (About 125w each actual) 4x 23w
3000k LED bulbs. Currently have Vipar
at 20", Roleadro's 18" and, Bulbs 14"
above canopy.

Flipped on Jan. 20th to 12-12 lights. I run them 7:30pm to 7:30am. 4 days after lollipopn' them. Had a work thing come up and had to delay the switch to flower. The screen is VERY full. A nice sea of tops but tricky to get them interwoven between themselves under the net. There is 88 square's and will look forward about 2x-3x that in tops. We will see if they can handle :mrgreen:

If my math is right your running around 100 watts per sq ft?

With ~480~ watts that sounds like it will be a hot area but if it stays cool enough should be amazing flowers.

Yes, I was thinking that too. However I had moved the cabinet into a cooler part of the home and first two days with all lights on it only maxed at 80*. Still warm so I will work a bit on getting temps right. Especially with a purple strain. The room has a nice breeze with Windows and it gets cold at night in my area right now so can offset any issues with lowering the ambient temperature in the room. The bulbs basically will be used as additional supplemental lighting when/where needed.

Sorry i forgot to address your nutes question.. i cant say enough good things about the supernatural nutrients. Ive tried so many kinds, and i think out of all ive tried these are my fav. They are pretty cheap, last a long time, and work really well. I also use liquid kelp from about any brand. I always used to use mollasses but it just hasnt felt needed, everything is dripping with resin so why get extra hassles an encourage gnats.

The directions call for only using 1 time per 2 weeks and thats pretty dang accurate, unless your watering very frequently or not frequently at all in that case its closer to feed water water feed water water. In flower its more like feed water feed water, adjust as indicated by leaf color.
