Hey guys I'm back, this time started using the sgs-160 panels from seed and a couple clones. With that said im on day 24 from germination (bigger clone day 28 smaller clone day 14), all plants have been topped (besides royal purple kush) wanted to skip the boring stuff (in my opinion). I have now weeded out (no pun intended lol) all the weak looking seedlings as i want to keep the best for genetics. In my 4x4ft tent I have two panels now on full power mode 30" above canopy for 4 plants from seed = 2 white kush and 2 royal purple kush all in 1 gal smart pots.

In my bigger veg area 5x7ft (not fully utilized yet) I have four panels on full power mode 36" above canopy for now with 7 plants = 2 clones, 1 strawberries n cream and 1 white russian, 5 from seed 1 original sour diesel, 2 purple paralysis, 2 cbd crew critical mass all in super air root pots 3.6 gal

Look like a lot of people have a lot of faith in just one zip tie to hold things. I always use more than I think I need. Sure one will probably hold just fine but over time plastic gets weaker and weaker. I always use at least two just in case one is weak from the start. I've had them fail before so I don't take those risks anymore. If one is good then two is better and three is peace of mind. Plus they are dirt cheap even for good ones.

Was'up? You know I'm in.

If I were to buy a commercial fixture A51 would be high on my short list. 4 should be kick ass!

Don't prejudge 'runts'

Out of 4 clones these 2 were literally 1/4 the size of the 2 that went into my HOT5 tent

Welcome HrilL , yea it is actually temporary until i get maybe a chain or something a lil more stable, but for now they seem fine as these panels aren't too heavy

Dj I like how you have the ceiling open. You can make the light flushed in the ceiling if need be

It's not open any more, you may also notice it didn't have a floor either. I was going to hinge the roof, and I still might. I see a few tweaks happening to this rig before the next run.

My light is not currently capable of going higher on that setup, the cooling fans/panel are 3.5-4" from the face of the top panel.

Subbed Up Brother Cola.How Big Is Your Tent With The 2 Sgs-160's?
The tent is 4x4ft, considering the panels are capable of 2x3 each, side by side the way they are that would be 4x3ft covered thinking of getting something for that 1ft strip but ehhh might not need it.

So guys n gals if any lol, i have a slight issue on my hands...I loved using canna coco a+b and like curious george im trying out blue planet nutrients organic 3 part (farmers pride). Things were on the up and up but i never used organics before and have been using a ph of 5.8-5.9 because I'm still using a coco/peat soiless medium, but I wonder if i should be ph to 6.5-7 like normal organic runs?? Whats happening is light new growth and some burning , burning idk... i have been using less than what the bottle says because i like to feed every watering and always read its more tough to nute burn with organics but that doesnt seem to be the case here. Any info would help greatly and ill answer any questions. Its tough to get a pic that really shows whats going on so in the best explanation my plants new growth is a lime green and lower leaves are getting brown at the tips and curling

I have always wondered about how to successfully run organic nutes in coco but never had the balls to try it.
The best bud I have ever seen came from coco with canna A+B. My buddies it that down, any thing they run with it comes out top shelf. Never too late to go back.

This is true, i had greeaaaat success many times with canna a+b testing at 21% with a strain or two...just couldn't resist the urge to try organic. I have prob over a gallon of canna a+b left so going back won't be an issue but I'm going to tough it out and fine tune this organic thing!
