    Side lighting

    I'm gonna get some ppfd #s tonight. Unfortunately all I got is the photone app on my phone so that's all I got to go by. I'm kinda interested in seeing how much it effects the #s too with the light being so low. Before I was getting around 450 ppfd to the top of the plant after bumping up top...

    Side lighting

    Just thought I'd post some updates. Plants are chugging along smoothly. Ph 5.8 in the res. 1500 ppm per feed schedule from athena. Roots at the bottom are exploding out the fabric pots. They're basically tapping the water on the wicking bases. I think the stretch was a bit more this round being...

    5 years without growing

    Got my side lights up about 6 days ago and flipped to flower. Here's a couple progression pics. Rdj bouns 720 watt cut up and set to 25%. Each strip puts out about 30 watts at this setting. My Evo 8 is currently set to 6 on the ac infinity app. That puts me a little over 600 watts. Ppfd right...

    I always found vertical growing pretty cool. I had cool tubes back in the day and never ran them vertical but bought them to intend to.

    Side lighting

    Ya that's something I'll definitely be watching for. My plan is to add another net once the stretch is over and train everything accordingly. Also I ran these strains last round so I kinda already how much they should go hopefully haha

    Side lighting

    Got my sidelights up and switched to flower. Overkill?? I don't see why not. I turned down my upper light to about half. My sides are about 30 watts per strip. I'm gonna ramp up over time but they look happy as of now. Upper light is a ac infinity evo 8 and side lighting is a rdj bouns 720 cut up.

    And here is the new ones today. Running same strains. Ended up going coco this round with athena pro nutrients. Also I want to cut up my rdj bouns 720 and add it in my tent for side lighting to get a more even coverage. I figured it would add 60 watts per side on lower settings and it would...

    I did mine lower on the side. It's gonna be on a folding table and the pressure valve that stops the bases from overflowing will be on another box right below it.

    Spider Farmer Self Watering (wick) System - Anyone Use? Hot Tips?

    I have these bases and have run into a couple problems. One the reservoir outlet is about 5 inches off the bottom leaving about 3 or 4 gallons of water or nutes unused. Second since I'm running coco my water ph rises so I'm cautious about letting the water run constantly. Have been monitoring...

    5 years without growing

    The title says it all. 5+ years ago I gave it all up. The lights, co2 mini split everything gone. My collection of strains lost forever. Finally after 5 years I'm back yall. Growing for me served its purpose at the time. As a college student Growing paid My way through school. Now I'm a full...
