Pardon me for being too lazy to read back through the thread, but what strain are you running?
Dinafem Critical+ 2.0 feminized
Apparently from what I could find about them, ppl say they finish as advertised . Which is 49 days (7weeks!).

Maybe far red + 11.5h/12.5h schedule will shorten that few days. Will see.

18 seeds of the same strain are being soked now.

It's a very productive dinafem strain. I like their Dinachem and their White Sibirian both are strong and productive.
Moby Dick is a high yielder too but I've not tried it yet. I like Dinafem they established themselves pretty fast and consistently deliver good quality strains at acceptable prices. No fancy 150$ strains like from Sensi... but consistent good quality.

I hear almost nothing negative about Dinafem. They're high on my list for next breeder I try. Really been loving HSO's gear though!

Yea, their Amnesia variant is also a nice strain worth a try.
Had it already three times in my box and always the results were comparably.
One of the few seedbanks who produce only for themselves. As far as I know they also worked in the seed business before the founding of Dinafem and they have produced seeds as a kind of service provider for other seedbanks.

I was preparing small tent for the next round yesterday.
Moved the strips closer to the edges to even out the spread and did a small environment control unit that will keep steady temps and humidity :)

Seeds are going in the dirt today. Ok Will see how they start on lightmix from biobizz under those lights. I wasn't too happy how they did in coco last run.

I don't like coco because of poor buffering. That's the point of using a substrate in the first place, after all.

I suggest Tupur Royal Gold; it has lots of charcoal for buffering both pH and EC and it works very well.

I've tried getting it from my local grow stores but none of them stock it or even heard of it so I'm left with soil for the seedlings and coco rest of the grow.
If I ever get that around I'll definitely give it a go.

Look around for a charcoal based soil amendment. You can mix it with your coco for similar results.

Bacteria and myco's can also help to stabilize the PH and they protect the roots from stress. Some worm compost can also help to innoculate the coco with the right micro flora. You mentioned MycorrS13 a few pages back, pretty sure it would work very well with coco.
TerraPreta is a bio-charcoal and shit based product that the Incas used to turn their feces into a perfect fertilizer. You can simply add some organic charcoal yourself. Its huge surface provides bacteria and myco's excellent conditions.

They got a fair amount of myccor this round and it definitely helped. I'm sure that's the reason they withstood EC that high.

Day 38

Will have to start checking them , under the magnifying glass as they are almost there. Some of them (middle upper level) are started fading already.

Thank you for the reply, i have one more question i new to led ligting and growing actually lol so still learning.

You said in the post you are using 16x samsung f-series on 2x 320h-48a.that strips does 1.12A per strip and if i count that up then it is 17.92A total and the 2 drivers only put out 6.7A per driver, that makes it a total of 13.4A are those 2 drivers enough to run those 16 strips? And are you putting 8 strips per driver?

Thank You

8 strips per driver, driven parallel, so 6.7A/ 8 strips = 0.8375A per strip.
