Club 315w lec

Exactly.
I just have the added complication of probation for stupid mistake, not involving any drugs, over a decade ago. I did my jail time, and have come leaps and bounds in my way of life, financial stability like never before, college degree, trade school for electrical work as well, and I complete every class they put me through.

Things are winding down. The monster blueberry is hanging and lil sister is here finishing off. The sugar leaves on the first blueberry were so covered in tricomes i made brownies directly. Best brownies to date. Lol. Best brownies to date..... did i already say that..... lol keep on rockin in the weed world.

Updates on my critical kush 3x3’s the one under the 4100 Phillips seem to be smaller buds and might take a few extra days to finish compared to the 3100k tent. Like I said before I guess it’s not a true side by side because I have 4 plants in the 3100k tent and 5 in the 4100k tent.

They are on day 59, I swear this strain confuses me sometimes she is ready at or before 65 days and sometimes it takes 75 days to really finish filling out and get done. They are on on the flush now and look like will be ready soon.

Here are some pics it’s hard to get a good pic with lights o gonna try to catch them right before they come on tonight.
3100k tent

4100k tent

Random bud shot not sure from which tent oops lol


This strain has been my daily smoke for over a year I have plenty of others to choose from but this one has been my go to.

I'm finishing up my first grow to completion. Dual bulb 630w cmh, 4200k, 5x5 tent, Grandaddy Purple clones in 3 gallon coco, and Canna nutrients . I kept hearing it's normal for first grow to be about half gram per watt, but fuck that.
Glad to report final weigh in comes in at 437g. Not perfect, I had to learn alot beforehand, learned a ton on the fly while it was going, some heat and feeding schedule issues here and there......but I'll definitely call this batch of heaven a success. Some purple, but all covered in crystals

Oh yeah! And the reason for those 2 particular pics? What is in my bowl as I write this. Happy Smoking!

Very impressive first grow, I could only wish my first grow looked so good. It was a terrible mess that should have been thrown away but we smoked it anyways, honestly could have bought Mexican swag as good. I had no clue what I was doing. That was back in the day before I knew about forums and all the info on the net I had to actually go buy a real book lol.

I said yesterday would try to get a shot of tent with lights off I only got the 4100 side before they came on here it is.

Nice looking buds there for sure!

Man blueberry is slow on the flower. Its sooo worth it but slow. This pheno is tiny and has nice curly leaves. Its frosin up nice. Delecate flowers and what a great smell. I thinned it out and my whole hand was sticky afterwards. Her sister is cured and man its an eye dryin knuckle sandwich of a buzz. Lol i think the 315 cmh 3100 is the definitive closet light. Its produced plant after plant with no issues. Man i love that light.

Now thats pretty buds!

These girls are 41 days from the flip both tents are critical kush from clone. The tent with the yo-yos is the 4200k Phillips and the double trellis is the 3100k Phillips. They will both get leave stripped again today on day 42. Thinking these should be my best yield off the 315’s but we shall see. Still getting those lines in my pics as you see but plants loving life so I’m not too worried about it.

11.5 zips from the 3100k side and a lil over 12 from 4100k side. The 4100k side had 5 plants vs the 4 in the other side. The tent with 4 actually looked to be the bigger yielder cause buds were bigger but the other tent with 5 came out on top by a little bit. I'm happy with results that's the first time I've broken a gram per watt and was able to do with both tents this round. I was stuck in the .8 grams per watts area for a a while.

Apalchen, how many watts did you have? I don't remember which cmh you had either. Short term memory loss

I did 6 under a 630w dual bulb cmh, and did better than average for first ever grow with 15.7oz. I was pretty good with it. I'm the guy with the purple bud pics in this thread. When I get to do it again tho, I'm going with 4 plants per 630w instead of 6. Things got too crowded and I think more watts per plant is a good practice to have.ill probably go from a 5x5 to a 4x8 tent, and add another light same as now.

I had two 3x3 tents each one with one 315 one tent was 3100 bulb the other was 4200 bulb

I did a 4x8 with 2 air cooled double ended 630 and only got 2 pounds. It was summer and was trying to drop wattage, I counted it as a fail as I usually hit 3 or more from a 4x8. I ended up with 2 600hps and 1 de 630 in the middle to get my yields back up. Would have run 2 630 and one hps but those de ballast I originally ordered are junk.(both quit working had to order a growers choice ballast for the next run.)

Proper planning prevents piss poor performance

Replacing timber 400 cobs with sun system cmh 315 lec in 4 x 4. Running cobs at 360 watts.

How will temperatures be affected by the new light? 6" inline fan pumps air through tent into a small room with door open to ac.

I run my 2 Ballas outside of the tent, I just replaced one of my nanolux ballast with I can't remember the name of it, but the new ballasts is 40° hotter than the nanolux. I'm considering returning this new ballast and buying me another nanolux if I can find one without the reflector own it as I don't need the reflector.

cobs have heat damage and I have a feeling that the spectrum is screwed up because of the damage.
