Gavita 750 de vs Led.. Do I even grow bro?
- Thread starter Fevs.
- Start date
Running auto's as I've had a property visit and want a quick return. I'm also starting some dna lemon skunks, cream mandarin fast version. Got Big buddha cheese and Barneys tangerine dream otw. Some afghan#1 germinating, some bubba kush too. Keeping the options open. Got no more auto seeds now.
Thanks @Brettman
I have invested heavily, so expect some proper good returns in terms of bud. I almost wish I only had 2 gavitas instead of 3 and one tent less, but shit happens
Running four 4ft x4ft tents is time consuming and tiring.I quite fancy growing 1 plant in each tent under a scrog net. That would help keep it simple.

Fluence Spyder 2i is 2.7, ChilLed X6 600w is 2.8 & HLG Scorpion Diablo is 2.9.
Been getting a bit sick of the work load recently. I have been doing things now for the future. Got 3 cream mandarins veg'n in 5 gallon air pots since yesterday. I intend to grow them out in three 4ft x4ft tents. Just 1 plant in each.
Also got the 3 dna lemon skunks in 3 gallon air pots. Likely I'll grow them out in the same tent under led.
2 autoflowers in 3 gallon pots. Will grow them together.
I've just set up another tent, even though I'm getting tired of the workload
A 1m x 1m tent with four cree cobs. two 2700k and two 3500k.
Don't mind having lots of tents, but don't want more than 1 or 2 in each tent. Then it's easy for me to feed them without it taking so long.

I realise here someone is going to say, "well you can't have the same res for that many different strains." Well.. yes.. you can. You use the same base tank for everything, and if any one of them is crazy hungry for calmag you feed it seperately, on top of its normal feed.

What are you using for an intake at the bottom of your tent thats looks awesome.This journal may contain flashing images, scenes of a sexual nature, people that jack off to led stats sheets that get upset easily, violence, mature themes and bad language
I stepped on a few led growers toes last week in my own thread and got called outDo you even grow bro?
Ok here is my set up so far and the bits and pieces I'm using and what I'm going to be growing from tmrw when my seeds pop.
I will be growing in a four 4ft x4ft tents and 2 small set ups. Though there is currently a shortage, so I only have 2. That's ok for now.
Strains I'm growing are all autoflowers. Sweet seeds Fast bud#2, Trainwreck and Cream Mandarin, also World of Seeds Afghan Kush ryder.
I'm going to be running two 4x4 tents with a Gavita 6/750de flex in each.
I'm running 4 led set up's. Two 4ft x4ft tents.
One with four 100w cree cobs (same as optic 1 xl) dimmable. 2 in 2700k and 2 in 3500k.
Next tent will be 4 x Sanlight q3wl leds. 120w each. High end Osam leds which grow really nice bud.
Got a little veg tent which I will grow up to 4 plants in small pots. Gn Telos 180w led with optic 1 54w cob 3500k. That area is probably 50cm x 90cm.
Also my old grow drobe. Time to fire this bitch up again, it's been years honestly. Maybe 5 years since I used it. This will grow 1 Afghan Kush ryder under the optic 1xl, in a 12 litre air pot.
No plants are in yet, but they will soon be. They have the perfect environment to start.
Got sixteen 12 litre hempy buckets. Pure perlite up to the hole, then 75%coco and 25% perlite mix.
All the auto's already in their final pot.
Nutes I will be using plant magic magnecal+, CX regen-a-root and Canna Coco a&b, Canna ph down.
No air con, No heaters. Don't monitor humidity or temperature or any of that shit. Once the set ups are up I will spend 20-30 minutes per day feeding the girls, then ignoring them. I make my flat like Spain - then grow mostly Spanish auto's

The secret jardin rev 4 tents some with them. You have to cut your own holes though.
I have 7 tents in 3 different rooms. Just Not possible to drip feed them with 1 res. I would prefer to hand water 1 plant in each set up.
Top floor flat. I use coco. I used to grow in soil, but prefer the speed of growth and yield in coco.

So I'll make it 2 good one's! Decided to add a pk booster yesterday. pk9/18. Also bought a bottle of bio bizz alg-a-mic. Which is proper sea weed nutes.
It's organic, but the plants were praying like fuck. I have no idea if it will be helpful or not. Maybe. Just the plants looked so happy almost instantly. Maybe it was the pk? lol
Anyway alg-a-mic is brilliant for spraying the leaves with, so may use it for the veg tent.
I have changed from 750w to 600w in the afghan kush ryder tent. See how they go. Signs of heat stress. I may even dim to 500w or change them to a cool running led tent.
The other 4ft tents have the same extractor fans and same lights, both on 750w. No signs of heat stress. I won't hesitate to run them under led if needs be.

Afghan Kush ryder day 45 from seed. 3 plants in here now, not 4. I have opened up a very nice looking plant which now has many tops. Little bit more room for the other 2 in here also.
I think that plant has loved being opened up. When I looked today she was looking real happy. Not droopy from stress.
The 4th plant from in there suffers from heat stress, so I have removed her to her own tent under four cobs running about 75w each.
Also tied her corner branches to the edges. really opened her up like a tin of baked beans 1m x 1m tent
Occasionally you get an auto that always looks like it's drying out, even though it 's fed the same as the happy ones. I'm looking at this as a bit of a challenge. Gave her a low ppm big feed today to get her drinking again. Fuck loads of run off on all my plants today.
Sweet Seeds Trainwreck auto day 45 from seed. Happy ladies in here
