modular overkill led striplight build

Very healthy looking plants!

Amazing Cobby!
Text Book grow.

time for a update, all is working well, no complains from my side.

5 weeks in.

235W 3200K and 660nm plus the buddies, i enabled the 4000K also to fill the outer edges better with some light.
i cant go higher with the fixture, it looks further away on the pic then it is in real, its 3 inches max to the tops.

smaller tent is well too.


185W 3200K and 660nm

just a observation.
plant posture is nice, no complains.

but i think 850ppfd (reading taken right next to this top), are enough at this stage.

the plant is showing it to me with these serated edges.

its not too dry or hot for sure, beeing never below 50% and seldon reaching 24C.
all is fine, just thought i share this observation.

Show off!.... lol
Looks great in there.
My dehumidifier seems to be doing it's job. I noticed my hut plants are yellowing a bit so I gave them a good feed of Tomatorite 1.4 ec.
Got some yellow leaves with purple/red on the fans. Probably caused by cold lights off temperature and nute uptake.
I can't complain on lights on temps ~ 29°C

Lots of vague info on the UVB. I might try it on the next round. I might have to get a digital timer with minute increments as I don't wanna kill the plants. Maybe 15mins at 300mm away would be too strong.
My mate thought his plants were stickier and more smelly when he used them but they were about 18 - 20" away as he was running hlg 650r and 550's in the tent.
He was sayn he would lend me the 650r to try if I want. I think he says it dimms to ~ 60 watts.
Nice spectrum too

thanks mo.
cold nights arent good for sure.
i did had problems with P last run with plain soil, this time there is the worm castings and the charged charcoal plus i went heavier with the bat guano.
seems they can take some tablespoons guano easily late stretch, begiinig of stretch i gave some 5-3-7 organic fert pellets.
i dont hesitate to give bottled organic vinasse based fertilizer in flower.
just gave some a few days ago in the bigger tent as i think they where running out of K.

the dehumidifer do the trick for me too, set to 55% and there is no rot anymore, at least so far, this time my tents are quite dense packed. and running 2 tents at the same time is making him work hard.

lets see what you report from your UVB gorillas, you can prob get a generic digital timer for cheap at a local home depot, well you know for sure, that shouldnt stop you.
looks like the 650r is using some 4000 or 5000k leds or dedicated blue monos, quite a bit of blue there, why not it will work.

all is happy in the tents.
havent changed anything since last time.
have to raise te light here and there as thyre still shooting.



the bigger tent is doing well too.
the do sweet dos cut used here isnt the biggest yielder, it still performs quite nice and smells so lovely.


nice frost development so far, uppest leaves get a bit toasted by the intensity, otherwise all is great.

deleafed the smaller tent a bit today.

not that much, but wanted the lower budsites more exposed to light somehow.

buds in the bigger tent developing well, really no complains, i may grow her again.

Coming along beautifully, Cob

thanks, yea this round seems to be good.
the do sweet dos develops better then expected.

bigger tent producing nice buds, beeing beginning of week 8.


pretty easy grow with the soil and the organic fertilizer used so far.
they stood the light quite well, tops are at over 1200ppfd, lowest tops are still 700.
fixture is too close 2-3 inches to some tops, these girls made some impressive growth spurt.
its just 240W from the mainlight diodes plus some watts for the buddies used.
smell is awesome, really love them for this and are happy they can produce, organics can perform very well btw.



smaller tent doing great too, tops are 800-950ppfd from 200W of the mainlight.

overall theyre taking more light in this peat, perlite, vermiculite, ewc mix then they did in my prevoius trials.
temps maxed out at pretty much 24C this grow, its winter hard to go above that here, while i didnt had the feeling they where suffering from it.

Still doing your thing my friend,.....Love it

Experience matters, like I always said. Humans are adaptive, just takes some time

so far all well.
tent is showing some fall colors beginning week 9.
bigger tent is ripening quite early, mother had been the same, relative quick finisher.


bud development is nice.

frosty and stinky.




smaller tent is on track too, having quite some weeks to go.

its more spicy, herbal, "church", its good stuff, but personally want it a bit sweeter.
this one is flowering long, compared to her sister, shes also swelling more in the end normally.

the squaremeter tent is at day 65 now.
this pheno was the quickest finishing, breeder say 70% indica and 8-9 weeks.
prob a week more, there are still fresh white pistils, but guess thats foxtailing due to the light.

could be more then a pound.

i really like the bud structure and smell of it.


smaller tent is well too, will be less then a pound, have quite some time to go, 47 days on 12/12 or such.

Awesome. Your foxtails look good and "full", so nothing to worry about imo. Should be a great yield in the 1*1m.

thanks, yes should be fine, not worried.
there is lots of cookies in the lineage and shes overall a bit foxtaily.
have no problem with it, looks good to me in the bag.

theyre pretty ripe.
still throwing white pisitils, bit unatural, havent dimmed the light, guess its related.
they see 1200ppfd where they still throw psitils, leds are very close, maybe 6cm.
amber is clearly settng in.




smells great.
will harvest very soon.
normally i simply cut the stem and leave them in the tent till it dried a bit, heyre hold by the net .

smaller tent is a few weeks behind, would had hoped for a bit bigger buds and i dont like the smell profile that much of the pheno below.... will be fine.

yield had been a good 600g very nice quality buds on the square meter, space had been really maxed out.
power usage had been below 300w max even with the buddies used.

result for the smaller tent is 540g, which is really good for 200W.

describes the times well... from 2016
