Plasma and 1000w grow

More pics. the white lighted plants is obviously the plasma. Everything else is under LED's. The LSD is lagging a little (especially the ones on the far right), Wall-E is a beast, and everything else is about right.

Lookin great man!

Definately the biggest led grow I've seen. I think the plasmas gonna kill it.

Yea, I'm really liking the plasma more and more. Since the reservoir's under the plasma are smaller, I've had some ppm spike issues. I've had one time where my PPM wouldn't even read (2000+) and a couple where they've been over 1500. The girls only got a little bit of burn on the tips. I was in shock when I looked at how healthy they were despite the PPM being off the charts. Currently, I'm running them at 800 to try and remove some of the excess from the plants. I'll be back on regular 1200 after next res change in a few days.

I would stick with 800 until you find the rez go to 750 or less. Then you should bring it up slowly. Let the plants tell you through the rez how much their eating and what they need. They already told you that you were giving them much too much when they drank all that water but left the nutes and your ppm was off the charts. Underfeeding is easily corrected. Overfeeding is not and will decrease your yields.

The best growers I see use very little nutes. Less is more!

More pics. The girls under the plasma are starting to fill out. Wall-E looks good and the LSD is finally catching up. The stuff on the side is still a little slow and I think that might be due to me FIMing a couple of those girls. They're catching up though.

pics 7,13, and 15 are the plasma. I thought more made it past my completely shitty quality measure than this but oh well. They look good. One of the girls is about 3" from the light and is having no problems.

Edit: Pic 2 is also plasma.

Hey man not sure how far off your plants you're running your GLH's but Mike has some new height recommendations.

That'll take you to the post I copied from Mike from another site.

Nice looking grow too! Maybe once it gets cold outside you can do more HPS comparisons cause you'll need the heat off it!

Yea, I've moved them up. They're 12-14" over the tops of the LSD and 18-26" over the rest. I'm probably going to move them back up again although I'm running out of room to move them up.

WRT the 1k, I don't know if I'm going to put it back up. I get a better footprint with these smaller panels and the heat is easy to deal with. I have a shit ton of insulation in my shed. My buddy was working home rehabs as part of the stimulus package and his company was dropping the contract which meant he was going to be out of a job so he grabbed me about $600 worth of shit. I have rolls of pink stuff behind the insulation board. Even when it's over a 100 here, I can keep it 5-7 degrees cooler than ambient without A/C. With A/C I can keep it under 90.

I'm still deciding if I want to grab another LED or another plasma. I have a the perfect amount of room left to fit one in there.

Plasma definately.

Ha damn its a tough decision huh? I guess I'd lean towards plasma too

Yea, and that's kind of where I'm leaning but still not 100%.

Looking good my friend, i say. Both!!! xD

More pics, more pics. Will take a minute to figure out how they sorted as they uploaded but if the wall is closer on the left they're under the plasma. If you see a grey light fixture, that's the plasma. Everything else is LED.

Pics 1-5, 7,11-14 are plasma.

The LSD is really starting to come on. That bitch has strectched like a motherfucker (almost 4x height at start of 12/12). The laggers on the right are either starting to shoot off pistils or looking like anyday they'll have them.

Picture time. Girls are moving along nicely. Wall-E is throwing off a shitload of new pistils. I thought she would be ready to chop now but she still has at least another week. LSD in the middle tube is doing fantastic. They keep stretching up to the the LEDs. All the LSD have at least quadrupled since starting 12/12. I can't really move them up anymore but the ones that are stretching to it look great so I'm just going to let them go and see what happens.

The plasma girls are really coming along now too. The big band plants are looking great. One has grown past the light and is going to throw off a monster bud.

I think the temps are fucking with them a little bit. We're in a severe drought and heat streak so eventhough it only gets up to 90 and I can definitely tell it is slowing them down. I can't wait until the next go round when the heat won't be a factor.

pics 1,3-5,15,16,18,19,20 are plasma all others are led.

Lookin good as always

Yeah these summers are motherfuckers man. But winteers coming.

Thanks man. And this state doesn't get much of what I would call winter. I'm originally from the midwest so I'm used to real winters. Here it is either hot or not hot.

Not exactly 7 days but I was bored so here's some more pics.

1,6, 9, 12-15, 18, and 22 are plasma.

The LSD are really starting to fill in. I'm going to get a few really good tops off of them. The two tops that have stretched right up to the LED are looking good. A little slow (as well as the ones on the far right) but coming along.

The plasma plants are starting to look fantastic. I got 2 of them that should be finished in the next couple of days and the rest probably have anywhere from a week to 2 weeks left.
