BJ’s grow journal. Grow em and show em ✌🏻

Just got this email from Gorilla. :crossed_fingers:t2: the issue is actually fixed :upside_down_face: This is the most expensive light I ever purchased and the only one to ever give me issues

After receiving and inspecting your Xi750 driver, we have determined that a replacement is necessary. Great news: all of the new drivers that we currently have have been fixed of the bugs that caused the issue, and you shouldn’t have to worry about this happening again.

I apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused.

You should have confirmation in your inbox now. Please look it over to make sure I have the address correct.

Once the item leaves our facility, you will get a follow-up email with tracking information.

Thank you for working on this with me. I look forward to getting you growing again.

Hell to the yeah! I dig good customer service :flexed_biceps::+1::+1::victory_hand::love_you_gesture:

That’s why I pay so much for HLG

I hope this thing is fixed man! Sucks not knowing if your light is going to come back on after it turns off :zany_face: the Amazon light GrowDoc recommended is kicking butt though :+1:t2:

Mid week 7 update.

Splitting the plants up helped get the humidity down from 70% to 52% in each tent​:+1:t2: starting to see some colors come out

Platinum GSC and Pineapple Chunk




Dos Si Dos and Gorilla Glue. I just dialed this light down to 100% red and 50% white. I’m going to leave it there for a week then turn all the white lights off and run 100% red lights until harvest.

This grow seems like it’s been going all winter :rofl: we’re at the beginning of week 10 of flower, 4th week of the 11/13 light schedule. The Gorilla Glue is the closest to harvest but still has another week or two

Thanks brother!!! It’s definitely added some extra time to reach maturity but the plants didn’t stretch much at all the first few weeks of flower which is perfect for my setup :+1:t2: the buds are all dense AF! I’ve grown Dos Si Dos many times and this is going to be the biggest yield yet on probably the smallest plant in height. I’m digging it and will be running it my next grow too

I harvested the Pineapple Chunk and Platinum GSC today. It seemed like this grow was a lot longer than normal but the Pineapple Chunk only went 10 days longer than previous grows running 12/12 the entire flower cycle. It usually gets big and hard to manage in my small space but it his plant stayed small but the colas are stacked and heavy AF​:+1:t2: first time growing Platinum GSC so I have no reference

My Brother Them babies are gonna have some serious backbones! It’s amazing that T-5 is keeping them that squatty! :flexed_biceps::+1::+1::victory_hand::love_you_gesture:

Yea man! Thats why I like to use them when they’re young, then nodes stay tight :+1:t2: plus it’s 55 in my basement right now so I run the fixture 24hrs to keep the tent temperature in the mid 70’s

The little T-5 that comes with my propagation setup is a joke. I only use it for about 5 days

The new ones aren’t the same for sure lol this is the first fixture I ever bought. It has 4 52w T5’s and 2 150W HPS light. It’s like a f’ng heater man​:rofl: back in the day before I had kids and grew in tents I used it to grow in a spare bedroom and it would keep the room temperature around 90 even with the ac on…now I just run the T5’s for the first 1-2wks ….lights have came a LONG ways
