Overhead light is a Viparspectra 450… the side light is a little 16 watt LED.
Cricket light?
Day 43
She looked normal this morning. Today is day 3 since last watering, and I planned on watering tonight.
Opened the tent and…WTF
Some leaves laying on the soil…
Pathetic
Watered with 1 quart tap water + CalMag PH 6.7 PPM 250. 1st 80 ml runoff PH 6.0 PPM 1490. Then ran tap water only (slightly less than a quart) PH 7.0 PPM 210… The 4th and final 80 ml runoff was PH 6.7 PPM 930. This thing is driving me nuts. Hasn’t had nutes for 8 days.
2 hours later, she looks a little better…
I have mine setup with fairly easy drain soil / coco / castings…Things gets bone dry after 2 days. Might just water a lil more often and alls good:)
They are getting bigger and drinking faster. Cut that 3 day wait to 2 n a half. Or even 2. Scary as hell to find em wiltd. But a quick drink n
Soooo… I Googled “adjustable spinning Scrog kit”, and much to my surprise… there is no such thing. None for sale, no pictures of one…NOTHING.
I say bullshit, there has to be…
Now that’s using the ole noodle, great job!
I love the zip tie idea! I’m going to do that next time.
Day 46
I’m not sure if this spinning Scrog is a good idea or not. I definitely need a bigger tent for something like this. Cords and everything is out of the way and secured. Will have to keep an eye on it this weekend.
For now… around she goes…
Loving it!
Gearing up for flowering stage soon. Fedex just dropped off my new HLG 320 XW led light. The Driver with external dimmer will be installed outside of tent. @dbrn32 this is all your fault! Seriously, thanks for sharing your light knowledge!
Guilty as charged haha.
Day 47
Watered with 1qt. tap water only. Assembled the HLG 320 XW. I removed the Viparspectra 450, and put the HLG 320 inside set at 20" above canopy.
HLG is dimmed to 207 watts. (The light is more than I need now, but I plan to get a 36" x 36" or 40" x 40" tent in the future, and this light will be perfect)
Here’s how she looks today.
The 5 lb. Driver sits outside of the tent.
Let’s see what happens over the next few days…
My money is on
A. She gon LOVE the new sun
B. Ur gonna use a good but more nutes
C. Ur also gonna need that bigger tent ASAP
Happy growing n looking good man
Day 51
1st nute feeding in a long time. Slightly less than 2 qt of Gro/Micro/Bloom with CalMag +Silicon added . PH going in 6.7 & 1860 PPM. Runoff was PH 6.1 & PPM 2040. Just can’t seem to get the runoff PH close to 6.5 yet. She’s only had 7.0 PH tap water the last couple weeks… maybe I need to PH the water up to 7.5? Crazy.
I think it’s been 4 days since putting the QB light in. I dimmed light down to 127 watts the last couple days ( 207 watts appeared to be too much to start) turned the light up to 137 watts tonight. (For shits and giggles… I cranked up the light briefly, and it maxed out at 345 watts. Should have plenty of “flower power” if she makes it that far )
Day 53
Temp 77° RH 53%
Water day. 2 quarts of tap water with CalMag + Silicon. PH to 7.5 and PPM 530 going in. Runoff was PH 6.3 PPM 1470. Increased light to 145 watts.
Has grown a little the past week.
@moneypit Am I correct by saying your humidifier is outside the tent? Thinking that might be the best move for me too.
Yes humidifier is outside of the tent…BUT… I have a 700 ml diffuser inside the tent that I only use distilled water in. The little diffuser has been running 24/7 for 50+ days to help keep humidity up… it’s been a trooper.
7.5 is a little higher than I would usually apply regularly even when runoff is a little low. Low 6’s isn’t all that bad if she’s not continuing to trend down. If you don’t get to where you’re looking to be soon, try applying more water at ph7.
I think a lot of growers consider what I’m suggesting a mini flush. Rather than getting too far out of range with ph, just apply more water at more reasonable ph. So as to correct more by volume than range. If that makes sense?
