Girls got a leaf pruning yesterday, looking pretty…
Test completed…
Added some extra A+B, the pH was at 5 so I tried 1ml of silicon, made .1 difference, so dropped in 10 ml, pH now at 6, ppm at 660.
Happy shot!
Upping the game as I am running a 2-year-old FCE-4800, it’s a good light though I think more is needed.
So @Low
Should do the job…
Sorry I’m late bro. Yes, In my personal opinion the 4800 is more suitable for 3x3 only because of the drop off. If you are trying to max your coverage with the potential of prolonging the fixture life, that bump up would be doing you a favor.
I know my 5x5 is a bit big for it…
Now near enough to three weeks after flip and these girls are blooming nicely…
Tested the pH today and spot on 6, nice, they have needed about a gallon or two of water every day.
They look so happy, you are doing a great job over there!
Checked the pH and holding steady at 6 and with nothing but more water and a slight leaf trim, these girls are looking sexy!
Week 5 after flip and it smells like…
Have given them a small dose of Go Green (cal/mag with iron and boron) and 5mls of pH up (silicon)
They seem to be maturing fast and getting frosty.
Looking fantastic bro 
Week 6 after flip…
Topping up totes with two litres of water per day, nothing else apart from 10mls of silicon as pH up. Totes at 900 to 990 ppm depending on tote levels.
Gallery…
Morning all…
Week 7 after flipping, a litre or two of water for the totes per day pH has been drifting down, corrected with silica, ppms now down to 840.
It’s flipping Friday, week 8 after flip and these girls are maturing fast, perhaps only a week or so to go, cherry pie does have a 8 to 10 week flower.
Anyhoo nothing but water and they are using about half of what they were a week ago, pH is at a steady 6.0 and ppms at 900 or thereabouts.
Thats quite pretty.
Almost week 9 after flip and they are almost done, I will give them another two or three days is my thinking?
Those buds look great:metal:
