Here's my first time grow so far. I'm working with what I can afford. I'll post more pics as replies. Built a 4x8x7 mylar lined tent. I have no idea what I'm doing but they look good to me so far. I know all the MG negativity and risks. I'll make it work for now and adjust ratio later by using stronger pk fertilizer. I put these right into MG veg & herb moisture control 3 month feed 1.5 sq. ft. Bag, 1/3 GIANT bag peat moss, 4 lb. perlite. I lightly spread composted manure mix over the top so I'll seep in with watering. I fertilized once with MG purple box npk 30-10-10 at 1/2 strength and only have them about 3 ounces of the water each.
These are 23 days in, the little guys are 3 weeks behind because I thought two died. However the biggest of the little ones I pulled because it wilted and threw it to the side. It was buried but fought back and appeared out of nowhere about a week later. Tough little sucker after all I see, lol. I do plan on LST these once they get tall enough to tie down. Probably lose some as male but if not than 3 will be going outside in May.
I have seeds from three strains I got out of pound bags. They are all mixed up so I have no idea what is actually growing. It is either Gorilla Glue, forbidden fruit or passion fruit.
I ran a furnace duct for heat and it stays between 75-80*f, small heater in there just in case, run humidifier on low. Covered all these rogue leds with tape.
I'd like advice on my current lights if anyone could help. I don't know what my lights actually put out in wattage but I have a lot of information on what they are
They are lights that I picked up at a scrap yard. They are industrial, more than likely used as street, parking garage or stadium lights. High end CREE XPG 5k led panels. Each led diode is 5w max. There are 60 leds per panel driven by 4 drivers. I put 3 panels on each heat sink so 180 leds and 12 drivers. These are extremely bright and I'm reading about 1600 PPFD with Photon on a galaxy s10e at 12 in. I have 2 of these but only Run one at the moment. Hopefully someone could inform me what the actual wattage it is running at.
Look forward to how Ya'll think they look so far.
