Flipperville has happened..great, now for the big show.

In another 45 mins I'll be heading to the room for lights on.

Since I did a res change last night, I'm very curious what the PH is tonight. I do not mix my nutes 24 hrs ahead of time.. I should start working on doing that!

 

[N.E.wguy]

i flipped on the 1st i just did the trim and removal of suspect males switching nutes for flower and gotta set up tent as they are 19" to 36" already

 

[N.E.wguy]

ya i leave my water for 24 hr b4 nutes then 24 hr b4 phing it i want to just add nutes now and then is 24 hr ph it

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Here's an update, sorry I didn't take time to edit pics.

My hydro is doing phenomenal and PH has only slightly risen. I will adjust it back down tomorrow most likely.

Going to be changing everything over to LED soon, so that should make things interesting. I just hope I don't get LESS than I do now. I'd like "as good as now" with less electricity and less fire hazard. I'll be getting 8x Mars II 400w's....4 for each tent. I run 4 spots with 18 gal totes in flowering, so each plant gets its own 400, plus any residual light from the other 3 being in a tent. I know it won't be much, as it's LED's, but still a pretty nifty thing.

Thanks PJ for the heads up there :aok:

Also, hey look.. rooting clones in Rockwool! My first try, woo hoo!!

Flowering #1 is at 5 weeks down, 3 to go.

looks nice, i like the clothes pin idea

 

[echO]

nice to meet you DGF and sweet set-up over there!



Your attention to detail is admirable!


Good luck on the height and the elbow rubbing

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

@N.Ewguy: Thank you :aok:

@echO: Cheers! I will keep the details plentiful, and the updates worthy of peoples time. Control over root zone is sooooo the biggest reason I went BACK to hydro.

See, I was banging out hydro wonderfully before, but switched thinking it was too much work. Which it was, I had to reinvent my setup. So, all reinvented now and stuff is p.h.e.n.o.m.e.n.a.l.!!

Longest? Like, how tall? I generally do 4" - 5" long cuts, and try to make my super sharp cut ON a node point. :aok:

 

[N.E.wguy]

cool thanks ya gonna try 5" on a node

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

LED's engaged!

Both flowering tents are good to go with full on LED style! 8x Mars II 400w (4 in each tent)
I tell you, this is already amazing. I have a much better ventilation system than ever before, and I believe these lights are rather quality. It's just good, quality LED's without the frills. No remote or built in timers or dim switch or even power button, and I do not need any of that. I just need these to do at least as good as I was doing, and so far I'm super impressed.

Heights from canopy: Varying, but around 24" or a little more. Will get em within 18" or less when possible, especially in the hydro tent that's going through stretch right now! And yeah, I know.. the yellowing on the stuff that has 3 weeks left is intense. No more soilless for me. Hydro is how I will go from here on out, I do believe. I may slightly dabble with organics in a 2x2

Here's some pics.

There's a shot of the old hoods sitting in a pile. I think, if I'm confident enough with these LED's after this run, I may just sell the 4 HPS setups. Recoup some money, and maybe help a fellow out along the way with a deal.
