Yoooooooooo Getting ready to start a new grow its not my first but i'm sure it will be my best. I have always had issues with yields i never seemed to get what everyone else claimed to get. This time i'm all in, my equipment is below chime in with any questions or concerns comments etc... Be gentle LOL I used a 600w HPS in a 4x4 in the past and never got anything more than may 6 oz at the most and never in 60-70 days Lighting 4 QB96's V2 Drivers with Heat sinks Power 4 HLG-320h-54a Hydro 5g Buckets 28G reservoir Plants 4 ( I have various old school strains) Nutes GH 3 part ( suggestions big time) cal-mag thats the basics, Pics coming soon....
I'm gonna drag up a chair and watch. @trojangrower @Soil2Coco @Gelato41 Hey reckon U guys can watch and throw out a tip every now and then
I’ve never watched a full season. I’ll watch the highlights every once n awhile and be here for the Super Bowl.
what!? I been so enjoying this heh heh... ok. @OldRoot you need to start a journal. Call on some of us to join you there, I will come when I can. I'm not reading anything of yours until its in your journal. I Love you. Now Love me back This sativa ROCKS!!! HD, come critique my buds lol. Happy New Years soon sooo on it!
lol I seriously thought this was HD's thread you got a good list already @OldRoot , but I'd add some beneficial organisms and some silica. Also, some good information is here QB96ELITE V2 ***No BS, information only*** 3-part eh... I got good success with good ole 3 part, but i want to try lucas formula one day too. whatcha doing with the 5 buckets. I'd grow one or two plants in that space, but everyone already knows that.
Thanks everyone it's a long ride, so come visit when ya can.... and please tell me of these beneficial organisms and silica you speak of! Lol
unless u just run two plants off one res... best just one bucket and one cooler. u should use bennies. u need a cooler too. hydro done @ 68F, even colder for some systems. Beneficial microbes, I've spend money on, but have successfully used the cheaper stuff... well...
this I get for cheap and its a wettable powder and has like 18 strains of mycorrhizae. The other stuff I use is more expensive, most people jsut use hydroguard, or gff or whatever that is. I'm a Canuck, so some of that stuff is restricted or just stupid expensive. I'm also on the fence about 'switch the res after a week'. idk about that anymore. I added some stones to keep the bennies in the res, these things, but just a few pieces of lavarock/pummice would have been much cheaper and worked prob the same.
You only need 1 320h-54A driver to power two qb 96 v2s. I think I will follow this journal. Just had my first successful indoor grow. Did a couple seasons outdoors and did ok. Anyways check out the hlg saber 100s I use them with my qb 96s.
this rig works really good. one bucket, and one cooler. Fill a 4x4 really fast. but I'm also just finishing up on a similar method without sprayers and results are pretty nice; better than the coco plants, and way better than the 'powergrower'.
I didn't know the aquarium needed it too lol. maybe that's why mold grew out of that fishes head. Anyhow, you should have this (linked) article a read. eyeopener for me.
Tru, but I want the option to max them out and run at 200-250 without working my PS. The less work it does longer it should last. I spoke to HLG, and 1 320 will have it cranked up but will shorten the lifespan of the board running at max even with cooling
Use silica make sure not too much as it can poison the plant. I use bio weed and mammoth p probiotics. They make my roots explode Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
