Lighting Pete's SolarSpec 150s vs Cheese XXL

[Discretepete2676]

And the water only cheese xxl on day 18 in kind soil, 2pound bottom layer, topped with roots 707..... Under the Mars 1200 in the 4X4 with some other girls....
Let me add how nice it is to not have to remove the girls in my amare tent to get good pictures and natural colors. Nothing extra needed. I can turn off my bloom booster and make the pics even more natural if I need too but they look fine to me. Can't wait to finish this grow and slap up a nice review about these lights. They work and do exactly what they say and are supposed to. I can't wait to get more...great results so far....but now the real test....flowering....just wish I would have ran all the at the same time in one tent to see what I got from a straight full tent run....that's my next goal as packing it full and just making a nice level canopy to pack full and surpass that 1gpw.....my first grow, fully documented on here, I pulled a pound dry out of this same tent with for thc bomb autos in 3 gal pots and a 600w hps....the time has almost come to replicate that very first grow with that same strain and see how I do on round two....sorry about being chatty Kathy today.....thanks for reading and looking.... Let the swell begin!!!!!

Yeah, I've got one of those tower fans in my 2x4, I always think about getting some small fans to clip up instead, the tower is definitely a waste of good space. Lol.

Glad to see you're back in the groove with some new nutes and such, pete.

Enjoy your garden

Thanks medi.....in the up close bud pic do you see the twisty leaf? I was taught that's the first sign of over fertilization so that's why each is getting straight water for a round....only problem is I never learned if it goes back to normal or starts that way and I have to watch for further twisting and other leaf twisting.....
Also in my quest to steer away from over fertilization I have most of the nectar for the gods organic line and I've been playing around with it and I think I'm ready to run it from beginning to end using a waste to drain, feed water feed water style grow. Might also look into aact teas as well once a week or so for the microbes....advanced is strong stuff and it's been giving me some troubles as of late. Plus I began a new job at my local grow shop and we don't carry advanced. So I'm looking to change to a line we do carry since I get everything for my personal garden at distributor costs. I pay what our shop pays so it only makes sense to use a line we have and save money. So I chose nectar. We also carry Gen hydro, Gen organics, fox farm, botanicare, rx green solutions, remo nutrients, and a couple others....nectar is a calcium driven line and is a little unique to industry standards honestly. So far I'm loving the results on two plants I've tinkered with....time to get up a journal and get a start to finish with this stuff instead of using roots 707 soil to get me to day 30 or so then start feeding....anyway it's fast buds girl scout cookies and I'll get the thread up tomorrow with more info on everything....

Cool, pete, I see the twist. That's a good thing to look for, thanks for passing that along.

I've got a few bottles of Nectar stuff, I've been liking it so far. I'm trying to steer more and more toward a good complete soil that won't need much feeding, but some teas and such to boost the microbes. I am mixing the current batch of soil stronger this time so will test in time how it goes. It's been fun to experiment with as it seems too easy to get big, nice looking buds with chems, but is more a prize to learn how to coax out those aromas and flavors, curing/drying aside. I'm convinced that the more organic methods are the way to accomplish this, but I'm waiting on my results this year to see for myself

Anyway, take it easy bro

Looking great pete dude. Those amares look like great lights for sure. I remember that thc bomb journal it was awesome. Would love to see you run them again. Think ill get a pack and try 4 in the wilma soon too!
Hope the new jobs going well

You too medi and I hope the soil goes good for you! I too am after flavor and aroma, and with nectar I've got that so far and what's dense buds with nectar. Only one plant finished and one in flush that I've used it on but great results so far. Can't wait to see how these girl scout cookies do

New job is great so far. Couldn't ask for a better placement in life right now. If you do some THC bomb in the Wilma let me know, I'd love to order a pack and run them along side you for a friendly hydro/soil comparison, keep me posted if you decide to do that. And thanks again for growing such a beautiful few cheeses to get my gears going to try these. Really happy to have this strain in my garden. Hope all is well for you! I'll catch up on your blue cheese when I get time, harvesting five girls this week though lol....busy busy.

By then I'll have my light I'm saving for and everything dialed in perfect I think. Going to need everything to b to notch to have a good comparison with your green thumb and equipment!
