Day 47 Pics for the peoples
Things are coming along great. Ph and PPms are staying the same and between the 4 of them are drinking about 7 gallons of water a day hahahaha o man they are pigs! They love the feed as well. PPMs are at 900 right now. The resevoir has my personal recipe of what i think are the best products from each company with basic Base nutrients.
I use:
Botanicaire Kind Line 3 Part Grow Bloom and Base.
Botanicaire Sweet Raw
Botanicaire Hydroplex
Botanicaire Aquashield
Advance Nutrients: Rhinoskin, Vodoo Juice, Tarantula, Piranha and maybe Bud Factor X for late flower.
Canna: Boost, Rhizotonic and Cannazyme
TERPINATOR (works like i cant describe)
Like i said the one in the back left has literally skyrocketed the last few days. I have no head room left to move lights up with the current hangers they come with. Two have staid short. The one i trained early in veg and tied down the main stem. The other just was a short Pheno i beleive. The other two have just gotten massive. The 4x4 tent which is actually 4.5x4.5 is full. I cant get in there without moving everything to one side and shiimmying down the side while crouched hahah was a mission to raise the light. especially since it was the 900 which weighs like 25 pounds lol.
I keep my res temps at 68 degrees at all times and am running the lights 24/0 due to the fact its hooot outside and it gets to cold when lights are out because my air conditioner has an internal temperature probe and i use ducting to duct it into my tent so with lights all blazing and AC on low my temps are perfect at 22-24 degrees and 5o% humidity.
I have heard many things about PH and how it should be like 5.8. I usually let mine run at 6.0 during flower I would love to know what the pros in DWC have to say about this??
Anyway thats all for now everyone hope you enjoy the pics and maybe someone can pick up on some of the things i do and maybe it will help them. I am a newb after all but seems like i have my dwc pretty dialed in right now. hahah knock on wood!
Has anyone used this Bud Factor X before? Does it make a difference?? I think i saw brother tang using it before so hopefully he will chime in.
The Mars II series Lights so far have done very well. They do put out some heat though. Cooler then HPS but in the middle of summer definately need to plan some sort of cooling. Otherwise they can get too hot as ive seen with my last grow with Dark Devils. None the less very good starting lights and very well priced for what you get.
I ordered a couple Area 51 panels this week. XGS 190 and RW 150 so will eventually get to compare an expensive american made light compared to the cheaper chinease made Mars II panels. Im curious to see if spending the money on an expensive led will make any difference what so ever. Also the area 51 panels rely on 5w chips but they are all white full spectrum cree leds except for the reds in the RW panels. Supposed to be much easier to see problems and much easier on the eyes as well. But so far for anyone looking to go LED and doesnt want to spend a fortune doing it i would 100% recommend the Mars II panels to get your feet wet. But would reccomend 4 of their 700w for a 4x4 for maximum power and production
