thank you!Your plants look happy. I like to see the leaves lifting up like that. And I like the way the buds are stacking up. Maybe just me, but is there a tiny bit a tip burn? What is your EC? Not sure on the conversion from the PPM you have showing.
I went back and looked several times at the 3 A Light site videos...especially # 3. If I count the days right, it looks like they defoliate about 30 days from planting a rooted clone in the pots. Then again about 20 days into flower. At least it looks like that to me. Tell me what you think. Doing the heavy math from your pictures, you took the fans off at 17 days into flower. They sure look good for doing it. What was your plan in veg and later in flower? Thanks.
*Also, I have the same gauge you do. I like it a lot. My problem is the opposite of yours. My RH hovers in the low 20s...quite dry. Haven't tried to remedy it.
thanks for joining the ride friendHello Rollitup, hope you dont mind if i tag along man. Your garden looks absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
thank you!
yeah, there is a tiny bit of tip discoloration on some plants (not burn yet) good call, i'll watch closely.
(its even written on the meter ppm=ECx700) (it may be a lot for non organic nutrients)
let me brake down what "three a light" are doing:
they put a rooted clone in veg area, after ~3 weeks they top and Deleaf the plant (top probably used as fat juicy clone for next cycle)
after ~2 weeks they Deleaf the plant again and put it straight under 12/12
after ~20 days they Deleaf the plant one last time, give it support and play the wating game.
I'm sorry to tell, but I don't have a plan yet. I try to listen to the plants. (I know it sounds lame but that's how it is)
It's hard to believe that you never tried to add humidity to the room since 1960...
so your results matching the rest of the world with 20% humidity? that would be good news.
your plants look nice and sticky btw
thanks for joining the ride friend
They look awesome. Especially the ones closest to the door. Love to see those little white puff balls! So you gave them a trim on day 17 of flower. Using the 3AL approach, was that the third trim then?12/12 Day 26

And seeing your good results...I gave my up and coming plant its first trim...and blended all those fans. So I'll be watching your grow...and learning. I think I'm two trims back from you.
Great pics and video. You could be a promo for 3AL! Another 30 days or so and those branches will just be solid bud sticks!12\12 day 26-27

There’s a lot of to-do about grams per watt, but that uses wall-watts. Very subjective depending on the panel or build, but grams and PAR watts per sq foot or PPFD is a much better to measure in my opinion. But the ultimate (in my opinion) is return on floor space, grams per sq. foot. A measure of your total skills. So if you said “a light” means a 4x4 or 16 sq. feet, then 3AL is saying you can get 3 ounces per square foot. Just my interpretation. Tell me what you think.
So I think with your 43 square feet (or so) and the way the girls are stacking the buds up, you are going to be killing it come harvest time. I do about 1.25 ounces a foot with 2 trims during flower and with room to improve, some here do 1.5 ounces a square foot or better. I would not be surprised if you crowd 2 ounces a foot. My opinion…just saying.
I’m sticking around to find out! Thanks for sharing.
hello guys, I want to build extremely efficient and cool panels for the next grow using Cree cxb.
with passive+active cooling (possibly cool hood)
I want to try to take efficiency to the next level, so I don't mind spending more to get highest efficiency (75%+ is it worth it?)
by running each COB below 20w I'm hoping to get amazing light and heat distribution,
that will allow me to lower the lights to minimal distance for max. efficiency
after long research I'm almost done figuring out how to do it but still left with some questions, please help
-where can I purchase the highest bin and what is it ##?
-if my goal is in terms of yield only, should I use the 4000k or maybe higher K? if plants care more about photon density than spectrum..?
-what driver should I use for this purpose? (how to run the cobs below 20w?)
please correct me where I'm wrong and feel free to advice, this build is with an open mind to changes.
I'm hoping that together we can make it epic and test how it works.
I will be keeping a tight journal with all the values that you will ask for.
thank you in advance
reducing your monthly bill if you live in an expensive area for power?What's the advantage of going so much higher?
please message me if you would like to chat over the details in some instant messaging program. whatever you use, ill install it. thanksOK, check out the HLG-240H-C1050. It will put out a max current of 1.05A over a voltage range of 119-238VDC. So the CXB3590 Vf at 1.05A is about 34 volts (a high estimate as the factory chart does not go that low). So 6x34=204 volts. So you want to run 6 36volt CXB3590s on one driver at a max 1.05 amps, the HLG-240H-C1050 would do it. Please let me know how you see it...two sets of eyes are better than one. That would give you about 35 watts a cob max and you could dial it down to around the 700ma range for max efficiency with the "B" version! Shweeet!
