Day 23
These girls are blowing up and stacking hard! I think someone's been sneaking in at night and injecting testosterone into the pots.
I also think I made a boo boo and they are all Golden Lemons which isn't a bad thing but I was looking forward to more of that Underdog.
Might bump up to 300w at week 4 or 5.
They can get nice and close right now and the buds closest to the COBS are already getting frosty and super sticky so there's definitely a benefit to running them close to canopy but it becomes a challenge when the wattage goes up.
Gotta find that sweet spot. That's why I'm really looking forward to get my Quantum boards so I can have that spread and dimmable power at my disposal.
I will also crank it to the max at some point to see how well the SSTX can handle 110w per cob. I cranked it to 420w for a few minutes the other day and they barely felt much warmer than they are at 250w which is a good sign but I want to give it a couple of hours next time.
I think high power cobs at 100w+ will become the standard in high bay fixtures for commercial use. Couple that with passive cooling and it's a win for commercial indoor.
