Epic 4x4 Flowering Smackdown : 96 Elites vs 288s

[Or_Gro]

Exactly how I do it too, also adding a few things to my phone calendar like > clones into cloner, flipped to 12/12 ect. Then I can cross reference with the pictures I took on that day.

that works, too

I like it all in same place, so just put those notes on here w pics or on the pics themselves...

Day 6 from 12:12: Flat, even jungle wreaths startin to rise. Who says defol doesn’t work?

Tops of the bottom 2 pairs of laterals on each main are at same level as the tops of the mains, these laterals are working on their 6-7th pair of nodes, main tops are working on 8-9th pair of nodes. Internodes starting to extend.

Humidifiers shut off yesterday, as plants are now transpiring enuff to create their own humidity. Nutes bumped to 1.2 ec. All controlled variables inrange.

I’m sure I can put this in another thread but how many 288’s should be put into a 2x4 tent?

3 works really well for me.

Depends on how much of a light addict you are.

The reasonable range, for white leds, is 30-60w per sq foot. That would be total wattage of 240-480 for a 2x4.

You can calc how many boards that equates to, depending on your chosen drivers, and the spec info on hlg site.

WhAt do you do in terms of ventilation? In regards to the CO2 are you just cycling air during lights out and sealed lights on ? C02 generator?

 

[Ibn Vapin]

I've said it before, but the way your plants just lay open and are like 'Shine upon us, Great Jah!' with the leaves and shit constantly boggles my brain. It's awesome. Steak's are doing the same thing. A+.

I use one of these environmental controllers for each tent:


I have a 6-inch exhaust fan w filter, runs when temp and/or rh hit trigger/cutoff; one circulation fan currently running on lowest setting 24x7; one ground-level vent open slightly 24x7.

Co2 (50lb cylinders) runs during lightson, to maintain at least 1500ppm.

How often do you find it trying to ventilate when running C02. I’m sure the LED must really help with heat control. Serious advantage over HID lighting

I havent timed it this grow, but last grow with the same 288 config, during summer/fall, about 30 secs every 5 mins during lightson...of course, varies with ambient temp & rh, and hvac setup.

I know that Saturn 6 helps keep things right too.

Them girls been thriving their whole lives nice! I just installed an exhaust fan to my co2 tent. No Saturn 6 but a temp controller will have to do. How long does your tank typically last?

Last grow with the same 288s, flowering ran 12-13wks, i used about four 50-pounders; so, about 3wks per tank, couple pounds per day.

I had 2 vents open 24x7, one with dehumidifier outside tent, other with radiator heater outside tent.

So, it can be done a lot more efficiently, under better conditions/equip.

@Or_Gro Do you hook your Saturn 6 up to a machine or do you just work from the box itself bro? I saw it had a connector to run a cable to a computer.

I run mine manually.

Looking great as usual brother.
I’d love to see this Whole setup.
I was working in my tent last night and noticed the size of these platinum delight leaves.
Jurassic park comes to mind lol

Yuge!

How far along are those? How will your move affect them?

Got one of your vids?
