Irish Boys Return Of The Inferno With The Spectra 180's

[irishboy]

Welcome back to my INFERNO! its summer time again and the room temps are in the 100-110F, i know its hot trust me but i am going to try to pull it off this time with some Mendo Afgoo clones. last summer i pulled it off in this heat and the start of this years summer i chopped my Casey Jones. As of right now the score is 1:1 Irish Boy vs mother natures heat. hoping to pull ahead with a 2:1 on this grow.
as most of you already know i am a led grower and been on for many years. on this grow i will be using the new 2011 GLH spectra 180's. its not going to be a fair run because of my hot summer temps, and no i cant run a A/C.lol

i am a Medical Card Holder, with a prescription from a doctor to grow cannabis for my Medical Conditions.

i will be using 4 Mendo Afgoo clones

the 2011 v2 spectra 180's from http://www.growledhydro.com/

Sun Shine#4 soiless mix

3gal Geo pots

a mix of nutes with Dyna Gro being the base nute

temps are going to be as bad as it gets so wish me luck guys.

i just got these clones today and their very healthy, they had a long car ride and dealt with stress, i also haven't transplanted them yet their in the hated 6pack RW cubes so i have to cut them apart.

guys enjoy the show and lets hope this summer grow turns out better?

subd to this one. fuck the heat.

 

[stoneyluv]

all right!!! sub'd up for this one!!! by the time they are ready for flower, summer will be over. what time of the year does it start to cool down where your at?

you also mentioned that your new containers are washable.... do they suggest washing them before you use them, in case there is anything from mfg to leach in the soil?

welcome buddy, it starts to cool down mid-Oct.. i only flower for 3 weeks or so. i am planing on keeping this one short and fast to stock up on meds. looking at the size of the fan leaves i do not think i will LST ther might make things too dense?

thats a great question about washing before? i never heard anything and i am not going to.

Got my Geo pots in today.. gonna transplant the girls in a about a 50/50 sunshine#4/perlite. then i will feed them some seaweed with humic acid and mykos.

the pots i have a the 3gal geo pots. i was looking at their older fan leaves and notice they were pretty fat Indica style, so i dont think i will LST this run because i dont want a very dense light blocking canopy. i also am planing on flowering them kinda short like around 12" because i want to try to knock this grow out and get my meds and by then it should start cooling down for my next run. i am mainly after quality not quantity.. i just want to grow some fire buds in the summer heat, so for this reason i will be feeding organics also to help with this. Dyna grow will still be my base nute then next feeding it will be just organics and so on.. . last night i fed them some seaweed and bio root

 

[fartman]

wut height should i keep my 290 from canopy bro?

 

[irishboy]

wut height should i keep my 290 from canopy bro?

not sure never used them. i would start out around 30 something inches and work it down slowly to 26" and leave it their if it was me. every grow room and strain is different

mine seem to like 38" much better than 32" I hope it doesn't get worse when i put a third 180 in there... I'm almost out of head room.

their strong lights.lol. it has to do with ur strains i know people that run them 20" and some 14" and are fine. IMO the key is breaking them in slowly, i can tell you how many people take the plants from 20w of CFL and slam the 290w on them at 12" its gonna fry ur plants these are not the weak leds these are pretty strong from what ive sen.

so u keep urs 38" at 1st and where do u finish at?

 

[fartman]

ok got them at 38 they were about 30 just put them in there sat,and the strain is white widow )thanx

i had them about 24" away and i was bleaching them. so I put them up to 32" and still had small cases of it so now i am up at 38". you said it right they are strong LED's!!!!and not just straight down either!! they are also very strong on an angle. when i put the third one in there i hope it's not to much...
