LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

[PetFlora]

If only it had like 25% less blue it would be an awesome flower bulb

I think my next PAR spread is going to be nothing but Wave-point. I found a local distributor! Plus I like what that new bulb they are putting out looks like in chart.

Anyone have any suggestions as to a good height for a scrog screen??? I just made a pretty nice cage out of chicken wire with 2.5/4" squares, I made it for a 10" canopy and it seems like a good height, but Ive never scrogged before so I dont know what to expect when it starts to fill in... is 10" a good height???

This will attach to and sit on top of the lids to my bubble tubs, 3 or 4 plants per screen is the plan.

ive always tried to keep my screens around 6-8 in from the base you dont want colas stretching to the screen but rather have them grow above the screen then weave them back down into the screen. i have a crazy lst mother to show you guys. you guys are gonna love this...

I want some more red in there. Probably be replacing the supers with roseates. Or something similar

Check it out everyone

ME LIKEY

 

[polyarcturus]

looking good VG! nice and bushy, i love the reaction my leaves have had to the new lights they are so much thicker!

 

[ValleGrown]

Thanks man I just hope its enough red for flowering. I think it should be pretty even for flower and veg. But I will definately be making another order for more Roseates.

Here's what I did today, I took air tubing and cut slits down them to wrap around the wire for cushioning wherever contact will be made. I hope 3 plants isnt too much.

Here's the AutoHobbit before chopping, I chopped half and got .55oz dried, the 2nd half is drying now and I should get an oz... 1.5 oz in 80days... not bad! ...although Ill smoke it in under 2 weeks

I also mounted my 2 FlameDefender Automatic Sprinklers... I wouldnt mind a few more.
<- inside the top of my Flowering box, dedicated just to that box (1000w of lighting)

<- outside that box, aimed to cover the Nursery and Veg box and the room in general

I also finally got my CO2 farm up and running

I would swap the actinics out for CoralWaves during Flowering, so you still get that good PAR blue but also the bonus IR to boost flowering otherwise I think It'd work well, try the florasuns to tho, maybe instead of more Roseates. Next to each other, the FS's look really pink/red and the Roseate's look flat white, they'd be good to fill in any gaps in the red band

 

[ValleGrown]

I think I will! That I thank you for

I like that CO2 generator, what is the second bucket for though, I havent seen them built quite like that

 

[polyarcturus]

hehe... co2.. buy a tank and regulator well worth the investment.....too bad none of you are near i have an extra of both

I wish I could buy one but I dont even have the cash atm to buy lights for a mother/veg closet at the moment. Hoping I find some before my seeds get to big to where I need it fast.

 

[polyarcturus]

2 words, high bay. 50$ or less. great temporary lighting

Finally got everything the way I want it as far as lighting goes.

The 660 appears to be a very deep magenta color, some cool pink hue to it.

This is day 8 of flower. Ive been using FF feeding schedule for the liquid nutes, I have an order of all 3 solubles supposed to be here friday. Research shows that side by side comparison of with and without solubles there is a huge benefit with the addition of solubles.

I have a couple of bushes hiding around my grow area that were LST'd with 10 and 12 nodes respectively. Im going to be moving after this grow and will be within the next 3 months. I needed to have them harvest before the move date, so I put them in flower early. I really, really wish I had more time to veg them out another 1.5-2ft before switching but its cool.

I finally decided on seeds for my third round: RockLock.
