All Cree Led Plus WaterFarm With Attached Screen Grow(The Dawgie Dawg Style)

Man, I bought a philips led bulb like 2 weeks ago and slowly came to the idea to put like 40 in a box idea, and finalllllllly stumbled across this shit. I think its really smart, I like the philips bulbs the $10 award winners for this cause the cri is suppose to be like 92(?) I dont know about the crees but Im sure its high. I'm trying to figure out the MINIMUM amount of watts or lumens needed from high CRI LEDs like per sq/foot for still dense bud or at least triched out. Any suggestions? thanks

Shit doc, I got shivers just looking at those pics. Yesterday I mowed my lawn; day before took a motorcycle ride. Overnight temps were 70*s

dawg, DocH, and anyone interested in hydro, my halo ring system is operational now. I am also doing a bubble system as a rough comparison. It is under household leds, while the halo is under HOT5s.

I'm on 18:6, so I guess we'll see. There are a lot of differences, but I'm hoping to have some tight nodes as well. Maybe I'll mainline one and LST/scrog the other one.

Edit: You said the light stays at 18"?? (mine is 18" from light to top of the plant)
Yep My Brother I Maintain 18 Inches From The Top

Thanks for this post, I'll get started on it, here's a picture of a local place here, that just might be your kinda place! DAWGIE DAWG STYLE! If this place could talk OMG!

LOL-IT WAS WINTER ON THIS MORNING
ah Ive Spent Many Nights Entertaining The Old SaltyDawg.Vodka And Grapefruit Juice

Thanks Dawg, geeeeeze those girls must be standing upside down, they are really, really bushy, just how I like em :P
I Belive Its The 20/4 light Schedule Keeping Them Short

Where the hell have I been for this thread? You make me want to try DWC again, but my landlords have outlawed it. Humidity reasons.. the housing in my area is all low-humidity material. Hydro grows cause a lot of permanent damage to houses around here. But you sure make it look easy. 67% tops? Do you run a dehumidifier?




Not topping.. Mainlining ;)
Welcome Brother High.Yes Hydro Is Very Easy Using The Kiss Method.IMHO We Dont Need That Extra Crap The Nuterient Compaines Try To Sell Us.In Fact I Belive It All That Extra Crap That Causes Us Hydro Growers Problems.I Havent Had To Add A Dehumidifier Yet.I Have Central Heat And Air And That Seems To Keep My Humidiy in Check So Far.Knock On Wood

I go out on the spit of land where the Salty Dawg Saloon is located nearly every morning, on the morning I took those pictures I FROZE my ass off just out of the car a few minutes, windy out there it adds to the chill factor and were still getting 30's at night, low 40's days, summers coming then winter again LOL

Thanks for the info/posts, yeah I'm contemplating the nutrient delivery system right now I'll check out your systems, Thanks again

I've been kinda agonizing over the limited head space I have for the light panel pulleys, I only have 30" above the surface of the platform that the container or bucket rim will hang. This would normally be at soil level, here at this point will be where the stalk enters the "root chamber" using a dense foam rubber gasket inserted in the 2" hole of the chamber lid, surrounding the stalk for light blockage.

PROBLEM IS: how do I keep an eye on the roots? I've been looking at waterproof mini web cams? with small led lights to aid in vision, does anyone have any experience with these? After talking to the DAWG he explained the second tier of PVC in his frame for his supercharged system https://www.rollitup.org/led-other-lighting/644641-all-cree-led-plus-waterfarm-13.html allows him to lift his ladies and check under the skirt and admire the roots. I can't do that I don't have the space above. I have also been looking for clear polycarbonate or glass 3-5 gallon containers, I would prefer something I could see through like that.

Doc Might I Recommend A 5 Gl Sterlite Container.Its Low Profile And You Could Prop Your Lid Open Your To Check Your Roots Plus You Want Your Entire Res Light Proof Alge A Biotch To Deal With

lookin good, it's like staring at an "I Spy" book trying to follow the nodes.

Did you feed the foliage while the lights were on, or right before they turned off?

I'm curious how they would turn out if you flipped to flower now, but at the same time, I think you should veg for 4 more weeks and train the bish. Nice to see a plant that hasn't been pruned to hell though.

I still hate my timer, I almost replaced it out of spite last night. I tried resetting everything, and follow directions to set it. It'll work for a day or two, then forget to turn my light on.

If you defoliated, I couldn't tell before. It's less common with LED people, but I guess I'm used to seeing through the plants... and yours are quite dense.

What's the plan for Becky then?
