so 3 weeks from the flip and things still looking good to me. I was out of town this weekend, so that threw my waterings off a little, but plants look great and have definitely started to pack on some frost. Tallest one getting a little close to the lights, like 14 inches, but no major signs of...

I haven't used distilled water personally, but I have used tap water from two states both with ph over 8. not sure of the ppm of these two different cities water I have grown in, but have never had an issue from using tap at either source with high ph. just curious, were you fully organic when...

everything seems to be going great. frost is starting to build up and smell is getting strong. out of town at the moment, but these were from friday. I'll try and get some better photos next week.

nice, thanks for easing my concerns. Do you start your plants in the 6 qt containers? also, what kind of veg time do you give them before the flip?

so I started with 4 seeds, 2x gps sundance kid and 2x bodhi more cowbells. ended up with all 4 being female. I had to take one plant out as I didnt train or lst these plants at all. I have only taken minimal fan leaves off. so currently I'm left with two sundance kids and one more cowbell. the...

sorry if this is the wrong spot to be posting this, but really only visit the organic and led lighting sections, so figured I'd post it all up here. haven't been keeping notes on anything, so hopefully this will help me start being a bit more organized as well as get ideas and advice moving...

I'm going to hook two of them up to an hlg-150-48a I think. I'll prolly just grab a 120-48 for the single board for now and figure out what I'll do with it later. with such low height in this little tent I have now, I figure the 150 would be more than enough. I was going to try and cram all...

nice man, hope it works out well for you. I'd like to see what one of those does for a 2x2. I have a 2x2x4 as well, but I went with two v1 boards and the double heatsink for now.

so took a couple more pictures since today is two weeks from flip. I'm a little nervous about the small containers holding up, two plants are in 3 gal and the other is only in a 2 gal. hopefully I can stay on top of things with light nutrient type "teas" if needed after this last ewc topdress.

thanks man, really happy with how everything is going so far. what kind of set up do you have for your boards if you don't mind sharing? 14 days since flip, all seems to be well. boards are pulling 180 watts from wall and I try to stay right at 18 inches from from tallest top.

plants look awesome man. i can only hope to get mine looking as healthy as yours. I went with like 3 tbsp kelp and 2 tbsp each of insect grass and crab shell. mixed that into like 50/50 fresh soil and ewc. took these a couple days ago, like 10 days from the flip. probably going to give one...

Can't wait to see the grow. I will for sure follow along so I can see more of what these lights can do. hopefully I don't make some crazy mistakes, but here are my plants 9 days since flip/being under the high lights. all seem to be healthy and went 4/4 on females from what I can tell. my first...

I agree 100%. I used water in two different states, both having a ph of 8+ and chloramine. I never had a problem with the water itself, just my watering habits. Sometimes I add things to water, but majority of water is straight from the tap and onto the plants within an hour or so. I recently...

I've both left them in the bin and thrown them outside as well. I only threw them in the outside bin when i had like three all go bad on me before eating. I figure the bits left offer some sort of aeration as they seem to crumble super easily when even just mixing and moving things around a bit...

my avocado pic from a while back. reminds me I need to start eating avocados again. do your avocado skins break down pretty slow? my skins always seem to take a while to fully breakdown after the worms have had their fix and move on.

so I am no expert by any means, but I've been lurking around these organic threads for a bit. someone like @Richard Drysift is a lot more knowledgeable and can hopefully lend a hand. here's what I just mixed up as a fresh 2.5 cu ft batch of soil a couple months ago. I'm not super accurate with...

Nice, thanks for the info. I ended up just making a few batches of some homemade "biochar" in an old over-sized kettle type thing hah. It was a nice deep bowl shape so as I was doing some yard work, I would add a little more litter to it and continue on with my work. I would continue adding...

nice thread, love seeing what I can hopefully mimic with my grow. my first time growing photos, only had a few auto grows previously, so hoping to learn a little more on this grow. 4 plants are only on day four since flip, but grabbed this picture today when watering. the two on left are more...

and this is why I chose your boards for my first diy build. I had been eyeing the optisolis spectrums, but was intimidated into diving into a strip build from scratch as a first go round. your boards offered me exactly what I was looking for. something different from my 80 cri cob lights, but...

just hung up the boards in my little tent and going to flip to 12/12 tonight. again, first diy build so definitely room for improvement moving forward, but excited to finally have them hung up. plants look good and healthy from my inexperienced view so hopefully it all turns out well.
