6under6 GDP

weve had a couple days in the mid 90s. thats unusual for my area... the night temps have been in the 60s too, n thats a bit high. the same forcast for the next 5 days or so.
my res temps have been getting in the 70s n i have been waterbotteling the res 2x a day to keep temps down. im unable to keep below 70 so im including h2o2 into the mix starting tonight. it will kill off the bennies but the other option is worse. i will finish up this week with the nutes n change over to flower nutes probably sunday.
i have 2 radiant6 hoods mounted on a light angle iron frame that i will hang in the tent in the next couple days. im looking to flip n run 2 600watt lights for flower.should produce some awsome results...

there is a saying "time is money" in my case my time is spent with my son, so in my case "time is priceless"

bc ive 2 sons grown n serving in the airforce now, i feel the time spent with them is and was priceless. now i can be their friend and am. when they were growing up i was a hard ass on them, hard but fair if you follow. today im proud to say they are my friends and my sons. we talk almost every other day n are as close as can be. invest in them the time it takes n you too will be rewarded my friend...peace

edit: BC i just saw your f1 in the oven pic lol congrats!!! when is the due date?

ok so here is the dual hoods that will be 600 watts each. i drilled n mounted hoods to angle iron using bolts. then i hung using tie down straps secured at each corner. with the hoods, filter, n 6" vortex all supported from the framework of the tent i think i have reached the safety limit weight wise. dont know how i would fit anything else in even if i wanted lol.
i have to get an addaptor to hook up the second hood to the ballast but its all there but that. ill stop n pick one up tomorrow n it will be off to the races...

tomorrow evening i plan on changing nutes to the first flower mix n turning the lights off for 24 hours. when 24 is over ill flip on the dual 600s n we will see what happens. ill be running 12/12 fron 8pm to 8am to help with the temps im sure the 1200watts will create. its also an easier time for me as i do have to earn a living n that takes from 6 to 6 usually lol. gives me time to clean up, eat n such then i can check the girly show out before retiring for the night. when i roll out in the morning i get a cup o joe n a nice can can show before heading of to bust rocks usually puts a smile on my face no matter how bad the day might look.

lights went out tonight at 8PM, going to be 12/12 starting tomorrow night @ 8pm. i didnt get a chance to swap nutes but no biggie ill get them swapped out tomorrow night.

Whats cracking 4T.....Sorry I havent been around but my internet and CPU had major problems. Virus and my CPU crashed. I got lots of catching up to do. Set up looks dope and I see your still pimpin the green ladies!!!! I am back bro!!!!

Peace

just sprayed again with mitacide, i think im good to go as i didnt see any mite damage on the folage that was left. im t6hinking 2 more treatments 5 days appart will completely eradicate the mites. fingers crossed lol. the girls are popping bud sites everywhere n filling in fast. the node lengths have shortened up with the mh just 12in off the canopy. i will do one more tie down this w/e n flip. this should be a killer grow...

note: ph has been rock steady @ 5.8 n nutes are @ 600 n holding..i added 5 gallons to the system with pre mixed nutes n ph set the same as what they were running. i think i will run the veg nutes the first week of flower then change over. will allow me to get 3 weeks from the nutes before dumping.

nice work.

Yeah, 4T! I really like the setup - looks really good. HB is a fav of mine too. Keep up the good work, and keep those pics comin'!

looking great 4tatude. Your setup is starting to look really dialed in. Keep up the excellent work!

HEADBAND UPDATE

as you can see the canopy is healthy n pritty even, the 2 600s are 9" off canopy, temps are rock solid @ 77
roots are in love with the uc system, lots of big main arteries and tons of new white feeders.
just finished changing from veg to flower nutes, comlpetly pumped out system n flushed with water, re filled whole system and added 50 ml of clerex and 15ml h2o2 to system and ran 24hrs.
nute mix
in one gallon i mixed
200ml pro bloom for soil
200ml pro bloom for hydro
200ml liquid karma
125ml cal mag
75ml silica blast
100ml aqua shield
2 scoops of great white

added mix untill i got the ppms to 800 adjusted ph to 5.8

not yet dirk im kinda in need of one tho. ive been treating with h2o2 so i dont get rot. the temps are just above where they need to be like 70. for now im going to cool with frozen water bottles n do the h2o2. im just not set up right now for it with all the construction going on here. i did a prototype on a mini fridge that will work great if i had the room but im just wall to wall right now with all the material n projects i have going on. hoping to have the shop finished sometime this winter n will have room to set up right. you know how it is , we do what we can when we can with what we got thanks for the support man sometimes we need the push from others...

looking nice, going to give the side by side lights a try, keep it coming.

Aquashield/Hydroguard by botanicare, add that to your rez, and I guarantee your roots will be nice and white in no time!!

i already use aquashield, ill check out the hydroguard. thanks bro!!!
the roots look fine, the nute mix i run doesnt allow real white roots due to the mix. i was worried about root rot as the temps are hovering @ 70.

BC im already using aquashield. i understand it replaced hydroshield so now i understand your slash lol. the roots are healthy just get nervous when the res temps hover at 70+/-
i cut n copied this so we could all understand what aquashield does

Aquashield is safe for use in soil gardens, soilless mix hydrogardens and aeroponic growing applications.

It contains a mixture of these beneficial bacteria which break down (composts) organic debris to keep the plant roots clean and healthy:

Bacillus subtilis
Paenibacillus polymxa
Bacillus circulans
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens

Botanicare's AquaShield is useful throughout a plants life cycle in both soil gardens and hydroponics systems to create a natural and beneficial growing environment.

reached deep n cut a few clones fron growth that was getting over run with the older growth. looks like i need to pull n do a maintenance trim n possably install the frirst set of support risers n balance the canopy out. peitty even growth so far tho fast growing. will be doing some super cropping, trimming, and some tieing back when i get to it. these headband are perfect for tis type grow... im having a ball with them and anxious to see some flowers.....this tent will be rocking soon!!!
