Holy cow, 45 days from when they first broke soil???....My Early Miss is like 78 days and isn't even as far along as the ones in your photo. You're a master!

I really believe the amount of par and something with the spectrum they get from my light array makes them quicker. I have seen shorter grows every time since.

Hi Fanleaf, I've grown Early Miss before and they finished a lot faster---like 10 weeks I think. I'm wondering if it's because this grow I decided to go with lights on 24/24--usually I do 18/6 or 20/24. I'm not so sure lights on all the time is a good idea. I just recently (day 78) started shutting the lights off for a few hours a day--and it may be my imagination but the plant seems to be responding better.

Ahhh ma brotha, your observations are damn sharp. What you're seeing, is the plants not having a night time period to use up their sugars (to grow) that they have created via photosynthesis during the lights on period

Obviously the plants still are able to undergo this process with no dark period, just not as efficiently

Hopefully this info isn't out dated :/ doing my med science degree and I learnt that in first year biology. So hopefully I'm not miss-informimg. It was a while ago since I learnt all this :O

Peace!

Amazing setup and grow!!
Keep up the great work

@Emilya do these ingredients look okay so far? Sorry for all the questions it's just that I am brand new to even thinking about doing a living soil so I'm a bit nervous LOL. That 18 watt pump comes out to 690 gallons per hour so I hope that will be sufficient.

looks like good stuff... cant see the guano... it is high P guano? You will also need high N guano for vegging teas

I will get High N Guano on the way!
This is the one I bought. 0-7-0

Fanleaf, I realize this is an older grow journal, but it was badass my friend! I am very very interested in those COB's you made. Are they still in service? I might be interested in buying some of those myself.
Being that the UVA/B tubes you have are so strong that you can barely run them, have you thought about going with a couple of reptile UVA/B tubes? I keep chameleons and a GREAT bulb is the Arcadia 10%. You could probably leave it on as long as your lights are on and get great trichome development with no burn risk.
I am following you brother. You have inspired me to start planning for a real grow room build in my basement.
It has been an absolute pleasure reading this journal the last couple of days. Congrats on Michigans legalization. I hope Minnesota wakes up and does the same too.

Hey @fanleaf, I have a question for you, I’d like to build a couple cob lights of my own and came across 3 drivers for free, I’ll put a link to the data sheet for what I have, how many of the cobs that your running do you think I could put on each driver? I’m thinking 3 would possibly put them in the most efficient range? I’m a big DIYer but new to building led lights. Thanks for any input in advance
