re: First LED Grow Ever
Ok Mini split A/C i finally installed - After 4 days of hitting road blocks - needing tools - and anything else that could go wrong - It is finally up and running - AND COLD - Its great. Now i do not have a negative pressure on the box the from the single hose portable A/c and no air exhausted into my attic anymore. unfortunately I had to have no A/C set up for 3 days while installing the other one. so my box hit 95 degrees three days in a row
(
Growtronix computer arrived and is set up doing test runs at the moment in my kitchen. After i clean up my mess from the a/c install i will set up the computer in the boxes. Growtronix software set up easily and so far i am VERY IMPRESSED. After that will come c02. So without further a due here is this weeks update

re: First LED Grow Ever
Regarding the Ona, I've only used the one quart gel type Ona and usually get 2-3 months out of it.
What size/type is that? Also, I find the direct area around the gel to be very strong. Is that size extremely strong? And how long to you anticipate it lasting?

re: First LED Grow Ever
Spimp - This is a gallon size bucket (Fresh Linen - smells way better than the pro gel, my wife wants it in the house it smells that good, she hated the pro i showed her in the hydro store) and i keep the fan on low - i had it on high and WOW it would almost make my nose burn when i was using it inside the house for testing.... The low setting is very very very low. I almost thought it was a useless speed until i actually put it on the gel. Very strong and effective just don't keep it in the same room as your flowers. Not sure how long it will last. Per manufacturers spec should be 4-6 weeks depending the application it says (seems like a short time frame, i was hoping they were low balling it). If you are getting that much time out a small quart then i predict much longer than that.
b real - Thank you, luckily i had done a lot of research on this product before i purchased and had come across this tip. I keep the gallon pail in the open garage across the room from the cabinets as my grow cabs are sealed now from the garage. - I would have placed it in the box had i not read that before purchase - EASY mistake - Thanks for bringing that up for everyone!!!

re: First LED Grow Ever
Thank you mrrobert420! +reps for the help and info sir. I have only used the pro gel and will be switching to fresh linen.
b.real very good point. I knew that but forgot to specify so good catch.
Also, a grower here put it in his drying area and it really effected the taste of his finished buds. Best to set in the next room/area available imo.

re: First LED Grow Ever
This reminds me of a brief side story--
Many moons ago me and two brothers would sneak pinch hits in their room while thier mother was in the next room over. I learned the "fabric softener in the toilet roll trick" (blow the smoke out and it smells like the fabric softener) from these two. One evening ,while smoking, She bangs at the door and yells "The whole house smells like Laundry! I can't believe you two are making your company help wash your clothes!"

re: First LED Grow Ever
Knotspeed, stealthgrow and NCdude - Thanks guys you are awesome!! +reps for all three of you
Cleaned up all the tools and drywall / wood dust and installed the growtronix computer last night so i can start graphing the environment. Set up was breeze, this system is truly a plug and play it so easy to set up. If you are not good with computers it could be a learning curve. But if you have experience and are a tech geek. THIS THING IS AWESOME!!! Possibilities are truly endless. We have our first daughter coming in October so i am trying to get this whole thing practically automated.
I am 11 days since a water change because i have been so busy working on other aspects of the grow, (still on week three Veg nutes, Need to get second week of flower nute schedule going - This will be done tonight!
Shot a couple pics for reference.

re: First LED Grow Ever
Yea its crazy the growth rate, do you think i will need to clean em up a little to let some light through as i go or should i just leave and let em ride? Top canopy is getting so thick lol - i guess im not complaining just not sure if its gonna get out of hand and cause low quality in the end. Thanks stealth
