High Brix Kit 4 Strains QB 288 & 132s With EOD & Emerson Lights In A 6x4 Sealed Room

[Highbrixbotany2018]

I also don’t have a light meter. So for all I know I’m way too high on ppfd. I never did the math. Whoops just added lights until I ran out of ceiling.

I did a lot of calculating from spec sheets n stuff, and with CO2 you can run the Samsungs at about 40 watts per sq foot, with 2 feet of headroom. That will get you about 1200 umols.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

So I can go by wattage of the system as a whole? 6x4 is 24sqft 1000watts 41watts a square . I should put the lights at 24inches? 1200 would Be my target. Thanks in advance for the help greytail. I can literally just use my kilowatt to check this? The pic is lights a couple of fans and CO2 meter.

Since they're white mid-power Samsungs, we know the spectrum numbers and can make calculations. It will depend on the efficiency of your system -how many watts per diode, etc, but 40 is a good ballpark number. I have a very efficient system and could get by with 35. I figure I get 1000-1200 umols with 670 watts at 2 feet in a 4x4. I'm running 4200+ diodes in that space.

The numbers are very rough, but you definitely have enough light.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Too much it seems most days. That’s my fear. Where’s the sweet spot. Lol

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Temps good. Room good. Lights way at too close. Put them at 24. They were at 20 and grew to 16. Bleached the shit out of several leaves. I’ll keep it up from now on. .

 

[Graytail]

I think you'll be happy with the increased headroom.

Whenever I back a plant away from strong light, it starts to do better. 16 inches is a bit close.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

It’s not 16 on purpose. It grows so fast.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Recharge, earthworm castings on the top! Without the drivers in the room the heat is so manageable. I think the twice a week watering may be enough without all that heat

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Plan to drop it 3-4 degrees per week and lower RH starting week4. By week 9 75f 65rh.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

To review up to this point. Humidity has to be watched and controlled!!!vpd definitely hurt
Me. Not calculating ppfd hurt
Me. Lights l too close too often bleached or burned leaves several times. As for the kit. No pHing water watering twice a week spraying twice a week. That’s the easy part! As far as results these plants are
Much much bigger than normal. Taller bushier. Healthier. Leaf size should increase now that I’ve guesstimated my ppfd better. Stems are as thick as
Some when you harvest. There going to be tree trunks!! No defoliating except the bleached or vpd killed sobs. Which is way way less than my norm. I usually strip
The plant bare at least once. I’ve even done it in bud and they explode in growth. But we will
See what happens with lots of leaves. Pics later.

Currently all lights are on 8 qb132v2, 3 qb 288v2, 2 qb18, 9 560 gen3, 10 Cree for eod. Eod is 6minutes. Running 12/12 for 2 weeks. Then I’ll switch to 13.5 /10.5

Happy 4th everyone. God bless America. And American home grown cannabis.

This isn’t from Thursday. I forgot to post it. Airpump got unplugged. Ugh. Shows how much they help though. 3 were fine but still had water in them when they should be dry Ish. 1 was literallly floating. Bobbing like a bobber. Which was killing it. If it’s not one thing it’s another

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

I think the water bonnet is a gonner

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Sucked out all
The excess water. Rescue drench? Or let it dry for the day. Tomorrow’s growth drench day.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

I’m questioning keeping it or just
Moving the 3 plants around. 6x4 will give me buds.4plants
Vs 3 won’t effect harvest much of at all. The others would just
Fill the space. I’ll decide tomorrow. Advice? Opinions?

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Cut 1 down. But one of the pots was a 2 beaner. I didn’t have the heart to kill it. So 3 pots 4 stems. One is a tree . They spread out to fill the net. One has yellow leaves. But I think the growth ionic drench solves that. trunk

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Which makes sense with the schedule. Growth ionic drench 2 weeks in a row during stretch to make nice strong stems. While it’s still
Growing.

Been on vaca. Bro watched the room. I’m back tomorrow. Here are this pics he sent me. Lights are at the ceiling. Plants are way way bigger than others in same room.
