Hey 
welcome to my third journal.I was talking to the guy that designed my led's a few weeks back and he told me that he got his best results running the room cooler than most led guidlines suggest. He ran his room at 78 degrees daytime 70 degrees nightime. He also told me his best results were with minimal defoliation, He suggested putting less plants in the room and to spread them out more to help get the light to the lower nodes and to just remove the large fans covering the lower sites.So since this is probably my last round with this cut of Purple Kush and I know what to expect from it ive decide to follow his method this round and see for myself which tecnique works the best with these lights. Those temps are pretty much perfect for hps growing so I hope hes right.
So this round there will only be 15 plants in the system and maybe a couple of Black Domina's in the waterfarms(I dont want to wait until October to find out if its any good).
Flower Room Dimensions 18 x12.
System- 15 bucket top drip recirculating system with a 1/2 hp Eco plus Chiller.
Climate control-24 000 btu Freidrich mini split with heat pump- 70 litre dehumidifier.
The room is sealed with a tank style co2 system.
50 gallon res that will be kept at a constant 62 degrees.
1000 gpd Hydrologic Reverse Osmosis system.(still in the mail)
4 x 600w led's and 2 1000w vented hps.
Nutrients-Blue Planet Nutrients High Yield System with Dutch Masters Zone to keep things nice and sterile.Tecnaflora cal/mag on standby if needed.
3 x 16 inch oscilating fans for airflow with a 4 inch vortex inline fan on the floor to keep the co2 moving.
6 inch vortex fan and carbon filter for the scrubber. I took it off the ceiling and put it upright on the floor to help keep the co2 off the floor.
I think that covers just about everything. I transplanted the girls into they're new homes last night, they vegged for close to a month in the 4 x 4 flood and drain table in the veg room.They have only been topped once so far and will probably get topped one more time for 8 to 12 main colas( this will make it easier to spread them out for light penetration.Im aiming for 10 to 12 oz per plant or 10+ pds.
Full view
The 2 Jack's
Blue OG.This clone was taken from a plant 4 weeks into flower so she looks a little funny but shes starting to get 5 fingered leaves now.
and a few of the Purple Kush
Nutes
Mini split a/c
CO2 900 to 1100 ppm's
Scrubber
1/2 hp ecoplus chiller.I installed it on the otherside of the res room wall in the storage room where its nice and cool.
All comments, questions and pics are welcome here, so pull up a chair and enjoy the show, hopefully this will be my best round yet and I hit that ellusive 10 pd mark
