Living Organic Coco - LOC

Tonight at lights on, cobs will be turned to full tilt. The plants are loving the cobs and look hungry! There looks to still be some veg fertilizer but i will add 1/2tbsp of blooms tonight.

I forgot to mention ive been watering with epsom salts and black strap molases once to a couple times a week. Pics coming tonight.

Ph was low. Some spots on leaves from lockout. Added 1tbsp of dolomite lime

Hey farmer sorry to hear about ph issues . Gald you already know what to do.

 

[Pennywise]

Still going strong it looks likes. .

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Thanks guys! Hopefully they darken up! Ive been giving them a few tbsp of bloom and gave them 1tbsp of grow a few days ago. Seems like its not enough. Will wait a day or two and add another tbsp. Adding Epsom salts to my water.

I want to take off the trellis soon. Not sure if i should tie down the branches still. Dont want them to move. Will probably put it back up after buds get heavy. Looks like the branches are favoring the 3000k 90cri over the 80cri 3500k

 

[Pennywise]

I think the 3000k is what ill go with when i pop for a new light

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Yup wish i went all 3000k 90 cri!! Or at least staggered the lights. I put all 4 in the middle. Well im not taking the light apart so ill just rotate the plants. Its ok though, once it time to make a veg light i have the perfect cobs. Maybe ill use the 90cri with some wavy boards. Thatll be for another time though

 

[Pennywise]

I looked at quantums and wavy boards, i may add a couple down the road.

 

[BedroomFarmer]

They can be wired in a series with cobs. The wavy are like 36v. Same as the vero29 im using pretty much

 

[Pennywise]

I saw a youtube video of a guy who mixed cobs with boards, very good numbers

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Thats what im going to do for sure!

Hope this helps anyone looking into cobs

If i could go back and rebuild from scratch i would go 3000k/90cri for the whole lot... No mixing at all. The only reason i added the 2700/90's to my build was that i wanted some more red in my spectrum.. The 3500/3000k to me is the best all-arounder chip there is.. As long as there 90cri..If you haven't been doing your homework on the cri battles going on, you should check them out..

These are citi clu048-1812's, left is 90cri,right is 80cri...both 3500k..
Same clone, res, temps, distance from canopy.. 90 side is coming down this week.. 80 will be another week or 2.. Guy says the 90 colas are bigger and denser.. And obviously faster.. He does par tests throughout the grow.. 80 has a higher par in 400-700 range, as he shows.. But the 90cri grows bigger, faster plants...
Heres the pic from this week..

If i were you i would get straight vero29's 3000 or 3500k 90cri and be done with it..
The pics say alot..
Cheers

Thats hands down there, ill keep the 90cri in mind

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Yeah! Im really thinking of going 4 wavy and 6 3000k 90cri. It will have to wait though.

 

[Pennywise]

Im probably a month or so before i can do anything, i need to get the recirc going first.

Man so much goid info here! Hey BF do the wavy boards come in the same light spectrums? Like a 3000 90 cri board? Watching u closely cause its jus a matter of time before i build my light! Especially if i get this new job! Havent smoked in seven months cause they hair test well jus a one hitter twice of my harvest but hopefully that dont cause me to fail!! But if i do get the job m gonna build a nice light and gonna get in contact with u if u dont mind to make it the best it can be!! Great info and loving your thread!! Thanks for all the info u already gave me!!

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Umm i know the quantum boards have like an all white but the wavy is white, blue and red diodes. Its not the same as cob. Goodluck on the new job man!!!

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Going to tie branches down for better light penetration, give more fert, and defol a bit on the bottom

 

[Pennywise]

Thick and bushy just the way we like em.

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Loving it! They are doing great but having trouble keeping up with their needs after the light went to full tilt. Getting some defs and stuff but also worried about top dressing too much as the fertilizer is slowly realeased. Will add 1 tbsp tonight if bloom and start opening them up again little by little. Thw dolomite should help a lot too!
