New Light - New Grow - ScrOG 4 Plants - 480W LED - Hydro

I can certainly do that, I'll just have to wait until I take a few clones from the Front Left girl of the main 4. I did go ahead and takes some pics of the setup though. To be quite honest all I do in between new clones is rinse/scrub the bucket/lid and the pump. I have never bleached anything I have because I hate to use to stuff.

First pic is of the pump and spray head, just a basic 160GPH pump with a sprinkler riser and 360 degree spray head.

Second I took a pic and short clip of the pump turned on and spraying to show coverage.

Third pic is what the bottom of the rockwhool cubes looks like, just a short little bit of stem sticking out. While I do have the stems sticking out from below the cubes it is not needed, normally I don't have enough to go all the way through

And lastly, we have an update pic of the big girls and their size.

Are they getting better or worse. I can only see the leaves burned , is that old leaves. Kinda looks like old leaves. Any new ones having that issue. And is the chems u using working. Looks like nitrogen needed. Hydro so hard to get right. I have a unit I still haven't used yet. Nor I think I ever will. To much work for me.
 
Not all LEDs are created equal. The 18 to 24 I believe is more for the 3w. I could be wrong, wouldnt be the first time. But on their site it says
Hanging Distance:24" - 30" (60cm - 76cm) from the top of your canopy
I had mine at about 26" from the top and it was still bothering the ladies. Its now at 30 - 31 and it looks like it could still go a little higher. I may raise to 34" tonight.
Either way, just keep raising your light slightly until the problem goes away.
whats going on with the plants to the left. Are those the one your moving or are they being punished for something. JK
Looking good bro. I like the solo set up with the CFLs

yeah i can see that. good catch. i have 3w. led and a spider 16 that puts out 800w. i have 800w about 30 inches i guessing. and 3w underneath the plants. from them bottom.

Iv thought about putting some lights under the canopy later on but wasnt sure if it would mess with it in anyway. I know the plant likes to grow toward the light. Do you have any problems with limbs trying to grow down?

Not yet first time I ever tried this. Seem to be doing good.
 
Alright everyone, I'm back with updates and the cloning tutorial I promised. Lets start things off with the cloning info, below is a link to a thread I started in the Growers Forum under "Seeds, Clones & Strains". Let me know any questions, suggestions, or comments y'all may have.

Cloning - "The Easy Way" by Aquagrower
 
Tried to submit last night but the website wasn't working :/


Time for the updates, I've fallen a little behind for the past few days in posting updates because of work and planning a mini family vacation. Not to worry though I was able to at least get pics of progress each day.

love the pictures bro. I like the way you are showing where you have tucked. More people should show this process. I Plan to in mine. But sometimes Im out there and I forget to take my phone with me. So no pics.
Everything is looking good homie. Keep on keeping on.
 
Nice set-up and love the scrog net. I've been toying with the idea of a scrog but haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe next go around.
Why the high rez pH? 6.4 is kinda up there and 7.6 is really up there. Is there a reason i may have missed in your journal? I don't want to speak out of turn if i am uninformed...

Thanks man! It just so happens I bought a Nikon D3200 a few years back and it has come in handy for snapping some great pics. I really just like to show everyone exactly what I am seeing, and that is really hard with pics vs in person.

In all honesty, I just haven't bother to mess with the pH too much until I got the meters to check it. I got the pH drops tester when I first started but its not really the most pinpoint accurate. The other reason it because I haven't had any problems up to this point with my growth under these conditions. The main rez I have since brought down to an acceptable level, but I don't know if I'll mess with the cloning pH. The reason it jumped from 5.9 to 6.4 is because I changed out the rez water and nutes. I was leaving out of town right after and felt better leaving it at 6.4 for a few days vs trying to bring it down and it going out of wack while I was gone.

Never worry about asking something that you have a question about, I am always happy to answer the best I can. :thumb:
 
At one time I had 3 or 4 different kind of cameras laying around. I may be able to find one if I looked and might start using it. Maybe I can change the white levels with it so I dont have to turn the light out to take a decent pic. Thats if I can find one still. I fell right into the Smart Phone Trap. lol I couldnt tell you any ones phone number to save my life. All I know it as is "MOM" or Name lol. And until now. I thought My camera on the phone was all I needed. Didnt really see why anyone would even buy a camera. But now I see.
Anyway. :Namaste:
 
Updates Updates Updates
Not really much as far as changes, just growing and filling in the screen. If I forgot to mention, I did a water change on the 21st and the pH was sitting a little high at 6.4. I did finally adjust it down as well as add some nutes(Canna Flores A+B) which brought it to 6.0 pH and 990ppm.

Updates from tonight, I decided to do some defoliating and clean up under the screen a little bit. Its getting really close to the point of switching over to flower. I did accidentally break one of the stems and had to wrap it in electrical tape for healing. I was also finally able to assign the names to the ladies. As for not having any pics or readings for the pre-flowering clone, its because the lights have been turned off in prep for flowering. Lights were turned of at about 8pm last night(2/28) and will be turning them on at 8am tomorrow.

I have this happen with how I do cloning, roots are even trying to grow out of the top!

Wow that screen filled in fast. :popcorn: Everything looks pretty good bro. Im have a bit of trouble on my side. Not sure exactly what. Looks like nute burn but idk. Its not real bad yet but growing organically, I guess it happens alot slower. I got my screen made and put in. Its not near as full as yours tho. Love the rotation you have going on over there. What are you going to do with the clones? I forget if you have a separate flower station or not.

Yeah, it's definitely filled in a lot quicker than I though it would, I'm really happy about that. I was over on your thread looking at the pics and I'm not really sure what it is. :/ I don't think it's nute burn because it's not really starting at the tips more towards the side of the leaf, maybe a deficiency of some type? Screen looks awesome bruh, I'm curious to see how the 3" spacing works for your girls. I have mine at 2" spacing and it seems to be just right for letting it stretch a little then weave it back in. My goal is to eventually get back to having a perpetual harvest but right now I'm just growing clones to maintain the current strains I have. I hate to say it but I'll bet most, if not all, of them will get trashed and replaced with their own clones. At least that's where I'm at with them, and it's time for me to move the single lady I have under the CFL's into the main grow and move the clones into the secondary grow area mainly used for vegging. I'll have updated pics from last night to upload and new pics tomorrow after the lights come on. BTW, the main grow is now also in flower along with the single lady in the 4gal bucket. Lights were turned off at 8am this morning and will come back on at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. That's all for now, happy growing!
