SanibelGreen's LED/Bubbletronics Grow (1st)

[SanibelGreen]

I saw somewhere in here you were in need of a PPM meter. I got a Hanna Multi meter off Amazon not long ago for around $90. Does Ph, EC, PPM

Amazon: Hanna Instruments HI 9813 Portable pH and Conductivity Meter

Hope this helps

Looks like that might be bought

I know you have heard the story of the ugly duckling that turned out to be the beautiful swan??? Runt pot plants and slow starters do the same thing very often.

I have already noticed, roots are 2x what they were 2 days ago, I went to my local hydro store and bought a nice t5 setup that he basically gave me in exchange for LED info and such so that was cool. a sun systems 6 bulb t5 , he also gave me some heavier duty air pumps with 2 ports a piece I slammed those in with new airstones and the inside of the tubs now look like soda water almost there is so many bubbles! So back to that T5 I am setting up a veg chambers in my roomate's closet to keep seperate areas, that is where that clone will be going to as well as other plants to be mothers my friend wants to give me 3-4 other clones of strains like The church, AK, Big Bud, and super lemon haze so christmas came real early. On the flipside we ordered another tank and light today because he thinks I can do three tubs and he wants me to "maximize" my skill set which I laughed at but will need it because of all the clones that will start appearing soon.. However continuing with the roseman tradition my bathroom sink now doubles as a hose hookup with my 50 ft curl hose thing, it is amazing btw.And my PPM meter should be here by monday. This explosion of info is from a cexplosive roseman comment lol.

Hell yeah, your plants will love the light and especially MORE BUBBLES!! They should really explode! I just ordered and HO 8-bulb T5 setup. Have you hooked up the T5 light yet and if so, does it seem bright?

Man, C5Rftw, I would have loved an 8-bulb T5 but my closet was a little too shallow to fit it. The 6-bulb made my grow area a lot brighter than the 4-bulb I'd been using. I wish I'd gotten a 6-bulb in the first place, or at least had it as early in the grow as SanibelGreen has.

Thx for the input PPG! Im excited for it now. It was 250$ so it should be good!! I was reading that you have a total of ~70,000 lumens.. Thats all they could need, and by looking at em, they are doing very well! So its safe to say, you have good lighting!

Day 14!

Well alright ladies and gents, if you dont know me by now I am a perfectionist that likes things to be organized. I redid the grow area again, taking into account future and present needs. Another light was a must for flowering, elevated tanks was also a must. Other work can be noticed Well let the pictures begin, as always your opinion matters for this LED crusade! enjoy

Starting off with the airing out of the roots during water change, notice the one plant with freakish roots already.

Here are the runts I am kind of concerned about but rose says not tot worry....

Top end look

New closet look with light,stand, and wall mounted fans!

more to come!

 

[wowtestdrive]

Looking crisp as usual, love the setup organization!!!!

Goodluck with the runts...they need a lil kick in the butt!

Thanks man, ya they need a little kick but I think they will eventually get there I hope, some of the plants might have gotten hurt during our possible freeze here in FL last night, some leaves which were amazing last night are now dryish/ tail end crispy, dropped to 30 here in south Florida last night WTF! Time to turn the heat on = /
