Tales Of A Coco Pimp

[Stage]

Right on ! I totally agree, it took me almost 6 yes to catch my groove. I'm a more simple guy, I like to keep it K.I.S.S. and very much self sufficient. I love Love my 600hps I'm a former Vert bare bulb dude. I love everything about mixed spectrum growing. I've seen some crazy results first hand using mixed spectrums. And after time, I'll have three different spectrums myself. This led, the Phillips cob technology, and the plasma or cmh technology. Still researching alot so in due time my friend. I'm planing this next setup as a flood table, coco table, perpetual. So I'm just gathering materials for this table build. I'll update more after I grab these lights from the delivery man. Anybody know how long DHL normally takes to deliver?
Respect

Cocopimp,
Cant answer your ? re: DHL delivery times.
but when you DO get the cocoa flood table going, do know I will be watching.
Those coco soil bags I talked about earlier would be great in a flood and drain!

I did spend $80 on my DWC root spa and I do love the results but I'm pretty sure doing DWC in the spring/summer would be a nightmare if i chose to do summer grow.
Thats why I did this trial run w/coco. And I am impressed so far.

Yes I can dig Dat! Deeply! One of the reasons I settled on platinum led, their spectrums are just crazy, 11bands can't beat that. But yes I've played with uv-b, and yes it does show a difference in the trichs. It's a strip uv-b light I'll put you onto. It's new in development, I haven't seen anybody online use them. In sure four strip 4ft long would kill for added uv-b . Like where your headed we gotta swap knowledge on the daily or whenever you got time brother.

Sure thing my dude!
Mutual respect here. I've sent you a friend request.
Keep posting and soon you will be at the 50 post mark. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think then you will be allowed to send PM's.
Keep this thread going!

Yeah I can't send pms yet. I sent you a request as well. I will fosho keep this thread rumbling, just have to get used to the pic uploading on here I'll get it down. And I was on monster gardens. They shipping kills my budget but love their selections. End of the day I will be going with either cocogro, or something from botnicare. I'll cut that with perlite and some other goodies and give it a twirl. I'm pretty much at the mercy of my zip code of what I can afford to get shipped. But we will push forward righteously!

Yes, and my budget as well.

However, where I am I can't get this quality soilless mix without gathering all the ingredients myself. Too time consuming for my schedule.
I bought 1 bag and was able to fill 4 3 gal fabric pots (well....almost. I had to use the grow stones for the 1st 2 to 3 in. at the bottom and top dressing).
The results were very good.
I may have to bite the bullet and buy 2 or 3 bags at a time so I wont be killed with the shipping. Man, this hobby ain't cheep!

Yeah pretty much, I grab the big brick bag of coco when I can't get my usual. Some companies are steppingup their game on coco. It's a few brands I wouldn't mind trying out to see what I can get.

Hi CocoPimp! How are you doing?
I don't need to ask about the plants as I can see they look amazing!
Bro, I read you have a 5x5 running 600 HID in there and will replace with 2 Platinum P600, 368 watts each. Is that how it should be done, always adding more watts that we actually had before? I am wondering because I want to replace my 2 600HID, but I don't have much ceiling to work with, only 5ft tall and I don't know how close the LED panel can get to the canopy.
Why did you decide to go with PlatinumLed? Have they been in the business for awhile?
Thank you
