Lupey's Northern Lights & Candy Cane Autos

[Lupey]

11/03/16
I'm back. My last grow failed because of a failed lighting timer that went un-noticed too long

So I ordered more northern lights auto and candy cane auto from CROP KING SEEDS. Service was top notch and delivery was very stealthy.
My new cabinet is 24"x36"x42" high.

It utilizes the 300w led fixture I got from Jason at twilight lighting group

The walls are covered with the windshield sun reflectors you buy for your car. It also contains a 4" turbo fan and carbon filter

The inlet air ducts are back to back 1 1/2" black PVC 90s that are angled towards the canopy area. I am hoping this might act as a air circulation method. As the girls get bigger I will seal the door opening with plastic so I can watch the effect

And they are perfect light traps

This is the mini scrogs I am going to use on this grow. 1 for each plant. They are 16" in diameter with 2" spacing on the netting. I plan on setting it up 6" above the pots. The support legs mount right through the lip of the pot

I built them this way so I can rotate them if needed and can easily remove them from the tent when needed

Awesome Lupey, happy to see you starting again. New digs and new gear, things are always improving in your garden. Great handiwork to say the least. I'll be around for the ride my brother, let's make it happen... Your scrogs are so well made you could probably sell them, sweet scrog Lupey.

KiG cheers

Woah daaaang I'm impressed with your scrog nets too! Hope the girls grow well! Love the idea of having plastic to stare at the ladies without disturbing their habitat

Thanx guys I'm pretty stoked about the scrog also. I'm gonna do an article on construction of them soon.

Here is the girls at 6 days. Looking pretty good had some twist in the leaves that looks like it is probably stress from the led lighting.

I added 4-23w day bright cfl's that I'm going to leave on 24/7 until they get further along. Changed the light timer on the led to cycle on 1/2 hr off 1hr through the 18hr light cycle until they get better established to try and reduce the light stress

I am only going to seal the front in plastic so I can see the effect I'll get using the air inlets in place of a fan for foliage circulation. They are adjustable so I can direct the incoming airflow towards the canopy

11/11/16 day 10
Lowered led to 16". Added air pump to water reservoir to try and raise humidity levels a little, right now I'm struggling between 35 and 41% Rh. Temps holding pretty good during lights on between 77 & 81f. Watered them with 1/2 doses of humic and amino. Also 1/2 dose cal mag. Jezebel is looking good but candy is still slow- main stem spindly and not nearly as full. Time will tell

11/14/16 day 13
Growth really started taking off. Watered again with humic, Amino's, and cal/mag again. Candy is finally starting to show her colors

While Jezebel continues to thrive

Changed the lighting timer to run the led 18hrs on 6 off. The 4 cfl's are still on 24/7

 

[Stinky Snid]

Looking right as rain in there now. Those two have given up their wonky ways and are starting to take off. Keep up the good work Lupey, and...

KiG cheers

Ps. Second post in days... Later boddy
