Advice please

I'm saying the 304 kit so those 2 panels and maybe 1 more single panel like the hlg 100.
you could also wire 3 panels together if you buy individually from hlg but you would have to wire them up and buy the correct driver to power them if you google quantum boards diy you will find a ton of info on how to build your own for less money

 

[Mikesem420]

The initiator pucks have there own power supply but also have the option to be wired into the driver so it all works on the same driver but they say it's good to put them on a separate time to go off 15-30 min before and after your normal lights do it helps put them to sleep and increase your yields

Okay so im so close to my wife allowing me to put it on the cc, im in vacation sales str8 commision had rough week last week or i would have got plus i spent like 270 on ventilation. So its on amazon for 299, if i did it like your saying piece by piece how much would it be or how much cheaper? (If i did the 260 diy)

 

[XiwsX561]

@Mikesem420 woot got the okay. Just got the okay to get a light, i do have to wait just a few more days, plus how ever long it takes to ship. But if u dont mind and have some free time, if it comes out cheaper you tell me what to order and i will.

 

[Mikesem420]

I think you should go with the amazon kit this way your not searching for things for your grow light can just order it and be on it's way the kit has everything you need you just have to assemble then when you go bigger you can build your next light piece by piece you'll have a better understanding of how they work an go together also I'm a carpenter man the winter months always slow down I know how it goes I got a few upgrades I wana do but the Bill's gotta come first lol

@Pennywise is it too late to lollipop?

 

[XiwsX561]

Im 4 or 5 days into flwer. Todays first time i could see bud sites.

I lollipop about 3 weeks into flower so no worries X. You running an hps at the moment?

Looks like potassium deficiency, it could be caused by ph. Make sure ph is 5.8-6.2. I change my Rez once a week with fresh nutrients. Also coco should be watered daily never let coco dry out.

Sholud i treat the coco like soil or saturate every feeding? What I mean is if you have a small plant in soil you don’t need to soak the full container. I’ve got two plants each in 5 gallon coco n perlite mixes one photo and one auto.

Hope you don"t I am going to take a seat and watch this thread. Have just read the whole thing and you have been getting some great help. I am looking at setting up a similar set up over the next few months. I am space limited so will just be getting the gorilla 2x4 X 6" 11 and looking at getting a hlg 360 elite. At the moment just got a couple auto's outdoor in organic soil.

I just realized i was reading your first page shen i adked that wuestion.

 

[Pennywise]

Always water and feed coco every day. Coco isn’t soil, it behaves more like hydro.

I’m with Kismet, i lollipop or clean up the bottom 1/3 of the plant at 21 days into flower. Don’t be afraid to remove branches that don’t make it up to the canopy at that point.

 

[XiwsX561]

@Pennywise i did what i thought was right, might still wanna take some smaller branches off the larger ones. Ill show pictures here in a second. Kismet and mike i just ordered hlg 260 went with 4000k like u said. Hopefully early enough to make a difference.

 

[XiwsX561]

I wanna thin it just a bit more? Lower canopy.

Forgot to attach

 

[Pennywise]

Looks pretty good from here!

I'm with the 3 weeks into flower before lollipop. Give that girl a chance to fully open up and show you what she wants to do. You can do some mild LST throughout the first 3 weeks to open up the inside and get some light penetra-SHOWN down into the lower parts of the plant(s). Then at 3 weeks Mr. Miagi that girl and 'make like picture!'

 

[XiwsX561]

Its little difficult now to LST bc all the branches have became woody. Penny every super crop joint has repaired itself. Try squeezing them now its not possible hard as rock
