I can only control what I can control. My numbers with the exception of the light are perfect.

200w 6000k Floodlight has been added. I’ll take a par reading in a bit.

I’m to a crazy theoretical wattage in there.

1000w Meijiu
420w 7x 60w bars
200w 6000k Floodlight
22w 2x 11w UVC 232nm

1642w Total

And remember all you kids at home, what do we say?

“More watts equals more and better buds“

It really is that easy.

😂

Looking forward to zebra striped plants from this setup!

Lolz that’s right in the middle between bars to get the full floodlight. Epic 635 PPFD

This came today. Bit of a hassle getting an SD card that works in it. Its some beta version I think as really cheap. Cost half the price of the normal USB ones and has the screen. No wifi though. 24x to 3 microns across apparently. What I have see when I can keep the fucker still is pretty good if a little too narrow field of view.

See if I can get some stills or even video off it.

And that’s what kief looks like!

Camera delivers, bit fiddly to hold steady even with the bud trimmed and on the desk. And got to swap out the SD card or maybe just plug into a PC to upload. Saw them for $60 on Amazon, $75 list price. - Apexel Handheld Microscope I paid half that becasue Chy-na is next door but one on our street.
 
:rofl: You are running the cyco high 😊 more power to you I'll be interested to see how it goes
Pretty sure that just means I got lucky with the strains.
 
I originally started off at 1200ppm and it was either Kefka or Waistie that said 600ppm is better and I noticed my plants took up more nutrients instead of just the water as odd as that sounds but if I mixed reservoir to say 500ppm and by the next day the water level had dropped by 15 ltrs but ppm were close to the same ,but when I ran ppm at 1200 the level would drop and ppm would go up ,which was kinda telling me it was taking up more water .
But I definitely don't want to try and influence you at all keep doing your thing .
That's what is cool about this place seeing everyone's approach.
Thanks @Absorber! I’m a noob when it comes to the whole reservoir thing, so I appreciate any education anyone can or will offer. I never take any of that as anyone trying to influence me, and you’re like me - very careful about stating things the right way. Which I also appreciate. But for the record, I’d prefer if you’d take the gloves off with me at least and tell me straight up if I’m doing something “wrong” or that is counterproductive. This tip you just gave me is awesome and now I’ll have to check the situation carefully. See where I am. I have a res change tomorrow, so I could try this with the new res. It seems so counterintuitive though. Thanks again! And yeah, if I ever ask a question or someone sees me doing something stupid, I always prefer to be the trailer park to the educational tornado. I keep my ego completely out of this game as far as getting educated, seems to work better that way, yes?
 
In this 5x5 they’re 110oz - 0.75 gallons or 3 litres. About 25% perlite the rest coco peat.

Upstairs they’re 5 gallons, yes fed every day, normally for a about a week or two during mid/late flower fed twice a day to run off.

How come you don’t have the heavier pots downstairs and the solos upstairs?

I’m so tempted to show you what kief actually looks like, but I won’t. That’s cute though.

If I had this device my current numbers would not be dissimilar, except my ppfd is more in the 1200 range, and no CO2 obviously, and my RH is more like 42-45%, temperature more like 75 degrees F.

I don't like to swing my dick around like I know everything because there's always something to learn and everyone does things a little different and everyone's set up is usually a little different too so I just put it out there and you do with it as you please 😊✌️👍

Because big pots belong in rooms not tents.

Like this 73 micron stuff I have lying around, I’d imagine!

The Jungle

This morning was hopefully the final canopy even-out-ing. You gotta do it first before you feed, or everything is way heavier. Still it’s the biggest PITA of my grow. This is about the best I can do. The Apple Fritter is still a bit too high but is a few stakes away from being right. Most of them have achieved their final heights (sorta, they never really stop growing vertical), so this should be it.

Here’s the jungle, a couple shots of the beastly and in need of defol (lol) Apple Fritter (coco/water/Remo flower week three/1300 tds{ppm}/67.6 degrees/5.61 PH), and a shot from almost directly atop the lovely Bruce Banner #3.

Hard to believe you’re only at 635 to look at that!

Well that’s a little better on the kief…had me scared for you for a second. Lol
 
What do you do with it?
Sell it - I'm gonna chuck it in with another deal, I have a lot more of the 160 micron stuff, all told I think something close to 40-45g plus 19g of pressed hash made from the 100 and 73 micron blended. I pressed it to about 10% of its volume under a 4T press for a week.

Aim to get $3-400 bucks each the kief and hash I guess. But contingent on "well take this bud off my hands at the same time" kinda deal.

Fair enough! Long as you keep putting it out there! I’m the same way with the few things I feel I actually know well.
