Holy cow, 45 days from when they first broke soil???....My Early Miss is like 78 days and isn't even as far along as the ones in your photo. You're a master!

I really believe the amount of par and something with the spectrum they get from my light array makes them quicker. I have seen shorter grows every time since.
 
Hi Fanleaf, I've grown Early Miss before and they finished a lot faster---like 10 weeks I think. I'm wondering if it's because this grow I decided to go with lights on 24/24--usually I do 18/6 or 20/24. I'm not so sure lights on all the time is a good idea. I just recently (day 78) started shutting the lights off for a few hours a day--and it may be my imagination but the plant seems to be responding better.

Ahhh ma brotha, your observations are damn sharp. What you're seeing, is the plants not having a night time period to use up their sugars (to grow) that they have created via photosynthesis during the lights on period :)

Obviously the plants still are able to undergo this process with no dark period, just not as efficiently :)

Hopefully this info isn't out dated :/ doing my med science degree and I learnt that in first year biology. So hopefully I'm not miss-informimg. It was a while ago since I learnt all this :O

Peace!
 
Amazing setup and grow!! :thumb:
Keep up the great work
 
@Emilya do these ingredients look okay so far? Sorry for all the questions it's just that I am brand new to even thinking about doing a living soil so I'm a bit nervous LOL. That 18 watt pump comes out to 690 gallons per hour so I hope that will be sufficient.

Fanleaf, I realize this is an older grow journal, but it was badass my friend! I am very very interested in those COB's you made. Are they still in service? I might be interested in buying some of those myself.
Being that the UVA/B tubes you have are so strong that you can barely run them, have you thought about going with a couple of reptile UVA/B tubes? I keep chameleons and a GREAT bulb is the Arcadia 10%. You could probably leave it on as long as your lights are on and get great trichome development with no burn risk.
I am following you brother. You have inspired me to start planning for a real grow room build in my basement.
It has been an absolute pleasure reading this journal the last couple of days. Congrats on Michigans legalization. I hope Minnesota wakes up and does the same too.
 
Hey @fanleaf, I have a question for you, I’d like to build a couple cob lights of my own and came across 3 drivers for free, I’ll put a link to the data sheet for what I have, how many of the cobs that your running do you think I could put on each driver? I’m thinking 3 would possibly put them in the most efficient range? I’m a big DIYer but new to building led lights. Thanks for any input in advance
