First Grow! 1500W COB LED All Tips And Advice Wanted

[Mikesem420]

Quick question fellas I just installed a 6inch I power exhaust fan with the charcoal filter and I'm still seeing temp spikes in the 79-81° range usually it sits at 75-78° this is just above the lights I use the temp probe from my 4inch ac infinty intake if I knew how awesome theses fans were I woulda got the 6inch anyway then I have another cheap Chinese 4inch inline on the other side hooked up to a ink bird temp controller comes on if the floor temp gets above 75° the floor temp usually stays around 73-75° then I have one more remote thermo pro thermometer attached by the door in the corner usually 78 lights on 73 lights off so what should I do are those temps ok when i see the spikes i open my windows use a box fan to push the cold air down the stairs to the lower level but it's getting cold do I need to pull in cold air from outside??

Update: Sour veg week 3 Shark veg week 2

I added my 150w hps with the other cob leds to the tent the other day the girls seem to be loving it I pulled out the cheaper 600w (100w actual) led using it in a veg closet im going to be using for clones an the other 4 shark seeds I have germinating once they pop I'll throw up some pics I'm also gona try to take some clones next weekend

 

[Mikesem420]

So today me and my buddy cut some clones from all 3 my girls the first time I've ever done this so hopefully they take. I cut a bunch of nice clones I used clonex rooting gel and then put them into rapid rooters two of them I put Into rockwool cubes to try out. They all have drooped over on me I've read that is supposed to be ok more or less? I'm posting pics you guys be the judge i just cut theses clones maybe 4-5 hours later pictures were taken also an update on the girls themselves raised lights up to 24" letting them stretch up to my scrog net.

 

[Mikesem420]

The triple diesel not sour found that out the other day is Finally filling the 5 gallon pot out I decided to leave the 2 shark plants in 3 gal smart pots an started lst bushing them out they have been stretching alot since I moved the lights up to 24" almost to the scrog net.. will see how this goes plan on filling the tent on the next run either 5s or 3 gal smart pots of coco coir and a better scrog table if I use all the space I bet I could do 9, 3gal smart pots under a 4x4 scrog table and hopefully a quantum board by then also I gotta make sure I'm on the nice list this year! Haha

I made my own drip system today from a kit of parts from amazon bought a pump 3ft of 1/2 high grade silicon hose and a digital timer sourced everything from amazon and ebay I only spent 20-30$ on it dont mind the mess Im the pics I was just finishing up the lines the barbs on the ts where small so I siliconed them in an that was that I will tuck all the hoses later I have all the stuff to make a dwc system on the way also It was under 75$ for both compared to 150$ for just a dwc bucket set I'll most likely start a new thread when I start that project tho

Girls are almost ready for the flip came in the tent this morning they where jumping for the sky tied them all back down one more feeding before I flush an flip. I have 1 clone that's rooted but I think I over watered it turned yellow I saw a taproot got a little excited smh.. the dwc I'm making is almost done I've got a hlg quantum board on the way should be here tom for the hydro veg once clones show good roots there going into the net pots under the quantum board I used 4inch disk air stones 3 of them in the bottom of the storage bin for aeration. I also fixed the ugly drip system i made somewhat.. it's nice to be able to take 5 gallons of tap water and purge the chlorine in one night. I made a halo for the large sour plant not the best but it works I order .5gal pressure compensaters so I know exactly what I'm pumping should be alot easier to set the system with them instead of just using them like a hose..

 

[Mikesem420]

Finally got my quantum board so excited! I'm using the hlg 100 in 4000k for my hydro veg setup. I'm not sure if the yellowed clone to the left is yellow from deficiency or nute burn I only gave her a small amount of food under 300ppm the other day I thought since it has roots now that it was using up its energy but idkkk what do you guys think?

 

[Mikesem420]

Both my shark clones have rooted in the dwc! I was getting worried they were turning very yellow but there def making a full come back leaves are turning back to a nice green an lots of roots in the water now. I found a girl scout cookie seed in some dispensary bud so I'm sprouting that and a gorilla glue seed to add to the dwc once there rooted in the rockwool.

Update:
My first grow is in full on flower really starting to get pumped now cant wait to see how I did..

I started these guys all around 10/1. I just finished my last feed week 2 of flowering starting week 3 next week. Fox farms feeding scheduale goes 12 weeks I just finished week 6 so give or take another 6-7 weeks till harvest that sound about right?


Everything seems to be going good I just follow my routine Idk if I mentioned it but I added the full fox farm nutrient line all the Bush doctor addons and the powder fertilizers open sesame, beastie bloomz, and cha ching supposed to really help build big fat healthy buds and lots of them. I also ordered terpinator I'm gona try smashing some of this with a rosin press so I want as much trichomes resin as i can get only down side ive herd it takes longer to dry an cure oh well I'm looking for high quality flower over yeild..

If theres any other product I should add now to really blow up my bud and get heavy resin out of it please share any tips!

Is it to late to trim away some smaller leaves this triple diesel plant is just packed I'm afraid the buds are gona suffer from it. It's only the end of week 2 of flowering can I clip away some smaller leaves to get better light penetration or is it to late should I just let them go..

 

[LEDXpert]

Its not too late. Youtube Day 21 defoliation, its a thing. So if you're at day 14, wait a week for buds to set up then trim.

 

[Mikesem420]

Thanks @LEDXpert I just watched a couple I'm gona wait a week like ya said I did a good lolipoping before they flowered but the leaves just keep filling in lol will see how it goes I'll post next week after I do it

 

[Mikesem420]

Update: Week 3 of flower

I'm adding terpinator with this feeding I was told it really makes the buds super sticky. Along with the ff beastie blooms hoping for some potent sticky goodness! I also did a bunch of defoliateing it filled back in again but I can see they have much better light penetration to the tops.

 

[Mikesem420]

So it's only been a few days since I gave the girls some terpinator and all I can say is wow! I watched closely and there already getting frosty, now when I touch them my fingers get all sticky exactly what I wanted cant wait to see them 2 weeks from now..

 

[Mikesem420]

@LEDXpert @West Hippie @Pennywise what do you guys think nute burn or heat stress had the lights a little low 20inches I raised them up to 25-30ish I was up kinda high on the ppm also was following ff guide like every other newbie smh I was at 1950ppm I'm now down to 1100ppm I flushed for 3 waterings just terpinator,calmag,orca. im about to give them there week 4 flowering feed should I go half strength and see what happens around 1050ppm?

 

[Pennywise]

Looks like feed was way to heavy, back off and see if she greens up.
