No doubt dude, can't wait for mine to look like that! I'm actually thinking about adding 3000k or 3500k or perhaps both to finish my array. I have 8 spaces left and that's if I use all 8x 2700k 90 cri lol

For some reason I thought you had 3000's, I was thinking of Fans! Are your 3500's 80 cri?

Yea, mine all 80cri. The veros run a little redder than Cree. 3000k Cree=3500k vero

Kinda of why I was wanting to do couple runs, to see how these are going to do before I change anything. That's the one thing I like about the Cree's, you can get 5 per hlg240 1400 driver.

Quickly threw some wiring into one of the panels so I could get it hung up since I only have enough drivers for 1 of 4 panels atm. I'll rewire everything when I get my pico harnesses tomorrow and maybe throw some 2700k in the mix too.

The new panel (which is the CORRECT size) dwarfs my 1st build which you can tell now was off an inch or two here and there haha

Finally bushing out and doing a bit if stretching.
The nodes are staying really close together tho.
I'm just using the Blurple to boost the spectrum since both panels that are up are 4000k's so far.
I've also took off all the reflectors and have been running them about 8" from the canopy.

The Critical's and the Blue Dreams have all been transplanted to 7kg containers (about 1.89 gallon)
I put a bunch of holes for air pruning/aeration, I ordered more 3 gal smart pots but I didn't want to make these little guys strangle themselves, which the Blue Dreams had started to as they just took off in the root zone.

Found out the Freedom Dreams are reg autos with high chance of males so I planted a little SOG and weeded out the puney ones and am just going to see what happens.

I've also added a bit of compost to the top of the BD autos and the WS and have also fed them an improvised tea of compost, pro mix organic premium vegetable and herb mix (hot organic mix) maxicrop liquid seaweed and Floralicious and a bit of brown sugar. No clue if the brown sugar had any effect but I had no molasses (it's on the list). I didn't strain it I just kept mixing before I scooped some out and distributed the sludge lol I also aerated it for 24 hours.

Chips are all mounted from top to bottom the chips go 4000k/80cri, 2700k/90k, 3500k/80cri, 4000k/80cri. The second rail is the same but the 3500k & 2700k are switched. Wiring commences now.
I'll be doing another update tonight as well! White Shark is confirmed female, I killed Charlie and we'll have some new babies soon that I'll be introducing as soon as they pop.

Be careful with bag seeds, I had 3 last grow. They sucked, I'll never take buddies word again, just had little problems the whole grow.
Damn Canna, that's going to be a badass light. You can see the different kelvins in the pic. It's going to be a BEAST .

To be quite honest I know the bud was shit but wanted to experiment a little but now that I'm a little more Knowledged I'd like to get a little more serious and find some good seeds somewhere. I almost feel like I'm wasting time with this seed because it's growing so slow. It sprouted on 4/20 and only has about 3 nodes and is less then a foot tall. I'd like to know how far along my plant should be if it were on track

The 1st couple weeks are slow, but it should be growing pretty good now. Mine were slow also, idk if just old seeds or what. I had problems with them entire grow. Idk it might turn out to be ., hard to say

My Blue Dream Autoflowers and my Blue Dream Fems are from Humbolt Seeds, I wanted to grow the true genetics but I purchased them from a 3rd party seed vendor.
It's good to get your feet wet with cheap or free seeds to start but like Buck says you can often run into problems with bag seed. I am currently running a White Shark and a MK Ultra that were both bag seeds from some top shelf so we'll see what happens there.
With Leds Calmag apparently is far more important I'm finding. I'm still trying to dial it in, at 2.5ml/gal atm but I'm going to try some floranova and it's got a bunch in it so I may be able to scale back instead of bump it up.
