You take good photos mate.. looking nice bro.. happened to have a bullet :rofl: man there's a big difference between what an Aussie has in his pockets :rofl::rofl:
 
AC will go in the flower room this weekend. Had a "cool spell" (70-80 F) the last couple weeks that has really saved the plants. Temps will be in high 80's and getting hotter this week.
Since the veg area is only led I may just leave it vented for now.
Temps have been very easy to control and maintain with the led.

This is my first grow using COB full spectrum leds and since I am growing autos under them I am able to see how they work through the whole grow process.
I'm sold! LoL
The goal is to replace the HPS in the flower room with all COB leds.
What I have noticed is faster plant growth, much cooler temps and very healthy plants.

Awesome journal. I also use hps and am looking to cobs for heat relief. I'm subbed and will be taking notes 4sure!

Thanks for stopping by and posting!

This switch to led and going from tents to sealed rooms with co2 is a learning experience but I have been more than pleased with the results. These plants have been through a lot and still look really good. My plan is to have everything sorted for the next run (the clones i just took and a couple new autos) and have the flower room all COB lighting. If you have any questions I'd be happy to share my challenges and findings if it will help at all.
 
Got the AC installed in the flower room yesterday. Just in time because the main room the grow room is in hit 97 degrees F. The flower and veg rooms stayed between 72-78 F. I don't have the environmental controller in yet but I set the AC on low and was able to maintain temps.

Got a couple shots of the Autos buds starting to form this morning. The four autos drank 4 gals of nutrient solution this morning and will get another 4 gals tonight. I usually water for run off but there wasn't a drop of run off today. They drank everything right away.

I'm using Advanced Nutrients sensi coco without any additional products. Watering at 5.5 ph. Very happy with these nutrients. I will be adding a bud booster and rhino skin (silica) this weekend.
This is my healthiest grow yet. No deficiencies. These plants have been through hell too. And this grow is seven different strains. Had a little trouble with the Grape Murto auto in veg. She grew out of it and is packing on the calyxs now and healthy as can be. She is a little smaller than the others but she has the biggest buds.
The plant I am most impressed with this grow is the Berry Bomb auto. She has been a joy to grow and is really packing on the tricomes now.

I took more photos but they decided to not be on my phone lol. I retake them later
 
I'd like to add even tho I have grown in coco for years, this grow has been different, for the better.
The main reason I feel is my following the advice given Cultivator, specifically his feeding schedule.
When I started this grow I had some Bitonacare nutes left so I used those, then I got some General Hydroponics coco (grow and bloom) for free from my local hydro store and I used those. Then I got Advanced Nutrients coco grow and bloom and have been using that. I've noticed slight differences and I like the AN product the best but in reality the biggest factor was the ppm and frequency of feeding.

I have found that most of my previous issues with deficiencies was simply lockout due to ppm levels too high.

I have just slowly increased the ppm as I see the larger fan leaves slightly yellowing. And I have been checking my runoff.

I started the grow with less than 1/4 the amount per liter that AN recomends and am barely over 1/4 for my biggest plants. I am confident that if I watered with even 1/2 the recommended amount I would have all sorts of lockout issues.
