John's Wicked Bloom Room: Powered By Budget LED

[John Wick]

Howdy @DoG41 glad to see that you made it over to the "Bloom Room".
If you have any questions, there's a bunch of great Grower's here that would be happy to help you out.
Just ask away .

So the outside temp is 71* and the inside temp is 73* with the light's gradually turned up to 80%.

The RH (humidity) inside the tent is at 56. I'm running the dehumidifier at 55 outside the tent and as the bud's start to thicken down the road I will slowly lower the RH level accordingly.

John! Hey buddy! I'm late but I'm here now.

I'm usually late to everything, so better late than never I always say.
Great to have you aboard.

All caught up! Wow they looks so big already! I missed out a bit and wow that stretch already is insane. Your lights are also really amazing. It looks like daylight and like actually like daylight. I'm super intrigued at the budget LED's but after reading some responses on $299 is still out of my budget. I will invest into these lights however when I become a bit more serious cause I'm really impressed! I work in sales and am a Lil jelly at what you are doing in this grow haha but all peace, humbleness and happiness! Good vibes all around super grow and glad I'm caught up now

 

[DonkeyDick]

Good morning Mr. Donkey D, how's you body been treating you lately?
Are you planning on starting up a new grow in the near future?

Morning JW. Since you ask - ‘treating’ is not how I describe it. Unexplained weight loss and associated pain has taken one third of my body away. It will soon be economically viable to send myself by post.
Thank goodness for this this great medicine of ours. I have my next lot in bloom already in my Stable Of Impermanence, linked below.

Cheers

I don't quite understand everything about your health, but every time I see you post I think about it.
I say a prayer for you every so often, I'm glad that MJ is helping you.
You're a good guy DD.

Got my light ordered!!! I’ll tag you @John Wick to help monitor my transition to LED when my girls are ready to flower. Thank you for this journal and all the details.

Got my light today! Less than 48 hrs after order placed. Just incredible service!!!

 

[Elevated Lighting Company]

Been looking at OBs for a while now, thanks for showing the results

One question I see you have placed the DRIVERS outside of the tent.
Do you by chance have a laser type temp gauges ? I am curious to know
the Temp coming off the Driver ? and at what percentage they are running
when readings are taken.

Also if you can take a reading on the back side of the Light ? I would be
curious to know the temp being generated at that point also.

Thanks for posting this

Hello Gazzo:

Let us get the readings for you. We will update you soon.

Best,

Budget LED

Hey DD prayers going your way. Healing blessings to you. May your harvest help you.

I like it so far, I mix in extra pearlite for better aeration, I only have DWC to compare it to. I am about to start another grow and was wanting to try a mix of 50/50 Happy Frog and Roots Organics Soiless but still on the fence about that since I am use to just the Happy Frog and pearlite was just wanting to broaden my horizons and test out other mediums.
Looking forward to watching your ladies flourish!

Thank you, I'm looking forward to it too. I heard that FFHF is a hotter mix than FFOF.
DWC, seems like a fun thing to try out too.
I think in the spring I'm going to try Coco. I finally bought a great pH pen so that's a move in the right direction.
I'm tired of the mess that comes with soil, who knows maybe I'll do both at the same time just in case my first run in Coco doesn't turn out well. Lol

Wow DK I haven't been able to find you, welcome to the Bloom Room, right now we're all flying high at an altitude of 30,000 feet and never plan to come down.
Super glad that you made it.
Has the weather finally warmed up in SA?
How did my Girlfriend "Shorty" turn out?
Now that I see you're growing, I'm going right over and get a space before the tickets to your new grow are all sold out.
You come a long way in a very short time, congrats.

Lol that’s something I would definitely do! A good PH pen is an absolute must! I went thru two cheap ones then finally got a good one and never looked back and also need a good PPM meter went thru one then the second one I got was good to me for the rest of the run. Dang I heard the opposite on those two soils. Now ya got me wondering. I was originally going to go with FFOF but was doing some research and FFHF kept popping up so I decided on that one. I really hate mucking about with the soil and really enjoyed the DWC as it was easier to control and know exactly what the medium was doing at any given moment and was a way easier fix when things got outta whack. I’d love to try coco too I’m still on the fence because I’m afraid to mess it up. I really wanted to do DWC again but my joints haven’t been behaving and towards the end last time those buckets just got sooooo heavy for me to get back and forth to the kitchen and couldn’t get my man to help at all and my son was a hit or miss to help so I may not go that route this time unless I think of an easier way to change the buckets. It really did become easy as far as care went once I figured out what the heck I was doing!
I’m interested to see what ya decide on! I’m gonna try and make up my mind by tomorrow so I can get all the goods on hand.

Excellent, I told you these guys were great!
I forgot which one you ordered
Silver Fox and also all the details.
I know that I mentioned this before, but please remember
The "Bloom Room" is yours too, please feel free to post as much as you want here. I really would like to see what your set up is and can do.
"Mi Casa too Casa".
I'm so stoked for you.

Hey Ms. CandyCane, I couldn't handle lifting up fiver's anymore so I won't even consider DWC.
Remember, this is the only body God has given you, better take care of it.
Why not try out Coco instead ?
It's not as heavy and very little set up for you because basically you already have the expensive stuff.
About the PPM tester, do you have a suggestion on which one I should buy and where?
As far as me, I'm going to take a break after I finish this one until spring unless I pick up some new veg light's to try out.

Once your use these Light's it's pretty hard to go back to blurple again.

Anyhow, I hope you stick around because when I'm ready, I'll have a bunch of questions to ask you.


Green day's, Comedy and Peace to you.

What's in the box.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX!??

Great start to your journal!!

I’ve read the first page, and just a lil too busy to do all 8 pages of catch up, but I soon will!

Hey Back, thanks for stopping by, yep there's a lot in the box!
Do what you gotta do, hopefully I'll see you later.

Hey, I wanted to thank you for the great job with my buddy DK.
Excellent, Brother!

I will try and get a screen shot of the PPM meter I have and send it to ya. I’ve been doing some reading and I have decided to go with Coco mixed with 30% pearlite. I have a huge bag of pearlite left over so I’ll only need to get the coco. I have decided to go with Mother Earth Coco because I really wanted to use Roots Organics Soiless but they don’t have it at my local hydro shop and Mother Earth is available and had some great reviews and specifically with cannabis.
I’d love to try some different lights but maybe in the future I can upgrade and these plug and play Full Spectrum LEDS haven’t been bad at all on electricity and the heat is easier to deal with.
I agree with you on taking care of this one body we are given it’s already getting me back for all the crap I did to it in my twenties! The Lupus does enough damage I don’t need to add to it.
I’ll definitely be here for ya on any questions you may have and answer to the very best of my ability. I’ll get back to ya ASAP on the PPM meter.
Happy growing

 

[candycane]

This is the PPM meter that I have but it appears it’s out of stock at the moment

This one also has good reviews and may actually get it as a backup myself

I’m sure there are better ones out there but these are affordable and the one I have has been good to me thus far!
Have a great night
