Lowrider72's Under 800W Growroom Presents: 2x 315W CMH, Multistrain, Coco Grow

Ok, Update time...

Really dont talk much about my nutes etc, so heres a bit, no secrets here... Knowledge is power....power costs money....so grow good buds...:yummy:

These amounts are all to 30L of tap water. These nutes formulated

Im using House & Garden Cocos A+B , 2 part nutes. Week 5 , 75ml of each.
Last couple of weeks and this week the Root Excelorator is stopped to focus on budsite growth.
Amino Treatment is used at 25ml to keep growth up, is also silicas.
I use 2.5ml of dtip clean , so when I feed the old salts get flushed properly out of the medium.
Then theres 25ml of Multizyme, an enzyme, also helps dissolve dead roots, which helps,lessen gnat attraction to rotting roots, even a little.
Then lastly there is Bud XL, helps tranaport sugars,from the bracts to the fruit.

Next week they get PK added but its called Top Booster. Added for a week, then, I have to flush. I dont flush at all, all grow. Then you have to because the Shooting Powder you add after for 3 weeks is super strong.
Its worth it, will show you some stonker buds ....if I can keep them upright....

Ok, some dodgy shots of the Flower tent, lights off, not my best under a green light, will get better ones when lights come on.....






Hope that hold,you off till I can get some decent shots....

Its a jungle out there man..... Lol
:ganjamon:
Not bad for 615w in whole tent, penetration improved with 2 lights.
Thats HPS buds at LED power...maybe even less than LED.
Can they go 315w in 4ft x 4ft and get those results on those size plants?
You do the sums..
 
They look so good! You must be excited haha
Cheers mate, Yeah pretty stoked, the clawed Gelat OG shits me, but the rest make up for it.
Break time now, just cleaned up in room....
 
Now for a Week 5 Day 2 Flower tent and Bud show......











Feel my 630 watts of CMH wrath.....feel it.....feeeelllll it!
:ganjamon:
 
Hey Sly nice of you to pop past.

You can SEE the stink :laugh::yummy:

They look crazy! So good. Can’t wait to have big stinkers myself lol
Lol. Thanks Herb. And thanks for taking an interest, and not being a sheep following blindly.
That grow is nothing yet, Im not even dialed in.
I been copping a bit of shit around here about my growing by so called EXPERTS.
Had a lot of support from decent people though.
Im under new lights, new strains, smaller pots, less electricity and still kicking arse out of my comfort zone.

Apparently when I stand up for myself and show em up, they wanna bandy together and be biatches.

One of the subjects is feeding plants in coco.
If you want Fungas Gnats, Root Rot, Pythium, a whole range of problems and lockouts caused by over watering and wasting nutes... Feel free.
Watering once a day...that is completely un- neccesary. More than that in Coco is a dead set joke.
Its about plant uptake, not forcing it on them.

Also a lot of these so called heros think comparing 24/7 autos that yield big under more wattage than my 315w in 16sq ft or 4ft x 4ft makes them better.

I grow with 1/2 the power they use, even with LED. CMH is king in commercial med grows.

I use NO enviromental control. Sorts shit strains from champions.

I count VEG from when my seed is cracked. So 4 weeks veg is from sprout.

I treat plants like plants, they survive and thrive in the wild without the bullshit.

My proof is in my grows, money talks and bullshit walks...
 
It shows bro!

I was actually watering once or even twice a day at the start due to so many people giving me that advice and ended up with mould and other issues. I now water every 2-3 days and I feel they’re the happiest they’ve been so I’m with you on that one for sure :high-five:

How long are those girls going to be in flower for before you turn into the Queen of hearts and take off their heads??
 
Looks fantastic lowrider bud sites everywhere :bravo:

Don't sweat the so called experts you clearly know what your doing

I got my second cmh running in my 4x4 now my temps are in the low 80's with them both in there and my humidity is around 35% what do you think am I pushin to hard
 
Are there deeper saucers for fabric pots or something else anyone uses do deal with the increased run off.
You can use saucers, BUT, you need to have a lil base under the pot to keep it off the base of the saucer.
Maybe some 100-150mm pvc pipe cut in 1-2" pieces...just stops the pot or coco wicking the salty feed mix back into the pot. If your ever curious ppm your run off, see how much lower it gets after you get pots,out of run off.

Hey mate mind if I pull up a seat?

Coco grower here too man and your grow is great insight into CMH's as that will be my next purchase i think.
Feel free mate, heres a beanbag and a pillow, light up! More than Welcome.
Welcome Dirty. :ganjamon:
Dont let me influence you on lighting, make your own decision, but based on research. They are exceptionally good for the wattage they use, and I thought plants loved HPS , these lights suprised me. I know LED have some amazing results but if you go that way and they cant cover 4ft x 4ft in flower with good penetration for under 300w...then CMH is better.

Cheers brutha, this is not theory, it is a fact. Your plants reach for the lights now eh? Thats how you know.
In fact I challlenge those guys to water once a day, and seevif it even makes a difference to their plants, I doubt it..

I grow in coco and water 4 times a day in small amounts, large Low EC feed on Saturday then Dry Sunday. I have found my yields have improved, have no lockout or pests and just finished a 1 plant , Fabric pot 1200W HPS 4x4 grow and pulled 31oz.

It is a weed, it will survive and thrive in many conditions.
Now you might need to water more often under 1200w hps. Its hotter.
Still I think raise your ec , feed less often and you will get even better results.
I do respect your opinion though and you are on par for yield I would pull before under 1200w hps.
Hoping to pull same yield, half the wattage. Fingers crossed!

Thanks mate, I try to do the plants justice.
I take things to heart a lil , but only because I taught people to grow for last 8-9 years in coco.... No bullshit, just results. I want people to succeed, not be disheartened and give up.

Your doing great mate rh could be higher but mine is 25-35% most of the time. Temps, as long as you get no burn is fine. Cannabis outside here grows in summer in 45C.
Root temp is where its at. The ground is always pretty constant.
In winter Im around 22C-25C but can get lower. Anything above 15C to about 35C is fine. THC is,affected by heat, so I like lower temps.

I only give advice on stuff I learnt the hard way, so others dont go through the same shite. I learn heaps here everyday, stop learning your dead. Lol

Thanks for the kind words.

I use pot elevators in my saucers works great keeps the pot out of the run off and gives increased air flow to the pot. The run off evaporates in a day or 2

Nice stands N420!
Bet they work great.
I would wash those fabric pots with drip clean or low phed water to draw salts out before the next grow. Do like them though.
 
Hahahaha... Legend...probably not....
I can read one on the side of a map but...
o_O. Lol
I hope your plants are better than mine after you get dialled in... :Rasta:
Your plants have been looking better and better every time I see them.

I have a few problems, that clawing Gelat OG.... Just likes to torment me...lol
And got a couple of leaf blemishes that are probably from lights, and Im not sure the carbon filter is,going to cut it later....
Dont think any grow goes 100% smooth.

Cheers Dean.
