Nismo's First Grow - 2 x 600 Watt - CKS Purple Kush - 4x4

[Nismo12]

I was thinking about going led but I like my setup currently. Running 1050 watts currently and they seem to love everything I do for them. I'll post some pictures up tonight. I'll post a week time lapse this weekend.

Also I picked up another new humidifier today it has a digital set point and readout and a fan on it so I hope it brings up the humidity. I have a couple grand tied up in this but I justify it because the yield of one harvest will cover the entire setup cost

Oh and another thing that is exciting is that I bought another camera (yes I love technology) so I can see my babies anytime anywhere. It is a security camera with night vision and can pan, rotate, and zoom. The whole nine yards. Excited. Now just waiting on a bundle of beans...will know more about that in 2 hours lol

I love the idea of time laps camera for sure but if you have any light come on during night cycle you run the risk of your plants going hermi and that would really suck

Well night vision uses infrared light. So it's not visible light so I don't think that will be an issue

I know my LED's have IR lights in them so the plants do get something from IR, personally just willing to take that risk.

I'll have to check out out. Thanks for the heads up

For sure let us know what you come up with for answers to IR, you have a great idea and I could see many of us trying it

Now that's high-tech gardening

Well i found a chart saying that anything over 720nm is safe. The camera runs at 850nm. So itll be safe. Everywhere i was seeing confirmed it also.

Well here is a quick update. Everything is going great! Nothing new to report. Regular waterings and feedings. Humidity will hopefully go up with the new humidifier. Also got my camera installed. Oh, I did some additional topping on Monday. New growth is awesome. So here they are!

Pretty cool, so the camera is set up on wifi?

Yup. Had to hook it up to my router just so i could connect to it and set up the wifi. Then after that it has wifi and i can see them anytime anywhere.

Great idea for when you have to leave for any amount of time

Thanks! I'm going to start doing some LST to even out the canopy so I can get my SCROG in there. Going to flip in 2 weeks I think. Maybe 3.

 

[Nismo12]

Well here is a quick update from last night. So I did a little more topping on the 4th nodes. I think itll be the last topping. Who knows. I gave the 2 oldest girls almost full nutrients as well. But before all of that I did some LST. Which in all honesty looks pretty cool. I have to do a little more editing on this weeks time lapse then ill get it up here.

before LST

And just to show you how much they grown in 5 days.

Looking good bro. Just a suggestion but is there anyway you can get your temp and rh gauge up to canopy level? It's on the floor which is likely more cool itself but the canopy is even higher. In a tent even a few inches can have major temp differences. I noticed this in both of mine. My canopies are at about 72 in veg and 73 74 in flower. Looking good tho bro!
