Steve,
I actually let them run for about an hour. When I first turned them on they both spike at about 435 then after 15 min they start going down until they stay between 419-423. I would have thought if they were willing to do anything that would have been offered. I guess this will give an opportunity to try other lights.

Is that Crower as in crower cams and cranks? I would love to see a grow with that light if you do end up getting it. Keep me posted.
Thank you and welcome to the grow!

Re: Surfinstoned's 720watt LED, god's gift, hydro grow
Thanks Surfin I adjusted my ppms down a bit for my gods gift seems to be liking it, leaves perked back up and the damage to the leaves does not seem to be spreading and the ppms have been pretty steady as well as the PH so I know I found the equilibrium finally
Thanks for the tips on the feeding schedule. Thanks for the props as well
It looks like you care for your ladies and do not leave much to chance like me. If you have a good attention to detail and you keep it simple you will have the same and better success than my grows Looks like you are right on track to being a experienced grower yourself keep up the good work. Oh and I use bubble buckets so i do not have a flooding schedule they are DWC buckets.

Re: Surfinstoned's 720watt LED, god's gift, hydro grow
How many frozen 2 liters do you use for what volume of your reservoir? Care to elaborate on it, I'm doing the frozen bottle thing too, once you get used to its not bad, but an automated chiller would be the Shitttt
Yum000,
No worries about the questions that's what we are all here for and I realize that my journal is not the most detailed but I will get better my next time around! You can totally get 8 buckets in that space check it out I put together a crude demo for you in a 36" x 36" box real quick so you can visualize (9) 2 gal buckets. They look smaller without plants in them.
I am doing 12 plants right now, you can do as little as 1 plant and go up to 48 plants with the same brain unit. I do not have a water chiller right now, I am using frozen 2 liter's to keep the temp down I have a system that works great for me, only have to do it twice a day! Res temp always within 63-69 degrees. I do plan on getting a chiller for my next crop though. Feel free to ask as much as you want I spent 2 hours with a guy at my local hydro shop this system looked like the best for my needs.

Re: Surfinstoned's 720watt LED, god's gift, hydro grow
Thanks for the info on the amps. Now, I know why. Can't wait to see your expansion! Will you be running the same system or trying something new? Same LED or different? Recently I put back the 600w hps in one tent, and combined two 180w LED for the other tent. Single 180w LED alone does not give enough punch in 4x4 space. Already knew that, but tried it anyway. Looks like I might have to upgrade to 300w per tent. How many weeks will you flower these?

Hey Anomoly123,
Glad to hear the girls are perking up for you! Did you grow your gods gift from clone or seed?

Re: Surfinstoned's 720watt LED, god's gift, hydro grow
Thew1sest,
I have a 35 gallon res but most of the time there is only about 18-23 gallons at a time in my res. i have about 13 frozen 2 liters that i use to keep my res cool. In the morning before the lights go on (8am) i put 4 2 liters in and then change them with 4 fresh ones around 2:30 or so then 4 more fresh ones when the lights go off at 8pm so actually i lied i change 3 times a day i think in my original post i said twice, what can i say I'm a pothead!!! I will for sure be getting a chiller for my next grow, having 8 2 liters in your freezer takes up alot of room.

Re: Surfinstoned's 720watt LED, god's gift, hydro grow
Hey HighDive whats up?
No problem for the info. I think i will stay with this bucket system, I love how easy it is to use,clean and break down if needed. I have seen a lot of cool setups on this forum and although I'm tempted i want to master this set up first before i move on to something else. Another reason is I'm not done with this room yet i still need to get a water chiller, and then the last thing maybe on my 3rd grow a co2 system. I want to get a system down so that i can try for 8-10 crops a year.

Re: Surfinstoned's 720watt LED, god's gift, hydro grow
I grew this gods gift from clone and I started her at 400 ppms just like every other clone ever but it didnt like that at all, it was very strange. Ya they are looking so good at the moment finally!! For a while I was really thinking about scratching the hydro cause my soil plants are doing so amazing right now and take NO maintenance compared to hydro. Here is what I think my major problem was. Before my initial transplant to hydro I forgot to soak the hydroton in R/O water for a few hours, remove all that clay dust and let the ph normalize within the medium. Soooooooo for the first few weeks my PH was like a tennis ball at wimbelton lol it was just going crazy jumping from 5.5 to 7.0 in just a few hours!! On top of that I had one plant that liked nutes and the other that was very picky so it was hard. Now they are doing so well I dont want to change anything lol But I need to do a res change. I hope it all stays on track.

Re: Surfinstoned's 720watt LED, god's gift, hydro grow
Hey everybody!
You all have been so great, helpful, and supportive but I must ask for your advice/help once again. I'm trying to figure out what strain to grow next and need some advice from all the growers out there. I need a strain that's pretty tough since I'm still learning that's why I went with the gods gift because I was told it was a hard plant to kill. Lol here are my choices:
OG Kush
Sour Diesel
Green Crack
Bubblegum
Blue Dream
White Widow
Fire OG Kush
Lemon Haze
Master Kush X Sour Diesel
Berrijuana
Heavy Duty Fruity
Ischence
Lemon Diesel
Lambsbread
Blueberry
LA Confidential
LifeSaver
God's Gift
Mango Kush
Mendo Purp
Granddaddy Purple
What do you guys think?

Re: Surfinstoned’s 720watt LED, god’s gift, hydro grow
I'd also look at "marketability" of your next strain. I would agree with Crower, OG's are always a popular one. I have the Heavy Duty Fruity in my seed bank (along with 20 other strains, went crazy on the last seed order).
Are you planning on seeds or clones for your next grow? One of the collectives in North County has a good selection of seeds and clones. I can PM you the name if you need it, although there are some very good ones down South as well.

Re: Surfinstoned's 720watt LED, god's gift, hydro grow
That's why I have 20+ strains in my own little seed bank. Trying to work my way through them to see which are going to be my top 5 for my rotation

Re: Surfinstoned's 720watt LED, god's gift, hydro grow
Thank you everyone for all your great advice! That's a nice size seed bank Steve. I Have a "clone guy" that's local and that's his list of mothers! Really cheap and healthy clones, that's where I got the gods gift from. I really do not want to hassle with extra lighting clones/mothers/seeds. The clones are only 6.00 each as long as you buy 10 or more I think I will just go this route for my first few grows. I think I might go with fire og kush!
Grow update coming soon with plenty of picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
