Thanks ECG

I'm going to do some maintenance work today on my grow. I had some cheap drip pans and some have started to leak so replacing them this morning. Just goes to show that being cheap costs you more in the end.

Yea that's true, im building a new grow space and it will be ready in a couple months. My old house Im growing in now in pretty bad shape. It was my grandparents house and no one lives in it now except for my pitbull and my plants lol. The house is really old and needs to much work. I will probably eventually tare it down...️

It will be nice to have a new grow space - especially one that is in the same location as you. Living in Silicon Valley it is hard to imagine the thought of tearing a place down. Our real estate is so expensive even shacks go for close to $1Million.

I bit the bullet today and bought components to build a Cree COB light. I placed the order with RapidLED around noon and was surprised to get an e-mail from them at 3:00 that it had shipped and will be delivered tomorrow. Yea....

It will not be my ultimate build but thought I was going to need to add some light to my tent so designed a 2x4 with 5 CREE Cobs. I purchased an extra frame for a 3x3 substrate and figured I could later configure it for my small tent.

Your plants are looking great Troy
What are your temps and humidity now
We are getting some temps near 0 and humidity has risen
Can't wait for spring...lol

We are more moderate right now nights drop down to about 7 and day time 20-21. I am sure you would get a laugh at us when we say... brrrrr it's chilly tonight.

My tent is running at 23 with a humidity of 53% The temps drop to about 19 at night (which is 1PM - 5PM)

Are you having trouble keeping your temps and humidity up?
 
Cool, that's what I'm going to do. I'm either going to timber and order a diy cob kit or I'm gonna do a diy QB setup...️

Thanks MadDabber - I've been wanting to go with COB's for awhile but was intimidated by them. I've been watching lots of tutorials on COB's and Drivers and finally felt I had enough knowledge to size my driver for my current needs and be able to upgrade it as I got more comfortable with them. I figured that if I ran into problems I would run up to RapidLED, as they are only abut 20 minutes away.

Looks good Troy amazing how quick those grow! Nice work. Yea I had a hard time LST with fabric pots. I think the next time I put plants in them I'll wrap them in chicken wire just so I can have something to tie off. Lol. I sure like the way all the buds grow when the branches are spread. As I progress here I'm seeing the advantages of scrog systems.
My first learning of what buds did was when the top cola broke on a SD auto with weight. All the buds on the broken cola pointed up and got super fat. I'm excited to see what your whole plant like that will yeild!! Keep up the good work
 
Hi Troy, your ladies are lush, no doubt about it.

Carol, meh, when you're on a schedule, mutants become time-suckers. But in their defence they produce some of the most beautiful plants seen.

Dee, is leading the parade, her growth over night is spooky, and exciting, she has responded well to your LST.

Mrs. G, will she get LST too?

The overnight growth spurts are so promising that I wish I had more autos seeds but next time I'll get more indica.

Your garden is inspiring to me. After I asked you about lights I added some to my girls and poof overnight they grew half an inch.

We are growing at the same time so I'm kinda using your journal as a look into the future and how autos grow so healthy, once I know what I'm doing.

Exceptional work...:Love:

Congrats on getting your COB's, you can't go wrong.

aaaaand, REPS for recipe. :)

She's my favourite - :Love: - Great job dude.

I think my favorite is Dee. I guess because I have been doing so much work with her.

Olga is a really strong Ultimate and I think she is shaping up to be a good producer. The was topped between the 3 and 4th node. It is incredible how much she is growing.
 
Arrival of my COB parts - Received less than 24 hours after ordering from RapidLED
