Here's a pic of the clones went in to spray them down and make sure the timer in the 4x8 was working, which it is :bigjoint: You can see the 2 cuts over to the left of the tray that look so so everyone else is looking good and like they will have roots shortly, I was very nervous about taking this many cuts in this manner but am happy with how it's going so far:

And a shot of the Doggie Dreams #3 seedling that I transplanted very recently. sprayed it down too with the clones, they're getting water mixed with my method 1 pps:

Hey evil,,,, been a minute since i looked in here. I read a couple random pages and was hoping to see if you decided which lighting tech you decided on for long term.

I will be transitioning the HID 3x3 to COB's first, more of the same AutoCob's I have comprised of the Citizen 1812 3500K's, and then get a few runs more with the COB's in both 3x3's and most likely transition the 4x8 to the same lights. I prefer them over the QB's as the plants grow more like my HID's and the single engines are god sent when you constantly run different strains and I will start to rotate plants in at different times to try and harvest a couple of plants every 2-3 weeks instead of the entire 4x8 at the same time. They're just so easy to use and plug and play. If I end up moving the entire grow to them All three spaces will be using less power than just the 4x8 is right now. But I want to do more testing before making that decision. My soil will continue to get better as it is re-used and in a run or two should be on point. Then I can get a really good look at the COB's vs the HID's.

I have been giving this thought and I would start off with 12 of the AutoCob's if I make the switch in the 4x8, 6 on each half. This would be roughly 650 watts vs the 1200 watts in there now. I could also leave the Blue MH in the 3x3 and instead of making it COB's in there could take down one of the raptors and put 6 COB's on one side of the tent for side by side hmmmm..........could do a run with all the same strain on both sides...........

Dammit decisions, decisions, lol.

Hope all is well brother haven't seen you around in a minute.

Greenhouse is bumpin. Been contemplating those octopots we discussed awhile back so i can get rdwc production and soil taste. I will say the best advancement my gardens have enjoyed is bumping rh to 70% till week 4.

that one line really ties those two songs together, huh?

speaking of LZ, have you heard Greta van Fleet? very Zeppelinesque to me.
Man I'm sorry I'm just having one of my nights and music moves my soul, I use to play the drums and the sax. I'm a real weirdo in high school I was capt of the defense in football, played 1st chair sax in jazz band and took honors science for fun. I don't know what I am sometimes just trying to find my way again but now I'm a lot older............

why the hell are you apologizing? I'm only a nerd, never was a jock. I hung with the freaks but didn't really fit in there either. I tried to learn guitar but just couldn't do it. Not an artist at all but I did play bass for a while.

I bet I'm older than you, searching for a path in life.

Never apologize.
