In the Valley LED Strip Build

Hey folks, little update.

SO i got a new Meanwell driver for this build. HLG-320H-15B, and will have the pot tomorrow. That should help keep it cooler. Dang this sucka is heavy,lol.. Anyways, picked it up for $30 SHIPPED.

Bush growing nicely, day 60 from seed, we are 18days from flip, 8 days since first pistol appeared. 125 watts, Ive noticed she doesnt like more then like 22,000 lux. per my meter. (350 par )

Gave 1 feeding of MegaCrop, ( seedling/Clone Routine ) because its already pretty hot soil from the Kindsoil/FFOF mix. But atleast it gets the good stuff from the MC. Its been 2 days since the MC feeding, and I can see a difference already.

This plant doesnt stretch after flip. this is the 3rd time growing it, so any growth is pretty much just stacking buds.

I also have 2 FireOG seeds that should be poppin thru the coco any minute now. Those are CoCo/FFOF 50-50 mix, and will be getting just MC. They will be grown under the Perfect Sun Mini. Getting another tent, so this current plant can grow out under this strip light, and the other will be strictly FireOG and Perfect Sun Mini.

This is a good strain of FireOG. Its in my avatar from last run. I used the Mars300 on that one.

So, thats the update, thanks for peekin in

Hey people,

Well, the Perfect Sun Mini is here. Hummmmm. Didnt get another tent yet. FireOG is just coming thru coco, clones are seeming to be rooting, seeing new growth. Pic does no justice, these buds are almost 1inch tall. So 9 days isnt bad . and these buds get pretty swelled up, under CFLs they were nice sized concidering

These strips seem to be doing a good job. I think the slow growth is due to my PH not being low enough. I think the RO water Ive been using isnt 6.5. SO i changed that, (dont have PH meter, went thru 2, both junk) as to why i went to PH perfect AN nutes. Then, FFof and Kindsoil is 6.5, so didnt need one.

Now im coco/FFoF 50% each, and using 6.5 for these. They like it. Those last sprouts got to 34 inches tall in 21 days in this mixture. Now, Ive added MegaCrop and its fruiting nice.

So, experiment over, Perfect sun mini is going in. I want to get the most of this current grow, and i expect this PSmini to do it some good.

Didnt seem like alot of interest in this build, although i thought it was pretty dam slick. Got the new Meanwell driver im putting in later and a potenciameter needs install today, so it has to come out anyways.

So, thru this testing phase of this strip light,
at 12inchs with all strips on, running at 11.5 volts CV, using 210 watts

Both spectrums @12inchs--34,000 lux, 540 par
3000k 14,000Lux- 220par
5000k 23,000Lux- 365par

I dont like my lights that close, throws alot of heat down on the plant. The Powersuppy also throws alot of heat, but the inside stays pretty cool at 88F.

Like to see what the difference will be with the MeanWell hooked up. Big difference between this $16 ebay PS and this $100+ Meanwell driver Id expect.

So, stay tuned for that one.

PerfectSun shinning in,

Will use the strip build for Veg cycle, and PSmini for Flower.

Later will have new stats with new driver in strip light.

day 68, 16 days flower

I have to say, that is a really nice job you did on that fixture.

Thanks HamNEggs, appreciate it.. her is day 21 flower, but under the Perfect sun mini, They arent to popular around here, lol.. Seems no one likes this light.

Yo people, update for ya. Got something like 19grams from that bigger plant. horrible, lol..

FireOG finally took off, she is still in veg, at day 93 now. She is preflowering, but im not flipping for another 2 weeks. In the process of building a COB Rig, using my strip box i made.

4 Luminus cxm22,s 340H-1400B meanwell.

So the plant will have like 1 week to get used to the COBS before flipping.

Soooo many tops on this chick. I counted about 60 true potencial colas, and thats not including the inner hidden sites. think i hit 600grams on this one.

I transplanted into a 10gallon fabric pot, and using a watering ring and pump setup monday.

Using Megacrop, Open seasemee, Recharge, cocoloco, calmag.

She is going to be a monster, big ass tumbleweed.
