Maple Leaf and Hell Fire

[420 Garden]

I'm mid week 4 of flower. 100% organic in a 5 x 5. 700 wall watts. Never run these strains before but, they have been a breeze. Knock on wood, no real problems so far. Got my beans free of charge. Came across a thread asking " what you want to see from a seed Bank " I looked over the site, made a few comments and they were generous enought to set me up with the 2 I mentioned plus auto Grapefruit OG. How nice was that? I'm definitely going to pick up some of their other strains. Shout out to CoastalMarySeeds!

My Hellfire isn't quite ready to go into flower yet, I still need to clone her out first but she is looking great! Big shout out to @CoastalMarySeeds

Have they been pretty seamless? Mine were not the heavier feeders but you can see afte 4.5 weeks they are pretty frosty.

I'm trying out a one time application feed. So I'll have to see how she does. So far she is enjoying the light feed as a sprout and seedling. I could probably put her into flower but I want her to be big.

Got ya, I didn't/couldn't go much past 3 feet. So a lot of topping and lst. Unfortunately my 5 x 5 is only 6.5 ft.

They're looking great. Really nice looking garden, bet they are going to be monsters.

Thanks for the kind words. What light system you going with? If it's OK to ask.

I got super lucky and got a free light to test out from Cultiuanna. It draws 700 watts from the wall and is a bar design. This is my first grow with it as I had been running Timber Grow Cob's for years. It's very even as far as the light spread and I'm getting about 800-900 umols across the canopy based on my lux meter and a conversion program. I also won a Spider Farmer light in a contest that month and I'm getting a 5x5 tent to run that in for my next cycle. Here's a pic of the tent and the trichomes I'm getting with the new light. I have a grow journal with it if you want to check it out I'm happy to have visitors.

Like it says in the title, I've been lucky enough to receive a light to test from one of our site advertisers, Cultiuanna. Thank you @Cultiuana . I have the CT-660 model I'll be testing for them during this grow which draws 660 watts advertised from the wall and is available for review and...

Very nice! I thought I remembered you winning. Didn't they send you the wrong plug set up ro something? I'm running the 2022 sf4000 @ 15-18 inches off canopy @ 80% till next week then max it out for 2 weeks then back down till the end. Also have a 250 watt King with the sf4000.

I was looking for a ten foot plug in the box but it was attached to the light already. It's way longer than I expected. I won the SF7000 which is one of the big guys, 650 watts if I remember right. It's a board design and I'm getting a bigger tent for it as it's for a 5x5. Having the extra space will be really nice. I'll keep the Cultiuanna light in the 4x4 and use it once I'm done with the Spider Farmer journal. I just need to convince my wife that running two 650 watt lights is going to be okay with the power bill lol.

U got this, cover the savings with led and lower temps, better to grow with...... you know the sales pitch. Lol

She supports it 100% as I pick strains that help with both our medical issues. Five years ago she was iffy about it but now she helps out a ton. I'm lucky as hell in that way.

Yeah, it may be a problem. My last bill was 450. Now I am running 3 tents but two of them have monster lights that I can't even crank to 100% because of the cooling costs. And I am running them at about 60% and it's right at 84°in the tents.

I was worried about the heat before I got this Cultiuanna light setup because it was way more powerful than my previous one. Luckily it runs at 82-84 degrees at 100% which is right where I like to be. The bar design seems like it's pretty good at dispersing the heat. You can grab it at 100% and leave your hand on it without getting too warm.

If I had the lights at 100% I'd also be pulling close to 23 amps through my house, that's a bit more than I'm comfortable with. Also 80%+ is supposed to have Co2 on both my lights and again that shit ain't cheap.
