Hey Guys,
I'm finally in a legal state again so I've started popping seeds I've had. The strain name is being called Trail Mix because I saved these seeds from some great smoke I got while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. All I know is that is was one of his Blue Dream/ White Widow plants that he started breeding.
I'll be growing in some organic soil I made. This mix consists of:
1.33 cu/ft Peat (10 gallons)
1.5 cu/ft Compost (11.2 gallons)
.67cu/ft Biochar (5 gallons)
1.33cu/ft Buckwheat hulls (10 gallons)
.5 cu/ft Pea Gravel (3.7 gallons)
4 cups Alfalfa
2 cups Kelp
1 cup Neem/Karanja
2 cups Crab Shell
1 cup Limestone
1 cup Gypsum
12 cups Rock Dust
I'll be growing in two locations but the grow I'll be focusing on the most will be a smaller grow in a 24x24x55" tent. For this tent I'll be using 9x Bridgelux V18's mounted on MODULED MEGA 13420-B heat sinks and powered in parallel from a HLG-240H-36A driver. This is my first time using a Constant Voltage driver. I have the Io set at the minimum so currently the lights are running at .366mA each. Do I need to adjust the Vo at all? At max Io the chips would be running at .744mA which would put them around ~34v.
For the V18's I have 3 different CCT's, 3x 5000k 70CRI, 3x 3500k 90 CRI, and 3x 3000k 90 CRI. The lights are on a 21"x21" 1/8" Angle Aluminum frame arranged like this:
30k 50k 30k
35k 35k 35k
50k 30k 50k
This is the layout I decided on to try and even out the spectrum. Will it work out better than a single CCT? No idea. This is just going to be for personal use so I'm not too concerned about quantity. This will just be a grow for fun.
I got everything set up last night to test the lights and make sure everything was wired up properly.
I'm planning on having two plants in the tent at a time. I haven't decided on what I'll be growing them in as far as containers are concerned although I'm leaning towards the Big Bad Bed Mini.
That's about it for now. I'll update as much as I can. Feel free to ask any questions.
