I would add a screen on the bottom above the rez and then fill all the screens at least half way before flipping. :-) I want to see some towers of bud in there... LOL

Thats some fast growth though so shouldn't take long to fill that closet up. :-) I think those LEDs will make some good bud. I am just curious about density. I feel a second cabinet coming on if these lights work like we all hope they do.

Im plannin to expand my grow space if these LEDs grow as hard as i think they will. Gonna have 5 305w in a 4x8 and 2 305s in a veg 4x4 and a single one for the mother tent.

It's gonna fit 'in between' them kinda. Facing the back wall, so they will each face their own wall and each have 2 plants to themselves. I don't think I'll be able to mount them on the door like I hoped, we'll see though.

The enjoyed the tubes overnight. Everything is perky and settling in.

SomeGuy, I'm going to put a divider between the rez area and the grow space to block light and heat. I don't think an above or below cage will work with the LED's as they don't give off light anywhere but in front of/ below the light itself... does that make sense. THe HID's throw light every which way, but the leds are pretty directional. I think anything not in the direct light would be a waste of plant energy.

I think toward back wall hung with others is best as door mount will shine into other panels more than anything

Yes I see what you mean. I thought you would end up having one from the top but it makes more sense to have them each hit a wall. :-)

I also agree. You would not want them on the door. seems like there is a better way.

I am waiting for an LED Tube. LOL a direct replacement for my cool tube light... :-) If I do use LED I am going to have to fabricate a second cabinet to do it.

It would be horrible to have two flowering cabinets.... LOL

Wow, these rigs make me jealous....I love to tinker, and
those have a lot of that.

I will try these things, in time.

Thanks for sharing Jig!

That is probably a good plan considering the vast difference in flowering times for those two types.

I am hoping these LED lights work out. Not just because I want the real info on these but because Jig needs a winner grow. I can already tell that he is more comfortable with Hydro. :-)

I have other motives though! I figure in about 3 months he will be ready for some more trading. :-)


Jig: Do you always run all the same strain in the tubes or have you ever run different types together in this system?

Flowering time and height is my reasoning.
The indica dome are less that 50% taller than flip, but the Hazes have doubled already lol, and in less than 10 days, but they are under HPS if that makes any difference.

I think I've done 7 or 8 runs in the tubes. only 1 was the same strain. Mostly it was 2 strains, once I ran 5 or 6 strains at once. That wasn't the best idea.

I would like to run more of one type but have a problem wanting all types...LOL I know my yield would go up but that isnt everything all the time.... :-)

Tonight I move the next round up into the flower cabinet. Veg for a week or two I think then flip. Should be interesting this time. :-)

Heading to the hydro store on the way home for some rapid rooters and hydroton. :)

I cant stop trying new strains, and it causes me so many issues.
right now 18 plants and 10 strains...just went down to 16 and 9 now as SM are both males

Oh, forgot to tell you. I got to (and like) Green Mile Hydro. It's in San Bernardino, right around the 10/ 215 intersection. They're pretty cool.

LOL, I am the same way Bass.

My list of breeds currently running, counting all stages,
would be embarrassing.

It is helping though, as I am taking my time, and Vegging
things out better.

Take care,

JD

You know the problem with growing so many (FOR ME) is that one or two will be better than the rest, and I'll just wish all the other jars were that one or two good one. It's like I get to kick myself for growing so many strains for as long as the supply lasts. And the crappy stuff lasts forever, because I never want to smoke it.
