New Grower 1st grow! LSD-25, Pineapple glue, Mass shooter, Chz, Bluechz, Blue Dreamatic, Nrthn Lights

[pugfarmer]

Whats up everyone! Glad to have stumbled upon AFN these past few months as I've been getting more and more tempted to get a autoflower grow going, well I finally got the confidence to give it a try thanks to everyone thats contributed to this informative network.
So my setup is 2 2x4 tents, planning on running 2 plants in each.
Seeds are Mass Shooter by Fast Buds, LSD-25 by Fast Buds, Pinapple glue by Advanced seeds, and Blue Cheese by Expert seeds.
Ordered from seedsman and arrived exactly 2 weeks from date ordered.
Started germinating on 6-16 and already have the gorilla glue popping!

Tent#1 will be lit by 4x pcb boards with 252 3000k lm301b diodes and 36 660nm diodes and powered by 2x HLG Meanwell 240h-2100b drivers

Tent#2 I have 2x marshydro reflector 96 and 2x Galaxyhydro 300watt lights. Still not sure which ones I'm going to use.

Plan to update regularly as things keep progressing.

Thanks! Will be posting lots of pics hopefully if everything goes good haha. The boards themselves get fairly hot to the touch at full power but not insanely, maybe 110-120f/43-48c after a few minutes. Ill run my temp gun on them tomorrow. They off some heat if you put your hand under them, theyre pretty damn intense tho. Might make some heat sinks for them later on but plan on having them dimmed down for the mean time. These boards are ridiculously bright, thinking 4 might be over kill for a 4x2

Looks like a great set up to me! But I’d definitely dial the boards down a bit if you can but I guess my king plus runs a little warm too so I run an a/c unit. Keeps things cool and my plants seem to be loving the temp/Rh being 75-80f and a 45-50%Rh max Rh has been 55%.

Had the Lsd-25 and Blue cheese germinate today! Hooked up a 50k ohm potentiometer to dim the boards and for some reason when I connect the potentiometer turned to max, the lights dim to about 80% from before the dimmer is connected. Maybe i got the wrong ohms.... Oh and after them being on for 30 minutes with the dimmer set to max, the boards stay under 110*F. With some circulation going in the tent im sure theyd run alot cooler.

Thanks Ill keep that in mind! LSD came out today but shes yellow
Maybe started her off with to much water?

Pineapple glue seems happy to be out

Mass shooter germinated last night, now just waiting for the blue cheese and mass shooter to join the party.
