Lighting Amare se-450, hubbabubba and big sm0

[iampepe]

Good morning

That's a lot of bubblegum!

Looking good! Do you have one that stands out from the others, the first one you look at upon entering your room?
What's up with the empty airpot suspended in the air there on the right. I noticed it on your last picture and it's still there...

Good morning Pepe.

Yes the first one is looking great but not to far ahead of the rest. I think I started these on 8-4 or close to then so there is atleast 20 days left. I tend to let them go a little longer too. The magical pot that levitates in all my pics lol!! It's a 10gallon pot I'm saving for monster plant I'm planning on growing. Was thinking of doing a 4 cob 4x4 space with a hubbabubba

10 gallons, that should make one big lady, so some LST to fill up the 4x4 with a single plant?

 

[BigSm0]

Yes absolutely. It's not going to be needed to fill the space but to help make her huge. Right now 2 are crammed in the 3x3's with plenty of overhang. I'm thinking of doing coco/ perlite or coco/peat mix and just feed here daily. I'm not sure how hbbs will yield just yet but I do know if she is as heavy as everyone says I should pull one fat bitch out of there. Finally some cooler temps here how about you Pepe?

I don't really know a thing about growing in coco, but one thing I've noticed scouring these forums is that a lot of plants start off slow compared to peat. Have you tried coco/perlite before? Scares me, since I don't have the experience. I mixed coco and peat for the GG's and C4's it appears to be working well. Temperatures are much much better now, was tuff trying to keep the ladies cool. The GSK I finished a while back were quite fluffy from the heat, they saw a lot of 90+ days. AC I tried using didn't do much in the heat of the day so I've had the windows open and fans running for three months straight on high. Hope to have that all remedied up by next year with a new room, I wanted it this year but shit happens.

Coco doesn't hold water or nutes so you basically just give the plant both daily. I too have a lot to learn about it first. I hear you on the temp issues. My last 2 runs would have doubled the yield totals if temps were kept lower. 90-95 and humidity 60-75% the whole flower period. My Ac must have been low on refrigerant because it ran for a minute or 2 then shut off. While my dehumidifier could have heated a 1000 sq ft building. I had to raise rh just so it wouldn't run as much. I did run 1500ppm of co2 as well but it didn't seem to make a difference at all.

I did the Ac grow room calculations a dozen times too. A 12k btu Ac should do my room no problem. I even did it based on hps vs efficient cobs and still came in around 8k needed. So I picked up a new window unit and it still runs a lot. You almost count the same speed as the numbers increasing on the thermometer. Since I built the entire room from scratch I did a very good job of sealing and insulating too. I even insulated the floor with ridgid foam before another sheet of plywood and tile. If I grow this many plants next summer I will definitely have a 18k btu minisplit put in.

Hubbabubbasmelloscope's are getting big!! Tough to believe this is only 6 plants taking up a full 4x12

Those are swelling nicely Are those plants not under the Amare's short pheno's?

 

[BigSm0]

The main 6 are under 3 se-450's. 3 others are under a pro4, 4 shorties are under a DIY which isn't turning out well at all.
