New Grower DP AutoXtreme, AutoUltimate and one Automazar grow

[F.N.]

Well some will say I have overkill but I just find it enough I have three apollo six 2014 edition's 200 true watts a 1200 watt cob a true 660 watts and a 300 watt 155 true watts from ledlightschina ebay the apollo's i bought off of a ebay dealer out of the states. They are great lights all of them are working great the 1200 watt cob is really bright. I probably do not need that much but I am achieving 1gram per watt. I would go with a 1200 watt mars 11 and two of there old school 300 watt actual draw should be half and angle the two 300 watter's and have the 1200 watt as high as she can go in the middle. You will have zero heat issues and try to keep the RH at 50 to 55%. But that is me bro some might say different. Check out my first grow it is blogged by dutch passion seed company. and well you are there vote for picture of the month if you like mine vote for me if not i understand. PS the blog is under Fairlynew.

DAY 31

a little update.

The test this far has shown that HS1 performs in veg well and Tang schedule works (plants are beautiful). HPS (600w) closet dries too quickly in comparison to HS1 closet. HPS closet gets necrotic spots on lower fan leaves, so i would say its a lockout (too much feeding, not enough water cause of the temps). I will be flushing the HPS closet today (32L per airpot).

I have decided to use Mars Hydro 1200W instead of Hans Panels... i just think they are too weak and outdated. And to be honest i think i will have to switch off the 600W HPS since the temps should go crazy after month or so. Will think a little then decide will it be Mars Hydro 1200W or HS1x2 (ver 2). Mars Hydro will be powerful but not save on electricity, so i am more inclined towards HS1, since they save power, as leds should.

Lesson learned (again): you dont grow with HPS in warmer months...

Hei @Grim Reefer

Just had a plan to update today

Here we go!

DAY 36 (from seedling)

Ok, it has been a long week of flushing. Needed to flush 12 plants with 32L tap and RO mixed. Base point on 0,4 EC, pH-d the water to 6.5.

After flush 5L of AN nutes: Sensi Bloom 7ml per 5 L and additives 7-10 ml/L (SensiZym, Bud Candy, Tarantula, Pirahna, Voodoo Juice, Bud Ignitor, Rhino Skin, Bud Factor X)

Size of the plants:
1) AU 70, 80, 83, 70, 78, 66 cm.
2) AX 55, 62, 84, 61, 93, 79 cm.

I received my brand new Mars Hydro 1200W unit and changed out the HPS 600W since the heat was starting to be a problem.
Spread out the plants as planned: 4 plants per cabinet of 1,2x1,2x2m (or 4x4 US). Two AX and two AU-s in every cabinet.

Cabinet nr 1: Hans LED 80W units 6x (480W)
Cabinet nr 2: Mars Hydro, 5W series, 1200W unit
Cabinet nr 3: GN HS1 150W, since two units.

External parameters:
Rh:45-55%
Temperature: 26-28 Celcius
