Lighting FTG Lighting Infinity Board and SoFem Auto Grow

[Waira]

hey Bushy! Those Trizz'es are showing very well so far here, ay? Those are gonna finish looking phaaaaat !
I'm noting the cycle time on them, seems accurate so far,... I do wish this trend in lack of speed would be improved though. Seems a lot of newer crosses from various breeders are going 10+ weeks, and IMO at 12 weeks one might as well have run a photo, got similar yield and quality and saved on the power $....

SoFems are getting close! ... aromas?

What's your opinion on the lights man? :smoking:
.... My tent goes up this week so I can start testing the light and the T's, then get to germ'ing some babies!

I'm liking the light but as you know it throws out the photons. I dropped to 18/6 but think my next run I'll drop to 17/7 maybe. Would help deal with tent heat in summer. On the SoFems to me I'm getting lots of lemon citrus aroma then on the Trizzlers candy fruit bouquet aroma.

We are almost coming to a close for this grow. I've been very pleased with these FTG Lighting Infinity Boards and still learning adjustments to make. I know they put out a lot more light then some other sources. So next I'm going to be playing with a different light schedule for the next run of autos. There is no complaints from me on how the SoFem Genetics and Twenty20Mendocino autoflowers have done as these were pretty much left to grow on their own and you can see the normal structure growth without manipulation. As for nutrients the tried n true Greenleaf Megacrop that I've been using over 3 years now. Keep it simple and you'll be rewarded.

Have to give a shout out to @Nate @ Agro Lighting for these great lights and remember if your looking for a new set of lights make sure
to check these out. We have a discount code FTG10AFN to use on the website https://www.ftglighting.com/

Then the strains I've grown from SoFem Genetics and @Twenty20 Adam Autoflowers I definitely want to add more of their products to
my seedbank to continue growing.

sooo chunky and frosty! ...Gotta say, some of the best results I've seen on both MC and the genetics themselves-
That Trizz is a butt-slapper, are you showing her at T20M thread too? You may take the prize on this one so far!
Blood cuts look great as well .....Too bad Rebel isn't around these days.... I need to go pester her in emails, the bugger!

Talk up the aroma's man, that's half the Goods there!

Go over your light distance and sched' again for me?
My auto's are going now, and I love the light! But I worry about the intensity, and plant proximity... You have full height, mine is only a 5'er so vertical space is challenge at times! And worse, the girls I'm running will be all over the map on height , but that's why there's other lights when needed.... I know the girls disliked getting too close to the AutoCOB's, but those are powerful point-source lights, this QB may not be as harsh on them at sub-optimal distances? I asked about a dimmer, which IMO should be automatic, but this is a gen-1 product, maybe next time,....

I've started this grow at 48 inches above pots running the 19/5 schedule and let the plants do their thing growing toward lights. We did
switch to 18/6 as they started drooping way early as they seemed they had enough and needed rest. Once I switched over to bloom
feed I even lowered the amount of light schedule to 17/5 but the last few weeks I've been running a 16/8 schedule on them and they
have seemed to love it. My next run I'll probably just keep it running on the 16/8 schedule to save some electric cost and heat during
the summer but we'll see if I have to bump it back up. I do know these light produce a more uniform light spread across the whole tent
hitting all corners.

I've tried to keep the light distance from top atleast 24 inches. But with the multiple strains, one is about 18 inches from light, other is
24 inches and others are about 30 inches there about.

The aromas in there are all across the board from sweet tropical fruits, citrus orange/lemon, to I spilled diesel fuel on my pants. My
wife would tell you it's just smells like a roadkill skunk that's been sitting in the sun for a few days.

I want all those smells in my tent!!!!!

Well this run is coming to an end this weekend. They've been on plain well water for the last few days now as they're finishing. The FTG Lighting has done wonderfully and I've only been running 16/8 light schedule the last 3-4 weeks so you can see how powerful they are for autoflowers. The first set of pics are the Twenty20Mendocino Trizzlers, then the SoFem Genetics Blood Lemon Narcos and Blood Temple Kush.

Bit late to the party I know, but a fine grow sir, and well documented. I hope your foot healing is progressing well, and that you are enjoying the nice crop!

Bushy mate, you crushed this run! ....I'm really impressed at how well these girls chunked up, and the bud:leaf ratio is amazing! Density look to be as good as it gets, more so than usual for some of these culitvars...
How long did they take total? .... (pardon for falling off track on this grow BTW )...

Aromas all sound on point, all delish' and a nice change from each other- Ignore your wife's biased nose- ...
Any chance we can get you to post some dry porn? I gotta see these buds man, don't make me beg- ...talking flash pics here, to show that frost off!

Duly noted on the light schedule, I think there's something to this observation... Clearly they are getting their max DLI fill, but no wonky behavior like fox'ing out, bleaching, fraggy leaves... I'll see about doing that with mine here shortly. Right now the photo seedlings are in there and I'm riding them 20/4 for a bit longer before I start to back that off to real-time light/dark hours outside...

Oh yeah, that AFN sticker is the best! Got a spare I can score off you? I missed the boat on those...
