Did a bunch of lower canopy and interior canopy cleanup on Sherb last night as I prepare her for the 8x4. Amazing how fast those leaves fill in. Just cleaned the 8x4 and I've got another Atreum bar array @480 watts due in tomorrow. I've decided to downsize the 8x4 out there in the shop to a 4x4 as soon as I can. One thing I love about the Atreum lights is that if I want to add more bars to the array and upgrade to a higher power driver, I can fairly easily. But I think a 4 bar array @ 480 watts will suffice for now, I only plan on having 2 plants in there. 3 tops. We shall see.
Aside from the space gained out there from downsizing to a 4x4. I think I'm liking this system of starting them in the 4x2 and if they are going to go big, putting them in the 8x4/4x4 = freeing up a spot in the 4x2 for something new. SO, having said that, after Sherb gets moved, it's going to be a Twenty20 Mendocino Glue Sniffer in a 10 gallon TALL. Dunno if she'll get big enough, fast enough to hang out w/ Sherb but we will see. Not sure if I should change the name of this thread (if I can) and just keep a continuous journal as I can. Or to start another thread for that? Anyway, rambling again.
Other news: Sage Scout is looking good. Has a little discoloration on some of the leaves. Had thought I had spilled nutes on her, but it's either genetic, or something else like windburn. And Strawberry Nuggets - topped her. Whoops! Couldn't resist even though I said I wouldn't so it. I'll try to add some more photos soon.
