Indoor Me and my SP......3000! Thank you!

Finally got the room put together enough to start using it. I have some foam tape en route to seal some seams and doors. I ordered the wrong mylar. Mistakes leave room for improvements. The bi-fold doors open up and down. I thought it would be nice to just open the lower door to water without having glare from this beautifully bright lightIt has a fresh air intake at the bottom and at the top is a 4" AC Infinity Cloudline variable speed exhaust fan Tee'd off from dual 4" carbon filters. I also have a 16" wall mount fan on the way and plan to put mylar on the doors too.

I put my handy watt-meter to use on this great new light from @MarshydroTina
Min: 39 watts
25%: 94.5 watts
50%: 150.8 watts
75%: 276.4 watts
Max: 297.2 watts.

The knob isn't zeroed at Min/Max it could probably be pulled off and re-aligned to be more precise but I am not going to be that picky.

currently set @ 25%
Under the light are two Hindu Kush seedlings and a Northern Lights. Shortly after the pic I had started a Gorilla Glue. I plan to have 6-7 plants in this room and harvest a plant approx every two weeks.
I am using Grow Buckets, Dirt from my back yard, and water from my hose. No pH'ing, No added nutrients.

I played around with my lux meter, light height, and power knob to get good coverage for the length of my room. I went from 24" @25% to 32" @50% to reach both ends of the 7.5 ft span with a better numbers. It looks as I will only fit 6 plants in here. This is my first time growing Hindu kush which is supposed to stay small, The northern lights was a nice compact medium yield plant in my last grow. The Gorilla glue may be a monster, we will see.

Nice work...

Still growing. I turned the light up to 220 watts a little while ago I will check them again in the morning to see if they are still happy. The NL plant has been rather sickly the entire grow. Most likely the backyard dirt. Live and let grow. The rest of the plants are coming along nicely.

I get what you're saying - about the NL... but her shape sure is nice. Gonna be an easy harvest/trim.

Did you end up training her any for that shape?

I topped it and defoliated, pulled the bud sites away from each other. I did watch the deficiency video and decided it looked like magnesium deficiency. The Hindu kush next to it was starting to turn lime green between the veins on the lower leaves. I picked up some epsom salts and did a light foliar feed. top dressed all the plants with some DWC water only soil and poured the rest of the epsom water in the dirt. We will see in a few days if it helps at all.

Looks like some happy plants today. The sickly NL looks as though a little color came back. I did turn the light up to the full 300 watts and had to keep it about 24" away. The top leaves on the NL were starting to taco but the Hindu Kush seems to be loving it. The gorilla glue sure decided to get bushy. I will be glad that NL will be coming out in a few weeks when things get crazy in here.

Nice family pic!

I pulled 2 of the hindu kush plants from this grow room. they've been vegging for 7-8 weeks. I did find a year old thread of another grower that had the same plants from the same source not even flower after 130 days. I decided to swap them to another room, top them, and switch them to 12/12. Hopefully the stress will make something happen.

for good news, I brought the zkittles skunk twins from the other room into this one.

Moved stuff around again. Had some spider mites show up and been battling them. I put the big ole hindus and NL in this big room on 12/12. have my smaller plants in the small grow room and secluded one plant that had the spider mites really bad. I've been spraying all the plants with neem oil regardless if I see anything on them or not.
