Indoor MedCzech’s ManCave-BioTabs & “The Flavor Chase”

All good...hope we can all,learn so,thing frommthis grow. I will do one more of these organic grows with BioTabs in fall and then decide if I will continue on.

Clean organic weed sounds good, let see hope it is as easy as they say.
 
The lights I am using right now in the beginning are the Bestva 600w, true 125w, led reflector series, and the basic cob with meanwell driver and running a Cree 3590 chip at 3500k.

You can see, this light is pretty handy and has a nice spectrum. Very bright when on full blast, although I almost never run it like that. If only I had bought the Mars led, I may have done even better, but this is a very solid light with excellent quality construction.

Good canopy penetration as well. I keep it the same height as my 60w cobs. And right now, with this light on only bloom using 55 watts and the cob using 60 watts, I have them about 1.35cm above the pots. Seedling don't need that much light. This combination of soft red light and the cob give them a nice morning like sunrise effect and this should encourage them to stretch up and find the light from what I have read about spectrum and growth patterns in cannabis.

I am using the light with no reflector right now, but I have possibilities for both you see here. I found it was too hot and causing hot spots with overlap. I think I have more than enough light dispersion wise, intensity is another story. I will add UV light into the mix in mid and late flower. I have yet to acquire the light I will use yet. Still thinking of options.

Here you can see the pink hue of the lights reflected on the tent. I think this combo is the best way to start the plants IMO. Simulates sunrise
 
Still no activity in the tent yet, but it hasn't even been 48 hours since they were put in the ground after germinating. They didn't have long root coming out either, just small and barely cracked open on a couple. It will probably take another day for them to come up.

Being patient...looking forward to this journey. I have some great strains I like, and a couple new ones, Purple Nuggets from Mephisto, the special hybrid on CDLC x SS from Mephisto, and Gorilla Glue from Fastbuds are new strains for me this run. The GG could get large, but the other two should be smaller and wider plants. Going to be fun managing the canopy this time through.
