Hello. I splurged and bought new equipment. I got 2 TS600 Mars-Hydro lights for my cloning/seedling cupboard to replace the 3 florescent lights I've been cloning with for about 24 years. I would replace the florescent lights about every 18 months or so. The Mars-Hydro lights seems to be running about the same temp as the fluorescents did but are much brighter. I also bought 2 5'x5' tents with 2 Spider Farms 4000 lights, a 2'x4' cloning/seedling tent with 2 Mars-Hydro TS600 lights and 2 Mars-Hydro FC 4800 to replace my 430 watt HID lights in the main grow room. I can use the HID's in the greenhouse to keep it warmer in the spring and fall.
I did some trimming and topping this week. I'm waiting for the plants to heal and then I'll turn the lights to flowering.
Some of the plants are showing that they are still feeling the clay pellets PH imbalance. They have the yellow edges.
Till then. Chuck.
Hey! Happy growing my friend! I hope you do well and get some good results! I will come by sometime to see your progress! Keep on growing!
If you ever visit my page please say hello!
Peace & love L.S.T 🌟❤️🔥
Great grow, really sweet looking. On the perlite thing, General hydroponics sites they sell multiple perlite types. I just bought a 10l bag for €7.99. Check out that store either the .EU or .com sites, they have the cheapest in literally everything, there is no store that I've been able to find that beats any of their prices of 1000's of products. Especially if someone is using GH OR ADVANCED NUTRIONS. There prices are sooo cheap. As well as the perlite i was able to buy 14 AN sensi coco feeding chart nuts and it only came €330 and just as an example compared to the next cheapest place of the same products and volume per per product, came to €680. And if you spend 150 or more it's free delivery. If you want to find the right set Advanced nutrition that works well best together just type in Advanced nutritions feeding table and hit what type of chart you'd like and it gives you a list of what nuts go well together in said chart.
@gottagrowsometime, Thanks brother. I'll defiantly check that out. Thanks for taking the time to answer. When I was at the grow store a couple of week ago I asked about the perlite in the large bags and they said there's still a shortage in the world. So the prices here are still inflated. I'll check that site out. Thanks, Chuck.
@Godesskat, Thanks Buddy. Yes I agree with that. I only drink at celebrations now and that's only 1/2 a beer. I take my beer bottle in the washroom with me and pour it out and fill the bottle with water. The only trouble is when a friend walks up with a open beer and gives it to you. Then I drink 1/2 and say I got to go to the washroom. Chuck.
