The ladies are consuming around 12 gallons of feed a week. The trichomes started covering the flowers when I cranked the light up to 100%. The lights are putting out between 35k LUX at the corners of the tent, to 60k at the center. I am seeing no light burn.
I am adding the Silica Blast from Botanicare to strengthen the plants and enable them to hold the weight of the flowers in full bloom. However, I like to keep my PPM readings as close to 1000 as possible, and the Silica Blast will raise this level. In addition, it raises the PH level significantly, and requires some PH Down

@popcornsutton,
Sorry for the late reply. These lamps will max out at around 60k LUX at 100%. I'm actually running two of the SF4000 lights in one of the 5x5 tents. I have also looked at changing my lighting to the Spider Farmer G or SE series bar-style lights. It seems they are more popular among many of the successful growers I follow on social media. The SF4000 lights would be perfect for a 4x4, but not quite good enough (in my opinion) for the 5x5 tents. They will have to do for now, since the upgrade for both tents would be around fifteen hundred.

Great grow!
Cover top soil with cutten grass, wood chips, any thing organic to increasy root, maximize the potencial of your soil !!
Anyhting that make the top moist, and slow release anything or make a home for the microorganisms....

@Psilocubensis,
You would do this with Coco Coir? I try not to add anything that might bring in disease or pests from outside. I also use cloth pots to keep the soil well drained. Coco Coir should be treated as Hydroponic in the sense that you are maintaining the nutrient balance and PPM ratios, testing the excess water/feed that flows through the cloth pots, into the tray.
