Msmusixs Since I've been holding on to her as a mommy, but I want to switch strains, she can bloom now :)
She was kept "alive" for about 10 weeks with little light and topped a few times.
Soil was about 50% from the last grow and 50% light mix + a handful of garden lime.
Fertilized organically with Greenhouse powerfeeding.
Watered only with water, 1 liter daily.
VPD is maintained at about 1.0 via a humidifier.
No dehumidifier, trying to keep it as simple as possible...

Msmusixs The 100-watt spider farmer was replaced with a gc4xpwr (75% power).
Msmusixs Signs of calmag deficiency, unfortunately didn't take any pictures... I've always had problems with this strain (except for my parallel grow with Plagron mineral, where so far there's been nothing).

Msmusixs Calmag problems have gotten worse..
No more using Greenhouse feeding for fertilizing, but instead using the nutrient solution from the irrigation system of the other grow (diluted to EC 1.2 pH 6.3) 1.5L per day
Let's see :)
Since this is just a side project anyway, it wouldn't be a big deal if it turns out to be crap in the end.

Msmusixs The switch to mineral nutrients was well received... EC has been increased every few days from 1.2 to now 2.0 pH 6.3

Msmusixs Due to illness, unfortunately, just today an update.
Nutrients have been set to FW7, only pH adjusted water (pH 6.3) is used now.
In the 1.5 weeks that I was out of action, the fungus gnat population has gotten a bit out of control. However, I won't be doing anything else in the final stages...
By the way, in my parallel autopot watering grow, the problem hardly exists at all, as the lack of top watering seems to make the dry and compacted soil not particularly attractive to the little pests...
Buds are showing slight foxtailing... which may have been caused by heat stress, as it hit over 30 degrees for a few days.

Msmusixs Week 9 has begun and it's slowly feeling like fall.... The last 3 runs had harvest time at the end of week 8. This time it somehow feels like it's taking longer, at least another week.. I still think it has to do with the long growth phase... Anyway, today was the last time for watering... Nutrients have mostly been pulled from the soil. It'll be fine... It'll run for a tight week still.

Sf as in spider farmer ? I’m running 2 of these right now and until now I don’t see of have any problems with these . I still have 3 sf g5000 from my hydro time but they are 85x85 and don’t fit my current tent . Now they sponsored 2 sf1000 as they we not able to send a 2000 pro because there was no stock in Germany and otherwise I had to wait . As I dont won’t to grow bigger anymore ( tent ) I’m looking for a sanlight that will fit my tent in the future . Never had that brand but I’m curious towards it as I only had Vivosun mars and now for the past 4 years spider farmer .
Yeah, by SF I meant Spider Farmer… and they’re definitely not bad lights—you can get amazing results with them. That’s not what I meant to say. I just feel more comfortable knowing these things are assembled in the EU. :)
I can’t say much about the GC yet, but the two-channel grow/bloom feature seemed interesting, so I wanted to test it out.
What I can say for sure: In my 80x80 cm tent, I swapped out 2x SF2000 (400W both dimmed to 300W) for a Sanlight EVO 4-80 (260W), and the results have been noticeably better with the Sanlight. Plus, the tent stays 2–3 degrees cooler!
Hope this info helps you!
You’re not from Germany, are you?
thanks for your explanation, no I'm not from Germany but from the Netherlands, but I saw that you're from Germany and for me it hardly makes a difference in which language I write and it's also a bit easier since I often work in Stuttgart. I would never connect anything to network devices that comes from there, but I have measured the lamps themselves for leakage currents and similar issues and everything is fine there. I will keep these lamps on for the next three growth phases, that was the deal I had with them over Alibaba, and after that I will switch to Sanlight. Thanks again for your response
