Grow #16

A grow room inside a grow tent. There are all at Six or seven days from sprouting so we decided to post. There is more then one strain here. We will document Purple Star killer here and the rest will be on separate diaries... Ugh Gonna be doing a lot of these. One of the seedlings emerged photos did not upload, you get the idea.. It ahh looked like the others. Harbingers rarely ever see daylight so we must harness the power of the sun into our grow caves to grow our bountiful Harvests. The seeds are under two 48w Led grow bars in the Cave of Harvests. The seeds for first 2 weeks or so will be run from a combined 96w Led then we go continue to grow/go from there. Nice clean filtered air coming in and lots of hooks on the roof to mount and move lights in all sorts of different ways. Co2 Monitored around 1500 ppm with bags. Very cool setup, lots of labour, measuring and creative thinking. We have no logging equipment but we do daily morning and evening inspections. It's very cool inside as the noise of the fans and the water running with all the airflow creates a very comfy and cozy environment. The tent wall/Mylar walls act as insulation/sound barrier and make the whole living area nicer. Because of the added structure and support of the tent we can store all sorts of stuff on top of the tent. We lose about 2 inches of tent all around not a huge deal for the added support and the tent is tight around the frame so the tent doesn't suck in with the negative pressure from the Exhaust fan. If your interested in learning more about the frame and what we did please pm. Yes White Mylar because it's actually been proven to reflect light in a much better and more efficient manner then mirror like. With mirror finishes you get a refraction of the light so it actually bounces off or redirects the light in all sorts of random directions. You may get a 100% reflection of the light with the mirror finish but with it not being flat it bounces the light off in random areas. With white on the other hand the Reflection rate is lower like 90%. But the light actually “glows” off the wall and produces a more uniform and equal light reflection. Diamond may have been better but it's also much more expensive. “A white object reflects the light in all the directions, independently of the original direction. It is called a diffuse reflection. If you shine a beam of light onto a white surface, it is scattered in all the directions. On the other hand, a mirror reflect the light symmetrically to the input direction, with no scattering. This is what allows us to see "through" the mirror.” There you have it folks a little science for you and you learned a little bit about mirrored surfaces vs. White ones and a bit about how light works as well. The future: We will be topping 2-3 times on each with lots of LST to even out the Canopy. Also going to experiment and do some really cool things on this side of things to get fat yields and show off some crazy genetics and such. In mid to late veg we will be turning on some more lights. Running some Uva+Uvb during mid to late flower along with a lot of LED lights. We got more seeds on order so we got more genetics and diversity to come. Also gonna be tracking another outdoor grow as it progresses so expect to see a couple diaries started by us from a couple local growers we are representing. We've got a few less hardcore people involved. And we don't mind showcasing the other side of the spectrum of growing as well. Anyway this is what we do, this is our hobby and our passion and we are always willing to help. We are not experts but we are experienced and we got that experience by investing a lot of time into researching and continued researched. Always willing to debate and discuss and learn more so if you'd like to start a dialog please do.
