First grow - Test run for next grow

@@Lucimago, it’s a wire tie. I’m currently just letting it hang from the power cord but I should really be hanging it from that wire tie. The pulse is pretty sweet I think - I need some sort of calibration kit tho - I’m not positive how accurate it is (I believe it is accurate)

@@Lucimago, thanks again!

@@@Lucimago, thanks for the tips. I think I’ve decided to just wait and chop it all in about a week. I’ll dry them in the same tent with the same filter and fans etc- and then I’ll do a thorough bleaching and cleaning before my next grow. Think I’m screwed for ages?? Pollen is probably everywhere.

@CRiSPrGrow
, yes thank you very much- bad news but I did figure this might happen (the seeds came from a hermie was always my figuring)

@@@Lucimago, thanks - yeah - I’ve never worked with angle aluminum. I’ve been looking for an excuse to get a miter saw and I just might! Otherwise I’ll just use my circular saw - either way stay posted hopefully it comes together ok... also I just ordered an HLG UVA kit to include in my frankenstein led “system”- wish me luck!

@Cariboo_OG
, thanks - very much appreciated! I may add an air conditioner and build a frame for the LCDs today or this weekend - I’ll also try to post a time lapse of what’s happening with the scrog growth. My feeding schedule and durations are getting dialed in (I’ve been wasting a lot during testing) - things are coming along! Stay tuned and thanks again!

@@@@Lucimago, thanks so much! Those strips are from SolStrip - they’re SolStix x3. They have 2700 kelvin and 5600kelvin Samsung diodes (3700k average) — they’re supposed to run at up to 72 watts each but I have numerous drivers they gave me and they won’t run higher than 30-50 watts for some reason(each) - the company/dude wasn’t easy to work with and I don’t recommend them. Although I wish I could get them to work better because they are quite cool in concept. I wish instead I just had more or bigger lights from horticulture lighting group. My RapidLED far red flower initiator supposedly arrived today so I’ll be adding that today too! I wish I had a par meter (too pricey) - maybe I’ll get a lumen meter at least and see if my idea that putting those strips on the sides of the quantum boards should even out the par levels out to the edges of the canopy Thanks again!

@GreenHouseLab
, thanks for the kind words! I actually have two more of those solstix I think I’ll add this week - and I just ordered a far red flower initiator/Emerson light from rapidLED - I’d like to try a uva light too but hlg is out of stock - all of these new exotic led lights sound like promising fun new experiments

@Kiewil1
, thanks a lot! Yeah I totally agree I need to chop more off down low — first of all I’m a baby and always so irrationally scared to chop anything off my precious plants - but forget about that (I’ll just smoke a lot and get it done!!!) - with the new scrog (which I’m scared I installed weeks too late to be effective) I’m hopeful that some of those lower branches can have a nice spot to grow big — too crowded though I know - my thoughts are to wait a few days and see what happens with how it grows into the scrog before I decide which branches to chop off — but I’m all ears if you have any suggestions!! I’ll post some updated pictures of what the under-canopy looks like now - and thanks again!! **UPDATE - I did some more lollipopping and posted pics and a video - let me know what you think - thanks!!
