Just getting going again after some mods to my grow box. I’ve replaced the main CFL bulb with an LED and it is much brighter. I also removed the second carbon filter to create more space in the box. The new setup allows for more even space and light distribution and overall more growing space.
With the additional light I thought I would try out CO2 so I added an Exhale365 bag.
Starting out with 3 plants, 2 Pineapple Express and 1 Pineapple Skunk. There was some type of burn on the first seedling but that was earlier on and it has grown a lot since I first noticed it. I planted the seeds days apart so a few are behind.
Growbox summary:
* grow space: 19”H x 17”W x 21”D
* 4 small, 1 medium internal fans
* 3 gallon hydro reservoir
* 6 inch exhaust fan + 4 inch exhaust fan in sequence
* 150W Mars Hydro TS-1000 (new)
* 3 X 20W LED side lights (+1 new)
* Exhale CO2 bag (new)
Water temps are ranging from 68 up to 70.
It’s a small space, but with light covering all sides I think I can get a decent yield. Last time 3.2 ounces were harvested from it. Hoping to hit 5 ounces this time by creating fewer, but larger colas.
Day 6 update:
* The pinex-1 is looking a little funky. It has weird leaf growth, some minor defects in color, super short compared to the others, and the first leafs are starting to canoe a little.
* pinex-2 and pskunk are looking good and growing well, but the leaves aren’t very green.
* decided to bump up nutrients a little by moving to week 2 on the schedule and diluting to 60%. That took the ppm up from 400(200 base) to 630(210 base). Hoping if they weren’t getting enough nutrients that this will fix it.
* the new light might be a little to bright for these babies. Dimmed it to about 75% power.
