New Lights, New Strains, New Journal

Hello OG!

Grundle here! Back at it, well didn’t really stop growing just took a break from posting. Lots of new stuff to share. My old lights, Electric Sky v.300’s, have dimmed quite considerably in the 5 years I’ve been running them and it showing in bud development, leafy and not as dense. After some research on newer lighting I pulled the trigger on GrandMaster LED. Pricey but worth every penny in my humble opinion. Well made, great customer support and fast shipping. These things are beasts. I purchased the Tarantula Explorer series with the computer attachment. A whopping 1440 watts per fixture. When I say bright it’s an under statement. Ten bar dual channel (warm white channel and cool white channel) two drivers that are magnetically attached with a single know for turning up and down in fifteen percent increments, if my eyes are correct. Running it thru the little computer brain thingy I got over rides them and allows me to set the light spectrum to 12 different presets or run my own customized setting. I’m truly excited to see what these guys do for me. As far as new strains go I’ve brought back the White Strawberries from five years ago, can’t wait for that. As well as two feminized White Cake from Ethos Genetics gifted to me by a friend. The rest are from OG members I’ve gathered thru the last couple years.

Barbara Bud x Purple Guava (5 females from a 5pk)
Super Silver Haze x Cantaloupe Skunk (4 females from a 5pk)
Wreckage x Chocolate Rain (2 females from a 3pk)
Crasher Toyz (2 females from a 3pk)

The best group of females from reg seeds I’ve ever had. lol I also am running what I cal Wolf Junky(CapJunky x Big Bad Wolf v2) and a Blueberry Diesel x Blueberry Blast. Both are stellar cuts.

I’m still running the Roots Organic line with photosynthesis plus, Humic acid, SLF and Recharge add through out the week. Medium is Advanved Sunshine #4.

I hope to see a few members from my previous journal come hangout as well as anyone who wants to hang. All topics are fine be well to each other.

Well got the computer hooked up to the lights today. Still not entirely sure I did it right. My only complaint so far is there isn’t a very easy to follow or understand setup guide provided. I’ve looked on YouTube and have found videos on setting it up but it’s not for my specific units. There for the models above and below but not mine specifically. Might have to call Russ back on Monday and bug him some more. Otherwise things are looking great. I’ll get some closer pictures of the buds later today or tomorrow.

Hey I see you have your ac in the middle of your tent. Where do you exhaust your heat from the ac?

Out the front left side of the tent then vented outside sucker gets hot. Before I put the ac in the tent the first night I woke up in the morning and it was 102 in the tent. Ac has brought it down to 85 with rh of 45-47%. Thanks for hanging out.

Do you have the heat hose running through a charcoal filter?

4 Likes

Nope! Just up the wall of my room and out the wall of the foundation into my shed on the back of my house. I have a ten inch vent fan in the ceiling of the tent that goes thru a filter out into the shed as well. No smell so far. I can keep ya posted if ya like and I’ll take some pics of the setup if ya like as well.

Well, definitely going to have to get the power cord extensions and get these drivers out of the tent. Temps are just to high with them in there. I thought lowering the cool white driver a notch would lower it down but nope. Going to have to drop the 125 for four cables. lol
Have a great day OG

Right! I went full out and didn’t think enough into the future. Lol
I’ll make it work. Just gotta shave 8 degrees off the temp and I’ll be great.

You filled that side in nicely, great spread.

Sucks you gotta drop that much on cables, but hopefully it helps drop the temps enough.

There was nine plants on that side but one was a male so it had to die. I haven’t done a screen in a long time lol. The one things I forgot was I have to get on my hands and knees to water the back three plants. Didn’t miss that. lol
Thank you for the kind words sir. It’s filling in nicely. Fresh pics today or tomorrow.

Hello OG!! Haven’t been around due to a trip to the ER with gallstones and Gastroenteritis. Totally sucked. Feeling much better now! Tons of fresh fruit and white rice. lol

Plants are doing well. Putting on weight. I got some foxtailing happening due to higher than normal temperatures. Haven’t ordered the cable extensions yet due to the illness but that will happen this week.
Pictures incoming!!! Be well OG
