The lights are Solsheet X kits … totally awesome ! plants are growing super nice under them… I believe I have mostly 3500K but have a 5000K and a 2700K as testers… I have a few more 3500K sheets I have not hung yet. I am big time impressed with these lights… If you did buy them I would suggest getting them pre-built instead of the DIY kit’s which I bought, for what they charge its well worth it IMO, , looking back I would have bought them already built ! they go together easy, but they do take a bit of time and when you have 8 of them it adds up …I do like how they grow so far… definitely powerful !
the screens are 32" wide from the outside edge to the wall, 9’ down each side of the room and 6’11" across the back … the SolSheet X allow me to setup the room to have a 22" walkway down the middle which will give me great access to the plants and still have perfectly even light coverage across the canopy… I will end up with 9 SolSheetX covering the screens, 3500K … 3 across the back and 4 down each side
the Room will have a Natural Gas C02 Burner…
I had to customize the XXX13 system by increasing the spacing between the two rows so it fit my room and allowed a middle walkway,
I am a legal medical grower, my first RDWC crop, but many years experience with all sorts of methods…
I have a nice 5’ x 5" Fusion Hut in the back corner of the room with a Aero chamber for Veg
Iponics 624 Dual room controller, not quite setup yet…
Screen was laid down today, pictures taken right as lights were coming on…
Be interesting to see how this performs… this is a strong strain, been growing it for a couple of decades…
Distance between top of pots and bottom of screen is 12"
the floor is wavy in the room so I had to build a shelf with independent leveling feet
I plan to reroute the airlines, right now its a mess down the center… I will end up splitting the line and running a feeder on each side of the room with the hoses tucked in the between the wall and the pots
I also will build a rest/bench that will lock into a rail on the wall between the plants and allow me to lay on my back under the canopy and comfortably work on the plants … kind of like a mechanics creeper…
there will also be a second layer built for the netting which I will try to use string… I tried string on the first row but found too much flex in the pipes to make a tight net… So I decided to go chicken wire which I think may be too fine for the second layer.
One cool thing is the C02 monitor can measure how much C02 I put into the room when I am working in there, it will sit normally around 300-360 PPM, If I work in the room the PPM will jump up to low 600’s in no time… the room is small and well sealed, but still, I had no idea me breathing affected the C02 levels that much !
I also have a RO water system …Using the CC nutes at their ridiculously low recommended levels… seems to be working great
this strain is a beast and grows like crazy for the first three weeks of flower, will be interesting to see it in a scrog like this… Very potent, strong hashy tasting old world strain we have protected for 2 decades … its the only strain I have found that you can’t get acclimatized too, it doesn’t matter how many years you have smoked it you will never develop a tolerance… every time you smoke it your going to be uncomfortably ripped, like peeking out the corner of your curtains of your window looking for the boogie man ripped… can cause heavy anxiety to a lightweight smoker… produces heavy, but is difficult to grow as it doesn’t fill out its buds till the last 2 weeks of flower…requires super consistent watering regime, extremely sensitive to changes… have produced 1000 grams per 1000 watt old school HPS batwing hand watering in Coco.
i love that oldschool hashy flavour. look forward to following along
