So my plants had a rough start, I am grossly out of practice and these LED had a learning curve…so by the time I got things dialed my plants had gone lanky. Yes, the room has to run hotter then I would run under HPS at least 4-6 degrees hotter, I tried at 78F and the performance was terrible, I bumped up to 82-84 and it was like magic for the plants, they just exploded… As well it wasn’t till I was 3 weeks into flower did I get my C02 operational… So I have been messing with C02 levels trying to find the sweet spot…I had it near 1000 operational but have since dropped it down… on the wall the setting will be lets say 800 but operational in the room it will move between 800-1000 as the generator cycles on and off… right now at week 5 my on the wall setting is 560 but the room is operating up to 760 ish… Next run I can start the plants under C02 so I will get a better handle on it and have plants fully adapted to it… I have never before used this style and level of control equipment so there has been a bit of a learning curve to it all… I am running the Link4 Iponic 624 and its ridiculously good …it was a hard pill to swallow financially but I do like it and the quality is really good…
And back to these lights, this is a hell of a grow for 1300 watts… able to spread the light so evenly, and the intensity is insane, no issues with penetration depth as far as I can tell…I am eager to see how this crop finishes up, I have no experience with these strains so who knows, but usually from here we we should see the buds really start to pack on the weight and size… I can hardly wait to add 4 more panels ! going to be insane !
