Went to two hydro places yesterday, one in jersey and one closer to home. Had a look at the HIDs, wasn't too impressed with the intensity of the 400W MH but it was really hot. Held my hand 3 feet from it and could still feel the heat. So. I'm thinking that we should make arrangements for some fluoros at the sides. Maybe just 4 to 6, one in each corner and a pair in mid back all vertical about 12-16 inches above the floor.
Also had a look at the ingredients in the GH and other nutes. Nothing special there except quite a bit of chelating agent. I think I'll add some EDTA to my recipe, not sure how much yet.
So, sputnick, how are the plans coming? All I need to do now is calculate the flow rates for bubbles, recirc, and exhaust, and get some size info on the control tank and plant buckets. Think we'll be ready to build by semester break?
Since I've heard that Emery is slow and pricey, I think we should look into Seeds Direct. I'm thinking either Sensi Star or Mazar but they have some others that look good too, like Chronic, and White Widow, and... Why don't you pick the strain?
Sput, if you checked out our grow thread you'll see that they're getting rather big. By the looks of it now, I'm thinking that our new box can probably hold only 3-4 mature plants without crowding...but this of course means less bud per grow. So, what are our design goals??? |
