250 watts led upgrade

[spartacusve]

Guys, I would like to introduce an 250 watts in my current tent, I was able to produce extra co2, around 1200 ppm constantly. Since I have 100 x100 x 2 tent and 300 watt ec3000, I would like to add 200 - 250 to get the biggest yield. needs to be small like ufo led. Ican you please give me suggestions for this upgrade? The cheapest option, cause I am broken

I wouldn't top it, I'm not a fan of topping.

You can tie the top down and basically get the same effect as topping only no loss and recovery time.

I'd hold off until after flipping to take clones there's literally 100s of shoots available with no loss after flipping wks 2/4

I used google translate to provide me with an English translation of that website.

The reference to using CO2 with LEDs has more to do with the lower operating temperatures allowing the CO2 to remain present in the grow area before its exhausted from the grow area. Yes, CO2 does allow higher levels of light to be used which in turn drives photosynthesis. Yes, it allows you to grow larger plants faster ... but is it worth all the extra expense right up front when you're getting yourself set up? CO2 can easily be added at another time later on down the road. If this were my project, I'd focus on getting your vegging area, your flowering area, and your area separate from the rest to keep your males. Right there is 3 sets of tents or rooms and their lights. Many breeders run with more ... they might have a mothers area and possibly even an infirmary to care for unhealthy plants.

The light I suggested earlier could be used in your current setup with the light dimmed down and then moved to a larger tent once you purchase it. Your current light is ample in size for the current tent and can be moved back into use for your seedling and vegging nursery. Then once you have all areas operational, you can add CO2 and other upgrades. In the meantime, concentrate on getting yourself up and running first.

This I will only be able to answer with my cropping! Please pray for me! It's showing successful so far, based on my previous issue related to poor drainage soil. Now the crop will answer. Let's hope for the best and be prepared for the worst. You guys are raising the bar here. I am really happy with all the feedbacks and the suggestions, you guys are amazing.

Great call M8, won'tbe touched, clones will be taken from lowest branches.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I have space restrictions.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I have space restrictions.

I'm not surprised. I have more space dedicated to growing than most people ... and I'm still limited for space. We do what we can with what we have. You can do a lot with just the one tent/light combo so keep doing what you're doing and over time, add to what you have.

 

[Star Dog]

Space restrictions you say?
Short compact plants are like my hobby!

12-12 for vegging and 11-13 for flowering rocks for shorter more compact plants, idk about yeild it's not my interest tbh.

Dense, efficient, compact sogs are the way to go for production, I think.

Tiered compact SoGs.

 

[Observer]

Can stack em that way, vertically more compact

One Can get a 7-28gram~ cola off 10-18 inches plant.


Throw a sea of em down in the proper environment and techniques, as compact as possible, with sufficient variables, 5-15 day veg, 70~days for flower

80-100 days turn around on full crop, stagger multiple rooms together and you can harvest virtually every other month or so.

I would agree with that bud and I might say there's a higher percentage of top shelf buds.

I didn't mention yeild, like I know I'm yielding more but I can't supply any figures I just know type thing, I'm getting better originised now so I might manage some weights this time

More consistent canopy, indeed.

And nice, it helps being proper organized.

 

[Observer]

It's really beautiful with cultivars that aren't as leafy, just straight buds and a few fan leafs.

Symmetrically consistent*

Wow!! Is it hydro? What can you do in a 3x3? I am preparing my aeroponic cloner! Its all sett, just waiting for the sprinklers.

Wise words! 18 Wil get transplanted tomorrow 6 and 5 litres pot. And the rest may go to the good soul who donated me the seeds.

That's what I aiming, dense fat solo buds per ft2. With zero stress. The eighteen older ones will be transplanted tomorrow and get their second feed

 

[spartacusve]

Laddies are stretching a lot!! The domes are a secret for my new grow!!! Which ones would you choose to be the first 18 - 20 to be transplanted?

Is that your seeds, 3x3 tent and mars 300w light?
That'll rock in there!

It's surprising what you can take from a 3x3 space and 300w of lighting.


that Mars light you have is much the same as the sf/se 3000.

Yes it's hydro coco fibre and mineral salts canna ab and ionic bloom.

 

[spartacusve]

Will the solo cups go all the way in the cups? 12/12 light schedule? Or it was sent to a flowering room?

 

[Star Dog]

As part of my war on stretch/leggy plants I veg in these ridiculously small pouches in 12-12.

Day #1 flower.

It'd be reasonable to expect its never going to be a yeilder or form a healthy root ball but you'd be mistaken.



It's not like a 1 off its part of the reason I do what I'm doing now.

that was a 1 month veg 210 solo cups reg seeds, i did 24/0 , 20/4, 18/6, 2/2, 12/12 and 10/12

lol

all the way to flower in the solo cups of coco , heavy perlite mix, mixed my own salts and E.C'd accordingly.

tallest plant was 60 inches or so




been dieing to do this again but tiered, and do 420 plants in a 5x5

if not solo cups of coco, rockwool or slabs, maybe a mixture of vermiculite.

I will follow this guidelines, indeed I was overthinking instead of keeping it simple following mol rules adjusting the heights.... Thank you so much my friend. I am really happily you brought me here!

That's insane!! 210 solo cups!! Wow!! Did u reach out to Guinness book of world records?!
