Grump's Banana Sapphire Grow 🌱

[GrumpAzz]

Here we go again folks.
Same Grump, New Digs..

We're doing a couple things differently this round.
New (to me) tent and lights.

• 4x8 Gorilla Grow tent
• 2 Scynce Raging Kush II lights

New layout for the 4 plant system.


I took these clones from their mama on June 12th and they rooted on June 19th. Into the system they went on June 25th with the lights set at 50%.

Water content is Athena's Grow mix. Currently sitting at 1.55 EC with a 6.1 pH. Need to bring that pH down a tad but it's been sitting solid.

They're looking good today so I bumped that light up to 75%. That's around 350 ppfd.


Roots are looking good for only 12 days of growth...

...so they all got a trim


The reservoir was initially dosed with H2O2, but I'm assuming that's all done run out. I've got to decide whether or not I want to stick to what I know and add some Orca or go a new route by running Hygrozyme instead. I need to do the paper test to see if the Zyme is still good because it's a 5 year old bottle. Unopened, but you know...

After a little downtime, it's good to have plants going again. It's time to kick it in gear my dudes.

Thanks homie!

I'm gonna try to limit them all to their own little 2x4 zone.

I'll give them a few days to recover before upping the lights to 100%, then we're going straight into 12/12.

good luck with that... i have two in a 4x4 and they're all up in each others business!! the zone is "shared" haha

just jokin though, yours won't be shaped like mine..

.

did you eliminate the air stones? i don't see any...

Haha yeah. There's gonna be some mingling, I'm sure.

One already positive from these lights... the even coverage. My CLW had a hotspot in the center as the ppfd tapered out. These lights give me nearly an identical reading anywhere I check. Maybe that'll keep them from sprawling out as much as I've seen in the past.

In any case, it's gonna be interesting trying to train them into a rectangular space. You can't put the round peg in a square hole.

did you eliminate the air stones? i don't see any...

I did not. You can see the tubing going into the furthest bucket in the picture. I figured it couldn't hurt. I'm bubbling the top-off regardless.

A new tradition I'm gonna try and uphold.

Heck yeah man. Do it.
I kept them out of the tent because they didn't seem like they'd handle the light for long.

Man.. couldn't tell ya. But I can show ya.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure the new one is just gonna take some getting used to.

yeah i pulled a yolo and ordered em.. only a few bucks..

how many watts are the new lights?

.

man i think you used illuminate before.. try switching to the new illuminate 2 and see if ya like that one. you might have to choose a background or color but the layout should be very close. i've personally grown to like the carbon 2..

Shit yeah!

how many watts are the new lights?

Spec sheet says 650w. So 13 total I guess.
