Hello from Ohio!

[Driver77]

I've been growing indoors a few years now and did guerilla grows outdoors back in the 80's. I grow in a little bit of everything...soil, coco, hydroton, perlite, and whatever else I might have laying around. I keep 2 4x4's and a 3x3 going along with as many plants in the kitchen as wifey lets me get away with.
I've been playing with wick bases and soil for awhile. Also have an Aircube system and rdwc for my hydro itch.
Here's my current grows...first pic is Aircube with 2 Purple Cream and 2 Glue Sniffer. Second is 3 Violet Lakes in 1 gal containers of perlite with diy top watering. Last is 3x3 doing seedling duty for 2 Fruity Freaks, 2 Maui autos, 3 Blue Moon autos, 1 Burbon Berry auto, and a Red Gorilla Girl auto.

I thought I'd update my current grows here and open new threads if I grow something cool....got some Supafreaks/Berry Freaks started that are always fun.
The Violet Lakes in 1 gal of perlite are moving along nice and drinking about 3/4 gal/day.(first pic)
The Aircube girls are getting extra red this round......I haven't grown these before so not sure if I'm getting more bud sites or not. Either way they seem to not mind it in any way. Had to supercrop the Glue Sniffers in the rear and still going to be in the light. The Purple Cream up front will be fine.
I run Jacks 321 at around 2.2 ec down from 2.4 after reading some on this site....so far so good!

I zip tied the light to the top of the tent bars to gain 4 or 5 more inches.
So after the supercrop and moving the light up I still think they'll be in the light by harvest......but that's better than being in the lights now I guess. I'm afraid to see what the par is on the tall tops lol..... I think I would benefit with some side lighting in this tent.

Mars hydro fc8000 with all the supplement bars...ir, uva, and 660red....blue for veg. I have then turned down to 70% because of the Glue Sniffers being too tall but normally they don't get past 80% anyhow.

I'm keeping my reds off through the stretch but I'll put them on around 4 weeks in. I don't have ir to counter their effects and I've had issues keeping my plants off the lights.

Yeah I cut back on my red since I can't run the main as high...added another 20min of uva too. Lessons learned for next grow! It definitely effects different cultivars differently as apparent in my tent lol. But to be fair the Glue Sniffer are more sativa leaning so mostly grower error I think.
