Week 3: Day 1
Flower/Bloom Chamber
Strain: Medical Marijuana Genetics Candida (CD-1)
LED's: 6 x Samsung F-Series Gen.3 3000k 2' LED strips (LT-F562B w/ LM561C diodes)= 432 LED's total.
Power: 3.8A / 6 = 633mA per strip - 90VA 100W

Nutrients: Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom 50ml, Liquid Karma 9ml
PPM: 1050
pH: 6.0
Height of plant: 17.5"
Growing Technique: LST
Notes: Changed to bigger bucket half way through. Also upped the power to 3A and lowered to 10". I think I should have lowered the light earlier and turned up the power because it seemed like she stretched a lot, leaves block undergrowth. Leaves look like sativa so it could just be the strain characteristics

Veg Chamber
Strain: Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue #4 Auto
LED's: 5 x Bridgelux EB Gen.2 5000K 1' strips = 280 LED's total
Power: 700mA / 5 = 140mA per strip

Nutriens Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow 1ml
PPM: 400
pH: 6.2
Notes: Looks like it still might be one week behind CD-1 plant. Leaves were drooping slightly since day before this post

They look good!

Did you have problems keeping ph balanced in the reservoir?

Can't wait to see the final result.

No experience with hydroguard. I do believe in beneficial bacteria, I never washed my res out between grows. Never even rinse the hydroton :lol: .
