It's not too late to rethink your approach and make mothers out of some of those seedlings.
Hate to see you waste so many seeds while you're learning.

I'd love to I just don't have a tent, light, extra hydro setup, and sure I could rig something up but I'm doing everything by the book right now, so I'll keep it that way. Buying more seeds won't really be an object in this situation. Plus I'm not really sure the GB is what I'm looking for, I'd really love something single cola that is going to maximize the small 5x5 area of the aeroflo36. I was origanally thinking oh yeah 36 plants I could get like 8-9 pounds, but I'm pretty sure now I'll be lucky to get 2 pounds.

I transplanted into the Aeroflo two nights ago. I'm left with 33 plants :( about 10 didn't make it, I did save 6 from germinating upside down! It had nothing to do with my method, the seeds didn't even split. Luckily BCBD gave me plenty of extras every time I ordered. I highly recommended them as long as these fems don't turn hermie.

I went ahead and also bought liquid nectar, florilicious bloom, and flora blend to add to the GH3 part. When I mixed together originally pH was 4.8, I adjusted to 5.8 then the next day it went all the way up to 6.8! So I've been adding pH up and pH down. pH is steady at 5.75 now, ppm is 405, I keep adding water to keep it down under 400.
The leaves were drooping for the past two days so I raised up the overflow tubes because in my experience that only happens from underwatering. They have perked up this morning, just need to get the temp down, it's a little high at 79. Humidity is also low at 35%.
You would be better off with t5s in there thoes ufos arnt worth shit they dont even sell them at any grow stores around here just no power and looks like you have a larger area to
Have you used LEDs? If not I wouldn't be saying anything just because they don't carry them at your local stores.
They don't carry Lamborghini at my local car lot either. Doesn't really mean anything except there's no demand yet.
looking pretty good. interesting grow. thanks for sharing.
Nice setup sun,Quote:

I see your running the larger DR...I think your gonna be under-utlizing your space.....That space can easily run a 1000w HPS, and it looks like you are running under 500w. you might run into some immature buds on the lower half of your plants if you fill that hydro system..
well anyways....good luck...its gonna be real interesting to see this grow....I wish you werent running the CFL's so we could see if the UFO are worth growing with! I just presonally have never seen a successful grow with the use of LED's ALONE! maybe you could test this one day considering you have all the equipment!
Good luck

L.E.D are junk they have not come to the point of working to flower m.j why not use somthing you know will work i have used l.e.d and have looked at many logs using them and its not worth wasting the tome or nutes you would be better with a 400 hps than some overpriced thing that wont produce im sure someday the technology will be great on the l.e.d but for now its just a waste of time .every week they have some new l.e.d i sure dont see any master growers using them thats why i said he would be better with t 5s than this ufo the proof is in the pictures
I'm assuming the LEDs are doing a great job because when the T5s are on they lean towards the LEDs not the T5s. They lean so much towards the LEDs that I'm rotating them everyday, sometimes twice. I'd use the HPS but I'm super paranoid about helicopters, energy usage red tape, and heat.
The LEDs are meant to cover a 5x5 area, and I have 4 of them in a 5x5 area, equivalent to 1080watts of HPS.
Ima guess the yield will be 6-8 ounces. Is it possible to put the lights way closer to plants? how is ventilation? Ive been through a couple harvest and i consistently go by Grams per Watts, Anywhere from .6 to .8 is what i average. So i do all my math on .7 G/W. No less than .4 if its a bad grow.
My goal is to replicate the grow out of the Bible, where he got like 1.5 G/W. He did 400 clones under 8400watts, got like 24-27 pounds. Powerplant was the strain. That was without co2 also i think so it can get even better.
If your grow is in a house one light would not show up now if you had like 7 lights going that would be diff:DQuote:
