SOLAR STORM 400w GFP GROW JOURNAL
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 10:22 pm
Hello, I am doing a GFP journal on the 400w Solar Storm. I run 250w mh/hps in my tents, and am interested in running the Solar Storm against my 250w mh/hps. My tents are finishing up my GIGABUD grow(about 10 days from finishing), so I will give a rundown of my setup and what I plan on doing in my next grow when the tents are ready. I will give weekly updates and pics very soon.
The goods---
2 Grow Lab 80 tents(2'7''x2'7''x5'11'')(tent #1 sunleaves 250w system mh/hps)(tent #2 Solar Storm 400w). Both tents are Carbon scrubbed and vented with 4 inch exhaust. Will have to play with the speed bully to get the desired temps and humidity at the sweet spot.
3 gal tall pots hand watered with tap water.
Fox Farms Ocean Forrest mixed 50/50 with Fox Farms Light Warrior and perlite.
Nutrients-BC starter kit-with Advanced Nutrients carboload, kushie kush, snow storm and sugaree(not all at once)
timer will be set to 20 hours on and 4 hours off.
The beans will be.......wait for it..........World of Seeds.....Afghan Kush Ryder of the autoflowering variety.
I know this grow will not be apples to apples, but what I am after is looking at light penetration and veg aspects of led vs. mh/hps. I will run 2 plants per tent. The enviroments are within 1 degree of each other andboth tents are vented on 1 fan. I hope you all stay tuned, and am looking forward to the next post and pics...
