GFP Solarstorm 400W - Switching from CFLs
Posted: Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:59 pm
Hi all,
I just received my Solarstorm 400w as a a part of the GFP and am excited to see the changes in growth from my previous setup. For the past two years I've been growing in a minimal setup: Large wardrobe box from Uhaul with multiple 2700K CFLs of various wattage. I've been successful in growing one plant at a time in this box for personal use, but wanted to upgrade my setup since this has become more of a passion rather than just a hobby. I have been getting around 55-70g dried and manicured per plant with the cardboard box setup.
Unfortunately, there was damage to one of my plants while setting up the intake fan and filter, but I was able to cut the damaged branches into clones and they're currently rooting with the rest of the babies.
I'm about two weeks into 12/12 flowering and have three plants in a tent that's about 35x20x60. It's a tight squeeze due to stretching and I think moving forward I'll stick with two plants.
I'm only a few days in, but will post some pics as a starting point.
Here's a breakdown of the current grow:
35x20x60 tent
170CFM intake fan and charcoal filter
Solarstorm 400W
growing medium - Coco Peat
nutes: Fox farms - Grow Big, Big Blooms, Tiger Blooms
three plants: BLUE DIESEL, AC/DC (phenotype of Cannatonic), and LAVENDER
I look forward to any and all comments and advice.
Thanks!
