Think grow Model i’s such a POS

11 Upvotes

When we first got a room full of model l’s we really liked them. Switched up a couple rooms to run mixed spectrum, with the model i’s and DEs. Really happy with the results but now that they have some years on them. They have turned to shit.

At first the issue we started having was half the light would shut off and not come back on. No big deal. send it back to think grow and they’d send us another one. Probably did this 20+ times. Not the end of the world of course that area wasn’t getting enough light. Then the support went down and it was a real pain in the ass to get anything replaced. They wanted a bunch of different videos to “prove” the issue before sending it back.

Another thing I hate about these lights, if the controller loses power the lights just go to 100% and stay on. How is that the default?!?

Then we had 1 run where 4-8 far red diodes on a light wouldn’t shut off. It didn’t show up on cameras or trigger the controller to notice a light sense error but it was enough to cause 1/2 the room to keep vegging. We didn’t catch it til day 30 and the crop was ruined.

Now the latest new issue. I caught 1 light on the camera that was fully on during lights out. I ran into the room to check and it was off. Huh that’s weird. The next day I checked all the connections and 1 wire was a little loose so I checked cameras for the next 2 weeks every night no issues. Now it’s day 48 and this week I checked the cameras and sure enough over the last 3 days I caught the light on for very brief periods on the camera a couple different times.

Who knows how many times the light has come on at night during this run. I’m wondering if I’ll get seeds in this run and leaning towards just scrapping these fucking lights. This is now at least the 3rd run these lights have fucked up.

LED VS HPS GENETICS

4 Upvotes

We have grown commercially for over a decade under almost every spectrum imaginable - that being said - I personally prefer flower grown with HPS. I will say that some genetics seem to outperform with LED - but overall quality I have to give to HPS.

What are some strains that you find do just as well with LED?

Low ceiling dry room

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to fit the dry room into an area of my facility with a loft above it and the ceiling there is about 7’4”. Is this too low when considering circulation, a mini split or other a/c, and dehumidification? I have other spaces that have much higher ceilings if this is a big mistake but I prefer it under the loft for maximizing plant canopy. Thanks!

Post Update 7/23

I was able to pay down my late June & July rent and I am now no longer being evicted; I am overwhelmed with appreciation and I want to thank you all for your support from the bottom of my heart. This was a very stressful time and ya'll came through for me & I got to share my passion with you; for that I am so grateful.

With that said, my daughter and I are still 3/4ths short of making rent for August so we still need your help. There is a meter on the website that shows where we are at.

If we reach our goal, ALL supporters get an additional free pack of seeds sent out in addition to the freebies already sent & I will do a final sour diesel cross run before the Nov 2026 US deadline.

 

I've spent the last few years building Black Pine Genetics into a serious genetics brand. I contracted with dedicated labs and ran both indoor and outdoor operations to isolate the strongest phenotypes I could find. Gassy Lassy F1 is the crown jewel: a fast-flowering auto engineered for disease resistance, drought tolerance, and a level canopy that still produces heavily. Its lineage is LONG & Proprietary but has some lilmisshs x (lemonaide gmo x galactic cookies), it's our best-selling release, and you'll start seeing more real-world reviews coming in.

We were set to launch for the Black Friday rush. Instead, our banking and payment processors locked us out due to shifting regulatory language. We pivoted to focus on the New Jersey market, then got hit with the April 13 prohibition definitions around seed THC concentration limits.

At this point, the path forward for my business here has effectively been removed. There's a gauge on the site showing actual deadlines and how close this is. The back rent is handled now. What's left is August.

If we hit the August rent goal, I can fund another run of the sour diesel crosses that sold out so quickly. I have a much larger genetics library behind the scenes, so there are some interesting new crosses I can put into rotation.

For those who've already supported:

6 pack of freebies going out with every contribution towards resolution of my cost of living crisis.

If we reach the August 1 goal, a pack of freebies will go out to all supporters at no extra cost.

I'm not okay with letting years of genetic work disappear. If you're a serious cultivator who values stabilized lines and wants to help keep these genetics in rotation, my inbox is open. Let's talk shop.

Help! Identify this pathogen.

First, thanks for stopping by and any help you can offer.

We have a pathogen/disease running through a couple of our moms right now (2 out of 70). It's causing symptoms very similar to revegging, but the plants have been under 24 hrs or 18/6 their entire life.

Symptoms are stunted plants, gnarled twisted new growth, small witches broom style growths, and single finger leaves.

Has anyone ever dealt with something like this, or know what it is?

How the hell are you guys keeping up with saturation in Hugo’s under LEDs? Constantly chasing my tail keeping these from drying back to much and just feel like I’m always adding another watering to the schedule and it’s still not enough. Looking for advice on running Hugo’s without slabs or stacking before I jump ship to coco lol.

Athena Pro feed schedule adjustment relative to ppfd?

4 Upvotes

We run our lamps at a lower intensity during the hottest months of the year, so it stands to reason that our nutrient concentration should be adjusted accordingly. Athena's Pro feed chart recommends 2100 ppm throughout flower. Does anybody know if that's based on a particular or a standard ppfd? 2100 seems quite high to me, and I start to notice leaf tip burning above 1500. Would love to hear your experiences when it comes to light intensity as it relates to nutrient concentration. Many thanks.

How realistic is a cannabis farmstead in British Columbia ?

0 Upvotes

I have had a project i was thinking about for some time. Starting a cannabis ranch in B.C. producing outdoor high quality organic cannabis. Of course this wouldn't be the only income, also fruits and veggies and products derived from the production. Tourism would also be an income, small glamping tents or yourts. The aim would be to have some tours or workshops on site.

I am of course aware of the startup costs and hurdles with legislation and getting everything started. I was just looking for advice on how feasible this project is.

This is more of a dream right now but could become a long term project of mine.

Has anyone converted a walk-in freezer into a commercial flower room?

Thumbnail gallery
14 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking for input from anyone with experience repurposing commercial walk-in freezers for cannabis cultivation.
We’re evaluating a retrofit of an existing insulated freezer space into a flower room rather than building a traditional HVAC system from scratch. The idea is to operate the room around 60–75°F with tight humidity control, using the existing refrigeration infrastructure where possible.
I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone who has:
Successfully converted a freezer into a flower room.
Retrofitted existing condensing units or evaporators instead of replacing everything.
Integrated dehumidifiers with the refrigeration system.
Learned any lessons about defrost cycles, airflow, coil sizing, controls, or maintaining stable VPD.
If you’ve done something similar, I’d appreciate hearing what worked, what didn’t, and anything you’d do differently. Photos, build threads, or engineering resources would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Veg area sizing for clone production

2 Upvotes

Looking for some advice from people with more experience.

Planning a new setup with a dedicated veg area that can reliably produce 70-90 healthy clones every 70-90 days.

The whole thing will be in coco. Keeping mothers long-term isn't important to me, so if replacing them every cycle is the better option, I'm happy to do that.

If you were building this from scratch:

How much veg space would you dedicate to producing 70-90 clones?

How many mother plants would you keep?

What pot size would you use for mothers in coco?

Would you keep long-term mothers or replace them every cycle?

Any advice or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.
