Added a Tri-meter to the setup to help with nutrient maintenance. I highly recommend these things as they save a lot of effort when watching your nutrient concentration and pH I also decided to crawl under the rails and take some pictures. This is pretty much what I have to do every day to …
Well, The harvest are continuing to get larger and more frequent and the fruit size is increasing. Looks like the adjustments we have been making have paid off.

Yesterday Charles and I spent some time getting our grow spaces ready for the next major UHGU project. Although I’m not quite ready to let the cat out of the bag on what the project is exactly I can say that it will involve 2 grow tents and some Roma Tomato plants (more on this [...]

Starting to fine tune the parameters. Added an air-stone into the reservoir as well as some flora-nectar. Harvested the first really full size fruit today. Looks like this grow is continuing to increase in quantity and quality.
Since Charles is about to move and in between grows. I get to hog some wattage. Check out these pics of a 4×4 grow lab with (4) 90W UFO LEDs. That’s right my friends, 360W of LED glory. If I don’t get some boostamente out of this setup, I might just have to give up [...]
I’ll be posing alot of video updates soon. Until then, enjoy. Tigerlily, ragnar, or red any advice on nutrient mixture? I am currently using 3-part flora series in a 1-1-1 ratio at 500ppm.

A new system and strawberries planted. Any of you guys got experience or advice for growing strawberries? What about pH and nutrient strength? Since Tiger Lilly gave us such nice props on the GH growblog. I thought I would post a link to the UHGU mission statement for any new visitors. Check it out and [...]
I came home from work to check on my plants and got this nice surprise. I didn’t think my T5 would be enough light to flower these tomatoes. I can’t wait to get one of them under LED and see what happens
Have you ever noticed that when you get up early on a Saturday morning to cook some flapjacks, the first one never seems to come out quite right? The same always seems to be true for plants. The first fruit from a given plant always seems to be a little undersized and take a little [...]
So I added some GO CaMg to the light nutrient (maxigrow 700ppm) solution that i am feeding to my little mama and sugar snack tomatoes seedlings and boy have the last two days been exciting to watch! Plants have nearly doubled in size! I plan to turn the best of these seedlings in to clones [...]
