EARLY WONDER SKUNK AUTO FLOWER/MIXED STRAIN LED GROW - 2 x VIPAR A300's

[Amaximus]

i think there is a hallucinogen section on the site here but i will be updating my progress in this thread for sure man dont think a whole other thread is necessary , so you will for sure see how everything goes . maybe another 5 or 6 days and ill start fruiting the mushrooms.

soon as i heard 5-6 weeks flowering time i hopped on board lol but who knows im sure it will take longer hopefully not though , the blueberry was absolutely delicious after a good cure very fruity and aromatic fucking love that stuff and it will be the strain im gonna grow on my up coming scrog run stay tuned!

Sweet. Now I'm excited to see how your shroom grow goes. Let the fruiting begin!

I almost forgot about the Blueberry! I miss seeing that girl updated. I look forward to seeing that strain used in a scrog.

Yeah, That is going to be interesting, indeed. How big is your grow space again? How many blueberries do you think you'll use to scrog with? two?

I'm gonna have to set up another tent soon. I know I need to slow down but I have so many different grows I want to try. I'm gonna live vicariously through your grows!

what up maximus , im growing in a 4x4x7 tent i also have a 4x4x2 tent so i might try a little scrog in there and see how it goes .... not to sure yet, i hear ya on the wanting to do to many things at once im in the same boat man lots of different techniques i wana try but seems i never have the space or time

Nice. I only have one other tent but its small, only good enough for maybe a six week veg for four plants. I wish it were big enough so I could do a scrog. Oh well, All things in due time. Until then I'll wait on yours. Blueberry... drool....

what up world been a little busy but i managed to snap some pics of the plants today and things look fucking great! the plants are growing in a fairly uniform pattern and although they havnt showed sex yet growth is steady and im a happy man. temps are hanging around 80-85 and R/H is around 45-50 held off o feeding them today as the coco was still damp in all the pots but i plan on giving a higher dosage of nutes next feed as these guys are beefing up. threw in some shots of my veg tent got a few different strains going in there .... gots the blueberry , sour cherry , cheese chunks , purple and OG kush as well as some rockstars ... cant wait to try some of these out probly gonna be a while before i get a chance though got to much shit going on and i plan on keeping my word and trying a scrog next grow. today i am also starting the fruiting process for my mushies basically just taking the cakes out of the jars and throwing them in a pot of water for 24 hours to soak ill try and snap some pics of that when im doing it and post em in a bit , until then here are the early wonders

Looking great. The brighter looking pairs on the unit are whites?

*Nvm about the whites. What color are those ones?

 

[curly604]

haha what up gastanker those bright ass little bastards are the blues! only red, blue and far red in these panels and let me tell ya they work fucking great!

 

[Amaximus]

All looking good curly. I did not realize how many plants you were running. Glad to see you got another Blueberry going, You plan on scrogging that one or is the scrog going to be later?

What is involved with the fruiting process with the shrooms? Your putting them in water for 24 hours... What happens after that?

Are you following a guide of any sort as far as the shrooms go? Anything you can link? Sorry for all the questions. heh.

Im going to buy the A300 has great potential ! Would you say that the A300 could replace my 600w hps ? if so Ill buy 2 A300 as I have a 120x240x200 tent setup in mind

 

[Downinit]

Hey curly! Looking at black star 240w 3w chip LED? I have a 4ft by 30" space with two plants.. Will the black star be enough?? I thin they recommend it for 3ft by 2ft space.. What do u think??

 

[Downinit]

Can't really afford those vipars

 

[digimidgi]

Hello Curly.
Can i ask you a few questions? How much heat does 1 of those Vipar panels produce? How many plants can you grow under 1 300w panel without overcrowding?
And do the 120mm fans inside make much noise? ... And... In your honest opinion.. do you think the LED chips being so close to each other, will they last as long as they maker states?
I'm thinking of buying either 2 A200's or 1 A3OO ..... or ... another plant photonic 140w.

Thanks

heya down in it well to e honest i dont think that would be enough light in that space the blackstar"240w" really on runs at 135w of true power ..... not sure if you were aware of that but when ya think about it a BS240w costs 300$ and it only gives ya 135w of power where as the vipar A200 cost is around 400$ but ya get 200w of true light power not to mention blackstars only have a 1 year warranty vipar has a 3 year policy .... that alone says alot. but coming back to your grow space it would be ideal for you to have more that one unit in there say 2 A100's or 2 blackstar "240's" but it all depends man ya could get by with just an A200 or just a blackstar240 all depends what ya wanna get out of there and what kind grow its gonna be , but honestly if i had my choice between a 300$ 135w panel and a 400$ 200w panel that had a much better warranty you can bet i would drop the extra 100 bucks hope this helps ya out a bit man cheers

what up digi thanks for stopping in always glad to answer a few questions for a fellow hobbyist in need , well i cant tell ya exactly what your gonna produce off a A300 lots of factors involved there friend but i can tell ya that on my last run that had a few problems worst of which was a few ladies i had to throw in late when i found some males i pulled 6.5 oz's off my two panels but those girls that got in there late didnt produce much at all my bad though not the panels this run i have going now will be better. but in general i would say that if your a good grower and get a good routine going you could very easily pull 1 gram per watt again lots of factors involved.

as far as how many plants you can fit under one of these really depends on what kinda plants ya got i had 4 huge and 2 small plants on my last grow and it was pretty crowded in my tent but my 4 were monsters you could fit 10 under one of them if they were smaller or just a couple big huge ones all up to you man hard to put an exact number on that.

the fans on the vipar A300 is one of my favorite parts two big fans that dont make barely any noise at all , my spectra 290w was beast compared to the vipar i love the fact that its much quieter i hate having it sound like a leaf blower going off in my tent. also in my opinion the heat distribution systems on the panels take care of any heat issues and the chips being as close as they are will still not have any issues. overall vipars are great panels man the best ive owned to be honest and ive owned a few you wont regret buying from them im sure of it , cheers man hope this helps ya out.

what up maximus! never a problem askin questions around here man always feel free to ask as many as ya like , that blueberry i have going now might be the one i use for the scrog if not it will be a clone from her still a ways off from ending this grow i got now so we will see but i kinda wanna start my scrog with a small clone and get the full grow experience .

you are right about the mushrooms about a week after the jars are 100% colonized you birth them and soak them for 24 hours in a big pot then you roll them in vermiculite to add a casing layer and then place them in your fruiting chamber and mist heavily on the first tie you put em in and then a bit daily should be about 2-3 weeks before i got some nice mushies in my hands heres a link for a good set of videos Lets grow mushrooms

heya skorchem thanks for stopping by , the A300 has great potential indeed im not really into the whole this vs that kinda stuff but i think an A300 could come close to matching what a 600w hps produces.... it all depends on the grower and the grow style but with the A300 your not gonna need all the bullshit that comes along with hps growing (hoods ,fans ,bulbs , balsts ,A/C, ect) so thats were the big advantage comes in but with 2 A300's in your tent you will be a very happy man guaranteed

wow.. pf tek looks so much easier than it sounds, hah! i might have to actually try that now wher did you order spores from?

"Good morning Jim, what'cha makin'? " - Lol! Great little video

I've got a much better understanding of what your up to now. This is much different than what my friends step father printed out for us. He must've found some old hippy shit guide from years back. The damn thing he printed out was like 20 pages. heh. There doesn't really seems to be too much involved just as long as you keep everything sterile. I'm seriously interested now. Keep us informed of your progress. Thanks again curly.

i picked up my spores at my local seed bank and i think they deliver too , vancouverseedbank.ca if they dont then check out shroomery.org or mushbox.com they both have links and or sell spores themselves. also the pf tek is easier looking than it sounds but if your not careful about contamination it will turn into a big headache quick! so make sure to sterilize your self and your work area very very very! well
