Budworms are a big problem if unchecked. The mold is a issue in bud damaged by the worms. With carefull trimming you can salvage anything that is not moldy. Aethetics are gross but after drying you cannot tell. At very least the mildly damaged bud is good for bubble or medibles. I cannot tell...

What kind of air circulation is blowing on the plants. The blooms look fine as does the foleage. The stems appear weak so I am guessing they have not been adequately ventilated to induce the stems to thicken up. Plan on a fair amount of staking and tieing to keep those plants standing up.

If it is an indoor grow just pick off the few pillars as you find them. That should be very limited cause you do not have butterflies or moths to lay eggs indoor. For outdoor treat weekly with BT or Spinosad

Looks right an schedule and excellent. Figure at least 4 more weeks.

Having done 3 LED only grows with a total of 10 strains now. I agree something looks off. I would have guessed that these were pics from day 25-30 of flower. Plants looks healthy and frosty but the bud mass is nowhere near what it should be IMHO.

Maxpesh I like this journal. I have done several LED grows and think your results were pretty good. Some tweaks in your grow or more units of lower wattage may have slightly increased yield but this is pretty typical of what most good or so called premium panels can do. I have used Generic 1w...

Spinosad for sure. Do not go with BT alone. If you do go with BT at all mix with distilled water or at least water that sits a couple days so the chlorine does not kill the BT.

Purely strain dependent. Have some plants 3 weeks in and others in preflower still.

Start spraying with Spinosad or BT to control budworms it they occur in your area. It sounds like they do. Great JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In half strength or less grow nutes would be safe immediately. To clarify, losing leaves on a short vegg cycle in early flower is not normal. Losing quite a few regardless of nute regimen is entirely normal for plants with a long vegg period, particularly outdoor. These leaves are usually bottom...

Cannot tell for sure without pics but probably normal. If the newer growth and buds are looking good you probably have nothing bad going on.

I have posted periodically on this thread. Have done 3 LED grows now using a generic Chinese Ebay panel, two 240 Watt Blackstars, 2 Magenta Kessil h150s and 1 HH pro grow 180. All have worked quite well. Best results per watt have been with the kessils for sure. Not a plug, just my experience...

Plants do look great. It you want to bring them to the next level for flowering you will need to put them in larger containers. Figure at least 30 gallon. The 24 or 36 " landscape wood planters are readily available and not too expensive. Check the inland empire CL. They will finish fine in 15...

Looks great Max. I have 2 grows with 2011 Blackstars and both were superb. You will not be dissapointed. Great job.

Thanks. Have been following your grow. Do not post often on this forum. I am sold on LEDs though

11 ladies in the current grow

I am finishing up my 3rd LED grow. My system is about 1000 W and draws about 650W while covering a 4 x 6' area. It consists of 1 Hydroponics hut 180, 1 generic 300W chinese panel, 2 Blackstar 240 vegg models and 2 H150 Magenta kessils. Have 1 more week till harvest. Here are some pics.

Have not browsed this entire thread but first thing I would do is check the soil PH. That does look like a micronutrient deficiency. Both acid and alkaline PH makes some micronutrients unavailable so that may be the cause. Also what is the PH an salt content of your water? Start there, flush...

Address a couple of the above posts. First chinese panels. On Ebay it is a Turkey shoot. Some are very good but most are not up to specs or worse kill plants. The killer panels probably do so by emitting way too much UV. Next subject is the Kessils. No question they are overpriced and had some...

Thanks for the replies. I actually hope my ladies do root into the ground letting them develop more root mass as they become monsters. Thanks so much for the replies.
