Thanks Tricks! Sounds like good advice. This grow box is so small 3 x 2 and if I had more room I would have spread out the canopy during the stretch period. I was out of room the moment I went to flower, so I had to let the canopy run free! Next time though!
Ya so far so good under my LED! I am also growing $100 OG Kush in my other grow. Check that out too! It is in my sig (500w blackstar)
Totally agree with you! This started out first as an LED experiment. The SCROG screen was too high and I do sense a higher sativa presence. Because of the cramped box I bought a grow tent.
You learn something each grow. hehe Specially if your doing something new. Like growing with leds.
Yeah, yeah... sounds like you already figured it out prior to my comment. Not surprising...an obsessive nature is what all us growers have in common. You should be proud of your accomplishment... especially if this is your first grow? Or did you mean your first LED grow?
Im still pretty new to growing. This is my 4th grow in total, 1st grow under LED. I grew 6 OG Kushes 1 grow (Hydro), 6 AK 47s another (hydro), 110 HOG in a guerilla grow in the hills (soil in grow bags that was sketchy as shit), and now this LED and my other current LED grow. Still learning but I learned a lot from my previous grows..
Yeah, the 1000w high intensity discharge lamp is tough to beat, but I went through your latest bud photos for the first time on my mac at home, and it looks a lot clearer what you've done. I'm very impressed with the overall vigor of your plants and the density of your nugs with what you call a 300w light. When you consider that mathematically breaks down to a difference of 700 effective watts, the results you've gotten with LED is astounding. If you look at it carefully, your buds look pretty comparable to mine, just my photos are clearer and my nodes are tighter. And you say you've done hydro before, so I'm sure you know if that was in a bubble bucket, your nugs would be even bigger and denser under that LED. It's a really cool gadget imo. I bet if I just swapped out my thousand watter and big ol buzzing ballast, lined my box wall to wall with say four LED fixtures (one for each side on the walls and one really powerful one suspended above), it could possibly exceed what I've done with MH and HPs. And no heat means perfect, heat-stress free plants and buds. I like the fact that your colas are like kissing the light and your leaves are all lush and picture perfect without any sign of heat stress from the light, or wind stress from the air circulation needed to cool the light. Amazing. I think I'm becoming an LED believer.
Thanks again bro! Ya I'm pretty impressed with the LED technology! My Plants have never been so green and healthy. What size is your grow room? You might not need that many lights. Anyways, I'm lOoking forward to the final results, then I'll be a total diehard believer!
Ive seen this video! Pretty awesome eh? I wear my gangster locs (real dark sunglasses), everytime I open up that tent or my growbox. I think my eyes are used to it, because it doesn't seem too bad anymore. I used to see white spots after looking at it.
Yeah pretty awsome video. Hope your tops turnout the same!
Looking good, friend. Can you point out which cola that broken branch belongs to? In my mad scientist style of system, even if there is the slightest bit of living tissue hanging on, it WILL heal itself in a matter of a few days. The healed area gets covered in woody growth and the branch is just fine, even stronger. That thing might just hang on. I've broken branches lots a times by over-aggressive training. Just make sure there is pressure at the contact point and hope for the best.
Sup Tricks? Yes they are really that Dark Dark green! Crazy huh? No there is no clawing going on.Whats up sleezy1, still looks good.
Was wondering tho, are those fan leaves really this dark green or is that your iphone?
Also it looks like you got some clawing going on ?
Smoked some lemon skunk that cured for a long time, so if im wrong dont hold it against me.
