awesome job man +rep

about the whole led thing yes you can flower/veg with them but the results your getting now are A+ i wouldnt part maybe get a 240watt for supplemental lighting plus you will have a wider range of spectrums

if your determined to try something new check this...

I have been following this thread, it looks great. I noticed you mentioned how fast the beans germinated but I can't find mention of what method you used for germination? Did you do the paper towel thing? Or something else?

I used the paper towel method, with distilled water. I covered them with plastic wrap and placed them in a warm place.

End of Flowering week 7

I had some issues this week, first I droped my 8 lb carbon scrubber on my plant #1.........BUMMER!!!. It did not do as much damage as I first thought, it cracked one branch and bent a few more. My screen very well secured, so it did not collapse. After a few days she seems fine. Having the scrubber in my tent sure did help the odor issue. Then I noticed 3 hermi pods on my plant #2, They had not opened, I pulled them off and viewed one under a micro scope and it was a definitely a hermi pod. I discovered that is was caused by my defective digital timer, it was turning on during the night. I will be watching for anymore pods. Even if one opens, I think it will not be a problem because I am now planing to harvest next Sunday. I flushed one plant Friday and the others yesterday. I will post pics tomorrow.

Hey Jessy

I am planning on growing some aurora my next grow. I got some Purps in 5th week of flower right now, and one went hermie on me. I am planning on scrogging the aurora as well. I will be using dutch master nutes gold line.

Did you have any calmag deficiency issues with the aurora?
Do you count your time in flower since the switch or when the first female pistols show up?

I did have a calmag deficiency, it may have been from starting with distilled water. I used Epsom salts as a quick fix, changed to my filtered tap water and add calmag plus to my nute solution. That fixed my problem.

I found female flowers on all 3 plants in less than 5 days from the change to 12/12, so I just count from the 12/12 switch.

I counted 3 weeks as seedling stage, then veg stage for the next 5 weeks. So they grew 8 weeks at 18/6. They have just ended the 7th week of 12/12. Aurora Indica is said to have a 7 to 9 week flowering period (not that that means anything). I have about 20% amber now, I'm looking for 60 to 80 because I found that is the best for my spasms, pain and seizures. I think they should be close by the end of the week.

A lot of people give me grief about the 80% amber, but I know what helps my symptoms so that is what I will do. I do not smoke it, so maybe that the difference

Well you are doing great. My first grow was a T5 scrog and I would reccomend it to every noob. It is so easy to get great results and makes you look forward to your next grow. Have fun with it.

In what stage did the calmag def start showing up in your plants and how far along were you in the stage when it showed up? I got a calmag def using the dutch master gold. They claim they have enough of it in the nutes but it doesn't seem that they do. I had a veteran grower on here recommend to use the calmag supplement as soon as you flip the light cycle.

The problem started around week 1 & 2 of veg, after the epsom and calmag plus It was gone.

Day 49 of 12/12 ( starting week 8 )
105 days from Germination

This is the last week, I plan to chop next Sunday. I will go lights out for Friday and Saturday. I think they look great, Very dense buds. I have know idea what the yield will be.They are covered in beautiful crystal snow !!! I'm on the look out for any hermi pods, but I think its to late for any problems. This is my first try at growing, I have encountered very few problems with this Aurora Indica. I think that may be due to the strain and the months of studying and preparation.

I hate to sound repetetive, but I hope to have results like this in another 5-6 weeks. Great work Jessy, I look forward to seeing those harvest pics, as well as follow your next journal. Please remember to share your dry weight when you're done too, it's always nice to know after following along with someone's whole grow. I hope to see a lot more gardening from you over time. =)

Harvest Day !

Just spent 6 hours chopping, trimming and sterilizing my tent. I think a person could make millions if they created a machine to trim, trimming sucks.
I have a lot of thick dense buds. I plan to hang, then use the Rumpleforeskin brown bag method. Then cure in mason jars. They look great hanging.
I have a lot more that I thought I would. Still no idea of how much it will yield

NIce!!! Did you follow the Pistils method or you used Magnifier? I'm cutting down tonight ;)

I used my 30x magnifier, some buds were well over 50% amber, some at around 50 and some under. A lot of the pistils had retracted and the swelling looked good, so I figured it was time.
