Thanks. Ya I hear ya about LED’s. Was thinking about building one with either 4 QB 288 boards or 6 QB 96’s and using a dimmable driver so I can use the same unit for veg as well. The spec 2’s on the 288’s are nice. Won’t be buying no cheap $100 unit from amazon or Ali or anything. Want to build one.Hey man no worries
how many weeks is that now? they look good really plumped up,
With Leds unless you buy a high end one like a gavita or HLG 550 etc... your end flower will not compete with a 600watt+ HID lamp
hehe I don't advise changing to a LED unless its a really high end one for flowering so you can see the leaves. You will likely be disappointed brother. Just use a flashlight or take them outside the room if you want to see the leaves.
I had a friend buy 2 blurples I told him the company says they are 1000watts but the actual draw and umol/ is low etc ... he didnt listen for 2 grows and 2 grows he got fluff.... he came to me defeated after the second grow failed and said " why dont my buds look like yours" and I gave him some tough love after countless times telling him in a nice way to use my spare 600w, power bill $$$ bla bla... I finally said dude your buds are fluff because you bought 2x 90$ Chinese blurple pieces of shit and ignored my advice, thats why your bud is fluffy ass nicklefritz... long story short, he used a 600watt the next run, and pulled like 620 grams which is pretty fucking badass tbh...
Stick with the Hps, for flower. Dial in your feedings maintain that environment and the next round will be twice as good.
drying and curing - Cut the plant down at the stock and hang it whole with fan leaves and all. 60degrees 60% humidity for 14days ish - then jars and cure
Cheers brother, they really recovered from the before pics
The strain is Bubba Kush and I switched to 12/12 (flower) June 7th so that puts me around 51 days. I just fed them today around 3 Litres and that usually gets me about 3 days before I have to water again. Don’t know if I should be using nutes all the way to the end of cutback soon and use just tap water. Love how plump they are getting and nice and sticky as well
