2 Strains Grown Under 2 Solar Spec 150s

This depends on the volume of the mini totes + the volume of your rez + the size of the pump
 
In my case I am using a 2.5g rez with 160 gph pump, which empties in ~ 50 seconds, but the net pots only get ~ 3/4 flooded
 
Pretty good, though I would prefer higher flood
 
I have a thread in the hydro section

 

Med-Man Silver Skunk Big Mex (sat) air dried
 
Weigh in on 2 scales (one only reads gms, the other 0.10gms)
 
Both tally @ 39gms
 
Keep in mind all the pilot error with first Solar Spec grow, PLUS, this came from back-cross plants that I pollinated with 4ft Big Mex male. Got a bunch of 'runts' compared to the original BC 1
 
New seedlings are blowing up in my 2 Strain thread

 

Baby Update

The MED Man Silver Skunk (on the left in both pics) has been getting full spectrum from SS 150.

Nodes are tight, secondary branching excellent

The BrandX WH x WW (may actually be WW x G13) but definitely pollinated with G13 are ~ 2 weeks younger. Also doing well. Pinching on one did not take, so pinched it again this morning

 

The SS panels I have all come with 2 switches. This go-round I am vegging using both. Last go-round I used the veg only (during veg), which led to much smaller plants, though pheno could have played a part too

 

(10/09) I added the second SS 150 this morning, keeping it ~ 4" higher than the SS 150 over the bigger plants
 
Mag deficiency began showing ~ 5 days ago. Been foliar feeding with Mg
 
Fresh nutes including Dutch Master Zone + Epsom Salt
 
Newer leafs are proper green

 

Timeline
 
2 surviving Silver Skunks
 
(palmetto bug ate the other 7), sprouts began to break the surface 11/30
 
 
1/2 is now ~ 12" tall <span style="color:rgb(0,0,205);"> , so this morning (1/10) I turned off the red button on the SS 150 over them</span>
 
WH x G13; pollinated with G13
 
12/19 sprouts popped
 
Seeds started during a ~ 10 day cold snap, meaning plants were slow to veg
 
Both have longish stem to first inter-node, but subsequent nodes are tight.
 
Pinched one again yesterday as first pinch did not bifurcate

 

Thinking through turning off the red over the 2 Silver Skunks, I decided to turn it back on later in the day
 
It occurred to me that I can simply swap them with the 2 reveg in the SS260 tent

 

Thanks Ice!  How's the new job?
 
Nowhere near the volume from the same strain as last grow under a BML SPYDR, but I am convinced the Solar Specs are superior leds for cannabis. There were other issues than simply getting used to new led panels
 
Took a < 2 week dried bud to a buddy yesterday. I used fine scissors and barely trimmed a small amount of the outer leaf segments.
 
We were both amazed. The high came in waves that made us grin. Very upbeat. He said he hadn't felt like that in years
 
The new plants I started under them are doing really well
 
Expecting a lot bigger plants from now on

 

I have been keenly aware that one of the 2 revegs is not sprouting new leafs except a few tiny leafs at the very base
 
Although I initially cut the old roots back, the roots growing outside the net pot are still dark and old, even after adding DM Zone
 
I just finished a semi-replant, first cutting back the necrotic roots then taking the smaller net pot out of the larger. 
 
I then removed and cleaned the stones imbedded in the roots
 
Next I moved to a larger net pot and back into the tote
 
I also put the 2 WH x G13 into larger net pots

 

I just couldn't wait until tomorrow to post new pics
 
First, I wanted a marker for the reveg with teeny tiny leafs at the base. Will it, or won't it ? Pic #3
 
Compare these to the pics 4 days ago
 
The Silver Skunks look amazing under the 260. I lowered the panel a few inches late yesterday (pic 1 & 2)
 
And so do the 2 WH x G13s. (pic 4 & 5) Even the retarded Silver Skunk that started out with twisted leafs. New leafs are looking more normal

 

On recommendation, I pinched the bifurcated tops on the larger Silver Skunk this morning
 
I also dropped the light a few more inches hoping to invigorate the smaller plant, though it could just be a smaller pheno

 

I wait until 3-4th node, Keep in mind the main stem can be quite delicate until they grow a bit

 

As can be seen looking at the 2 Silver Skunk phenos, they are quite different size wise.
 
I just popped 10 more beans in h2o this morning in search of growing more taller SS phenos. The head is the same, but it take the same amount of time and care to grow bigger plants

 

Some seeds are DOA.
 
I've had 30 hour+ seeds that barely cracked the hull in h2o, but grew once in the starter cubes (the fn cockroach loved them)
 
Young sprouts love humidity.
 
Domes are essential when ambient humidity is low
 
Heat pads help when temps are < 55*s

I have read where some actually scuff the husks with fine sand paper
 
Water temp should be ~ 70-80*s. Lower temp will slow them down
