NICE ! I literally mized like .25 ml / L of FF Grow + .25ml/L of FF Fish mix..... Barely anything.. But my seedling seemed to be receptive! The thing about nutes this early is that, depending on your soil, they might not need any at all. My theory : better to add too little than too much and burn them.. Fingers crossed for your baby to be happy with the food!! Ill be on here in a few hours with another update -
Well I mixed 2 tsp into a gallon of water and then poured it into a couple 16oz water bottles, I poured about the whole bottle into the 1 plant tonight, I figured I'd do one first and see what happens so if it fucks it up, I don't do multiple haha
UPDATE TIME OK guys I added in Another UFO- this one is 90x3 watt diodes pulling about 140 true watts . I Also added a 12 watt 660nm red e27 bulb. So that puts the tent at a total of around 275 true watts of LED power PUMPIN!!! This should be more than enough to produce killer buds....as long as I don't fuck anything up too bad! I also have more lights and very well may switch things around when we get to flower. -plant updates- The seeds are 10 days above soil - They popped above ground on FEB 1st. The Two Aurora Indica seedlings are doing well! The shorter one is really starting to grow leaves.. It grew a bunch! And the taller one is coming along as well.. It may be a more sativa pheno/ or a male. the reason I say this is because its so tall and stretchy compared to its counterpart. Then again I could be totally wrong, and hope I am about the male part at least... The clones - two Lemon Thai X bubba kush bitches.... I have them tied down and they are growing too!! Seems they like it a little rough.... They don't mind the restraints at all! They were watered yesterday with .25ml per liter of Biobizz Grow & Fish mix. Soil is still moist but this light of a mix definitely is drying out as fast as I want it to... Plenty of air pockets down there!!! I am glad I added as much perlite as I did. I HAD TO TURN THE NEW HIGH POWERED LED UFO OFF when I was in there looking at the plants up close. .... That mofo is STRONG! I could literally feel the light penetrating into my skin.... No doubt these plants are loving the spectrum and blend of lights in there. I Expect Exponential growth from this day forward, as all the plants have taken to their new 3 gallon pots and are growing. As they continue to get acclimated.... stick around and Sub to the thread!! SEEMS THIS IS SHAPING UP TO BE AN AWESOME GROW!
Hey man I've been wondering, where did you get your LED lights and do you remember what they cost? They def seem good but they seem so pricey
Just checked and I payed 67 and 78 for the UFOs respectively. More wattage was more money . they were purchased at different times so idk what they would cost now.. The lower wattage model is probably even cheaper now!
I just don't understand it all, the whole wavelength thing, what colors for when, it's all so confusing man
Yes... It is def a lot to take in! I have been an LED troll for years now... Waited for the Tech to improve but now its all available! And not so expensive anymore. Look at the full spectrum COB LED chips.. Those are the future!!! These UFOs I am using are old technology. Still works well but the cutting edge is the COB technology.
Blue colors are veg. Red is flower. The plant needs a SYNERGY of all the wavelengths though, but the beauty of LED is you can control the synergy and ratios and tweak in hopes for a better final product
Ehh, idk just seems complex. I found this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00I2VLMJ2/ref=pd_aw_sim_lg_5?refRID=1QX7FGQXJR4EYKB8REXC But once it was time to flower, how would I go about changing things with the light, and would that be enough for 4 plants?
They're coming along nicely. Always enjoy checking out other grows that use LEDs. Personally, still trying to beat my best with HIDs.
Thats a great light! BUT DO NOT BUY IT THERE! The thing about LED is there is only a few different manufacturers.. Im talking about in China. These manufacturers produce the units for the US companies - Like the one you linked to above, and just brand the LED unit for their brand and the US company charges 2x 3x 4x total cost. So i would recommend you to go check out http://www.gehl-led.com/ They are the manufacturer for a few of the "TOP" LED companies. I wont name any names but bottom line is IN MOST CASES you can get the same unit direct from the chinese manufacturer and save a LOT of money. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions and i can point you in the right direction, so you dont end up paying an arm and a leg for the top quality LED Tech.
UPDATE TIME! So it was hot all day here in socal... when I got home from work popped the tent open and temp was 83!!! Too hot for my taste, but I did not have all the air vents open so lesson learned. The plants themselves are doing GREAT! New growth sites on the underside of both clones- Happy to see those! and the two auroras babies are coming right along, both are speeding up their pace of growth! I rotated a couple of the plants around.. striving for at least kind of even distribution of wind and light! ! They will get watered tomorrow or maybe the next day... I TOOK MOST OF THE PICS WITH JUST THE WHITE CORN COB LED ON.. SHOWS THE PLANTS COLOR MUCH BETTER Hope everyone is staying nice and medicated.. much love! TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND-- IM THINKING CASINO!!!! :Metal:
Heat was messing with my tent today too. Had to turn on my portable AC to keep the temps in the 70's. Nothing like a SoCal winter! Is your setup outside or indoors?
I'm indoors inside the spare bedroom of a 3 bedroom apartment ... I got a couple more fans on their way in the mail , I'm going to put one up top sucking air out the hole! I need better airflow right now it's all passive . Good thing you got that portable AC! A fellow so cal grower... nice! What county are you In brother?
OC! My first tent was indoors, much larger, and with a 600 MH/HPS. After stressing over heat for 95% of the time, finally moved it outdoors and adopted LED's. I developed my own LED panels early last year, but lost half my testing gear when I moved. Since then, eBay has done me just fine.
Niceeee! What are the specs on your custom panel?? Yeah I agree eBay is perfect, the key is knowing what you are looking at! And in my case, it helped to message the China man to get what i wanted ... They have been very accommodating to my requests! I got a couple 50 watt cob chips I'm playing with at the moment... One has a lot of the deep and far reds.. I'm going to pop it on a heatsink and introduce it to the tent for flower! && I would love to have an outdoor op... I have seen some of these guys with the full blown holy grail tent setup.. Propane heaters, LED and MH hanging by strings. Bunch of girls in soil beds growing into TREES lol. 3, 4, even 5 layers of trellis and shit. ONE DAYYY maybe I'll commit and go full blown farmer on everyone's asses! Hahaha But for now ...... this 3x3 will do the job
