Been gone a while, but decided to take the plunge and move to LED's. Got a small tent, 4x4x5.5 I think. Gonna do the Mars II 900 on two plants, I ordered from bonza seeds the 2 nirvana bubblicious didn't crack, so I had to crack two others. I think they are going to replace them but we will see. I'm running as always 3 part, grow, micro, and bloom. PH 5.9 PPM 320.
They have fast shipping and have addressed the problem of the bad beans. Right on, I like a company who stands behind what they sell. You can see the two bad beans that didn't crack. Oh well it's happens sometimes These are under 2 120w panels now, when they get a little stronger I'll put the Mars II in there. Stay tuned and lets see what they do. HD
Not much going on, got the third set of leaves, roots have made it to the water now on one, tomorrow the other should. I have moved the big Mars II on em' now, figured they were strong enough and they have liked it. Post a pic later of the growth. PH rising a bit each day. May the great white or just bubbling water.
Subbed Looking forward to the results on this brotha. I've been tossing around the idea of LED's lately.. I like the tote setup, started one myself this year.. I'm just sick of all the separate buckets.. So far so good.. The only issue was finding a tote that allowed enough space between the netpots..
Tote shouldn't be a problem, I've got a small tent. So how about some root porn, the brown stuff in the bottom of the res in the myco bacteria. Starting to get good growth now that the roots hit the water.
Moving to 12\12 tonight. Water change, transition to bloom mix, been raising the damn light still cant get a little stretch to tie over. These light are kicking ass in Veg, we will see how it yields. Hoping for .8gpw in under 90 days from seed. We will see. I cut off a bunch of big suckers trying to get some stretch from the inner limbs, they are as big as my finger now, main stalk. So what everyone wants to see: Porn
7 days of 12\12. PPM's I moved to 600, ph 5.9. They are drinking about 1\2 to 3\4 a gallon per day. Not much stretch hoping for a little more to try and fill the whole tent at the same height. So far the Mars II 900 is working great, lets see on flowering. The 900 is supposed to be equal to a 600w HPS, on 2 plants I would pull 12 to 14 jars on HPS, we will see on the LED when all is said and done. The heat is a shit load less than the HPS, no noise, perfect so far.
Pulling up a chair my old friend.. looking good so far, be nice to get a honest opinion on those led things..lol
I'll keep a documented journal all the way and the opinion will be honest if they suck I'll say so. I'll snap shots all along the way. That is a bigbud on the left and a BF's Liberty Haze on the right. I love the LH, and BF's in one of my favorite breeders.
Growth report: As you can see there will be many tops. The one on the left has a diamond with 2 white hairs coming out. The other has something, hope it's ain't a set of balls. Upped the RO water to 620 PPM, 5.9 PH, and as they drink the PPM's stay the same. But I only add back PH adjusted RO water. When I add 1\2 of the total I change the water. I seem to get good penetration through the canopy. There are very few limbs at the bottom that look light starved.
They are showing sex now. So far penetration is good as you can see by the small bud everywhere. PPM 600, PH 5.9. Drinking like pigs, think this next water change will go to 700 PPM's.
They are looking very nice. How many days into flower are your girls? I just switched mine over this morning to flower.
