Week 5 of 12/12 4th week of flowering tell me what you think. I will be updating weekly.

Nice subbed

I have been on a nute schedule of 10ml/gallon/day. It has been getting 10ml for the past week. I have been using Tiger Bloom and I think I am going to switch to Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom Fruit and Flower Formula for Coco and Soil. It has a little less N than the Tiger Bloom. I think everyone can agree that it is green enough. I say I have about 4-5 weeks left. Lets see what happens.

Week 6 of 12/12 5th week of flowering:

I have been feeding them 15ml of Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom Fruit and Flower Formula for Coco and Soil daily and they have been loving it. I am going to up the dosage to 20ml tomorrow.


The 4th pic is the first pic of the lower branches. I have been using 11w LED spotlights and they seem to be doing a great job. Let me know what you guys/gals think.

loooking very very nice i would love to smoke them girls that is fo sho

Can I ask a question?

If you have an auto there, then why is your light schedule 12/12?

I was thinking the same thing... Why not 16/8 or 18/6 ATLEAST

I was thinking more than that.

With auto's, you wanna be in the 24/0 or 20/4 range.

That is why I have the word auto in quotes- "Auto". I originally had the lights set for 24/0 for 30 days. I then knocked it down to 20/4 for 15 days. When that didn't work I went with a 18/6 for another 35 days.
The reason I had to veg for 80 days is because I went on vacation for 10 days this December. I choose to keep them in veg and setup an 18 gallon automated drip system to feed, my then, 2 plants. I didn't want to have the plants flowering because I can control the height of the plant better in veg than in flowering. I had to kill another plant, that didn't auto flower either, and I posted a link to its thread on the first post of this thread. Check it out it's good reading.

Gotcha

Sorry, I wasn't trying to come off as a snobbish know-it-all.

No prob bra. I'll answer any question anyone has got. I'm a know-it-all too.

good job bro i really want to do led grow but they are so dam expensive..im thinking of getting one for supplemental light but i gotta wait til they get cheaper til i go full on led

LEDS pay for themselves in the first run with how much u say in watt consumption

i think you do save a lot of money but even the small ones are hella expensive i got a whole hps thousand watt setup from my boy for 200 bucks ballast,bulb,and ballast..but its a hund a month for elect...dam i cant wait til the led's go down in price....they will, ppl never thought flat screen tv's would be cheap but now they are

Plus you don't have to buy bulbs or worry about heat. And I have a 3 year warranty on the unit. You just can't beat it.

I was extremely close to goin LED before I bought a new 400w HPS.

I was gonna get the PPF-800 from Haight Solid State.

That's a nice looking light. 6w LED's are going to be the future. I am looking into a 240w Lighthouse Blackstar. I want to use the 240w Blackstar for flowering and my current 126w hydrogrow led as a veg light. All in due time

Agreed that LED are the way forward...

Ive just bought a 90w Lighthouse LED, and Im blown away with it!

Ive gone down to one small PC extraction fan (instead of 1 massive desk fan and 2 PC exhaust fans) because of massive heat difference. Which also means my CO2 does a better job . Ive also cut my power from 500watts per hour total to 130 watts per hour total

First power bill has come through and I thought they'd sent me the wrong one! I almost sat down and calculated how much power ive wasted in the past 3 years - but then got to scared to see just how much electric ive wasted!

As for performance... My stems aren't as big, and i've got a little more stretching on the go... so its def not as good as the 400watt HPS. But since im using about a 3rd less power, im def getting more than a 3rd of my usual results


Can't wait to see how your grow goes Maddman... and good work for making the world even greener

Thanks for stopping by Chilly. I too have stopped using a fan to blow directly on my plants but I did it for another reason. I am in an attic and it is cold and needs to be heated. If I had a fan blowing air all over my heater would be on more and that's no bueno. To slow down my stretch I super-cropped one week into flowering. It seems to have increased the stem size, slowed the stretching, and helped even out the canopy. I am still lst'ing and leaf folding so that I can get maximum penetration to bud sites.

hey man what is super cropping and leaf folding?? probly a stupid question but thanks
