1200w Chinese LED 2 Vipar 300 2x4x5

Can't forget the clone.

 

Although she's a beaut, I kinda feel like I picked the wrong one to take a cutting from. Fortunately I have beaucoup Pecker beans left over, just would have preferred another one this go.

 

She's pretty petite, I can't find the tape measure at the moment but I will take a comparison photo just before lights on later. She's in a 2*2*4 and fills the width about 98% and about 1/3 of the height...pretty much looking like a mini twin to the mum

 

This is her right in front of the mother plant and some other comparison of the big girls. Believe it or not that lone Rider in the back is over a foot long cola and heavy af

 

Shit. Lone rideR didn't load

 

Just wanted to post something I have noticed after countless peek ins of the tent. I choose to mix lights this run rather than getting the QB's. The first light I got I was told it wasn't good enough to get bud with substance, which was true to an extent. My first time indoors was nothing short of a mad scientist lab, I had like 20 something plants going under this one led panel that no one could tell me wasn't kicking out 1200 watts..SMH. Well long story short, a buddy of mine was growing as well but with Viparspectras. Turned out that the few plants that survived within the small radius of my actually 220 watt light, were really dense good buds. Well buddy with the Viparspecs ended up with very sugary, very tasty fluffy bud. After review research we concluded the vipes just didn't pack enough red spectrum to harden the buds up enough. This wasn't a case of early pickings either, calyx were swollen af and you could see only pistils tips. Well arm with this knowledge I figured why not just mix the lights and get the best of both worlds, bigger dense buds right?! Well that seemed to be working out but with this conundrum...in the middle where you would think the light is mixed the most, the buds are very lite and airy feeling. But on either side with the extremes being heavy blue or heavy red..the buds and HEAVY and solid as hell! Totally confused

 

Yeah, I guess I was just expecting some kind of Captain Planet,"With our powers combined!",type effect. Apparently there is more to it than that, hahaha.

 

Snapped a back branch reaching for the accurite... lucky wasn't a main..oh well guess fate just wanted to let me get a taste early.

 

Had to chop pecker early. Man this fucken sucks. Noticed bud root on the branch I knocked off, went back in the tent and started noticing spots that were just starting to rot. My wife sabotaged me by continually messing with the thermostat...SMH. I still have the lower half going but took down all the colas in fear. I will say even though they are a week and a half to two weeks too early for me, they are the heaviest buds I ever grown. All in all I think I caught it pretty early and lost about a half oz in wet bud. This is all really disheartening for the simple fact that I felt like I was hitting on all cylinders this entire grow only to be screwed by my hard headed significant other.

 

I guess the silver lining in all this is, Bertha was uneffected and now starting her natural fade, and now the clone can get better lighting, and I am that much closer to being able to start my first legit beans from the Vault and gro some autos for the first time.

 

No, not maliciously...just being a woman who hears but doesn't listen. I tried a piece earlier and and it's not as much a loss as I was expecting. Nice body high that hits fast and lingers. Really wanted to take it to most cloudy with amber, but I guess mostly cloudy with sparce amber is ok. I know from a previous grow, the other one will take forever to Amber.
