been hittin em w/ sum micro nutes, mkp and some extreme blend. it's causing em to bust out even more hairs
flushed for the past few days and chopped off the tops. the really large ones were getting bud rot from the density. i lost out on some nice buds.
so 3.9 oz dried from the tops. chopped the rest of em here. will weigh the dried stuff after trim. should get at least 8oz dried frso 3.9 oz dried from the tops.
alright finished trimming what i thought is worth trimming. the rest is gonna be turned into hash. total dry weight from this grow is 12.9 oz. i think it could have been better but oh wells. i'll live with the results. some of the nugs were really really big. some things i learned from this grow is.. not gonna grow this strain again. it's a indica and the bunched leaf grow really sucked as some of the small fan leaves between the tight budsites died. as a result, the really big dense buds rotted. i know i lost a lot of weight because of this. i foliar fed bloom nutes all the way up to week 4 which i believe helped with this grow. the idea came from sp1 at RIU http://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/296685-lost-art-foliar-feeding.html there are people for it and against it. i like to try things for myself and see the results before saying it does or doesn't work. air flow is necessary to avoid PM. foliar feeding made a lot of sense as imo it's similar to hydro where you can feed it frequently. in soil you must wait a few days between feedings through the medium. i fed 2 medium feedings through the soil weekly with a watering between. the foliar was fed daily. if i were to do this again, 1)i would have went with coco as the medium instead of soil as it dries faster. 2) used more blue leds for quicker veg. 3) went with a different strain here is the bud porn. thanks for all those who followed along. it has been a ride for me with these leds.
very nice man.. glad ypu pulled a few ounces... hit me up.. long time no see... also i wanna build one of those lights... Sent from my SCH-I500 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
<sup>nice set up ma dude.. what size is your grow space? lxwxh.</sup> <sup>I have a cab im going to use for a grow. its 40lx18Wx27H.</sup> <sup>im planning on building a light with 10 watt led chips.</sup> <sup>based on your build how many plants do you think I can fit in there? do you think 20-25 10 watt chips with the right spectrum would be enough?</sup>
Van it was approximately 6x9x8. what LEDs will you be working with? Will you be using optics? What height will you be flowering? There are different factors that affect yield imo.
@Kill I really want to build one of these. well like 4... I want to fill a room 120"x60"x78". Can you estimate how many lamps and if you would do anything different? Thanks for the sick post.
Thanks so much for the share just what I was looking for! I'm thinking of getting a white wing w/ 300w mixed spectrum cfl and adding one or two of these to the picture. So there selling this in a package now? I was linked to the thread from there page. Thanks again.
I made an account just to say that this grow really inspired me and I appreciate you taking the time to document how you built your fixture. I'm a complete noob to LEDs like you were when you first started, so is going to help me out a lot. Attempting to build it following your directions very soon!
what do you mean lamps? how many fixtures? you may want to do separate fixtures. sweet i believe so. they asked how my grow went and i linked them to this thread. awesome. led is a great way to grow. it doesn't get crazy hot
This LED work is beautiful, I'm new to posting but the work seems solidly done! Keep doing what you're doing bro!
