Im having some trouble with bubba #2, the leaves are twisting. Does anyone know what may be causing that?
After some conversation with the roommate, i decided to keep one of the Bubbas as a mother (#1). This will be the beginning of a perpetual, medicinal grow, and I might go back to the ebb & flow next time coming. The Platinum gets too out of control (saw this in the last grow), and wouldn't be practical (for space reasons) in the ebb & flow. Gonna LST some of these tomorrow. Possible scrog later?
Lookin good bro, I wanna see how thesr LEDs REALLY work. Ive heard ALOTof good things bout them n I wanna see if its true.
thanks man, this LED works great for vegging. Flowering too, but I noticed a higher yield with the HPS.
Kool Kool, any heat issues? Does the LED create any heat in ur space? Can u mix the LED wit a HPS? As in mix the light spectrums?
The LED run really cool, no heat issues at all. Yeah, I've used the LED and the HPS simultaneously, they work great together. I'll probably use them both this time around didnt even think of that until you brought it up lol ....too high
LOL it happens to ALL of us. Really lookin forward to the LEDs as supplemental lighting. U gonna get some BAD ASS buds for sure
Update: Fed the plants last night, nice growth in just 24 hrs. Preflowers are showing on most of the girls. Getting ready to LST, most likely tonight. in order: group shot, platinum, bubba, bubba, platinum, platinum
Introducing flower tonight, pics up tomorrow. Stick around, due to financial issues I have to switch from the organics to using Dutch master gold line in flowering (got the nutes for free) , hopefully the plants don't shock. Any advice?
I've grown Bubba Kush. The leaves are twisting because the optimal growing conditions cause accelerated growth. The seedlings are HAPPY. This is something you'll sometimes see in the first few leaf sets of broad-leafed indica plants. It's not a problem at all, they'll outgrow it as the later leaves get somewhat longer and narrower, though they will still be dark green and indica shaped.
So Switching light cycles tomorrow. Added some supplemental light and a co2 boost bucket for the density I want. Well see how it goes. Entire setup (notice co2 boost bucket hose hangin in middle. 5aa1b869.jpg picture by Spliffmeister42 - Photobucket One of the patinums c568e0f8.jpg picture by Spliffmeister42 - Photobucket Another platinum a223845f.jpg picture by Spliffmeister42 - Photobucket
It does look cluttered and dark in the pics but that's not the case. The room is lit up and clean. Just bad photo taking I guess.
