3x3 LED Sour Diesel Blue Dream Super Lemon Haze

[Mean Gene]

Tucked branches today. I may move some plants around since they are growing at different rates just to help keep the screen even. I also plan to add a 2nd 200w led making for 64w/sqft. Just waiting to flip still. Im trying to remain patient but its hard i want to see what these girls can do.

 

[Mean Gene]

Added 2nd light. 400watts of led now. Took clones today from each plant did some more topping and tucking where i could. I anticipate flipping to 12/12 by the end of this coming week. One of my sour diesel starting to show some cal mag deficiency so ill up the nutes again when i feed next.

Took these shots when i opened the tent before doing anything.

I'm excited to see how it comes out!

 

[Mean Gene]

Well i was trying to wait until closer to the weekend but im afraid of overcrowding and uneven canopy since i havent grown these together before so im just guessing as to how much stretch to anticipate. I think im gonna flip to 12 either later today or tomorrow.

 

[Mean Gene]

I lied. Still waiting to flip. They were thirsty when i opened the tent shouldve watered last night. Im watering every 3 days like clockwork.

Took a few more clones today and cleaned up underneath the net. Flipping this weekend for sure. I slid them around some to make room for the sour diesel in the back left. Im expecting it to go crazy.

Also managed to snap a branch by rushing my supercropping. Taped it back up should be fine. I love these plants. You can do just about anything to them and they keep on coming.

I ordered some cree 730nm and a driver from rapidled. Chose 2 day shipping so by monday i will have them in for sure. Holding off flowering until i get that in there. If anyone wants more info about this go to the indoor growing/led section and look "far red thread"

Just 24hrs after those last pics. Amazing what a little water does. The plants were happy when i checked on them so i spread out some more branches tucked where i could then took a picture. I just love growing these plants they really are amazing to watch. Man i got some gelato and im way too high.

Thanks for keeping up! Yeah the super lemon haze is a very stretchy pheno. I have a pic from the start of the grow where i topped all of them except it cause i was still waiting on nodes to develop but it was already so tall. Its the stretchiest plant ive grown yet. I have had mostly indicas before.

As far as my led set up its just 2 seperate 200W area 51 leds. Uses cree 3 watt lights. If youre looking to go led now i would recommend going the cxb 3590 route. In another 4-6 months they should be more widely available premade if you arent the diy type. You can still get great results from the cxb 3050 as well and they cost a fair amount less.

Hah found it. See all the others have been topped and are growing great and the slh is barely on its third node at that height. This was march 18th.

You're right I was completely cfl when you first crossed my stuff I've since invested in 2 600w setups one a/c and the other as I've done more research (and also was decently cheaper) one of the wing ones non a/c. Oh and thank you for the compliment! I got the lights after that first auto finished now the five are under the 2 600's

Damn just read some of that far red thread! It's a tad beyond my range of understanding I get the ideas they're throwing up but damn its long, gotta read some more when I have more time lol.

Yeah im just waiting on the parts to arrive. Should be end of today hopefully. As soon as i put it together and drop it in im going to flip so its killing me everyday waiting lol

Just think about it this way every day they don't flip the better and more you'll get from them ladies at the end So I haven't just yet look up that cxb 3590 so is that what your waiting on? And your gonna make it yourself? If I had the time and tools hell I'd learn and figure out that stuff myself but I'll definitely when I do go LED I'll probably go with one pre built for now lol

 

[Caanan18]

Just read some more of that far red thread.... I am man enough to admit that I'm at page 5 and they have completely lost me. They definitely have some solid knowledge of not only the intricacies of the light spectrum but how to plan design and build circuit work and the like, I've never studied/read anything about that stuff I can only read what they've written and surmise what they're gettin at lmao. (Long story short... someone needs to dumb that shit down for me lmao!) (least a lil)

 

[Frida & Vincent]

Your grow is looking awesome! Can't wait to see the rest of your progress.

Theyre growing every day for sure. The lights i ordered are the cree far reds. I only ordered 3 and a driver with 2 day shipping came out to about $48. The red bulbs are 730nm and thats what triggers the plant to sleep. Basically when you flip to 12 without thise lights it takes about 2 hours for the plant to switch to sleep mode. With 5 minutes of that 730nm spectrum after lights out that triggers the plant to sleep faster. So you can adjust your light schedule mid flower and get more growing time in as well as finish flowering earlier.

Here is the link to the lights i purchased.

What a day. Disaster in the tent. My lights arrive tomorrow and while i was cleaning up underneath today i split the main stalk of the sour diesel in half. Ive done this before to branches and it pisses me off. Anyway got her surgically repaired.
So the rest of the grow is going great as long as i stop trying to kill my plants. Took a top shot today and an underneath shot while i was cleaning it up. Planning to flip tomorrow after my lights come in but i may wait now to let the sour diesel fix itself a few days. I dont want to split a stalk in half then flip it 24 hrs later. Bad idea

Finally the bubble cloner i bought wasnt getting it done. Only the clone with the air stone below it has shown progress. Its day 9 now the rest hadnt shown anything so i changed my air stone set up. The bubbles help.

LOL! Can't wait to see your lights. Also noticed that driver doesn't have a power supply cord do you plan on just wiring it yourself?

Yeah i just went to lowes and picked up a 15amp utility plug ill wire on. I confirmed in a diy led thread here that since the driver i ordered was ac input not dc therefor it could be wired directly.
Ill put some pics up of my process and finished light. Going to be very basic.
