Day 23 from seed for the Afghan Kush Ryders




Trainwreck day 23




Led tent. Day 23 for Cream Mandarin




Fast bud#2




Veg tent. 2 lemon skunk plants from 6 in so far.



Afghan kush in drobe. Doing really shit, but it's alive. Topped her and removed top 4 fan leaves. This is all or nothing. Grow or die. Not going to waste time on this. I'd rather start another if she stalls anymore.



Temps 24oc and rh 60%, wtf, I just don't get it why it doesn't want to grow.

Afghan kush ryder day 28




Trainwreck day 28




Led tent cream mandarin day 28. Took out 2 cobs for another tent and replaced it with gn telos 6. So hps now have 750w and led has 760w.






Fast bud 2 day 28. Still doing a bit shit in here, but I'll still get some bud. Had to stop using my drobe as the neighbour below can here it, so have added the afghan kush to this tent.

Veg tent

3 lemon skunk from dna in little pots

3 cream mandarin in air pots




Got all my plants on the same feed now. 1ml magnecal+ with floranova bloom. Makes the nutes 5.9 after mixing with tap water.

Afghan Kush day 31 from seed





Trainwreck auto day 31





The Cream Mandarin are no longer in the led tent. I have moved them yesterday under a 750w Gavita.





The 760w led tent is currently empty.

 

[Fevs.]

I moved the fast bud 2 four plants into a smaller area and set the up with four 100w led bars. They were praying today when I looked

I'm going to feed these every 3 days instead of everyday.



Good led coverage going on in here. 45 degree lenses. Only 1.7 umol these leds, so pretty shit in terms of stats. Stats ain't everything though. These panels have character and a big heart. They don't make them like these anymore!

1ft from the tops. Nicely all 4 plants are the same height with 2-3''. Almost like they are made for this set up. I really want to do well with these. They've been a right battle! Small stunted plants. But I have a canopy...




And after a little shake lol

Hope so.

Just planted 6 autoflowers. 60 day wonder from dna genetics. Williams wonder. 1st strain I ever grew.

Fed all my plants 200ppm tds of silicon ph'd to 5.8.

Going to dig through my collection of seeds today and see what I've got in there. In a month I'm going to have loads of room, so want to get something ready.

Day 34 from seed for Afghan Kush ryder

It's quite warm outside today, so I think she has drooped a bit. I'm putting bug nets over my intake fans and attaching them to the windows. Fed the plants just cal mag last night, then a gallon each of floranova bloom today.




Trainwreck. I forgot to take a pic, so next time ey...

Cream Mandarin day 34 also. These are making me smile when I open the tent




Fast bud#2, 3ft tent, 400w led, day 34




Got about 300w running in my veg tent to get the photoperiod plants up and running.

Cream Mandarin



They need feeding.

Anyway, 3 gallon pots have 3 dna lemon skunk seedlings in. No rush, so they can root that out in their own time. Not even using root nutes on them.



Veg tent, germ'm some seeds next to the Afghan Kush ryder. Doing ok now, but she's staying in here out the way. She's small. I hate giving up on plants. Even if I get half ounce from here I'll enjoy it all the same.



Running out of floranova bloom, so switching to gh micro and bloom with some cal mag in a few feeds. When all that is gone too, I'm going to put my efforts in to getting dialled in with Canna coco a & b. I have invested in new air pots this week too. I'm putting the hempys away for a bit after this grow.

I fancy growing a few bigger plants in tents, but just one plant in each. The vegging plants have a good few weeks to grow. When they start picking up and getting bigger I'll switch more leds on. Don't want to waste light now though.

 

[Fevs.]

Ok. Seems I was underwatering a bit and that is the cause of it going a bit droopy. Glad I have worked it out now though. I will feed them more often. They got a cal mag feed after midnight to help them stop drying out. Going to put all the Gavitas right up the top now whilst the auto's finish their stretch.

Afghan Kush ryder day 37 from seed. I have already raised the light in here today.





Remembered to take pics this time of the Sweet Seeds Trainwreck auto on day 37 from seed





Sweet Seeds Cream Mandarin day 37 from seed





Got an 18 litre pot and a 7.5ml spoon.

They get 1 spoon of plant magic cal mag,2 spoons of micro, 3 spoons of bloom. That is ec1 and tds 500-600ppm. Going to keep them on that feed now until that runs out.

 

[Fevs.]

Sweet Seeds Fast bud#2. Very pleased with how these have taken to being moved under led in a small tent. They have nute burn, cal mag issues, but they are going to produce. This strain is crazy in flowering. They're leaf praying now, that's all I can do. They should finish very strong!





Been ignoring the veg tent, but now I'm going to feed them daily

Super interested to see how all these perform. I'm in the market for some more LED's.

One question.. are you.. on the grid.. cause that's a lot of juice for a flat.

Yeah but that sort of pull brings attention surely?

I just don't give a fuck what they think tbh. If you're worried, join N-power. They haven't stitched me up and I've been rolling heavy for over 5 years here lmao

I used to worry about all that bollocks, getting busted or stitched by the electric company etc. I just couldn't give a fuck now. Worrying about shit like that just isn't healthy. I just get high and put it right to the back of my mind where I never think about it. I've had a good run. They can't take the holidays back

 

[HighFlow]

Do you think the San-lights are the best top end LED there is? They aren't cheap, coming in almost 2:1 price to wattage, which is double what I've paid for mine but if they perform, then I'm all about keeping power usage down. It looks like the driver is hidden in the top there inbetween the heatsink, or does it sit remotely?

The driver is hidden in there somewhere. I like the sanlights. They grew better quality weed than the gn telos panels last grow. I have no idea about top end leds. I don't really recommend any tbh. There are so many good ones and I don't read up about it at all. I just picked the sanlights as I rate osram leds. Have always used osram leds and had good results. I have four 120w sanlights, so can use them next to 750w de if I want. Next grow I'm using led and hps together.

 

[HighFlow]

Oh, I was classing the Sanlights as top end.. at least that's what their price tag suggests. £500+ a pop for the Q6W. 245W putting out 620 ppf is pretty damn good though and at 2.7 micromoles... I don't think there's anything better on the market specs wise. Gavitas are 2.6 and people reckon they're the best there is. I'm going to do it. I've just done cutting today, and they'll be flowered under some Sanlights.

 

[HighFlow]

Oh, I'm curious, Are you just running these autos because it's first time round in a while, or is this something you do. Personally I hate seeds so once I'm up and running, I just cut. I've got a load of seeds that I'm trying to find a space to put into rotation but the plant I have is such a good runner!
