I meant to ask about that as I have not used this LED strip lights before....how close would you typically have the LED to the plants?

The manufacturer suggested 12 inches, so that's where I've had it.

I keep the CFL bulbs about 2 inches away, just thought that would be too close for the LED strip.

BTW: I do have a tin foil "makeshift" hood but I remove it for the pictures so I don't have to hear people tell me how bad tin foils is :)
I don't know how costs are for you, but this would kill when you do smaller grows for little cost IMO. I have 2 135 watters and they are super good quality.

Dr. Krippling Krippleberry auto is going slow ( 4 year old seed ) as you can see . All of my other germed cups ( popped around the 10th ) have now matched this god damn plant ( popped dec. 27th !!!! ) even those 2 coco hempy cups I had are now in final containers !

Question : Should just keep her going or set fire to it ?

Maybe slow, but it still looks really good. Theae are fun solo cups, so hardly looking for the extra space. I'd let her keep on keeping on.

Tortoise and the hare.. I’d keep for certain. Nice healthy new growth is what matters :)

Week 5 today and doing no bad. Been having some issues with a few of my plants recently. All calcium defs from what I suspect is too much P. I tried adding high P bat guano to my mix for the first time and I’m getting mixed results. Seems like all the P is now available when I was beginning to add my bloom feed and that is antagonising Calcium.

Ach well, lesson learned! Maybe I’ll just top dress it in mid/late flower from now on or make teas with it.

She’s looking a bit sorry for herself :(

Good luck all!

Yeah the moment any stress happens they are first to go. This one and another plant I have are showing really bad cal deficiencies. Yet there’s another one which has perfect leaves.

I tend to forget that every strain has different hardiness/resistance and even phenotype can reveal certain quirks.

I love the look of a healthy leaves, like this orange biscuits from Mephisto. Really fool proof strain so far

Thanks Nutty! I've been mixing up 1 gal of nutrient mix at a time, for her and a few little clones. I mix in 1 gram of Jack's A, .5 g epsom, and 1 gram calnit, starting water is about 140 ppm. I'll probably start to change it up a bit once flowers really start forming. I think the EC of that mix is right around 1, maybe a bit less. I've been feeding twice per day but need to start getting a 3rd feed in the middle of light's on time, she's drying out super quick.
I'm not to the end of the thread yet but can't help commenting. I'm not participating in this challenge but want to do one in the future. I'm using a similar nutrient (Masterblend) and love how easy (and inexpensive) it is to get really nice plants with these dry salt based nutrients.

Grow on :) :bigjoint:
