Day 10 Flower: I took a cutting two nights ago and had been keeping it in a warm lit box with super high humidity (80%) for 24hrs. I then popped it into the tent with the mom. I plan to simply grow this plant until it's ready to harvest 12-12. No nutes at the moment, just pH balanced water...

Definitely over water on the droopy ones.

Day 9 of flower: I defol'd after one week into flower. She has recovered very nicely I'd say. As you can see, starting to reeeeeally stretch! I have kept the lights at 10-12" away, but there have been times that she has creeped up to 8" before I could adjust her. Hydro grows too fast!!! :lol:

Flip to flower January 10, 2020 I decided to do an early flower, partially because I'm about as patient as a kick in the face, and second I want to take a clone from her and like to get them in the first week. The plant seems to love the light. It is a combination of 4 x 2700K bulbs and 3 x...

After getting her into a tent and the larger lights on to her she seemed to bounce right back. I have tried to keep pH between 5.5 and 6. Relative humidity is kept at 55-60% during vegetative stages. I usually have to have a humidifier going on a timer during the light period to keep this RH...

I ended up finding some more Dollar Store store gems! Actual 9w screw in blurples... For $3! I tore them apart to find 6 red and two white diodes. I put 5 into a splitter and was getting 800umols at 12"! Unfortunately, the love was short lived. The minute they got overheated their output...

Eventually she started to look just tired... I couldn't figure out what was wrong... I decided a change in environment and some proper circulation might help a lot. In to the 3x3 she goes. As you can see I FIMed quite early in hopes for a bush.

Hello, fellow RIUers, I've been meaning to get a journal going over the last few weeks but just never managed to find the time. Now I have a little more. :bigjoint: I have a 3x3 tent using DWC, with dollar store LEDs(what's!?! o_O), and girls in 3 and 5 gallon buckets. Full details on setup...

Back with another update: 1. I had a rogue LED on during dark time (from the circulation fan) which I think may have been affecting her ability to flower. I removed this fan and two days later she has white hairs everywhere! At least the last six weeks weren't a waste! 2. She seems to be...

Hey all! Just wanted to throw up another update here. I am still rocking the 7-way splitter with the LEDs. I migrated to a small tent, and have since installed a proper exhaust fan and carbon filtration. Plant seems to be loving this light!

Update: I took out the blurples and put all of the 16w bulbs back in. So I have a total of 112w real, made up of 4 x 3000K and 3 x 2700K bulbs, putting out ~72000 lux in a 1.5' square. I know it's not exact, but using some rough number math this should be around 1000umol. Good enough for one...

Another update: I finally got exhaust system and carbon filter installed in the tent, no more stinks! She is now a few days into flower and starting to stretch. I say she because I'm fairly confident at this point, but just waiting for final confirmation. As you can I see I swapped a few of...

Are there cheaper alternatives that use that as board and driver? I always thought HLG was fairly well priced.

Thanks dude! Yes, I realized after I had her in there that it was much too high. I actually ended up reseating it lower from that pic, the top of the rooter is probably two inches below the top of the Hydroton now. Back to the lights... In looking at the 135s... I see there is an R Spec...

While you guys piss at each other... Update: So, I checked my timers and somehow my light timer was accidentally switched on for 2hrs near the end of her night cycle. So, technically she has not been in flower, so she is going to be much bigger than I anticipated. I have changed the timers...

Good point. Will they let me just add another board?

Thanks for all the info fellas. After doing a few days of research I think I've decided on the HLG. Specifically the QB288 Board with 288pcs Samsung 561Cs. Just going to get a single 135w and then a second one for my next grow. These look to be producing some fantastic results and output...

Very interesting! I had been looking at their V2 stuff last month, but did not see these guys. I'll investigate further. Cheers!

Another Update: She (hopefully) is three days into flower but still no sure signs. So far though, it "looks" female to me. Fingers crossed. After the FIM and the training shown from below in the first pic. The other pics are pre and post a small defoliation. Now, I just let her do her...

Update: The 2700K/3000K combo has been doing great. I am flipping to flower tomorrow, and I'm fairly content with the growth and bushiness of the plant, lots of main sites and I have trained to where I'm happy. We will see how much she stretches now!
