    My first Photoperiod

    I've got a very strange set-up, CFLs make up ~140W from the wall, and I think 75W blurple LEDs which claim to be full spectrum The Blurples are about as far away as the CFLs (maybe like 5cm further away) without causing stress, which kinda proves how good they actually are :lol: at first I just...

    My first Photoperiod

    If you go through the comments there was a bit of an issue at the start, I'd never potted up before so didn't have enough perlite in the starter pot I think, which definitely stunted growth for a bit and it's vegged under 2700 k bulbs which is a terrible idea in general

    My first Photoperiod

    I took a major hit on light timing to try and rush it through a bit. When the replies to my thread were very much 4-5 more weeks I brought light intensity down, and went onto a 14/10 night/day for a week, then a 16/8 until chop, so yield could have been a bit better, but I've now got time to...

    My first Photoperiod

    Thanks man, I've chopped now, dried the cola that's gone missing over 5 days and it definitely got me where I wanted to be :mrgreen: It weighed in at about 320g wet (Even with the missing cola after wet trimming, I'll make some truffles after infusing condensed milk with the Trim :lol:). So I'm...

    My first Photoperiod

    Slightly Early :lol: But i've pulled back on the nutes a little this week as well as increased the night for about 7 days now. As well as reduced light intensity (it was getting a little hot) by pulling the light board up. Did take a top bud for a sample last week. Which is just being smoked...

    My first Photoperiod

    will do, fuck. I knew I was cutting it fine when we booked, but I really didn't factor in such a long flower, breeder says 9 max. I thought maybe 10 - 11. 12 at a push. Autos really go through an awful lot quicker :lol: :oops:

    My first Photoperiod

    So are you really thinking it's at least another 5 weeks off? I leave on the 27th of March. I might have to just bite the bullet on that last week unfortunately I was leaning towards this. It's gonna be a hard sell to get her indoors to leave the lights running over a completely dried-out...

    My first Photoperiod

    Is this not a bit high risk? I'll be gone for just over 2 weeks, I figure I could load it up with water before I go, but that might only buy a week if I really overwater? Not sure what the missus would say about leaving the lights running whilst we're away either

    My first Photoperiod

    Ah that's really not good news, I figured it might be possible to harvest it and then go away for 2 weeks. But at a certain point there'll be nothing I can do because no chance I'm letting anyone know it's here. Not in my country,,, ETA: I've read that shortening the light schedule and...

    My first Photoperiod

    Vegged about 6 weeks, but there was certainly a ropey couple of weeks at first, I didn't take any pictures but when she was 2 weeks old I was fairly certain I'd killed her, just transplanted and thought I'd see what would happen. She was also vegged under 2700K CFLs, which certainly doesn't...

    My first Photoperiod

    Grown from seed, seedsman, Critical Purple Kush. Mostly indica. Planted 16th November 2021. Few teething issues at first, struggled with transplanting and knowing when to transplant, I also nearly drowned her because there wasn't enough perlite in her starter pot :wall: lesson learned :blsmoke...

    Day 19 already fading

    She's hungry, just checked the nutes you're using to fix the def. Decent nutes for flowering, but this early in flower they're still producing new green growth (stems for those colas to live on, and sugar leaves to feed em) , which requires Nitrogen A good balanced grow nute would be perfect...

    Slow flowering? First Photo Grow

    Well this fills me with hope :bigjoint: Did a few auto grows last year and was always really happy with the end product Already seeing some trichs developing on the sugar leaves so hoping I'm growing some power smoke to enjoy over summer

    Slow flowering? First Photo Grow

    Okay cool, thankyou for putting my mind at rest :lol: Based on this one grow, photo's seem to take longer to go through each stage than auto's, but the 6 week veg time and 2 week stretch has given me so much more time to LST and get a nice canopy going, not sure I'll ever go back to autos ever...

    Slow flowering? First Photo Grow

    I've only ever done Autos before, so not very familiar with the different cycles, never had to flip my girls in the past so hoping I'm overthinking a little I'm growing Critical Purple Kush from seedsman (hybrid, "mostly indica") , in her veg period everything was flying, December 26th she was...

    Will 1 25 Watt LED be enough?

    Oh really? I'll certainly bow to experience but my research said 3-4 weeks was pretty normal for Autos But I have only got 2 grows with the exact same strain of Dwarf plant under my belt so I really don't know what I'm talking about at all :lol: :blsmoke:

    Will 1 25 Watt LED be enough?

    Yeah man I'm definitely looking forward to a photo grow. Can get a nice flat canopy with LST but always wishing they had a few more weeks to grow :blsmoke:

    Will 1 25 Watt LED be enough?

    Sorry I think you've misunderstood, when you're growing autos you only get 3 weeks of Veg before they go to flower automatically. You have to be really quick with your LST

    Will 1 25 Watt LED be enough?

    Me too :), it's 55x55cm box :lol: Yeah I quite enjoy doing LST. My thoughts are start a Photo in a smaller 2 Litre Pot, then Pot it up to the big 10 Litre after 3 weeks (when the Current Auto Finishes) to do the LST and get it shaped how I want. Quite looking forward to not only having 3 weeks...

    Will 1 25 Watt LED be enough?

    I've converted to inches because most people here are from the USA :lol: 21" x 21" Square 55" Tall (small cabinet) But the Light board currently hanging at 27" high (Dwarf Auto that's been LST'd very well) Do Photos need more light than Autos? Been relatively happy with my Auto results but...
