Hey everyone!
As I mentioned in my intro (here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/insert-witty-title-here.909663/#post-12620394 ) I've recently gotten into the whole LED growing, which I have found to be quite easy, using less power, and producing less heat.
I did a comparison on another forum, and there was a really great response, with a lot of folks happy to see an LED comparison (I still get PMs about it to this day), so I figured since I saw rollitup in a lot of my various interweb searches, that I'd hop over here as well and share the grow with you cool folks as well. (Plus the Cannabis community is seriously just filled with amazing people, and I like to help where I can)
I'm by no means a professional grower. I started out 3 years ago growing under CFLs, and slowly worked my way up to the world of LEDs.
So onto our grow:
We'll be growing in a divided Gorilla 2'x4' tent. Giving each plant a 2'x2' area to grow in. We'll have identical airflow, temps, RH, watering schedule, and nutes for both plants.
Ventilation and filtration will be handled with a Ventech 6" fan and filter.
We're growing in 7gal pots, each filled with 6gal medium.
Medium is my own blend of 4gal of basic bottom shelf soil, 1gal of perlite, and 1gal coco coir. (This will be the 5th grow on this medium)
Nutrients will be Humboldt County's Own, And we'll be using the full line of nutrients, with the exception of Purple Maxx, which won't be needed, as this strain isn't a specific purple.
The original plan was to use Jeraldean from Northwest Exclusive Genetics, but due to the family issues, I unfortunately had to abandon that grow, but we'll be growing Hammer of the Gods, also from Northwest.
And of course, I'll be comparing the PlatinumLED P450 against the PlatinumLED P300.
I always put the "challenger" on the left side of the tent, so we'll have the P450 on the left, with the P300 on the right.
I popped a handful of beans, and ended up with 2 females, one was shorter pheno, the other was a larger pheno. I took 4 clones from each, and we ended up with stronger growth from the taller pheno, so we'll be working with 2 clones from that mother. We revegged our flowering clones, our pistil growth has stopped, and we had a nice boost of veg growth the past 2 days.
The 2 strongest clones have a slight difference in height, On the P450 side we're looking at 5.25", and on the P300 side we're looking at 6.75". We're going to manipulate the heights of both clones by adjusting our lights accordingly, once both clones are at the same height, we'll continue with both lights at the same height.
I am currently charging up my camera for action, so when that's all set, I'll have pictures up today or tomorrow.
Have a good one fam.
