Dinafem Sweet Deep Grapefruit 300w LED + ghetto

Glad i could help bro

Wait so what brand light is that 300 watt led? Looks like its working so far

its "top led grow light factory direct sell" bought on ebay .. made in china but still legit compared to some model and cheap, good for starting/learning how to grow and/or for broke people. i hope they work good, cuz i havent seen any cannabis grow log or review bout them

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2013-New-300W-LED-Grow-Light-9Band-IR-Flowering-Hydroponic-LED-Grow-Lamp-Panel-/390567591853?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item5aefa47fad

so far im happy with it, gonna see how it is in late veg and flowering

but yeah if u can offer a real brand id still totally go into the real brand i just couldnt do that at the moment

Well Medichronic is in this LED subsection hes actually running some VIPAR 400 watt LEDs from ebay and they look pretty legit so far. I was actually thinking about buying some vipar but didnt see anyone use them until yesterday when i saw his thread. Its worth a look tho bro.

Hey pthang those little gals shouldnt need and dont really want any nutrients yet. Seedlings are really nute sensitive until they are a little more developed. I start with 1/4 strength nutes at week 3 from sprout.
Ive got 3 sweet deeps in hydro vegging under a blackstar 240 at 3 weeks. Got a freebie a couple years ago and its to this day my wifes favorite smoke. Hoping to get the same pheno it tasted like a grapefruit thatd been impregnated by a rasberry. Soooooo good. In my top 3 all time smokes. Good luck buddy its worth the effort

same only heard good about it and now i can feel it how good they are.. i thought at this point my girls would just keep yellowing to finally get orange burns and stop growing till it die.. day 14 right now im so happy from what i see in my closet lol theyre real leaves with the final bottom ones are growing so fast.. all 3 feel like revived, ive already transplanted them bout 4 days ago and i think i might have a root problem so only tips i can give u is go easy on them and dont water the seedlings till it shows they need water
unless you know how to

Damn thows are pretty healthy did you ever mention what type of soil your growing in?

CIL plus potting soil from a canadian tire store
says it is optimally formulated with mycoactive (description under) to help grow stronger root and more vigorous plants,
this all purpose potting mix contains

canadian sphagnum peat moss
-increases root areation - improves water retention

rich black humus
-helps maintain good soil balance

volcanic aggregates (perlite or pumice)
- provides lightweight aeration - retains water and nutrients

MYCOACTIVE MYCORRHIZAE
-enhances growth by increasing the root absorption area. increased water and nutrient uptake encourages healthier and more vigorously growing plants with greater stress
resistance than plants that are not colonized with mycorrhizae

its about it i was mainly looking for some kind of promix couldnt find so i got away with this

did a good choice tho cuz i still got away with 1 miracle grow bag and i was about to use em instead of those CIL and few days ago i read that miracle grows might not be good

Miracle grow is junk as far a mj growing. Too inconsistent.
Mycoharizea ( spelling ) is the shit. I use great white myco religously after doing side by side with and without on multiple seedlings. The roots dig it. Bigger roots. Bigger plants. Bigger buds.

they might look healthy but they still have those white-yellowish very very pale and green veins on almost every leaf but the latest ones, also my #3 which i started flowering today is getting burns on edges of the 2nd oldest leaf set,

i keep on reading so i think this shows an iron def.. probably followed by mag or calc for the edge burns

also im wondering where the fuck i could get a damn ph meter or ph pen other than ordering online,(dont have time to wait for an order and cant really order at this block i live)
been looking on walmart's site but shit theyre all out of stock of their one and only model
all i could find was some kind of cheap ph tester one try only on which u mix a little powder with soil sample this aint accurate and isnt helping at all

tomorrow if i have time i will go ahead and buy a bottle of cal-mag for sure even if i dont need to use it on em, will also look at spas and pool stores for them ph tester/pen


so far i can tell few problems i had...
- humidity problem (winter is so dry here i get about 15-17% humidity w/o an humidifer and average 40-45% with humidifer, still managed to reach 50-70% but late)
- using that urine mix once for nitrogen, iunno tf it did, never really had N toxicity as i stated on other pages
- rooting problems (when i transplanted them, the bottom wasnt filled with roots i could've seen some but not as it should've been,probably due to overwatering the seedlings, all 3 lost some part of the bottom or side earth when i transplanted)(#2 had the more roots of all 3)
- PH (no clean tap water too much chlorine i cant even drink it, wouldnt boil some because i would need to adjust the ph then and i dont have a ph pen.. so i thought i was safe using natural spring water in bottles... says 85 ppm (mg/l) and it says ph is 7.8 which i just found out this week... but that cant be it ? 7.8 my plants would have died already wouldnt they?

andddddd uselesss problem that could've been worse but i got lucky
one of my lights fell right on #2 and #1 few days ago hitting #2 made her move to the side of the pot and teared one of her newborn leaf in half, #1 is ok didnt seem to even been hit
and as of now #2 recovered well

pics coming later

Well the pH meter I got from amazon for 20$ but if you don't/can't order online next place I'd suggest would be a nursery or a hydro shop. My cousin got his at a pool supply store so that's another option. As far as the deficiencies it could be due to your pH problem as well. Hope this helps
