Is this one of them hermit crab plants?

Lagged · Dec 2, 2020

Unfortunately, while the other 10 females are raging bitches with pistils flying all over the place, this one is not.

We noticed a few of these...we'll say balls.. had white pistils coming out of the middle. Thought maybe it was a late bloomer.

A couple of days later, no real progression on looking like a female.

What do you think?

I see pistils

That's a female crab, not a hermit.

Female. The nodes are just growing together quite uniformly and not stretching out much to my eye. What kinda light are you using?

It looks like you have powdery mildew, not sure if you noticed that yet.

I did notice the spots, wasn't sure what it was after I posted these..we had a problem with fungas gnats too. Used some neem oil on soil and leaves. I'll get better pics tomorrow of all the plants

Yeah you posted on my thread yesterday (thank you!) Been looking into that. I'm going to get better pictures overall tomorrow with lights off. I'll tag you if you are willing to lend some expert advice.

We have 25x19.5w | 1650 lumens | PAR38 | 3k (will switch to 2.7K after week 4 flower) and 1x 80w | 10000 lumens | Cob | 5000k in the middle

It sounds like your lighting might be a bit underpowered. So you're plugging in 25 PAR38 bulbs? Have you had a good experience with that in the past? I'm pretty sure those lights aren't powerful enough but I'm not a light expert.

I think we did okay. This was with LESS light than we have now. these are micro grows 2ft and under.

2.5 oz on the first, 2oz on the second.

the last one was foxtailing because we stressed the fuck outta it by accident (first grow) they also had worse lights for the first half of their life, the last half was with about 75% of what we have now. The middle two tho were dense as fuck and so sticky we had to break it up with trimming scissors lol

The buds look good quality but definitely you need better lights. Perhaps look into Mars-Hydro panels they are very good I've been running 8 of them for literally 2 years non stop and they all work I only had 1 driver fail and start flickering and they swiftly took care of it and mailed me a new driver.

Definitely your lights are too weak if you notice your lower nodes are still stuck in the branch they aren't stretching up to the light as I don't think they have enough energy.

p.s I use Mars-Hydro TSW-2000 panels.

Yeah shit man that would be nice. I think I would need 3 of them. Price isn't too exciting considering this started as a budget thing..but here we are at 25 bulbs now lmfao

Yeah man. The Power consumption @100% on the Mars Hydro TSW2000 is 300 watts (150 watts per/driver). ATM you're using almost the same as 2 panels as it is. each TSW-2000 will cover a 4x4' area @ 12" above canopy.

Here are some results I got from 2 x Mars-Hydro TSW-2000 fixtures.

There are better options than Mars. Also you said you're doing a micro grow I thought. How big of a space do you have to work with?

HAHA love the mustache man!

That is some pretty nice plants there hombre. I've got a slight height problem though. We're growing in a space that right now allows 2ft maximum plants with the lights 18" in flower (micro grow ftw). How many would we need for about 10 plants?

Yeah forgot to mention haha. We have unlimited horizontal space. 2ft max plants size with 18inch to spare from lights

Do you want to do any DIY stuff? It's not too complicated. Because strips or HLG QB132's or 120's would work great.
