MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

i just did this with philips 12w leds =(100w) white light 6500k 1 mini fan and this humidifier the middle 4 are different strain than the others and most of them arte toped for main lining i was thinking if should i added 2 reds,2 another whites or let it like it is just adding another pair of better fans, also i see leaves are growing like lettuces with those weird curves i have read before that its normal but i dont remember in which cases also i know this is not the section for this but this one in flower stage had trhips i just kill them all with potasic soap,neem and diatomaceous earth i cant even see 1 of them but after that i add a little more cal mag thinking the yellow leaves where showing me that deficiency but i think i over feed now i just flush her and this is her actual state so what you think guys :v

good vibes!

HELL YEAH, MAN!!! I've been trying to find more people growing like this. It's extremely interesting how cheap lights can be used to grow. I would love to see a grow journal if you plan to do this again. I currently have a 50w diy "panel" i made with hot glue, chicken wire, and the led bulbs I'm gonna be moving hopefully soon, so I'm not gonna be able to start an indoor grow currently, but I'm gonna make a cardboard grow box, and buy a carbon filter and see if I can at all get 40+ grams off the light

And to my knowledge, any deficiency that shows, can't be reversed. You need to look at the new top growth to determine if you fixed the issue.

As for the lights, change to either 2700k or 3000k bulbs. They have a better "fall" spectrum. Exactly what cannabis plants should have during flowering. A mix of the two might result in better results as well. I'm no expert, but that's what (I think) I know from my research on the topics given.

thats it man im planing to add some of that white bulbs to my 4 vero 3000k to stop the stretching when flowering and make a full journal when it is complete with the fans.

what do you think about mix 4 white and 2 red in veg should that reds help in some kind of way assuming the sun is like a full spectrum light? or by the closer distance they have between the canopy and lights,they will burn?

I’m looking forward to following.

Adding the red light in should help flower production, but im pretty sure too much red during beg will cause stretchy plants. A lot of blue in veg should keep them shorter. And with the diy led bulbs, you can get them about as close as cfls. Maybe like 6 inches away, or closer if your plants can handle it. Just experiment with your light. If it starts to burn them, back off a few inches and find the sweet spot

I think lights where too close maybe just 3 of them in that space would work better 1 week later 2 from seed

Ill update here if u dont mind

Don't mind at all. I'm gonna harvest my two small outdoor guerilla plants in about 2 weeks and I'll post an update about that. Would love to see what you get for your yield

Week 4 feed 1xw just like biobizz feeding table says and add water when they seems thirsty i think i saw thpse little lines in leafes that trips leave behind so ill add some neem potasic soap and diatpmaceus lets see if i can beat this mtfs they r a nightmare ill chop the other one cuz she seems infested

So it's been a long ass time but I did harvest the plants and unfortunately they only dried to like a quarter oz or so. I didn't weigh it because I didn't have a scale at the time, but on the day I harvested it, I was trimming and someone walked inside on the other side of the house and said it smelled like weed bad. So the bud still smelled good, looked good, tasted good, and felt good. Several seeds came out of nowhere but I was fine with it. Ended up growing them into small plants with some led floodlights but I had to harvest Early due to family issues, but even harvested early they were great
