I want to show how grow seedlings for the first two weeks with my diy light, feel free to copy the idea as long as it's not for commercial purposes!
You need:
- a tube of the same size (or less) than the pot
- a dimmerable led light (i use a cheap cob light that i get from aliexpress with bridgelux leds)
- a cpu cooler and a phone power charger (usb 5v is ok)
- a 220v dimmer and a Digital panel multimeter/amperometer (optional). You can get the same of my prototype from ebay, aliexpress, amazon etc)
- Aluminium foil, wires etc
I think it's easy to rebuild by your own but if anyone needs some help I'll show how to build it and connect the wires.
The advantage of growing the seedling in this way is the perfect illumination on all sides that increases the growing speed of the side branches and the few watts are consumed (2-3w the first few days up to a maximum of 10w). In addition, a warm and humid micro-climate is created which is ideal for the seedlings.
With the amperometer you will know how many watts are being used and this is something I consider crucial because you can decide exactly the amount of light given to the plant.

The seed was osmoprimed for 12 hours into 0.5% kno3 (water glass) then transferred directly into coco coir.
@ihatemycat, nice one!
I grew Orange Bud my last grow. Absolutely, spectacular! My favorite citrus, so far. Good medicine for ADHD, too. Dense nugs and a decent harvest. Pineapple Express next, I think.
Currently, growing Black Cream and CBD.
@Growin_it, I thought it was an interesting strain too... in addition I was looking for something fresh but different from the usual citrous taste for this summer, and this variety is really promising!
yay! stay tuned!
@ihatemycat, With a little effort (and a lot of weed) we could create the first hemp defoliator cat in history .................... How nice to smoke weed ๐๐๐ค๐ฆ
@DreamIT, you have lifted my mood, i was getting worried that my cat was an addict! Any other kind of weed he doesn't like, even the one specifically for cats! โค๏ธ my little gourmet yummy cat ๐น
Anyway i can also say that I have a cat gardener, he definitely takes care of the defoliation technique (but i'm lazy and I don't write it in my diary), anyway it is better to let it work from mid-vegetation onwards 'cos usually goes a bit heavy! ๐
@TerpyOG,
bha unfortunately not... it was a mix of events, I changed the nutrients and had to leave the plants a couple of weeks and this mess happened.
Mainly the plant has suffered during preflowering, the leaves are clawed because the nitrogen excess, i was get sizes with the nutes that are very concentrated. Now, because of the summer heat, I have to wait for September and I'm sorry because I really like the fastbuds "fruity" strains (my favorite is blackberry).... I think this summer the strawberry pie will be over soon.... ๐ญ
