All 12 plants are THRIVING under the two EVO4-120 LED-lights from SANlight. They all have a nice healthy green color, which shows that the BIO NOVA nutrients work well. During week 5 the plants start to show their sex. The male plants start to develop male pollen sacks at the nodes (looks like a little ball on a tiny stem) and the female plants grow their first female pistils (=little fuzzy white hair growing out of the node). As soon as I see white hairs appearing on a plant, I am relieved it is a female plant, because the male plants are useless for me and have to be culled. Right now two of the four 'The Purps' plants from BC-BUD-Depot look like they are male, as soon as I am sure, I will take them out of my HOMEBOX grow-tent and destroy them (=throw them in the garbage inside a plastic bag, so I am sure no male pollen can escape).
@Compassionate_Gardener, Mahalo for your kind words, man! π I loved this round with my new SANlight EVO4-120 lamps...they id an OUTSTANDING JOB! Aloha! ππ
@Compassionate_Gardener, Mahalo for your kind words, they are much appreciated! Yes, this grow WAS AWESOME and the BLUE MINT is a fantastic plant! π
@GrownwithLED, WOW...what an GREAT outcome! The buds look AMAZING...the amount of trichomes is INSANE, especially on the Blue Mint plant! Well done...GREAT job! ππ
Good looking Hydro setup! Nicely done! I have a few runs of Purps under my belt. Always see those GIANT leaves. Love the growth and taste of that strain! Enjoy! π
@LegacyMarketFarm, Hi, there! I find it to be AWESOME...simply THE BEST! She produces a sweet, grape-candy like aroma, that transcends into the flavor when smoked. You can taste it in the inhale and exhale...she taste sooooooooo DELICIOUS! Thats why she won several High Times Cannabis Cups. I can STRONGLY recommend her! Aloha, GrownWithLED.
@GrownwithLED, How did you find the terp profile of it ? I have always had interest in growing a batch of this strain. If you got the time check out my diary & follow my profile. Let me know what you think! Happy growing man
hey there,
Great set up you have got there!
Always curious about the Sanlight, they have plenty power for your growtent.
But I think you should hang them 20 cm higher and see how that works out !
I think you will like the results because as your pictures show they had a lot of light stress.
More is not always beter, myself bought recently a Telos 010 pro and it burned all my seedlings @ 120 cm,
I had to learn my ways around a quality fixture that's all.
Now? I'm loving it, not only in yield but special in the quality of the buds.
Be Well and grow it!
@SanderanderS, HI, there! Thanks for your kind words and also the tips about the lights. I had the SANlight EVO4-120 lamps dimmed throughout veg. and beginning of flowering, therefore I dont think they had light stress. After my plants showed yellowing and some crispy leaves I checked my ph-meter and calibrated it again. It was off by a full PH-point! That means I fed them with ph=5,0 instead of ph=6,0 and that brought my soil out of balance and the plants could take up nutrients anymore...
