The pH was off for a few days due to my meter breaking. Plant did ok, but is looking better now that the pH is in range. It's taking nutrients well, as it was at 300ppm before I watered it down to 250ppm yesterday. Looks healthy, with great roots. Should see some explosive growht over the next week!
@@Chi_Town_White_Boy, yeah crazy how much alike while being grown completely different! I didnt top mine this time but was thinking she wouldn't like it, going to do some serious training on her next time tho. I got 2 100watt cobs cree cxb3590 and a 100 watt quantum board in the middle. The quantum board has a wider spread so i can cut a cob out and still have okay light. I love it compared to my viparspectra, less heat, easier on the eyes also.
@RyukyuFarmer, no kidding! They almost look like the same plant! ๐ I'm going to give this strain another go. I topped at 3rd node on accident. I'm not 100% sure how much of a difference it'll make waiting til 4th node -- these plants seem to switch to flower very fast. I wonder if any topping or HST will cause low yields? Not sure. But I LOVE the smell and flavor to this bud. It's not fully cured, but it tastes great! Does your smell just like fruity berries, too? BTW - your Northern Lights kicked ass! I've got 3 ViparSpectra 300W (uses ~130w) and 1 PerfectSun MINI. I haven't done a lot of testing yet between the lights, but ViparSpectra has given me decent yields when I grow right. Do you notice a big diffference between your Vipars and your COB? And how are you doing the COB? Just ordering one at a time and powering a few of them in a custom built frame or something? I'll have to do some research on them...
I like your picture ๐๐ป๐๐ป I like pictures of nice strains with natural light . But damn some ledlights give such effects, good job again bro respect ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
@HylianGrass, Thanks brother! I agree -- the purple lights are terrible for pictures! Especially for getting pictures of purple buds!!!
I've got another one of these girls growing right now. Hoping it's another purple pheno and I can get some massive buds off her this time! ๐
I have pretty much the same set up going. I just started week 2. My last reading was PPM 240 before I changed the reservoir. Plants were thriving so I up'd it to 480ppm this week, which is still using nutes at 1/2 strength. My tap water is 100PPM. Good luck on the grow, I'll be following along!
@Bakelsack, sounds like an awesome start! I'm coming along with your grow as well! I love to get ideas from other growers, and there aren't a whole lot of hydro growers here compared to soil or coco. I'm using RO water, and am getting a new 20 gal tank tomorrow ๐ I'll be keeping an eye on yours to see what to expect with mine! Good luck with the grow!
