@love_violet, good thing about CFL’s is you can put the really close to the plant. Just watch for bleaching. As long as it’s not ticking her your good to go!!! That will also help stop her from stretching
Yes your math is right, i smoked some buds throughout the curing process to see the different in the weeks of curing. I do beleve the longer the cure the better the buds. I currently have one curing for 2 months now cracked to seal and WOW, very smooth and alot better of a tasting and smelling smoke then when i first started smoking it at a 3 week cure. And thanks the_Elvis that means alot coming from you.
The final weight came in at 125.42g!!
As for the smoke report, here we go in real time.
Using my pax2 vaporizer on the second setting, the hit is almost berry like mixed in with some skunky diesel. Already I can feel it starting at the base of my skull creeping towards my eyes and bam with a full on head numbing sensation................... After spacing out for a few minutes I feel my body relaxed and not wanting to get out of this chair. This is going to be some great night time/ movie smoke!!! Great genetics @FastBuds, cant wait to get the Blackberry started!
@nicknackpotsack, no, I didn’t use fox farm soil, never had. If your using LED’s a little extra CAl/Mag never hurts. I would have to see what fox farm uses as their base of the soil. An easy way to make sure your ph doesn’t drop mid grow would be to amend it with some Dolomite lime. I get it off amazon and make sure it’s powdered. I only use 4 tablespoons per each square foot of soil. It buffers the pH and supplies the plants with all the cal/mag they need. Also make sure you mix the soil and water it, let it sit for a couple of days before you plant. This will ensure the lime has leached into the soil. Also I would introduce some microbs And would inoculate the soil the same time and water with buffer RO and a tablespoon per gallon of molasses.
@nicknackpotsack, sounds good man... you can ask me whatever you want, my goal with starting this was to learn and to help other produce their own quality medicine! I have learned a lot through these grows, and made a lot of mistakes along the way so don’t hesitate to ask me questions.
Thanks so much WeirdBeard! I'm getting one of those full spectrum Morsen LED 80 watt grow lights with the red/blue/white/IR & UV, delivered by Friday. I'm feeling cautious about running big watts here so I'm hoping this highly rated 20=80 watt spotlight bulb will work with this one plant. I'll wind up with about 75-80 total actual watts that equal about 400 incandescent watts, and I'd like to keep using both led and cfl. I sure hope that's enough light for my little 2-ft x 3-ft growing space in the closet. I decided to call this plant Purilla since it's purple gorilla. She got about twenty earthworms from my garden today and I mulched her with pine needles to hold her sturdy, cause I think that four-inch stem is a bit of a stretch. I'll probably earth-up an inch or so. Day six since sprouting, and I can see the very beginnings of that second set of leaves, so there's still hope. Thanks again! :)

I need help with my set up. 300 watts of LED brought forth a gorgeous single LSD-25 plant, indoors. I need to know, 1) how many bulbs were used to total 300 watts? Were those 300 equivalent watts or true watts? 2) Were purple grow lights used, or more like the white-light Sun Blaster? I'm growing a single purple gorilla plant with 7 smaller watt bulbs - white LED and CFL, with true wattage ranging from 6 watts LED = 50 (5) , and a couple of CFLs with true watts ranging from 12-30 = 60-100 equivalent watts, each. (In my closet with a heavy black/gold[specks of hematite] virgin clay organic soil/compost medium. I added compost, perlite, crushed egg shells, and coffee grounds. My soil is very alkaline.)
My seed sprouted and stood up within 48 hrs after planting directly in a 3-gal pot. It's been five days since it sprouted, now, and I'm looking for the second set of true leaves. I'm a bit nervous because the first set opened up two days ago. I'm concerned that maybe I don't have enough light. ... (the stem is 4" tall and sturdy, and other little sprouts that popped up have also stopped growing, California poppies and probably lupins) ... but I did notice in some You Tube diaries last night that several growers experienced a growth-pause at this point. Is this normal?
I was planning on getting a set of 4 or six 5=40 watt LED grow spotlights with red/blue/UV & IR cells after I get paid tomorrow, ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07428QCCZ/?coliid=I154NO701AMW89&colid=18NJEV9O6BLXJ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it ) and use them on flexible extensions, ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B079K5P6P2/?coliid=I3PSIF2T3MQV9L&colid=18NJEV9O6BLXJ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it ) but now I wonder if I'd do better to just buy a single higher watt bulb. I can afford to invest about $30.00. I've already got 2700 and 6500K going in LED and CFL, Should I go for the colorful growlights to add to the bunch and fill in a few missing spectrums? ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B078B8HGRR/?coliid=I3CATT2KID8YU5&colid=18NJEV9O6BLXJ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it )
Or would it be better to just stick with the white lights in a particular Kelvin?

Sorry for the lenghty post, This is my first grow. ...
Also, where can I get LSD-25, Jack Herer, and Green Crack seeds in CA? I poked around all day & night last weekend, and I'm still pretty confused about Fast Bud distributors for my region, even though they say they're from Los Angeles... ? Help!!! This purple gorilla seed came with some bud I got a few months ago, and I'm really glad it sprouted, but I don't know if it's male or female yet...
I'll appreciate your guidance, Thanks, love_violet
@love_violet,The 300w where true wats and it was a single platinum led p300 grow light. I would say that it is normal to exsperiencrnaome sort of grow pause at this point, as long as the leave look good and you not over watering you should be fine at this point...I would go for more light however I would start playing with UV and shit like that until you get you medium and nutes down. As long as you have full spectrum light your girls will grow.
Thanks, WeirdBeard! Purilla is coming along! Tomorrow, Thurs 4/12 will be it's 21st day after sprouting, so hopefully I'll have indications of sex soon. It's got two sets of three leaves now, and the next set is sticking up from the center. It seems to be taking about two days for each new set of leaves to unfold. I wonder when the 5/7-pointed leaves will appear?
There's an Awesome webinar finishing up on healing properties of cannabis called "The Sacred Plant". This last episode has really great info on the healing properties of terpenes and personalized treatment methods for serious illnesses (down to the genetic level of the person and the plant). Here's the link: https://thesacredplant.com/webinar/webinar7fpc Enjoy! It'll be up until Fri/13th at about 9:00 pm EST. If you miss it, just let me know. I was able to download it, but I just haven't uploaded it to my Google Drive yet... Peace & <3
Thanks, Weirdbeard! Awesome lady and nice smoke report too! Yes, LSD-25 is so special!
Very nice pictures too! We hope you'll have a great time with her!
Enjoy growing faster!
Nice grow! The lsd-25 is one of the best locking autos i´ve ever seen and the smoke is really good, but personally, my favorite is Rhino Ryder. But i´m still waiting to try the new fast buds releases....😬
For a 60 day autoflower 536 grams is amazing!! even wet.. FYI If you take 536 -70% for water weight, you get 160 grams dry.. thats fantastic !!! is my math correct??
@DonFazool, I'm sure you will, this one is very resistant to pH fluctuations and really is a hardy plant!!! Good luck with your grow, I'll follow along!
