Dopey has been harvested at least a week early :( I had no choice, I noticed some bud rot forming on 2 of the buds and had to harvest her to avoid losing my whole plant. This started after flushing Dopey, I think the water in the pot caused moisture to form a lot more so yeah I think it’️s was my error :/ overall though I was very impressed with this strain, the whole grow was really easy just a shame about the bud rot. She smells delicious though! A mix of lemon and citrus :D lessons have been learnt from her! I pulled off a reasonable harvest too! :) still leaving the other 2 dwarfs to fully finish! They are showing no signs of bud rot (so far). I will update weight once I have some scales :)

Well apart from the bud rot which was most likely my fault this plant was very fun to grow and rewards you with some pretty dense frosty buds and a respectable harvest! The buds are now drying for 7 days and then cured - dry Weight for Dopey is 29g which I am really happy with! Other 2 girls will be harvested soon! :D I will post stats below! 1st plant (Dopey) Harvested: 10 weeks due to bud rot Harvest dry weight: 29.10G Plant 2 (Lazy) Harvested: Day 74 Harvest dry weight: 58g Plant 3 (Snow White) Harvested: Day 74 Harvest dry weight: 21g Day 74 - both remaining plants have now been harvested, giving off that lovely citrus smell 😍 will update dry weight ASAP! 0 Smoke report So I smoked a joint a week after curing my first plant, smoked some from my glass pipe last night and didn’t really feel much at all, I was gutted. BUT then I smoked a joint this morning and oh my god, it hits you pretty hard at first and have me slight paranoia but I normally get paranoia anyways when trying a new strain, it gives you a lot of headrush at the start which I like, then an hour in your left feeling very relaxed. I don’t think think flushed long enough though as it smoked a bit harsh, overall though a really enjoyable high :D0 Update - 2 weeks of cure Okay I take that back, the smoke is not harsh at all now and the high is even more intense but in a good way! The smell is of orange juice and a mix of skunk! :D very happy with the outcome overall and considering these were grown in a very small 60x60x140cm tent they have done fantastic for first time :)

ItsLegalInMyHousestarted grow question 6 years ago
Hi everyone, I need some advice here. I am currently using a 200W dual spectrum CFL for Vegatation however I know that I will require a more powerful setup for flowering, if I want to get a good yield from all 3 plants. Can anyone tell me what would be better, HPS or LED?

So the solution is easy but depends all of your cash budget, I explain better: Led light consume a lot less power and have better results in all the stages considering the low heat produced too, HPS instead cost a lot less but produces lot of heat and consume a lot of power. So I usually raccomand led light (more compact- high efficiency- low heat production) Tell me If this answer was useful for you or not, I can give you some advice about what led u can buy on budget.

Defoliation, is it worth it? It’s the start of week 5, my 3 plants are growing in a tight tent and the leaves are starting to cross between them. I’m worried that the smaller plants won’t get enough light but I’ve never defoliated before and I am nervous to try. any advice? :)

Hi there ! If some lower bud sites and your smaller plants can't get enough light then I would do defoliation. You don't need to remove the whole leaf , if only few parts of it are obscuring the light then cut them instead of the whole leaf ! You are in the first week of stretch so if you don't really want to give a defoliation a try , you can also knit your leaves together to increase light penetration !! 😁👍

Hi all! I was checking on my plants and noticed one of them is showing yellow/brown spots in some the top leaves, only showing on 1 plant but I’m nervous it’s leaf septoria?? The plant is in week 10 and is my last pic on week 10 diary. Does anyone know what this could be? :)

Hi @ItsLegalInMyHouse! This looks more like a nutrients deficiency or excess in the past weeks, leaf septoria creates round-shaped yellow&brown spots, you're just having a slight yellowing between the veins. Enjoy your harvest! 👊

Congratulations on being legal! That’s a load off your mind, eh? You don’t specify but I’m guessing these are auto fems based upon the light schedule. Good luck, but you’ll do fine I’m sure. You could be in any of 20% of these great United States and be legal now. Let’s make it all 50! LETS MAKE IT GLOBAL!

@growdoctordc, haha definitely less paranoia now! Yeah these are autos so I’ve given them a nice in between light schedule 😊 and absolutely! Let’s stop the reefer madness! I’m happy to see people starting to open there eyes to these beautiful plants in a more positive way 🌱👀 it’s great medicine for me 👌🏻

@Mrs_Larimar, yeah the other 2 were okay thankfully, I have harvested the other 2 now and I think I will add an additional fan for the lower part of the plant which wasn’t receiving the best air flow, I also did not use an extraction fan but will add one for future grows! 😁

@OutForReal thanks for the answer dude! I’ve only defoliated on Snow White which was always going to my experiment plant as I am new to all this, I topped her a week or two ago but didn’t want to put her through anymore stress, I will admit I’ve went a bit crazy with the defoliation on her and LST, I accidentally broke one of the main stems from the intersect ever so slightly, I’m hoping she will be able to heal and regain her strength! The other 2 I am letting them grow naturally, just defoliating 1 for now. Are you able to look at the pics I just uploaded and let me know if I did it okay? 😂 hopefully I haven’t stunted her growth
ItsLegalInMyHouse
ItsLegalInMyHouse
@OutForReal, thanks man, yeah I will see how it goes and will keep updating on her progress 😊👍🏻
OutForReal
OutForReal
@ItsLegalInMyHouse,From what I can see it is well done ! You defoliate to let the middle stems get more light so it will increase your canopy ! Your LST is good , every stems are well bended and the broken stem will heal in a week or 2 ! Some peoples are stessing their plants more than you and still get a pretty good result so I wouldn't worry if I were you ! I'll stay around & you can hit me anytime you'll need some help , I'll try to do my best ! 👍

If you need to boost your light output (you should at least for blooming) for cheap you can use 14w led bulbs. They are real cheap and got alot of lumens.

@dandaru, holly molly how is that happening ? i thought this wouldn't be such an issue with LEDs !
ItsLegalInMyHouse
ItsLegalInMyHouse
@dandaru, I’ve never ha d a Powerful LED so your experience is good to know, maybe I can purchase LED - let it run in the tent on its own for a few hours and see what temp the tent hits :) if the temp is good then I can just stick to LED :)

Thats a good Plan but be careful LEDs will heat your Box too. Im using a Mars hydro reflector "420w" (real 187w) and 2 bulbs and ive trouble with too much heat (room temp 22°c and inside the Box 28-31°c

Best of luck for your 1st grow. It’s exciting, and all I can say is to ask questions and research as much as you can. If done right you will be rewarded nicely for your efforts!!!

@MagicMikesMeds, thanks for providing me with some more food for thought in terms of what type of lighting to use, I think I will be heading down the LED route however because it’s a low budget grow I am looking to go with something a bit less power hungry such as 300W, do you reckon this and my 200W CFL will be sufficient enough for all 3 plants? I may be scrapping the CFL completely...

@MagicMikesMeds, agreed : i'm on HPS 600 right now for my first grow and the heat is riddiculous, as is running an AC full time, and so will my electricity bill be ! live and learn but if its summer get an LED for sure.
MagicMikesMeds
MagicMikesMeds
@ItsLegalInMyHouse, I saw your question about your lighting situation and personally I would look into a COB LED setup. I had a Kind 750 at first, but the footprint was not right for a 5x5 tent. I yielded 16.5 oz’s off of 6 plants. I immediately realized that the light was not right for my room so I upgraded to a true 900w “Fatty VS” from Timber Grow Lights and my next round I harvested 37.25 oz’s off of only 3 plants. The price of the LED’s is much higher, but I think the results speak for themselves as my energy costs are considerably less than using other types of 1000 watt lighting options as there is very minimal heat from the LED’s compared to other 1000 watt sources. I have friends that grow with HPS and the initial investment was significantly less, however, they are paying much more to operate as they need an AC unit to keep their room in an acceptable temperature range whereas I do not. If you can pony up the $ for a nice 1k LED, it will end up paying for itself relatively quickly... just my 2 cents...
