Hey now, this week went very well. I transplanted her on day 17 and she looked a little grumpy for about 24 hours but her leaves are now pointing upwards and she is responding very well to the larger airpot. I still have the Spectrum X in V1 at 30% which is doing an excellent job of keeping her low to the ground with nice tight nodes. She is only six inches tall and working her on her 6th node by day 21 so I am very happy with this light fixture so far. I transplanted her into a mixture of Coco Coir and Perlite and set up an auto watering system that is currently feeding her 4 times per day, Once at lights on, and then every 5 hours thereafter until the 4th feeding, then it repeats at lights on. I will top her just above the 6th node as soon as I have room between 6 and 7, which will be in the next several days. I know some people don't think it's beneficial to top autos, and I would certainly agree it is not the best way to go in all setups. However, when utilizing high frequency fertigation in coco coir it is absolutely necessary. The issue is vertical growing space if you are growing in an indoor tent. I use a combination of LST, topping, mainlining, manifolding, and super cropping to try to keep my plants from growing into the lights, but it can be difficult with certain strains. As soon as I top her just above the 6th node, I will begin LST and start bending the mains down and tying them off to the side of the airpot via rubber coated wire. I will gradually increase her feed and just continue with LST and occasional defoliation the rest of the way. I am also super happy with this new MedicGrow light and how tight she is keeping the nodes on ALL the plants in the tent currently including my tomatoe plants that have just exploded since going under this light last week. I will post a few pics of them as well. They will go outside in about a week and will get fed the runoff from the Cannabis plants which will be mixed with my basement dehumidifier water to lower the EC, then I PH it to between 6 and 7 and the tomatoes absolutely EXPLODE....I hope everyone is have a great week, be safe and Blaze On!

@Tweezer, I haven't grown this strain but anything with OG kush is normally 👌
Dutch passion have some amazing genetics but it's been years since I grew any (the to grow list is always growing and ever changing)
I've grown purple punch from barney's farm , it was a real nice plant with a nice high and was so pretty 😍.
Have you grown barney's farm miosa evo ? I've grown maybe 10 seeds of it ,all really nice but 2 of those were very very terpy in a breath taking way , sadly I didn't keep mothers of them but it's a strain I will definitely grow and search that particular pheno out .
Have a great weekend brother.
@LittleBigTrees, Thanks much appreciated, have you ever grown these genetics and if so how was she? This is actually my first run of anything Dutch Passion, but I have heard great things about them. I am going to be popping a couple Strawberry Banana Autos from Fastbuds tomorrow and then some Gorilla Girl by Sweet sseeds and Purple Punch by Barney's Farm in another week to fill out the tent. Stay safe brother.
@Tweezer, nah, it was a freebie seed that ended up cloning itself by the dozen. lots of root seedlings popped up once flower hit with cotyledon leaves and everything. pulled one up by the stem haha
@@resimax, Thanks brother, I hope she ends up looking like your girl scout cookie clone, that would be fucking sick!!! Tough to get good clones in my region, did you grow them yourself?
With that setup 😍 you'll smash these. My friend did the auto glueberry from dutch passion and from my memory it turned out very good as with the other DP seeds (skywalker haze auto) I've seen, I'll be doing more from these guys myself. Love all the info you add, I need to get myself a uv/ir supplement light, I've got the mars ts3000 atm. Love the setup you've got, I'll get there one day lol.
@Aldo90, Much appreciated brother. Mars Hydro makes great lights for the price, my first light was a 100 Watt Spider Farmer and then i pretty much used a combination of mainly mars hydro FC 3000 and a little bit of Vipar Spectra and an occasional HPS bulb. I saw you grow in coco sometimes, did you ever set up an automatic feeding system that waters them every 6 hours or whatever? I build my own self draining saucers with a few parts you can buy off amazon and it makes life so much easier. All I do is mix a 5 gallon bucket of nutes every other day or whatever and dump it into the reservoir. I also have to clean the reservoir and pump once a week (which takes me 10-15 minutes, and also check the PH once a day and add a few drops of PH down if necessary. The most expensive part is a condensate pump that is like $120 but it is absolutely worth it. It allows the runoff to just follow gravity into a bucket in the corner of your tent, then when it gets up a few inches the pump kicks on and pumps it outside the tent to a larger runoff reservoir. I use the runoff to feed my tomatoe plants and they go crazy from it. The feeding system is just a 14 gallon reservoir with a pump and airstone hooked up to a digital timer and then a feeding line to each plant with a ballvalve to adjust the flow, and connected to a halo that goes around your plant and you can attach to the grow container. Only takes an afternoon to set up and it super worth it. I can go away for the weekend and forget about it.
If you want the website to build it hit me up, be safe brother.
@KingSalomonsWeed, thanks brother, I appreciate that, this is my first time ever trying out supplemental uv/ir but alot of the lab reports I have consistently boost thc in like clones by around 4-6% on average in a controlled environment, so I am super excited to compare the results with some same strains I previously ran.
Of course - your babies look amazing. Im in love with the hanging grow bags as well. I started strapping my bags to an old useless car port frame to get them away from the rabbits lol. Love seeing your grows. Grow on toke on! 💚
Those medic grow lights are identical to sonofarm lights. I was trying to look into it today but I couldn't find much. Literally the same light fixtures inside and out ??? Let me know how you like it
@@Billyandbarb, damn you are correct, I looked em up and I don't see any difference, maybe selling the same light under 2 brands? Not sure....I will have a much better review in a few months but so far am very happy with the Spectrum X....
@@@Billyandbarb, hey now, that's just a 200 watt panel heater I use mainly for seedlings and set to only run during lights off as supplemental heat to prevent leggy seedlings.
