Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend! The Strawberry Banana Auto from Fastbuds is starting to smell very good and starting to stack up nicely. She is only 26 inches tall but I feel like her colas are going to be quite thick. I did a light defoliation this morning and took off all the LST tie downs. She is looking super healthy and loving this Medic Grow Spectrum X.
I currently have the Spectrum X running at 100% power and also integrating the UV/IR bars for 75 minutes just prior to lights off. I am super happy with this light so far, she puts out impressive PAR, and runs fairly cool. The only thing I would change is to add a timer just for the UV/IR bars, and allow the main light to be run on a timer.
I will probably do one last light defoliation in the next couple of days and that will be about it other than keeping the reservoir full and in the correct PH range. The tomatoes outside are absolutely loving the runoff from these autos, as that is all they have had to drink since they were about 3 weeks old.
Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! ๐ช

@Tweezer, This is going to be my first run with , and I've been easing up on the alloted time , I'm almost 4 weeks in and I'm around 1hr15 min on... I'm not using the IR just the UV .... IR will come later in the grow as I don't want any extra stretching ๐ So far so good , but it may take a few runs to see if ive gain any real benefits ๐ Happy Growing
@Tropicannibis_Todd, Hey brother, thats alot of Strawberry in your garden.....I see you are growing with the Mars Hydro UR45 UV/IR bar, have you completed any runs with it so far? This is my first run with supplemental UV/IR lighting and I am super excited to see the results.....How many hours are you running it per day?
Ahhhh I seen this light. It has a cool LCD display. Aswel as by itself functional IR? Medicgrow look good. Hopefully soon they'll break into the EU? @MedicGrow
@gottagrowsometime, First time ever running any of their products so I can't say much other than all the reviews I read are very good. I will have a much better update here in a couple months.....No way to run the UV/IR lights solo though if that is what you were asking....
One of my favourites from FB, Heather send me some, so ill do forest run with 9 of them.
Personally think, for me - its most tastiest strain from FB range.
I would not give it to a friend ;))))
@Tweezer, it was a good yield for me also from my memory. I've got a few autos that need to be done, first I need to get a veg tent setup. I'll use that for autos and veging.
@Wyregrasser, Thanks brother, I started out with autos, then I grew a couple of photo mainlines, I have gotten decent results with both, I like building mainlines out of photos, but autos have come a long way.....
Wonderful setup and plants bro.
It was my first grow, the only one survivor in that run of 3, and she has been good and prized me of all the love I gave her and her unlucky sisters. Quite tasty indeed, produced much and good.And it hit quite nicely. Good luck on you grows mate! peace
