Only made up my mind to do a diary at 10 days since she popped but will up date with new pics daily . Planning on using as little nutrients as possible but do have Dutch pro if needed . I topped very early hoping I didn't slow her . Looking forward to trying this cookie cross . I'm a new grower so not sure how I will do but will try to keep you up to date daily . I'm growing in biobizz allmix under a 600w hps.im watering with just ph 6.5 water from the tap but i let in stand for 24 hrs before I used .
Thinking of going with led grow lights . So dont have heat issues . Has anyone used of know about the bestva 1000w smart series led . Iv been looking but there's little to no reviews
Thanks
Yeah man, I don't know if you've seen them but there's loads of youtube videos and playlists with those bestva lights. Just search you should find them. The results are not at all bad either. Just one thing I would take care of before taking the plunge is to dial in the surface covered by those lights. I may very well be the case that a quantum board is more efficient or that two 500s or even three 300s cover a bigger area and you want that coverage ! So? I would say that LED gives consistently solid results based on what I've seen. looken forward to your flower ! 🚀
Start of week 3 no problems up to now watering with ph 6.5 about a ltr at a time . It seems to be going well it's deffo in flower now hope it get a lot bigger yet finding it hard to say anything as all iv done is ph the water and water her. Day 16 and all I have had to do is water . It's looking really healthy
With no feed . Up to now im impressed with how good looks with how little I have done . Just topped early and Made sure shes watered . Deffo easy grow for newbies up to now anyway ... Day 19 stretched about 4 inch up to now hoping will get a bit more . Starting to really stink and seems to be putting flowers on nice .
Day 20 and flowering is well on its way
Week 4 still only watering with ph 6.5 water and she looks really well I think . Not very big up to now but she's still growing so will see . Had to change the light to 12 12 as have other plants in with her . Day 25 had spaced out with a plant spacer just to let more light in
Day 29 misses day 28 as mega busy but she's looking really nice .starting to frost up already and had a pinkish colour on pistals which is nice not very smelly up to now she started to smell but still only a little . Day 30 she had a little feed of Dutch pro bloom A and B only at 1.5 ml per ltr and some calmag at 0.5 ml per ltr she has a little pink on the leaf stems and looked it up and I think it need cal mag . But i really feed her a little as i was feeding my other im still only going to use minimal as poss . She's really frosting up and packing on some bud . Mephisto says its ready from 65 to 75 days I hope things are as easy as they have been up to now . She's very open to let light in without plucking her .makes thing really easy . Just kept on top of water apart from the little feed she had . I know the nutritional both say B on it but i found it really hard to do on my phone and gave up after lots of trys
Start of week 6 and the frost is coming in thick and fast not really done much shes had one little feed but is back on ph 6.5 . She looks nice and putting more frost daily
Yesterday added my new quantum boards and they seem to be working great. my humidity has gone up hoping it's not to bad. I know the nutrients are wrong I cant do it on my phone it just keeps picking them so I gave up . At day 40 you can really see her change now she's different everyday . She's started to smell really sweet can deffo see where the cookies comes into it . Very nice . Been such an easy grow iv made up my mind to do a full auto grow next time with mephisto genetics .
Added my 3 quantum board 450 watts and my temps are great at 25 c but my humidty has gone up to 65 % and I'm wondering how much of a problem this is going to be in flower .I have plenty of air movement . I just don't want mildew or anything .
Hi @Makeitlegal, congrats on your new QBs! Your current relative humidity would definitely become a problem in flowering stage, as buds could be affected by mold/rot. I like to decrease the relative humidity right after the stretch has ended, around 35%, in order to prevent bud-rot / mold and encourage resin production. And this is done by combining my air extractor (increase speed) and a tiny dehumidifier from my local growshop (absorb water in the air). Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
Day 43 and all is going good and its been really easy up to now iv not really done much to her . She's had a few feeds of Dutch pro bloom A and B at 3.5 ml per ltr and cal mag at 1 ml per ltr . I can see the difference everyday shes packing it on nicely and so easy to grow . She's smelling really sweet I can see where cookies comes from . Day 44 and just had out to take pictures and the smell has kick in a lot . More raw funk than before.. from day 47 missed 2 days and going to miss more as phone broke . I will still update just will not be everyyday for a few week .
Day 55 and she's really stinking funky now not been able to take pic as much as phone broke . She really frosty and packing some beef on now . She has been so easy iv not really done anything shes a real joy . Iv fed her twice with very low amounts but she's only had ph 6.5 water for most of it and she's a stunner really really frosty almost no leaf pulling and she's open . Just so easy
She popped really quick and didn't stop . I topped early and didn't seem to slow her at all .I spread her out a little but that was pretty much it . Didn't have to pull any leaves as didn't have meny . Frost came early thick and fast . A real easy to grow I fed her twice with about 1/4 strength Dutch pro . But i could of done the whole grow without any . She's a loverly looking plant ,looks white shes so frosty . Not really smelly . It's has a funk about her but not mega strong . I will put more info when dryed , 57 grams dry now for a cure b4 i smoke . She's not the stinkyest or biggest butt I think she did nice and she's so frosty . Had a try before went in jar it's nice but i took about a week early so not mega strong taste
What a fast little auto! Week 3 flowering is really quick!
Good luck in your harvests looks like its going to be fire! 😎 Ill follow along for the final result!
Hey there , humidity goes up and down with your watering cycle so just be aware of that fact whilst taking measurements. Basically it's no harm done at this point. The main reason why folks like to get lower humidity is because they're tryen to prevent like fungus, rot, and even bugs that seem to thrive at 65% . Another thing is that trykes pop out a bit more in lower humidity levels. you're on week 3 of flower so try to dial in your humidity and temps - that can go a real long way towards your yield ! If you have good air circulation already not much more you can do except : make sure the exhaust goes out the room completely, or add an air intake or increase the air intake with cooler drier outside air. The demidifier works too, but i don t use one. Better safe than sorry bro - you want to get on that ! dassit 🚀 check this out too : https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-indoor-cannabis-growing-relative-humidity-and-temperatures-n243 just trying to help :-)
Hi @Makeitlegal! If you want to go with LED, there's nothing better than LM301B top bin chips. Those high intensity diodes built by samsung could be used in strips or on PCB boards (so called "quantum boards") and deliver the best efficiency you can find on the market nowadays. I would add a few dollars and grab some LM301B 3500k strips + a meanwell driver (dimmable) to go DIY and have the perfect setup for your grow space. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
@Stick, hey thanks for info iv just pull the trigger on 3 quantum boards . 450 total watts .looking in to them and I think that should be plenty for my 1x1x2 space . So thanks man for great info

Thanks for the replys . The humidity is at 63 % with the door fully open and a big 60 watt fan blowing in and the room the tents in has air comin in from the window
