Hot damn ! These are filling out beautifully this week. The nugs are ripening and looks amazing! They are coated in crystal, smell dank and look sexy. The colours of the buds are starting to show and it’s almost time to harvest !
I think next week will be a flush and then a harvest ! Looks like a heavy yield of dank crystally buds
COB Light Specs:
This light is a beast. I ran everything through an online calculator .. for those who know numbers of this sorta stuff it’s very impressive!
This light has basically the same power as a 1000w HPS but it has a full spectrum and uses about half the watts and keeps the grow room at a perfect 75F. It even is producing super dense buds.. Much much better than HPS so far id say!
Total Power usage : 500w
Total Lumens : 90,000
Total PPF : 1140
Total PPFD: 1350
Total Cost: $1100 Canadian Dollars
The Sun naturally provides 50-60DLI(daily light integral) each day on good weather in areas like California.
18hours x 1350PPFD x 0.0036 = 87.5DLI
With some simple math , we can get that this light running 18 hours a day will produce a DLI of 87.5. This light is so strong .. I could even add on CO2 to overdrive the growth or simply dim the amount of light during the day!
(I currently dim the light down to about 400w of total power as it’s simply puts out more than the plant can use right now..)
Even for photoperiod plants this light would provide 58DLI , a fantastic number for only 12 hours of light.
Hopefully my geekiness isn’t too obvious! 🤓

Its Charles Parato....I have one question about WEEK 1 your feeding during that week...how many days after you planted did you wait for the first nutrient feeding? I think I am going to use this feeding schedule for Fast Buds Zkittlez...in the germination process now....will have a diary started next week or so...already putting together some videos and photos....probably post my diary a week behind my actual process...more or less I want to know HOW SOON CAN I USE THE RAPID START???
@@TheWeedMan, well I jumped the gun loaded my first diary....I didnt know you could easily edit it for each week....I will add a Day-7 slide show of each plant again....THEY LOVED THE 1ML CALMAG & RAPID START each..green'ed right up even started TINY TINY TINY little serrated leaves in like NO TIME FLAT....they were looking a bit purple...on the first round leaves......BUT GOING GREAT.....got what 14-15 likes on my diary in my first hour....THANKS AGAIN YOU DID A GREAT JOB LETTING SOMEONE TEACH THEMSELVES.....im going to nail this thing,,,,I DONT HAVE ANYHTING ELSE TO DO BUT GIVE PLASMA TWICE A WEEK AND PLAY ICE HOCKEY TWICE A WEEK....well thats my physical therapy...Ice Hockey....payed for it all with BLOOD MONEY from the Plasma center...O'yeah that reminds me I need to list my expenses for my $1000 4x8 tent budget grow....this new light I think even you would approve of....I LOVE IT...so much better....photos of it in the TENT SET UP SLIDE SHOW....totally impressed...compared to the others I thought were good....brighter to the eyes, and better spectrum according to the camera

@@TheWeedMan, whelp I said "FUCK IT" which is actually a BOOK TITLE I started....I said all 8 look great its day 3.5-4 lets go for it....so I hit them with a light quick watering at Ph 5.8 with 1ml Rapid Start & 1ml CalMag both GHE....based on the color...RAPID START is just more Magnesium in it...TOTAL RIP OFF....but I got it for $7 so im not going to complain....WOW THAT TOOK MY Ph WAY DOWN...had to check three times before I had the right amount of Ph UP in there to put it at 5.7-6.0....I CANT AFFORD A QUALITY Ph meter and the cheap one NOT GOOD AT ALL...so using the chemical Ph test kit....but rinsing things off...My R/O/ water is already perfect at 6.0 so I have to love that for $0.87 a gallon from the store...have to see how my tap water is after my R/O filter system arrives...BUT FOR $90 it will pay for itself in under a month.....GOT 8 UP ALL ABOUT 2 INCHES...LOOKING REALLY GOOD...should have a diary worth looking at come Tuesday night Wednesday afternoon....I THINK IVE GOT IT....went all Zkittlez figured trying to deal with four different genetics to soon would be a disaster for at least half the plants...I have to heavy's and two moderate to light eaters....LOOKING GOOD....hope they can handle the CalMag & Rapid Start...1ml each to about 1.3 gallons...BUT VERY LIGHT WATERING......will Ph water again later to make sure it hasn't changed to much....but I use a CHEMICAL PUMP SPRAYER...they work great nice reach controlled flow and precision watering...not to mention great reach in tough places....JUST TAKE THE TIP OFF ITS A REGULAR WATERER....I love them for $10 use those to RAISE HUMIDITY in my tubs for Boomer Asiansan's
@@TheWeedMan, Welp, got all 8 up and growing...about one inch each...3 are still kicking the seed shell off...day 2 since they all broke the surface.....looking good so far...not bad for a first time rookie...gotta get through this first week they seem to all be responding well to the coco I placed them in...nice dark green leaves....first diary will go up on Tuesday or Wednesday....that first 24 hour part is nerve wrecking
@OutForReal, training works great. I haven’t done any other plant training as I worry it may stunt growth. But with aggressive LST training I got these lovely plants 👊🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
