Start date 14/10/18 Second grow. I ditched the grow tent, lined the walls with reflective material. the tent was just too tight for much LST and I always wanted to try the Scrog out. I´ve read alot that its best not to mess with autos but I think its going to go well!!
Watered with 250ml the 3rd day then with 500ml on the 7th day
Whats up grow Fam!!! I have a LED lighting question. at what distance should a, 23 watt (real wattage) 48 diodes each of 730 nm (IR), 3000K white light and 2100K white light, be kept from the plants? Im looking to purchase 2 of these bar lights (veg/bloom) for supplemental light.
So typically all manufacturers will have a recommended distance for their lights for each stage. Unfortunately not all leds are the sam regardless of the specifics. However i believe a good safe zone in general for LEDs with seedlings like yours is around 20-24 inches. I dont think you ever want them over the 30s unless its unbelievably powerful. Then as your plant gets a bit older youll be able to move the light down, 18inches, 15inches, but always do a hand check and place it right at the canopy and see if your hand can tolerate 30 seconds without being too hot.
Good luck with your little ladies. Happy vegging ✌️
5/11 watered with 3 of the biobizz organics at only a half rashtion
Dropped the Scrog 7in from medium hoping the early LTS will give me many branches to scrog
8/11 plain water 1.5L
Maybe had the light a little too close, moved to about 40cm above canopy to encourage vertical growth.
Some yellowing in lower leaves. probably due to nutrient dif. gonna go 100% with the nutrients from here on out.
Day 28 switched from MH to HPS
14/11 watered 1l (3) full feeding
Going strong! Entering week ten and still looking green, a few red hairs starting to show.
probably going to give at least 2 more feedings before flushing.
Any suggestions?
Just a few weeks from harvest and have some friends telling me to harvest and dry with the roots attached. Can't find any info on this. Anybody have experience with drying the whole plant roots included? Their idea is to wash the soil off the roots then hang them upside.
Hi @Potagonia! Yes you can keep the rootzone while drying the whole plant upside-down, this will result in a longer drying process and is supposed to increase the amount of cannabinoids in the buds. I've tried this last year and did not notice any kind of improvement, despite the longer drying process. However, it's stil a good idea to keep the roots, because roots are valuable if you know what to do with it. Indeed, you can use roots to create your own medicine: lip balm, skin cream, anti inflammatory, pain relief paste...So don't throw out your roots unless you really don't know what to do with it. A basic usage is to boil stems & roots for a great canna-infused tea. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date, and enjoy your harvest! 👊
End of week 11. Waiting for them to cloud up a bit more then 2 days of darkness before they hang! For my second grow, I could not be happier. BBW Big Beautiful Weed hahaha
