######## Welcome to my first grow with an LED growlight . I am using a 450w Viparspectra Timer control series and will be growing two Royal Queen seeds Royal Dwarf Autoflowering plants from seed to harvest.
I was going thru my growing seed collection and decided to give this strain another go.
Last time I grew it I raised 3 plants all of which were different in some way (phenotype) and had distinctly different leaves
There was one pheno I particuarly liked that I'm hoping will show itself again this time.
Hopefully this diary will help new growers decide if this type of LED is for you.
let the fun begin 😀
##### A brief note on my Diaries title ### I have no affiliation with viparspectra nor anybody who sells them ###
I aim to do a full diary using the product and will give my opinion on the results regardless of results , however with only one CFL grow and a few Outdoor grows under my belt my opinion should be taken as you wish. #########

Plant A in the above pics has distinct yellowing of the leaves despite correct ph range of nutrient solution any ideas of problem/solution And is the same age as her sister who is well into flower. Remembering she's an auto would putting her in 24 hours darkness make her flower?😬
I recommend lowering the nutrients a bit on her and doing a water change, if you don't do 1 regularly. Doesn't seem like 1 deficiency. Could be excess salts built up in the reservoir locking out nutrients even though PH is in range. She seems stressed and that's why she is a little slower, that and pheno of course! Do the roots look healthy? Putting her in darkness wont make her flower any faster if its good genetics. Even a photoperoid 12/12 from seed wont start showing buds until its mature enough (typically 3 weeks). Guess that's why some growers dont consider flowering stage til they see budlets. Good luck and happy growing! 💪🍀
Well looked trough the grow from start to finish she was veey well done and the buds on these girls look so good excited to follow along and see what they produce in the end .. Cheers
Hey, I guess plant A didn't catch the auto gene from its ruderalis ancestors. I reckon once B is harvested, and you switch the light cycle to 12/12 she may flower. But she'll be a tree by then! It's a shame you can't put A in to a cupboard - I'm guessing the (amazing) hydro setup won't allow you to do this. I'm going to make one of those, when I can get some money together.
@hcf2012, thanks for the compliments 😀 Unfortunately putting an Autoflower under 12-12 lighting won't make it flower. An auto should flower under any lighting schedule but was talking to a breeder and he mentioned that now and again a usually fairly stable auto strain will produce a throwback to it's added photoperiod genetics. Makes sense too when you think about it
@DILLIGAF,hey mate i had a 900watt vipar had a few grows with it. I liked it man had good results ive got a diary on here where i used it, did run a bit hot but gave me some nice bud...
Hello, thank you for testing Viparspectra grow light. We have new products in the air, do you have an interest in working with us? Contact me here: https://www.facebook.com/vipar.robin.7/ if you have interest!
Did a full water and nutrient change today and have only gone with a half strength mix this time
I think my plants sucked up a lot of water causing the ppm to rise so much thus eventually leading to nutrient lockout ??? Ph went from 5.8-6 which is nothing to worry about 🙏
