Welcome to another update of my Viparspectra test Grow Diary
As you may remember last week I removed the largest buds from plant B because of high humidity problems I was concerned about Botrytis. Well those buds have had a weeks drying and i included some happy snaps of them in amongst the above images. They are now beginning the curing process whilst the rest of Plant B matures.
I aim to harvest Plant B within the next 7 days and will only have Plant A remaining for the rest of this Diary.
Now about Plant A - She is pumping in the nutrients and I cannot seem to please her as she always looks deficient to me. I've only added the one pic so far this week as I'm yet to do a nutrient change on her. I will be doing so either later today or some time tomorrow and i will add more photos of her then.
The Viparspectra LED is still doing it's thing and I remain happy with the way the plants are growing under it.
I really like the design and the way that the fans and Timer are all built into the unit so it's just plug and play no extra connections to timers etc. It also is dimmable from 0 to 100 in either Veg or Bloom mode making ideal for use in all stages of growth from seed to harvest. it comes with a remote control that is easy to use and the unit has a LCD display
that shows the real time plus by using the preview mode it will run thru the on & off times that you have preset aswell as the lighting levels from 0 to 100 and whether you are in veg or bloom mode.
although it wont make a lot of difference to this grow I thought I would mention my latest additions to my growing kit
I have put in a small dehumidifier and a precision humidity/dehumidity controller You can have set the RH to any where from 0-100 %rh and the controller will run the dehumidifier until the desired levels are reached Bonus with this controller is that it has two inputs one for the dehumidifier and another for a normal humidifier so you can have the perfect rh levels all thru the grow from seed to harvest Bloody marvelous 😃 I uploaded some pics of the new toys
Thankyou for taking the time to look at this weeks update Will check in again next Week until then Happy Growing 👌
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 🙏
