I'd like to say a big hello to all and thanks for taking a look at my first grow! all feedback is appreciated and I am happy to experience growing this plant even if I do not succeed this time. Apologies for the bad picture quality, I will improve this!
without further ado lets give this Dwarf a happy life!
Pre soaked the canna pro plus coco with plant start at 2ml/1ltr No activity from the plant in the first three days. using a big baggie as a humidity dome which has helped keep humidity high for the 🌱
Noticed on day 5 that the root has made its way through the soil bigtime and was desperately reaching for the light... immediately placed under the phlizon 3000w (630w true power draw) COB LED using only the LED supplemental lights (270w)and started a 2ml/ltr dose of plant start
Day 6 -
Plant has started to recover from being in the dark too long, starting rhizotonic today also at 2ml/l alongside 2ml/l vitalink plantstart. Regularly misting the humidity dome to keep humidity as near 70% as possible (sometimes with rhizotonic spray) Temperature is between 23c and 27c throughout the day.
Day 7 -
Nothing much to report other than healthy looking seedling, I've been alternating between the COB (330w) and LED (270w) lights throughout the day, have not to wanted to put them both on together incase I fry her :D
Tomorrow I'm starting my week 2 and im seriously considering transplanting to my final pot (smart pot) which is a 5gallon/19liter pot... (will seek advice below) and switching from 2ml/ltr vitalink plantstart 2ml rhizotonic schedule to canna A +B 2ml/ltr canna rhizotonic 2ml/ltr.
started off in a 1ltr pot, I want to transplant into a bigger container but the only ones I have are 5gallon/19liter smart pots. I'm only growing this auto flower for medical use and I'm happy to use the 5gallon pot. Anyone think this is a bad idea? Is it too big? Thanks!
U size your pot to size auto. For instance breeder says auto grows 70 to 100 cm then u would use a 3 gal. Now getting to transplanting autos is a no no. Autos have a set schedule that does not involve recovering from transplant shock. You will cut into yields. It's better to start your autos in there final container. But since u already began in another container go ahead and transplant cuz 1l is to small. Just be extra cautious and limit her stress when doing so
Hi! Thanks for checking out my Royal Dwarf grow!
Please comment on how healthy you think the plant is or any thoughts.
In less than 2 weeks I have learned so much from you guys and i want to make a point of thanking you as this medicine allows me to live what I would consider a normal day to day life! :)
So... Beginning week 2 and from the first few pictures and videos I think the plant is getting healthier, Getting a ph meter this week also, will probably resolve any issues I think I'm having.
Day 7/8
I was going to switch from the Vitalink Plantstart + Canna Rhizotonic schedule to Canna A, B, Rhizotonic and Cannazym. I have not gotten around to doing so yet as I think I've been overwatering the plant. stopped watering and started using the spray bottle to keep the moisture up. will water with the new nutrients once the plant has dried out a bit.
Day 9:
Transplanted from a 1L to a 19L/5Gallon, the top half of the 1L container was dry and had what looks like well developed roots and the bottom half was wet and the roots were hanging out when transplanting. I definitely should have let it dry out more.
Day 10: Rhino pro 200/600 Carbon filter arrived and it's the 1100cfm/overpowered version as I read it was better to get a filter with a better CFM rating than what your fan can move. The fan is an Isomax 900cfm or is it m3/hr ?
I added a short video after the pics so you can get a fairly good view of the setup.
I got 5m acoustic ducting and connected it up as best I could with the space I had. I Was covered in rock wool, didn't have wire cutters and had to go buy some to finish the job 😅. Talk about a nightmare!
I left 1mtr spare ducting for the intake fan in future grows.
I think it's worth mentioning that the 6 fans on the back of my grow light are louder than the filter/ducting/fan/ducting (in order).
Noise level of light and fan combo is between a really expensive/good quality bedroom fan and a hairdryer as a comparison.
As I don't have my intake fan yet Im using passive intake and my fan has a 3 speed controller so I have it on speed 1 and there is negative pressure.
Finally i mixed up the canna nutrients and changed ph from 7 to 6, I'm not sure what's ideal for autos but I read that anywhere between 5.8 and 6.3 is good for autos? Let me know!
Day 11 (update)
As I have now realised how to edit my weeks in the diary I will start doing so!
Read that a fluctuating PH is good between 5.5-6.5 so I'm gonna stay at ph 6 and let it do its thing.
The plant seems to like this a lot more than ph7 although it is still stressed from transplanting (1ltr-19ltr) it's still growing new leaves but growth appears slower.
Finally after a few cold showers I have recovered from being covered in rock wool! (thank god😂) also I started a RQS Quick One as a backup for the dwarf and RQS Fast Eddy as Im eager to see if medical marijuana has a better effect on my depression, anxiety and sleep problems than regular high thc low cbd strains. Check out my profile (JuicyFruit) to see my diaries for these strains!
Day 13-
my dwarf still seems stressed from the transplant, its growing some new leaves slowly but is still drooping from transplant. gonna be a dwarf-dwarf by the sounds of it! 😆 and i was doing some research on optimal hang heights for my Phlizon "3000w" COB LED, it seems that 40 inches is good to start from.
i also read another users opinion that the switch on the fixture labelled VEG&BLOOM is mixed up with the other switch that is labelled STRONGER.
The VEG&BLOOM switch is LEDs along with IR. (i read that the IR is probably further stressing my transplanted dwarf) and the STRONGER switch is COBs.
i took a minute to think about this but after realizing that the plants can probably handle the COBs (STRONGER) at the right distance i may aswell use them for veg and switch the LEDs and the COBs on 1 or 2 weeks before flowering for full flower power!
after reading all that i went straight over and switched the LEDs off and put the COBs on. il post pictures in the morning to show how the plants reacted.
fingers crossed people!
Please comment on anything you think i could improve on or any advice to help this plant grow better as it is much appreciated!
Peace!
Day 13 Update:
took some photos and it likes the COBs, although they are very hot combined with a sunny day reaching high temps of 29c. turned the fan up and opened another passive intake on the tent. finally im going to get some calmag and a oscillating fan for the leaves and hot spots in tent :)
Royal Dwarf Week 3:
Day 14:
Took a few pictures to show the progress from last week.
it seems really slow and stunted, im not surprised either because the transplant 7 days ago must have stressed theplant bigtime!
also ive been using either the switch for COBs or the switch for VEG/BLOOM LEDs, when is it safe for the plant to run both of these switches at once for better light spread?
do i need calmag if im using tapwater?
and is tapwater fine to use for a first grow? ive heard about RO water systems and using bottled water. i probably wont invest in an RO water system until future grows but if there is any advantage to using bottled water then i will. let me know below in the comments.
Day 15:
posted a few pictures for all 3 of my diaries as my Quick One is almost overtaking the dwarf. the leaves on the Dwarf look a bit green/yellow, are still drooping 8 days after transplant. there is a white mark on the leaf which i think could be light intensity + a water droplet on the leaf, spraying around and underneath the plants to avoid getting water on the leaves. Im leaving for barcelona in a couple of days and i cant wait to get medicated!
Day 18:
Posted my last picture before my weed holiday :'D nice to showcase the kids in their unnatural habitat 😂 its been an experience these last few months, hoarding online knowledge, review after review of "best" LED grow light and setting up a tent with no shirt on! that was fun! its funny that my first plant was a weed plant also something to tell the grandkids lol.
I always wanted to start my own seed company or something of the sort... guess im one step closer now haha. anyways just a bit of shit talk while i cant sleep. happy growing to all and i will update you guys in 8 days! fingers crossed :)
thanks for looking at my grow and take a look at the quick one and fast eddy if you get a chance.
yooo guys Im back from barcelona now, had an amazing time, went to the zoo, got nice food. enjoyed medicated walks in the sun which really helped with mental health. we got into a few really good clubs which had a great selection of edibles, flower, hash, bho and iceolator hash.
highlights were iceolator hash which gave such a strong head high! Perfect Tree Tropicanna Cookies which was 99.9 if not 100% dark purple, and it was so sweet and strong! also Perfect Tree Mimosa and Melonade had some nice purple and very unique flavours.
WEEK 4
so ending week 3/starting week 4 the dwarf has not got much wider but looks like a plant now. leaves are definitely growing and maybe slightly burnt at the tips? doesnt look bad so im going to let it do its thing!
added some photos to show progress, if any lol, hopefully i get 1-2g of fire skunk off this plant :) hahaha
Start of week 5
Day 35:
I cut back to just canna A and B nutrients and i think its starting to flower :)
growth is visible again so it must be stretching for flowering :) cant wait to try the dwarfdwarf skunk lol
Day 40:
sorry that i havent been keeping a day to day diary. ive realised that there isnt enough progress day by day to comment on. it would be great to get some nice cameras set up to see the grow progress :) other than that i LSTd the dwarf tonight to get more light on lower growth. especially since the plant is like 10cm/4inch tall.
hoping for 2 grams or so off this plant! my buddy reckons il get 3.5g so heres hoping :)
Has anyone used the Phlizon COB LED 3000W (629W) ? the company states to keep LED lights on at 30-40 inch. and only to use COBS in heavy veg/flowering when the plant is strong. does it make sense to use both COBs and LEDs for full cycle? and at what hang height
Yes you get more wider fuller spectrum your plant can absorbed when you use both LEDs and cobs. As for the height I recommend starting at there height 40 inches for seedlings 36 for veg and 30 for flower. But if you have a strain that just loves ton of light you can probably drop another 2 to 4 inches.
Start of week 6
Day 42:
lots of white pistils appearing now. with this being an experiment to see if i could sprout a seed as i have never grown a plant before it is going really well! tried a light LST to try and salvage the harvest a tad. the Dwarf is also stretching alot more now due to flowering. after applying LST im hoping for between 2-4g of buds :).
Thanks for checking out my diary! my other plants are doing much better and id appreciate it if you check them out too!
Happy growing people!
Day 46: 23/10/19
Posted a video showing the flowers and trichomes :) did the same for my other two diaries and im really excited for the rest of the flowering phase.
Still need to invest in an oscillating fan to blow fresh air around the leaves, A 1m2 runoff tray (currently have 2 small ones and they irritate me) more rope rachets for adjustable height as i found out my light can go as low as 60cm ( i used 100cm). using a box to raise height as a temporary solution and an intake fan to bring the cold air in easier :) plants still dont have a strong smell so i really didnt need to purchase a carbon filter until now. still it makes sense to be prepared! :)
This week ive been spraying a layer of Rhizotonic/water (1ml/1L)on the top of the coco twice a day to keep it from drying out, reduce plant stress and help the roots continue to grow :) the stems are huge!
Ive also been feeding on monday, wednesday and trying to flush on fridays. i think Canna A+B will be enough for this grow, il probably get some bud boosters next grow if they arent necessary :)
Keep on growing folks and check out my other diaries if you get a chance!
dwarf is flowering nicely,
was laying in the tent today listening to funky music and smoking :D couldnt get too many pictures because of bad lighting but took a nice little video of the trichomes :) started giving more nutrients as a friend told me flowering plants take up more water and phosphorus to produce buds :) gonna be like a kid on christmas day when i get my medicine harvested :D
thanks for keeping up with the diary and the best of luck to you all!
Day 52 - 29/10/19
Flushed the dwarf today along with my other plants, runoff had a ppm of 467 and ph 6.45. im going to try and get it closer to 6. with this plant being sprouting test ive come a long way and learned a lot :) its gonna be a small harvest, and is developing buds at a much smaller rate than the other two plants :) still im very excited. maybe week 10-11 harvest if im lucky haha.
Day 53 - 30//10/19
Couldnt sleep at all as i have no buds left, after being restless in bed for 4 hours i got up and removed about 6-8 pistils from lower growth and rolled it up. almost the same quality high as street weed so im impressed :) taste was slightly harsh but man. finally happy to be on the road to good quality medicine:) il upsate soon with pictures of the plant!
Day 54 - 31/10/19
Pictures and videos updated for all three of my diaries. im entirely happy with my hobby :) my Royal Dwarf is just flowering away on her own time, dont think theres long left for her now, maybe 3 weeks? check the videos and let me know what you think below in the comments!
im not expecting this plant to grow any taller just to finish the buds for a nice little harvest :) finally shes developed enough to provide a smell and its much like a tropical fruit, something like a mango but i couldnt quite put my finger on it :) i love fruity smoke so roll on the last few weeks of flowering :) (i hope)
getting very close to harvest now. i think this diary showcases exactly what can happen to the inexperienced, careless and unlucky growers out there. im not even sure i could call it a transplant survivor its that small ahah. but yeah day 56 almost there! im gonna check the website to see harvest estimates but another 2 weeks and we should be done :). i cant even say that ive been adjusting much for this grow, ever since i stunted it hard ive just been feeding it the same as my other diaries (slightly less water per feed) and it isnt getting burnt by nutes, it just keeps flowering at its own slow pace. ive smoked the lowest pistils and flowers, leaving about 70% of the plant intact and growing :) and it has definitely got me almost more stoned than the street weed at home, its insane that a undeveloped plant is stronger than whats going around. bearing in mind its damp, not tasty and slightly harsh compared to the street stuff.
Check out these videos and happy growing folks! keep an eye out for harvest ;)
What should i get to look at the pistils and trichomes? a magnifying glass of sorts? and does anyone wanna guess how long this stunted plant will take until ready for harvest? :) thanks!
Hello JuicyFruit, i can see what your problems are,
if your ph from your feeding is around 6 its way too high at this stage.
I strongly recommend to lower it to 5.8 or 5.7
I think she will bounce back up get bigger buds and also get greener again where the leaves are yellow.
Also to answer your question, there are more than one aspects to look at when your close to harvest.
But to my opinion its best to look at the trichomes, when most of them (around 90%) are cloudy than your ready for harvest.
Do NOT let them turn amber, it will give a more narcotic effect, less taste and a harsh feeling in your troath when smoked,
You can check your trichomes out with a magnifier x40 and above for a good peek.
Hope this was an helpfull answer. Keep on growing my friend. Peace 👍
dried the top off this plant after cutting it and it was a nice little buzz, decided to leave the rest to finish flowering :) mango and floral smells coming from this plant. need tograb myself a jewelers loupe as soon as possible, until then does anyone have any suggestions as to when to harvest this, its quite sticky but i think it could need another few weeks.
Day 65 - 11/11/19
Flushed the plant with Phed tap water at 140ppm. used 3.2 liters to achieve runoff. ive decided to harvest this plant next week. considering it was an experiment to see if i could sprout a seed and went through its many issues along with average conditions im glad to get any harvest off this plant. its very sticky, smelly although the buds are small.
Im going to trim the plant and then dry it by hanging them in a box and placing the box in the tent near the intake for fresh air.
any suggestions please comment below. id say il learn a thing or two while harvesting :)
Day 67 - 13/11/19
Decided to take the main cola from this plant today. its got stunted throughout the grow as this was the first plant i have ever germinated and grown :)
I will upload some pictures!
Il leave the lower parts of the plant to fatten up in the next days as they dont look matured enough yet. exciting harvest times haha.
After harvesting the top:
smoked a few of the pods that grow pistils out of them in a bong and it hit me nicely :) added some pictures of a few small buds and i was impressed. loads of trichomes all over! for a rough first try i think this turned out good. will harvest the rest of the plant in about 10 days when my pruning shears get here :) (used scissors this time :D)
Someone told me to watch out for harvesting these plants at different times. i didnt pay enough attention and now the drying process is slightly awkward. i cut a cereal box to allow fresh air in and hot air out the top and to minimize light degrading thc on the buds while drying. i spread the buds and trim out and left it near the passive intake on my tent. will probably be 3-5 days to dry. cant wait to sample the dry buds!
and ive seen people online saying the Rhino Pro filters were garbage but i havent had one single issue, mine blocks all smells just incase anyone was thinking on buying one. i got a size larger than i needed as i have heard is more effective :)
Day 68 - 14/11/19
i have been drying a few buds for 18 hours in the tent now and decided to test them. a nice head high. wasnt quite matured enough yet and wasnt fully dried or even cured but very nice :) cant wait to harvest fully in a few days time!
Harvest is here!
Its my first grow so i have no idea what to expect :)
The buds give a nice little head high/feel good/dizzy/euphoric.
The smell is between mango and a vegging weed plant.
I will not know the true potential until dried and cured. I ran into many problems mostly due to my inexperience hence the small yield. this was an early harvest so its nothing special although its nice to finally have some medicine around. i cant say if its a day/night smoke yet, seems more like an afternoon smoke.
Update - Ive been drying for almost 48 hours. smoked the buds in a bong as they were not fully dried but did give a nice head high, would be great for creativeness, listening to music, and feeling a little dizzy. i will definitely grow this again in the future to compare results!
Day 69 - 15/11/19
Were finally here at harvest and im happy with the result :) i planned as much as i could and winged the rest :)
I collected lots of small, early harvest buds and left them to dry. kept a small bit for bongs and put all the really sticky trim in the freezer! gonna make cannabutter with it next week :)
I liked the strains i chose from RQS, they took every newbie mistake i threw at them :D ive learned so much and it shows in my other diaries :)
Il update this harvest a couple of times through this last week to show the effects of drying and curing, other than that thanks to all for helping and check out my other diaries to see how ive progressed :)
Update - 18/11/19
I dried the buds for a couple of days and wow they dry well :) smoked them in a bong and it got me over a rough few days.
I didnt see the point in curing this as i only got a couple grams. and to even get a couple of grams off a plant that had such a bad transplant just shows how resistant they are.
I loved this strain, the smell was funky and it was a joy to grow. Thank you RQS!
Re: "tap water", it depends on what you mean. Are you in the city, with chlorine in the water? If so, then you should at least be letting the chlorine evaporate. Are you in a rural area with a well, like me? If so, is your water soft or hard? If it's hard, are you using a softener? If you are using a softener like me, then you are adding bad salts for plants into the tap water. Sometimes I add 15ml of well water into a gallon jug of distilled water to kick in some random nutrients, but if I base my entire watering schedule off it, my plants will die. I'm about to build a still to distill my own water, as I've been paying $1.88 per gallon jug, needing 5 jugs a week. The final piece, a teapot, is literally coming on the slowboat from China... as soon as it gets here I'm going to finish the still and post a pic in one of my diaries. Total cost is about $40... and yeah it adds something else manual to the process, but doesn't take much to boil water in a 1/2 gallon teapot...
Re: lighting, I just use full spectrum at all times. The plant will use whatever light it needs and ignore the rest from my experience. 30 years ago I even grew and flowered a plant using nothing but a 2-foot long fluorescent tube. There may be some who argue you can get advantages by using certain light at certain times, but it's definitely not necessary, it's something you can experiment with later on after you grow some plants successfully. Just blast full spectrum on them! If you think about it, the sun is the same colour in the sky in autumn as it is in summer... maybe there's some slight shifts due to the changing angle of sunlight cutting through the atmosphere, but it's still the same star emitting the same stuff.
Remember the K.I.S.S. principle in life, which stands for "Keep It Simple, Stupid!" ... the more complicated you try to get, the more variables you have, the more problems you open yourself up to especially without the experience to back it up and fix if things go wrong. In all things, not just farming! :)
@Jwjoh, yeah its cool man, any advice is appreciated! and besides i was starting to get worried with no one commenting for this long lol.
im going to barcelona in less than a week and il be leaving someone on watering duty until im back! gonna get properly medicated out there and visit an RQS seed store for a laugh hahah. il probs get an RO water system and calmag when i get back from my holiday.
Ive got my light hanging at 41 inches and had both switches on for a total of 600w. optimal hang heights have been bothering me as this light is intense, 2500 umols at 18inch directly under... i dont think i can put it below 36 inch tbh lol. Fast eddy definitely likes it and so do the other 2 but even though im running an 8inch can isomax fan at 900m3/hr the passive intake is struggling, temps are reaching 29c max in the tent. (usually 25c max with only LED or COB switched on)
on the plus side it heats the house up nicely!
i think i need the 6inch 600m3/hr isomax for intake or at least an oscillating fan for inside the tent to deal with hotspots.
and yeah now that you mentioned it i think i will grow a photoperiod next time as i was taking a look at sweet zkittlez from RQS, anything with grape and im hooked! 🍇
@JuicyFruit, also starting with 3 autoflowering strains is probably not a great idea in all honesty! I picked photoperiod strains because you can take the time to care for them and figure it out. With autoflowering strains, you have (more or less) a set period of time. If you cause your plants any kind of stress, even just transplanting them or trimming a couple fan leaves -- you can stunt their growth and severely reduce or even completely ruin your yield.
I'm growing 8 Ball Kush feminized right now as my first grow in decades, which I picked not only because it's my favourite to smoke, but also because it's super easy to grow. It bounces back from everything and is pest resistant, mildew/mold resistant, and other awesome genetics. Going to try Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) feminized next, GSC is apparently extremely easy to grow too. Then your plant flowers when you want it to, instead of racing for the finish line!
Also, growing 3 autoflowering strains together, they will likely start and finish flowering at different times. So be ready for that.
If your current ones fail, buy a pack of 8 Ball Kush Feminized and grow a couple of those. It's like ultra easy mode (as long as you're paying attention and trying).
@JuicyFruit, for one thing, I'm new (again) myself. I grew a few plants decades ago but once I reached the age where I'd get in serious trouble, I decided to stop :P I can give my opinion but just keep in mind I'm no master grower at this point. Just a patient older guy who has grown lots of random stuff over my lifetime.
I'm not 100% sure about your water. I think 140ppm would be an acceptable starting point in a typical scenario, HOWEVER because of the chlorine, I'd definitely use bottled Distilled Water (I've read about how chlorine stunts growth, but I have no personal experience with chlorine in water). RO water can contain up to 50ppm. Fresh mountain spring water and carbon filtration are around 50 to 140ppm. Distilled water is close to 0ppm if done right, sometimes there might be a tiny amount of trace elements in it from the equipment it condenses through. Not really sure of the factory process for distilling water. I like it because you start with a blank slate and know EXACTLY what your plants get! Plus there's no bacteria or mold spores etc in it (it's all been boiled and condensed!).
One thing to note... For a growing seedling, you might want to keep the light up a little higher -- but if you look up your LED grow lights, you can probably get a PAR chart. You want to place established plants somewhere near that PAR sweet spot. My PAR sweet spot on my 300W LEDs is about 24 inches. Once the plants got really mature they didn't much care any more. I think you have your lighting a bit too far away but of course only you can know that for sure.
One more thing about your lighting. I heard that roots grow faster in the dark. I experimented with this with my first and only clones. When left on 24 hours a day they struggled to root and get going. But when I dropped back to 18 they rooted faster. Even now I experiment with the clones as I'm growing them under a desk lamp for now (LOL). If I trim off some leaves or transplant them and leave the light on, they struggle to recover. But if I do the 18/6 schedule I do with my main plants, they tend to bounce back quicker. I actually want them to grow slower on purpose while the moms are flowering, which has also made for some nice experiments :)
I don't know what your other nutrients have in them, but it can't hurt to give them a recommended dose of calmag.
Do what you do, and remember I'm pretty much a noob too... But if I were you, I'd primarily focus on getting the light in the PAR sweet spot or maybe a few inches above it... Give it 6 hours of uninterrupted darkness every day to sleep/recover/grow roots... And use distilled water to ditch the chlorine until you find a cheaper solution. (pun intended haha)
The "Quick One" grow looks more on target for where you should be at the end of week 1! Fast Eddy looks to be struggling. Every strain is different in grow difficulty. It could even be that "Quick One" is unphased by chlorine. Maybe "Fast Eddy" absolutely hates chlorine. Could be too far away from the light. Not only is every strain different, but each individual plant has its own quirks and personality. Don't be afraid to change up some variables, just do it one at a time. They will react quickly. At this point there's no harm in trying, it's not like you have a massive crop to lose right now. You can always start over with the lessons you learned if need be!!
And remember, as Adam Savage of the Mythbusters once said: The only difference between screwing around and science, is writing it down.
Hey there congratulations on your first grow! That's always exciting. Do you have any interest in joining newbie of the month? It can be a fun way to build up your seed arsenal etc. I hope you don't mind I give you one small tip.. photos are so important in the diaries, and if you're able to give the plants some white type light vs the red/purple when you take your photos it makes your diary all the more enjoyable and valuable. I noticed when I use my flash in the red light it usually can pick up a bit of the green of the plant. But lately I've tried to take my plants out or turn off the purple light when i take pics. ✌️ good luck with the grow.
@Experimentgreen, hey dude, could you take another look at my dwarf to see if its looking okay :) i also started a Quick One and a Fast Eddy it would be so cool if you could take a look at those. thanks again appreciate it!
@Experimentgreen, yeah Im interested in taking part man :) sign me up haha. would be nice to have something showcased after putting the effort into it, thanks for the help also! I transplanted to the dwarf to the 5gallon and started another seed just incase... the top half of the conntainer during transplanting seemed to have roots well developed. The bottom half was still wet and roots we're hanging out of the bottom of the container once the wet coco broke away. Should have let it dry out more before transplanting but I'm happy to learn new things even if it's through a mistake :). Again thanks for your help man it's much appreciated!
@JuicyFruit, every month grow diaries does a variety of competitions...like right now they're doing a logo design comp. And newbie/diary of the month are basically the top ten best diaries for each month. There's usually always seeds in the booty but sometimes it's gear or nutrients etc.. but really it's just fun little games for everyone to show off their stuff that their proud of.😊
@Doktorholland, I made a few newbie mistakes but im happy ive gotten this far, im going to put what i learned this time into my newest diary :) im constantly trying to make conditions more optimal too so through time i hope to get better at growing :) thanks for your advice tho, il try for a bigger height next time
Yes you get more wider fuller spectrum your plant can absorbed when you use both LEDs and cobs. As for the height I recommend starting at there height 40 inches for seedlings 36 for veg and 30 for flower. But if you have a strain that just loves ton of light you can probably drop another 2 to 4 inches.
@DankGardener, I started at 40 inches so il just let the plants grow up into the light a bit more. thanks for your advice! hoping to get a few nice buds off this plant :)
