I had given up hope on this one, as it just wouldnt pop up, will it make it?
. Guess what i have a spare packet of Big Bomb Auto s , anybody interested? Big thanks to @Bombseeds
ADDED A FEW MORE PICS TODAY - SUNDAY
OK you may have noticed, I AM TRYING an LED 150 watt BESTVA ( it says 800 w equivalent but that BS as we all know) £105 - first one was faulty but it came recommended.
things will be a bit purple.....
but on the plus side it gives me interesting pictures, light is 24 hrs on...in a 80cm x 80 cm x 1.8m tent
lux reading was approx 20,000 at the top of the seedling.
distance from light approx 2 feet.
i have to say it looks pretty healthy,when its a bit bigger i can move it but until then its purple... :)
Canna Aqua Vega A+B 10 ml ( i estimate that there is approx 10 l of water in bucket ) might be more its a bit of a feel thing , basically to approx 2 inches under the netpot.
it could all go tits up, who knows, ????
Temperature is a permanent 25C
update 3 days later I CANT BELIEVE THIS?????
after looking at the pictures i thought it looked like the leaves were curling up a little so i thought the light might be too close, i took a lux reading and it was 40,000 so i moved the light up and now its 30,000
UPDATE 12 10 17
cHECK lUX EVERYDAY !!!
I HAD TO MOVE UP 2 CLICKS ON THE RATCHET TO KEEP AT 30,000
13 10 17 - friday - cant believe how well its grown - water temp is a bit high but i dont think it will matter, i might have to get a chiller, i forgot the light being on 24 hrs will heat the water :) EC is 1.1 = +0.7 of base = 350 PPM
added 1.5 ml of Mammoth microbials.
WOWOWOWOWOW -BESTVA LED ( 800w)- she is rockin, im just amazed, this LED is the nuts for little plants, im not sure what to do she is growing so well,maybe some suggestions?
.
it seems so healthy, this is literally day 22 , im happy but sad, as HPS is out for vegging from now on,this LED pulls 150watts , wow, im sure 4 of these would surpass any 600 w HPS.
.
Added some Cannaboost @10 ml total.
LUX is 30-35K @12 inches( approx)

27 10 17 = day 28 - 50 cm high, sideways growth is exceptional, a few ' Natural' pictures for me old mate BadCrabs , normal service will resume shortly 😂
she is really eating the Vega at the moment - Im switching to flower tomorrow ( sunday)
Sorry guys been so busy at work, I have forgotten what day im on, maybe some kind soul could work it out for me,anyway we have changed buckets to flower nutes,i gave the light a little rest , so here are a few pics with the light off,so far for Veg the LED is unbelievable.look for yourselves , its been on 24 hrs, its 150 watt draw from the plug.I also me a very old friend who showed me his 315 watt ceramic ,1 plant ,10 ounce monster, and gave me some moonshine, thanks ;)
and yes today it was 23 hrs 30mins on, I m actually thinking it might prefer a little rest at night now. And Bombseeds you promised it would stay under 1m .....getting bloody close. 😀
.
EC +1.1 or 550 ppm LUX is approx 70,000 top == 35,000 sides.
.
Drinking 4ml of A+B ,daily ppm drops roughly 200 ,quite remarkable but please ffs stop growing taller !!!
it will stay under 1m they said, er.....
No it wont.
150 watts ( draw) of led....(800 watts on box)
dont know what else to say really.
Update
12/11/17 bucket change adding some ooze to all the other nutrients
update
its getting too fkin large!!!!!
14/11/17
Cherry bombing like a maniac, 24 hrs sun, just a monster, I have had a conversation with the seed breeder and he has never seen anything like this before, there was even talk of it being a photo by mistake!!!!!!! but then it wouldnt of budded would it.. :)
eating water and nutrients like you wouldnt believe, if you missed it for one day it would have drastic consequences. it drank 300 ppm last night, and 4 litres of water.
.
update:21 11 17
ive had to move the light , she is nearly touching the top...
i turned the light off for 30 mins, so i took a few pics ....
WHEN WILL IT STOP GROWING ?????
I ve had to move the light to the side and i ve managed to get another one and stick it in the opposite corner, its a bossled 900 watt ( 150 draw) Dimable Cob , who knows what will happen,i just dont know what to do with it, its too late to train or cut...lol.....anyone got any suggestions, the stem on this i m going to make a cricket bat out of....at the bottom i reckon its as wide as a coke can.All i can say is obviously the mammoth and the silicon works wonders, not forgetting the Cannaboost which imo is beneficial to ANY nutrient setup, yes A N as well.... change the Nirvana for Cannaboost, thank me later.
EC is +1.1 or 550 PPM
it had a huge munch last week, and has just started to steady off a bit. I was putting upto 5ml of flores a day in diluted in 3000 ml water
but please stop growing...
she drinks like a monster, upto 3L a day.....maybe more i put a whole bucket of water in this morning thats almost well... i dont want to even say.
Update - I don't know if this is going to bud correctly , it seems to be very thin for 9 weeks 🤔
After a quick discussion I am going to switch into 18/6 light , otherwise I don't think this will ever stop growing ⚡

going to 18/6 now to try and bring the budding on....
still drinking 4+ litres of water a day but not sucking the nutrients, im having all sorts of issues with the size lol ,and i think LEDs take longer.The sheer a mount of water now means i have to keep the tank at EC 1.2 ( +0.8) or 400 ppm, as it gets too concentrated. This one has amazed me, but will it go the distance and produce some quality buds? I really fkin hope so as the smell is amazing....
Well its been a struggle, she drinks the most amount of water you ever seen, she is gettingthere and has a wonderful sweet smell, LED s take longer with bigger plants, its a fact, the interesting part will be what happens when we add a HPS for flowering, i like the LED veg, its amazing you can practically control the light to the lumen,the buds they from could be so much better with a slight HPS injection,who knows maybe some bright spark might come up with one. :)
I think ive burnt it , as EC was impossible to control, I think if i ever did this as a commercial venture, you would need the reservoir systems,I have seen a few on here, and one of them looks the nuts.probably quite expensive, but hey its worth it.
FLUSHING - looks really sticky, smells lovely,sweet,fruity Im thinking the OOZE is doing this, but it could also be LEDS.
I had a slight accident when i was flushing ,as i have to lift the roots out, but i squashed a few tops.....i think they will recover.
tops recovered, phew, luckily i wont have to change again, it still drinks like 3 litres of water every day, crazy...
it grew too big, i dont know why, i had all sorts of issues with the height and because of that it had lights on the side,I love the taste, and smell, and Indica hit.0
please note - it was 2050 grams wet, and ive pulled 165 grams dry of superb frosty buds,you have to try the OOZE people.00
I think I've fixed the data , if anyone sees anything change on here of other diaries , to something silly please let me know0
