Finally invested in better lights for this grow! I got a couple of clones flowering right now under my full spectrum reflector LEDs but didn't bother creating a diary for it since they were a few weeks into veg when I got them.
Settled for a DIY COB with 6 CREE CXB3590 running 50W each @ 1.4A, passive heatsinks, and semi custom rails. Though about a quantum board but settled for the COB.
Started germinating a few seeds from MSNl. Durban Poison and Pure Power Plant was my choice this time. Durban Poison is feminized but the Pure power Plant is regular. I have separate diaries for each strain to follow.
Soaked the seeds overnight and sowed into soil. Driver for the COBs has a dimmer. During the seedling stage, this will be at its lowest setting.
Day 7 - 4 of 4 seeds sprouted. Very happy with with the 100% germination rate. 1 of the 4 is a late bloomer, hopefully she catches up. Lighting is is about 16 away from the canopy at its lowest setting. I will gradually increase intensity as we get good growth.
Were your pots really .7 gallons or did you mean 7 gallons? Those are some pretty fat buds! I have some MSNL GSC autos coming. Will use 5s outdoors since there's time before Fall.
Looking forward to see what you get for weight off three plants and 300w led-cob. I'm doing 5 Durbs under one 450w led, so things are going to have to be managed well to get the most. I really like how your plants look underneath during late veg, super green and well manicured and the plants obviously loved it. I'm going to be using your journal as a reference for my girls, so thanks for your time to do all the posting.
@vancitybuzz, check back in a week, should be all dried up by then. feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I hope my diary will provide some guidance with your grow. Thank you and happy growing 🙏
Your girls look absolutely beautiful. Do you have plans to top and train them? Judging from your scrog it seems like you have some fun in store for these girls.
@DabCrab, Thanks! Yes. They should be topped by my next update. It'll be my first scrog but I think I gathered enough information on how to do it properly. Wish me luck! 😂
I am so grateful I found this website, and your journal. You have my vote for GOTM. I just started growing Durban Poison myself and seeing the absolutely stunning plants you have raised, I am even more ecstatic to grow! My little seedlings are not quite yet popping through the surface yet! Perhaps the next day or two I suppose. Thanks so much for posting your progress for us new guys to see =)
@vancitybuzz, Welcome to Grow Diaries! Thanks, I'm very proud of my latest grow. Finally chopped them down and started to dry. Good luck with your grow! I will be keeping an eye on it 😉
Damn amazing grow SnS, looks mint. I'll def put my vote on this grow for DoM. Loving the PVC DIY 👍🏻.
For your COBs what wattage/spectrum are those ? And what did it cost to make the light setup ?
Keep up the sweet pictures. Your flowers look amazing as does everything in this grow ✌️
@JusGrowIt88, thanks! 🙏 6 COBs 3500K, actual power draw is a little over 300W. I spent about $500 on this setup. Thanks again, and I'm glad you like my diary!
Hey man your plants looks awesome! Nice and healthy. I figured you would have stayed in veg for a few more weeks to grow into the scrog before flipping. But either way I think it's going to turn out great just spread them out as they stretch and you should have a nice thick canopy there you're lighting structure kicks ass too bud great job keep it up
@Bigpun, The original plan was to fill up the screen before the switch but I was too worried about the stretch since its a sativa. Seems like the ladies are loving the new light setup. Thanks for the input! 👊
