Week 8 shows that we are still going strong and not close to being done. We don't think we will make the "9 weeks from germination." There is zero sign of amber so we will keep pushing. Based on experience, this will be the second to last week of nutrients. She will be done by week 12 unless she surprises us. Still pleased with the grow so far. She has not grown any taller, which is good, she is just fattening up on all the sites. The smell is starting to pick up as well.
Congrats on the new baby brother. Always exciting. Shes in good hands. Good luck with this grow.
P.s: you like the rapid leds? Had my eye on them for some time now.
@Denzul, I say when the time comes, go for what your wallet can afford that gives you the best bang. Or just keep doing your thing, building your grow lights will give you more options long term to mix and match.
@NeedsMoreFans, just want them more and more as I talk to people who use them. Its between them and quantum boards next. Maybe mix of both. To bad I just built a new led so wont be for some time.
@Denzul, lol. You are welcome. The thing I would say I like about the Rapid LED light the most is that it is a perfect price point for output to watts, in my opinion. It is using nearly all the same parts as the Optic 1 line, but it's between their 54W and 100W option. The 54W option from Optic 1 is a good light that has done many people well but to me, the 75W from Rapid LED makes more sense. If you are going for super mega grows, then you know what you are looking for. The at-home medicine grower, it's hard to argue with its price point if you are in a 2x2.
I just had a look at your first journal and it's crazy comparing the progress of this plant compared to your first man! She's going to be a monster I have a feeling, just like your Bubblegum last season. Will be following along as usual.
Looks like you may have got your setup dialed in and if not, you're pretty damn close! Keep it up ๐ช
@NeedsMoreFans, I noticed that and I think you should get some major growth from not halting her progress. It happens though ๐ sometimes our ladies don't like BDSM ๐
@KCChiefers, thanks a lot man. I would agree that the setup is dialed in or damn close. You know I broke this one at the same time as the last one too. So I've learned that once I get to 5th node stop trying to pull her down if she is on the 4th week. She is responding well though so I'm not worried, if anything, it gave us some more room to open her up.
Greetings from Russia. Your plants look great! Keep developing like that! If you are interested in following the adventures of weed in Russia, subscribe to my diary
@RussianGrower, thank you. The kind words are appreciated. I have looked at one of your Bubblelicious grows when I was growing Bubblelicious as well. Things are looking good on your end as well. ๐
Would you say the Wholly Mackerel would be basically like their same product Grow Big? One thing I loved about Ocean Forest was the amount of marine byproducts fish emulsion etc. I use it in my outdoor garden for my veggies but haven't really looked much for "cannabis" nutrients beyond my Fox Farm 3 set'er. I just recently added Terpinator in the mix as I got a free sample from them.
@NeedsMoreFans, yeah I finally have my Fox Farm trio aligned and figured out without burning my plants with my additions etc. So I figured I'd throw it in the mix if after I try this sample out if I don't feel like it's a major improvement then I'll skip out on it and go back to the same old routine that has been working! Lol
@KCChiefers, It is something that we will probably look into later. Trying to limit the number of variables that get changed between grows to keep better track of the results.
@NeedsMoreFans, duh! I didn't even think to look at the NPK rating ๐ . I'm curious to see running a full cycle of the Terpinator in veg as well as I'm doing with my LSD now. It seems to have made a minor difference in the OGs so far.
