OK, have grown outdoor, fair result. Grown using hydro indoors, but was in colder climate, fair result. Now in ideal location (temp/Humidity etc). Have 3 x 10 litre buckets, each with potting mix and a single seed, as described. The plan is 1 litre nutrient mix (2 part Rock formula) @ 5ml/l each. I also have some bud booster, will have to find the bottle. Will share pics of all nutrients soon. Got to clean up the grow tent, dust the ViparSpectra, get some new bottles for my CO2 plant. Was very happy with the output using yeast and sugar. Better yield than I was getting using bi-carb. No more pump or air line needed (YAY). If anyone can provide advice on watering amounts each plant will draw per day, as I may setup a solar pump to trickle, but not sure just yet. Planning on FIMing or topping. I am no expert, so a binge watch of YouTube coming up. Photos when we get some plants up ๐Ÿ™ƒ For those interested, straight from the MSNL website. Making sure these were the ones I planted, they are :-) Northern Lights Feminized Has a high flower to leaf ratio. Northern Lights won Indica cups in 88, 89 and 90 and is one of the most acclaimed strains of all time. Northern Lights Feminized is highly recommended for indoor growing. Tasting Notes Northern Lights Feminized Marijuana Seeds is one of the least pungent strains to grow when in vegetation and flowering. It is a great choice for guerilla grows. The lack of pungent aroma when growing belies a very rich, classic skunky smell and taste when it is smoked. The initial earthy aroma is replaced by a more floral, pine scent on the exhale which an enjoyable experience. The resulting effects of Northern Lights are very well balanced and quite strong without being very intense. An even head stone and body buzz are well tempered with enough mental activity to mean that this is a great evening smoke after a meal or if you still want to stay active enough to watch a movie or play video games. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bubblegum Feminized It is an F1 hybrid and has a taste truly resembling Bubblegum. Aroma is sweet, so is the taste. Stoned Indica high. Bubblegum seeds are one of our most popular strains. Bubble gum feminized looks to be a winner. Tasting Notes Truly living up to its name, this strain has a very sweet scent when cured correctly. The distinctive bubblegum taste is immediately apparent but it also has that slightly sour hint in the background that cuts through the sweeter taste well, giving greater depth to the flavour. A very deep calming stone sets in almost immediately. Long lasting but not too couch-locky this is a very good choice for chilling out without the need to expend too much energy or thought. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Big Bud Feminized The purpose behind creating Big Bud was to produce a plant with maximum yields. Big Bud has a subtle Skunk taste with a long lasting high. Big Bud feminized has been further stabilized to improve consistency and yield. Tasting Notes Subtle Skunk taste with musky undertones. Earthy aroma that is faintly reminiscent of wild mushrooms and the forest floor in fall. The taste develops into a slightly sweeter more lime citrus flavour after repeated use. Not an incredibly strong weed, it will still pack a pleasing punch without totally giving you the KO. Well, 6 days, two little ladies are up. Very tall looking to start with. This will be fun. We have Big Bud and Bubblegum up and at em, Northern Lights hopefully up tomorrow. Watering dropped to every 2 days, until we got babies. Must get plant saucers on Wednesday. Lights on 6am - 6pm (the solar will cover it in spades). Come on #3, letโ€™s make it a hat-trick and grow some weed.

Quick question. How much should the girls be drinking each day (week 6 onward). Currently the girls enjoy a litre per day (nutrient mix). First time in potting mix (was using hydro, but water here is tragic. I don't want them to get terminal wet feet though.

You are feeding every day? I'm surprised you haven't had any nute burn yet, but in my experience, vegetative plants are super durable and can absorb more nutes than when in flower. You are not in flower yet, so that may be why. I have no experience in plastic pots, but is that frequency because your higher temps are drying out soil faster?) If not, it may mean you will eventually water log those plants. I use fabric pots, but the 2 knuckle approach with your finger in the soil, should tell you when to water. Should be cool, but not damp.

I have ordered the VipaSpectra Pro 1000W. My tent is I think 3x3 maybe a bit more? I have the 3 girls (4 next grow) Thoughts on using P1000 with the existing ViparSpectra 600W together, for flowering?

"cant hurt i use 2 1200w and 1 600w in a 3x3 with no problems and i get nice tight buds.".. Technically speaking this should be way overkill and should be burning plants. But most likely underpowered and cheap leds so that's why he gets away with three lights. I'd never recommend putting 3000w of "rated" power in a tent that small. As for your situation it's always worth an attempt.. they will tell you pretty quickly if it's too much light. Only a day or so is all it takes and you will see burning where the two lights meet and it's most intense.

So, growing in soil, I have those pesky little fly things. Is there a spray that is safe to use?

Not sure about sprays but them sticky pads work well, just stick them on top of your soil or hang em in your tent

OK, my grow tent is 4ftx4ftx7ft. I have been veg with 600W ViparSpectra. I have now go t my new P1000 ViparSpectra 1000W. With both running, and 3 plants, growing in soil, what sort of yield can I expect? The YOR calculator is only setup for HPS/MH.

Yes I'd say 30-80 is a Fair assessment. But like 3 plants between 90-240 is a huge variance but there are just too many variables to really "accurately gauge" what your gonna yield.

Alright, now I need some advice. As you can see, the big girls are looking great. I switched them to flower 2 weeks ago. Should I give them another trim (lower and shade leaves?) I am looking under these shade leaves and there are a lot of Bud sites. Cheers

Hey fluffy, Great growth in the last week. I'd definitely get in there with another clean up of the bottoms. All 3 plants have such nice full canopies that I'm sure they'll block a fair amount of light from the bottom. It's hard to cut away all those bud sites but you're at the best time in the grow to redirect that energy into those topmost buds. I usually go through my first lollipop and always end up realizing I should take away a bit more. Happy flowering.โœŒ๏ธ

@@HiddenColorado, damn. Couldnโ€™t find the manual, asked ViparSpectra for a PDF, no problem, then I found the bloody thing. But they do actually mention doing just that in the manual. They are very vague, but an interesting idea. My next grow, I may just try this. Thanks HC ๐Ÿ‘

@@HiddenColorado,all of the original blurple leds only had on of switches lol and these are same led same drivers ect so why would you only use a part of the light I've had some absolutely fantastic results und these style led I dont actually see why the even bothered putting a separate switch other than mabe using just the flower side in the last week just to finish ripening
