Hey guys first diary here but definitely not my first grow. I’ve grown LSD-25 last year and really enjoyed it. I’ve learnt a ton sense then so figured why not try to push myself and this strain to get a bumper crop of awesome smoking/smelling/purple buds.
Plants started off inside a humidity dome with a heat mat underneath under a T5HO fluorescent.I was able to control the environment pretty much to a tee. Even though I am doing a coco run I used no nutes the first week and they were just fine.
Hello again guys, this week was straight forward at around day 12 there roots were making there way to the solo cup and they out grew there dome so it was time to re-home them to new pots and a new room! They were transplanted into 3G pots with more of my 2part canna coco to 1part pearlier mix. I started them on some really light nutes and put them under a 315cmh using the Phillips veg bulb.
Alright finally real growth starts to begin! There a few nodes up and the leafs are getting bigger so I upped the nutes a bit and started throwing a lil calmag at em witch I will do the whole grow just so I don’t run into issues. Lowered the light a bit and am getting tired of refilling 3 humidifiers a couple times a day but there loving life so totally worth it!
Finally able to start training them, I will be solely relying on LST by use of metal rods and pipe cleaners with safety pins. Besides that she’s going like clockwork getting pretty excited about how fast there taking off.
Alright everyone if you’ve read up to this point then thank you! One thing I love about LSD25 is it’s resilience, the better you treat her the more she gives back. They are going through the stretch and loving the lst. They are in a transition spot now before they go into the tent under the real light! At the moment there under my 315cmh with the bloom bulb and a phlizon 2000 cob. I upped the PPMs a bit and started with the bud candy, continued with the lst.
Fun tidbit I just have forgot to mention till now but I started with using AN then switched over to green leaf witch was easy to use and great but because I really didn’t want any ph issues with this grow i decided to get back to my roots.
Speaking of roots too I have always used voodoo juice as my root enhancement but heard great things about Root excelurator so decided to give it a shot and don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon.
Till next week!
Alright alright now it’s really kicking off we got them in there final home under the 600hps and some wicked growth and I got bud sites from corner to corner in the 4x4! I’m done with the lst(a lil afraid I may have over done them) and now going to let them finish there stretch verticaly. Took some time to remove the lil definitely no light bud spots and leafs, hardly even a defol more like a manicure to help focus its energy. There are a few showing there purple traits and I’m praying most of them will end up with it.
These are definitely a hungry strain I’m at full feedings now and they are loving it. No signs of burn or deficiency’s so just going to keep trucking like this.
This is the nice part watering every other to third day and just doing general maintenance hopefully from here on!!!!
Hello hello and happy mother’s day to all moms who see this.
This week was pretty exciting in the tent, to start it off when I first watered them I found the ppms we’re getting around the 1700 mark so I have em a straight water and then a lower strength feeding. Kinda fun fact bud candy and big bud hardly raise your ppms at all so was quite happy with that.
I was pretty surprised that the girls were still growing at an alarming rate so I had to make an executive decision and decide to defol all the lower bud sites and leafs that were getting net to no light. I know your not supposed to with autos but I’m super tired of larf so I went for it and good god I swear they loved it more than anything I’ve done up to this point and pretty much exploded within a couple of days.
Now the girls are have sent it into flowers too so I’m very happy to say outta 7 plants I only have 2 of the green phenos who are a little smaller than the purple but I’ve heard there more potent so here to hoping!
Till next week everyone and thanks for keeping up!
Pardon my language but F$*k me running they are outta control in a week a couple of them doubled in size clocking in at 45” and bud sites everywhere! It was getting so outta hand I had to do something as I was worried when they matured the branches would all break and I was getting tired taking them in and out to water so I went all out!
What I did was installed blocks under my liner so it was slanted towards the front of the tent to easily remove water. Then I installed the plastic pallet(got stupid lucky finding it) then after a lot of fun building the trellis setup using hemp twine as the string lol I placed all the plants and had to use pulleys from the lights to slowly lower the trellis down and weave as many branches as possible. Took me a lil over an hour till it was in place, at the time I thought I made it to tall but within 2 days it was pretty much all grown in nicely.
Next issue I had to deal with was watering the monsters in the back so I went out bought a sump pump a 16gallon bucket and a watering wand with a hose to connect to the sump. This is by far one of the best contraptions I’ve ever made and now it feels like I’m operating a perfect self contained system.
Sorry everyone for the long post but I am super proud of this never been so dedicated to or worked as hard on a grow and it shows!!!!!
I dislike when people ask “how much am I going to yeild???” But does anyone think a pound is possible if this continues with no issues? Ive never gotten more than 9oz but this grows taking the cake.
Hey that's quite possible :-) With 600 watts and their large 👍 but do you really already have an Ec of 2.0? I think that's a lot for this stadium :-) but everything looks great 😍👌
I can't tell, but you can guesstimate with your experience with your sqare footage and equipment used (experience).
If you haven't changed lights or other factors, you'll ikely hit that same ceiling regardless of size of plant -- in fact if overfilled, you'll get less than normal. A differnt strain may very well hit 1lbs doing th esame exact things, so don't think it's self-inflicted problem specifically.
I grew a plant out longer and get same yield with same equipment.. just more fluff and trash below - even if lollipopped.
the amount of energy you provide will be the limiting factor (along with CO2 if you have strong lights), Increase fertilizer all you want, but without more light you won't produce more bud. It'll be relative to strain too (relative to each seed of same strain too).
Can you do better with the same equipment? i bet you can, because no one is doing everythign perfeclty and efficiently as possible. But, if you are doing things mostly the same way and only grew it out more, that will have a similar yield as what you experienced in past... potentialy a greater portion of fluff if unrolly and unamanaged (doesn't look like yours are that way with a screen, just saying in general)
Something i am coming to terms with -- likely better to grow smaller plants with greater control over how it shapes and grows. A more even canopy and more consistent growth on all colas will result = more yield in same space. Totally avoid the weak colas by simply not having them.. lol.. i have a photo of a single plant taking up half my bloom area -- my old way of doing things. It does well, but i expect am uch better yield when i switch to 4 plants filling that same 1/2 space. Looks you you already do that to some extent, but altering how you prune or train may help.
Hello once again and I hope y’all had a good week!
Down in the purple tent this week was strange, it was the first time sense week 3 these lady’s didn’t have an extreme explosive growth and honestly I’m okay with that lol. The bud sites however have started to plump up as expected and I’m hoping they continue too at this rate.
Finally ran into a detrimental issue that kinda upset me but was glad I caught early. I started to notice some rust spots on a couple leafs of one plant witch prompted me to take a closer look, PH was spot on and runoff was coming out at 1200(a little higher than it should) so I turned the lights off and inspected with my CMH. Almost all the lower leafs were to dark green for my liking and the newest growth on a few were bright green. This all together led me to believe it was the beginning of nute lockout so I flushed em hard with a 600ppm wash then 400 a couple days later. This brought it down to the 650 mark witch they seem to have responded really well too go going to tone it down with the food a bit until they tell me otherwise.
Also this was the final week for my Big Bud so this week I’ll be hitting up that overdrive.
All in all I’m loving these ladies it woulda been nicer if the plants were more similar not crazily different phenos but it’s to be expected with autos so happy growing everyone and lookin forward to touching base next week!!!!!!
I wanna apologize to everyone for not keeping up for the past couple weeks of the grow but felt I still had to show the world what lsd-25 can do. It was my best harvest to date after curing I got a total of 18oz 4g of quality product. The smoke is great a little harsh I coulda flushed better but that’s nit picking. I will be doing more grows on here and will be making an effort not to slack on here so be sure to check em out! Thanks everyone for checking it out!
