Started with (6) 45 watt Black Magic LED grow lights from Home Depot @ $65/ea. Realized after 2-3 weeks the plants weren't growing as compared to others with higher end lights. After a lot of reading I purchased (3) Viparspectra 1500's off Amazon, one for each plant. I brought 3 potted plants into my grow shed that weren't doing very well (unbeknownst to me, my son tried growing them from seed starting in October, outside, in Southern California) along with my 3 plants and all 6 plants responded well to the lights and nutrients. My sons plants were stressed, stunted, reveg'ed, and yet somehow started growing again. Not huge, explosive growth, but definitely in the right direction. My plants grew as expected and started to compare to others with higher end lights. We ended up with 29 grams from my sons plants and 226 grams from my plants. I'm thinking of buying (3) more Viparspectra 1500's for the additional plants I'm going to start next, or better yet, replacing these 1500's with the Viparspectra 2500's. Quite honestly, I'm probably fine with just the 1500's but if you're listening Viparspectra, I'd be happy to review the 2500's. :)

Great stuff, See review for Bubble gum. Gonna grow more of this stuff. In fact, I have another strain, Black Jack, that I'll grow with the Jack Herer to compare the two.

My grow shed spiked into the low 90's for a couple days before I bought a portable AC unit. I'm wondering if the heat stressed my plants and caused them to Herm? I just posted all the pictures I have Week1 through Week 8 of my first grow. Any other comments would be appreciated.

No issue here my friend. These all look female. I don't see any pollen sack (male) so there is no male or no hermaphrodite. Keep growing, she looks amazing

While doing a little LST on my photo, I split the stalk a little. Doesn't seem to have hurt it (yet) but wondering what I should do, if anything?

On Week 11 Day 74, I've been noticing the leaves turning yellow. I'm assuming because we're getting close to harvest, but after reading more about nutrient deficiencies I'm wondering if I should be doing something about it. I started flushing a 1.5 weeks ago.

Hey :-) Look with a microscope 👌If the trichome heads are about 70% milky and 30% clear, you can start with the flush. If the trichomes are about 70% milky and 30% amber, it is a very good time to harvest 👍🙏🏻 but do not pay attention to the leaves of the trichomes on the buds 👍

Ok folks, went out to check the trichomes and smelled something funny...like mold. Saw these spots on several leaves and now I'm panicking so close to harvest. Let me know what you think and what I can do about it, if anything. Thanks!!

Looks like white powdery mold.. There are quite a few products and homemade concoctions people use to treat WPM. Among the effective treatments are: Milk (1:9 ratio of milk to water) Baking soda (2 tablespoons per gallon of water) Hydrogen Peroxide (1 teaspoon of 35% H202 per gallon of water) SM-90 (1:5 ratio of SM-90 to water) You can also give them a bath at harvest time to help rinse off whatever you don't completely get rid of! Hope this helps!

Nice grow! SoCal first-timer grower here too with 2 ILGM seeds (AH, BB). Worried about my temps (82*F in my tent) in SoCal...hope these plants are resilient enough. Don't have a budget for a portable AC...

@@jcbud, Thanks! I have a jewelers loupe coming today so I can check the trichomes. They're fattening up now and I've been flushing them with filtered water for the past week. I'll update my diary with new pictures. As for your heat, I tried a couple things that helped but wasn't perfect. If you can, turn up your exhaust fan so the heat doesn't build up and, carefully, switch your light schedule to night time if you're running a decent light system. 82* isn't so bad....92* is when I started freaking out and running around looking for something...anything...to protect my babies. I ended up cutting a couple holes in the lid, one for an intake fan and the other as an exhaust port, then filled the cooler with ice. It raised the RH about 5 points but didn't do anything for the temps. Now that I've gotten my feet wet with this grow, I'm going to try staggering my grows and strains to keep getting new bud every 2-3 weeks. I'm germinating the next batch now (all ILGM autos - Bubblegum, Jack Herer and OG Kush. The next batch will be Pacific Seed Bank autos - Big Devil, Black Jack, Fruity Pebble OG (FPOG), and some Maui Wowie for a trip down memory lane. And I'll start a new GD to document that. Good luck with your grow! I'll check it out too.
