Starting these Sweet cheese F1, inside a home made SpaceBucket. It has a Chinese UFO LED (150W - 70 W real) and a strip of white LEDs. I plan on scrog and topping + LST. Im aiming to get 75 g dried from one plant. I will use TopCrop ferts along the proccess. Lets see whats up! I've been feeding it since day 5. Water PH: 6.0 Top Crop Deep Underground & Top Veg. One feed is water only, and another one is with those nutrients. I feed her 50 ml of water every 2-3 days.

All great points, every grow is different, as well as every strain is different. I recently realized that some of my seedlings took off and immediately began growing, while others were slow and took much more tlc and problem solving. If you've gotten a decent light setup as well as soil, etc. I bet she will pick up for you. Those first few weeks can be frustrating getting everything sorted out, however if your ph is good, your heat reasonable( 80 could be a tad high), and you're not over or under watering, I feel confidant the grow will pick up. I definitely agree with stick as checking the light specifics, many leds claim to be much more than they are. Good luck with your grow, I'm fascinated by the space bucket approach.

2nd week complete! Its growing day to day, with noticeable changes. Im waiting one more week before I switch to 12-12 and change it to the 12L container. I've been watering every 2 days, about 50 ml each time I water. One feed, one water, thats the schedule. I noticed that there are a lot of bud sites developing in the branch formation, so excited!! 👻

I set a fan blowing towards the plant. I uploaded a video showing the intensity its receiving. I want to know if that's too much air or is it OK for the plant to shake like that?

A non-oscillating fan blowing on a plant can cause wind burn. I suggest getting an oscillating fan. The plant needs fresh air circulation. A constant fan on the plant wont allow the plant to use up the co2 (non sealed room) around its leaves.

3 weeks of veg now, tomorrow Ill switch her to 12/12. I started to do LST and I noticed a bunch of new budsites, around 12 I guess. I tucked in some leaves also, so that those budsites get some more light. I moved it from a 3L pot to a 12L one. I gave her a last TC DU dose before moving it from 3L to 12L pot. Now I plan to give her some top veg only until 4th week.

I've switched her to floration. Gave her on first day Top Crop Big One, on the leaves. I started to LST her to make her stay as small as possible, and tied to the ground. I gave her one last shot of Top Veg, and I noticed some bug bites on the leaves so I applied some repelent. It might have been too much, because some leaves turned kind of brown and I believe its because of this repelent. Just in case, Im gonna give her only water this week and see how she recovers. Im going to start feeding her flowering nutes at the start of week 3.

Well here we are again, 3 weeks into floration, and things are going well. I defoliated pretty much all fan leaves, and trying to keep the plant trained low and bushy. Im hoping to start seeing some pistils next week or so, and let it stretch to the light. I lowered the LED lights, and I think the plant loved it. Its a constant learning game it seems! How is it looking?

Watching her grow, that's about it. I defoliate her every 2 days or so, and let her get taler and closer to the light. Some pistils are showing, which is great news. I guess its a waiting game now.

Plain water this week. Don't want them to be overfed. As it gets colder around here, I water the plant once a week, because the soil keeps being moist. Next watering will be on saturday and I plan to feed here then. Everything is runinng smooth, seeing a lot of bud growth, so, I'm happy. I'm about to get some COB lighting, so it might improve floration.

ElPresidentestarted grow question 7 years ago
Ive noticed that during winter I only need to water the plants once a week or so. Is that OK for a SpaceBucket with a ufo led? What's better? several small waterings or a big one once a week? Im using 1,25L a week, should I try to break that quantity to 2 waterings?

99% or so of the water the plants drink is later transpired. Because of your low temperatures, the plant is transpiring very little and so, its needs of water are greatly reduced. It is not a matter of UFO vs HID vs whatever; if you can raise your temperatures, then your plants will start drinking more water, the ideal situation is to water for 4 to 5 days. For your temperatures 1.25 liters a week is too much; I would give it half a liter and expect it to last 3 or 4 days. Having the soil wet too long can (and usually will) attract bugs. If you can raise your temperatures, you will see an increase in growth (or bud development) speed; try to lower your exhaust fan speed or have it on a timer (15 in on / 15 min off).

Its growing great. I noticed some yellowing leaves at the bottom. I guess they should be fine, right? Been watering and feeding her once a week, one water , one feed.

All is well. Today I installed a 100W cob led light. Had to remove a branch, because of botrytis, bummer... Its the cost of LST'ing so low, I suppose. Lets see how it improves!

She is growing healthy and without issues, so far. Had to remove a branch that got some botrytis. I hope I catched it on time, and prevented its spreading.

She is loving the COB Led I installed on the spacebucket. I notice its trying to keep growing new buds and it doestn seem to be stopping growth yet. I notice a lot of new leaves from other bud sites that were not happening before.

Last week it seems. Got her under one full 12L flush, and one week of waiting for its soil to dry. Then, 36 hours of pure darkness. And finally, harvesting. Im very happy with the results so far, considering that the spacebucket build was an experiment that seems to have turned just fine. I have taken several notes about this grow, and now I have another little plant growing up, so they will be useful.
