12/27, Sunday - I was working on another strain, ILGM Chronic Widow, but only had 2 out of 10 seeds pop following their exact directions. My last grow of ILGM Black Widow was 5 out of 10. I did harvest over a pound of the Black Widow. I decided to go find myself some healthy clones which landed me in the lobby of the Archive Dispensary. I wanted a gassy or gluey type strain, so I went with their own Duct Tape strain. Huge fan leaves, almost 20 inches tall. Gorgeous girls. Bought 4 of them. I brought them home and showed them to their room and let them bask in the 1000 watts for the cycle. The light cycle is 18/6 starting at 4:30pm to 10:30am. 12/28, Monday - Repotted these ladies into some Root Maker Root Trapper II 7 gallon pots. Pretty interesting things. I did a mycorrhizae root dip and gave them a little drink to chill out. Notice some purple stems. I used Bigfoot Mycorrhizae Concentrate for the dip and used Bigfoot Mycorrhizae Gold for dusting the potting hole. 12/29, Tuesday (feed day) - I am going to spray them before they goto sleep in the morning. The foliar spray will be 1 liter of spring water with 1.25ml NFTG Kraken, 2.5ml of NFTG Zeus Juice, 1.25ml NFTG Hygeia Hydration pH'ed to 6.5. When they wake up I'm going to give them a 2 liter drink of the mix above. pH'ed to 6.3. I am going to feed nutrients at half strength for the first week. Basing this on a feed, feed, tea, feed, feed, flush schedule every other day. 12/30, Wednesday - Sprayed the leaves down again. Plants still looking a little droopy and have some purple stems going on. Going to leave them alone today and see what tomorrow brings. 12/31, Thursday (NYE) - Fed them 1 liter of water with the mixture above. 1/1, Friday - Happy New Year! The plants are looking droopy. I think they are over watered by the way they act. I am going to leave them alone and watch them. The soil is not soaked but it is wet. 1/3, Sunday - Still not looking so healthy. Going to do some reading and research tonight to figure out the best route to go.

January 3rd - Well, week 1 and not looking so good. Have some leaf burn. Spoke to Scott over at Nectar From the Gods and he suggested a plan of just foliar feeding. See if we can get them back on track.

Monday 1/11/21 - Well, the foliar spray Scott recommended really worked. They perked up and got much greener. I do have some stressed out stems that are purple. Going to work on correcting those this week. Get everything dialed in. Wednesday 1/15 - Gave them the same regiment again with 1 liter of food/water each. Friday 1/17 - Tea Day. I mixed up 4 liters of spring water with 5ml of SLF-100, 2.5ml of Fullon, 5ml Root Dip, 5ml Photo O, 5ml Nourish L, and 15ml scoop of Dr. ROOT. pH at 6.15/510 ppm. Gave each plant 1 liter. Poured in instead of sprayed in. Wanted to see how water ran through it. No standing water for long, very little came out.

Hey!!! Love the Black Dog LED's! I will follow along as my plants just popped and starting a grow about the same time as you under the same spectrum. The PM2-1000 should be hitting a solid PPFD across the canopy in a 5x5. You should be able to pull 2lbs out of there easily depending on the strains you're growing (Never grown those so not sure). Looking forward to watching the grow!

@Bruce_Leroy1, The first time, they sent me out a "new" one that was all scratched. Instead they ended up repairing my original unit. This time they want me to pay frieght for a loaner and being into a grow already, I don't have that option. Freight both ways is super expensive. They told me I could keep using it until the grow was over. Personally, I think Black Dog's customer service has sucked. I won't buy another light of theirs.

@MikeCoriza, Drivers can go out on any light. That sucks it happened twice in 6 months smh. Did they fix it?

@Bruce_Leroy1, weird. I sent a reply back trashing Black Dog and it didn't save. In 6 months I've had 2 major warranty issues. Same issue, different bank of lights. Strobing out big time. Goes off and on. Not very happy with the product for what I paid for it.
