First week down. Excited to see what this strain can do. Foliar feeding will start soon. Deep Bloom, Snow Storm Ultra, Alchemist Stout, and then RAW NPK Yucca will be the main spray with Kelp and Fulvic added for one feeding per week. I will dilute 1ml of Photosynthesis Plus once per week in the mixture because of the photosynthesis strain of bacteria. Other then that itโs just waiting for noticeable growth so I can begin their training. The BudBox should work nicely especially when it comes time for the stretch. The Spotless Mind fucking kicked my ass. Going to by extensions for the Shorty but itโs to late for this grow. The weight of the plants in their pot makes it to difficult to extract without damaging the plants. These Karmic Connections should fair heโll of lot better. The BlackDog LED is hung at 38in to allow plants to acclimate and grow towards the light. Like I said the growth so far is on par. Wonโt notice a real difference until flowering where we can see if these 5w chips penetrate the lower canopy. I enjoy the early stages because the Octopots only have to be filled once or twice a week. Grows are starting to get more routine, not sure what more I can do except not fuck up the ph hahaha I always let one slip ๐คซ
@MrKen, And I will be lol haha. Live checking these ladies and seeing better and better grow. I can always learn this way even when I don't grow ๐๐
Thanks mate nice words!
Hey! Looking good! What do you mean by "Full Spectrum"? It's typically just a marketing gimmick word that means many different things so I'm interested to hear what you mean by saying that. The Black Dog lights have 9 different colors of LED covering beyond PAR (400 - 700nm). It also has ACTUAL UV and IR lights not just a miniscule .008 of UV bleed off from LED's that are close to it like deep blue. Hell, someone could claim an incandescent bulb has enough bleed off into UV to claim that it's Full Spectrum. No other light that I have researched actually have as much of a complete "Full Spectrum" as Black Dog.
@Bruce_Leroy1, agree thatโs a gimmick. Go look at my other diaries and you will see what I mean. You seem to be misunderstanding. Iโm comparing the chips used to create the spectrum. My BlackDog vs my Migro in this comment.
