So on February 11th she was moved from the algae breeding tote to a 8" net pot with old Hydroton brand grow pebbles that were barely washed and in the basement for over a year. (oops). two cheap airstones are put in the bucket with a cheap dual outlet fish tank air pump. ResClear was used a couple more times to take care of dirty hydroton mold/fungi/algae/bacteria issues.
Lighting was changed on February 11th to a Bloomspect 600watt (262 actual watts), with both veg and bloom switched switched on, directly overhead, covering only this plant.
@grower_not_shower, i used a bloomspect 600 watt, with both veg and bloom switched on over this one plant, it also got some light run off from two other bloomspects and a meizhi 600 non reflector. i "topped" it on march 8th after it was already pretty large. the tent held a very high humidity level through veg. i also used veg nutrients (maxi grow) which help to keep it from budding....the bloomspects give off a lot less red light past 640nm. the same strain plant i had under the meizhi, although it is still huge, it started to bud earlier, my assumption is due to the meizhis more far right spectrum of reds from 650nm-680
amazing crop brother. I'm at week 6 of vegging and planning on leaving it veg for 2 more weeks so flip at the beginning of week 8 but after seeing how big your crop got from week 6 to week 9 i might leave mine veg till week nine. do you ise RO water?
@Lou_Grows, this is an autoflower by the way. i do not use RO water, i use well water which only has a starting ppm of around 60. it is amazing though how much an extra week of veg can do under a lot of watts. i purposely tried my best to hold these in veg by keeping them in veg nutrients, as that is the only way to control an autoflowers cycle.
I keep coming back to look at this and your Dinafem. I'm just amazed at both. I think I'll be adopting some of your technique for plant number 2. Really amazing.
