BlackStar LED GROW 4 Bubba OG Kush Harvest Journal
Hi Everyone,
Ive been gone from RIU, because I just got lazy and did a few grows "OFFLINE". I am nearing the end of my current grow, and I decided to document the last days. So all you who would like to view this journal skipped all the boring stuff and got right into my favorite part of flowering. Here is the breakdown of this grow:
2 X 500W Blackstar LED (Approx 608 drawn wattage)
4 x 4 Grow Tent
4 x Bubba OG Kush
Airpots
Sunshine Mix #4
House and Garden Nutrients
I vegged these bitches for about 5 1/2 weeks. They grew slow and were very bushy. I induced flowering at about 19-20 inches, and they are now 29-30 inches tall. I did not top these girls. I trimmed the huge bush of fan leaves around week 5 of flower. I am currently on DAY 49 of the flowering cycle and just started HOUSE AND GARDEN's Shooting Powder Last week. These girls are looking very delicious. I had no problems at all with mold, bugs, etc. The buds are rock hard and forming trichs. Trichs are mostly cloudy with some clear still. Planning to harvest anywhere from day 63-70. So sit back and enjoy this harvest journal!

Flower Day 50
So I checked on my grow tent this afternoon, and thank GOD I did. One of the support elbows (Plastic) broke, and one of the beam went right thru, causing everything in my tent to slant! I had to take out my plants and lights and use a spare elbow to repair the tent. Not only was my tent damaged, but the plants must have put on some weight overnight, cuz they were starting to lean and slouch. The shooting powder is definitely kicking in, because the buds are getting pretty dense, hard and heavy. So I took this opportunity to stake my plants after I fixed my tent. I got a good look at the buds under natural lighting, and it is definitely looking really good! It has a good beginning of trich buildup, and the red hairs are starting to shrivel up and almost disappear behind those milky trichs. It definitely has more of a Bubba Kush smell over the OG Kush smell, but I can smell some hints of that lemon fuel OG kush is known for. This grow is looking really good! I actually called House and Garden last week to ask if my leaves turning orange was normal. I have experienced this everytime I go full strength with shooting powder, and for once I just wanted to make sure this was normal. I was reassured that Shooting powder really pushes the plants for another growth spurt and the nutrients stored up in the leaves are being used on overdrive. So even though I see other plants not exhibit these signs during harvest, I guess its just what my nutrients are designed to do. As long as the Buds are getting bigger and looks legit, im good to go.
Good to see you again Curly! Thanks for finding my journal!Originally Posted by curly604

Beautiful plants man, absolutely stunning!! How many watts of LED did you say you are using?
Thanks! Wait till I take new pics! The trichs and buds are packing on! The total power draw for both lights are approx. 608 watts.
Wow man thats amazing growth. Im guessing the lights are expensive then? Looks like they dont get anywhere near as hot as HPS?
$550 each. Temps hover at 85 degrees. No inline fans, no hot ballasts. I can touch the glass after 18 hours and it's warm. So many advantages growing with LEDs. No changing lights during vegg and flower, less power consumption, plants absorb 80% of light vs 10% HID... My bill is $35 more a month.. Very quiet. 50,000 hours of light per unit. List goes on forever!
