AK-47 SCRoG / DWC / Pro-Grow 260

**JamesBong007** · 01-15-2012, 03:35 PM

This is a legally compliant MMJ grow and I have been a patient for a while.

This is my second grow, I learned a ton of valuable hands-on information going through my first grow which was two Northern Lights under a 150w HPS in DWC in a 2x3x5 tent using the Fox Farms 3 part. Total dry was 72g. Not too much but nice and dense nugs that are also a smooth smoke.

My situation makes it difficult to move up to a bigger HPS because of heat, so after lots of research I invested in a Pro-Grow 260 LED panel which is arriving tomorrow. I have to say that they are really quick and helpful when it comes to customer service and handling orders.

Onto the important stuff....

For this grow I'm using:

-AK-47 Clone
-2x3x5 Tent with pc exhaust fan at the top
-4x23w daylight CFLs, 2x warm CFLs
-Pro-Grow 260
-7" Oscillating fan
-DWC system using standard black 5-gallon bucket & airstone. Whisper 60 air-pump.
-Cutting Edge Solutions 3-part Line
-Superthrive, Botanicare Silica Blast, Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus
-Botanicare Hydroplex or Liquid Koolbloom (Never used a PK booster before, suggestions?)
-Humboldt Honey Hydro (Carbs)

The clone I received originally was not in great shape (see picture) it had a mite problem, so I took this as a chance to learn how to deal with these things and followed a stickied guide on RIU to make a pepper-spray that killed em off. After that the clone really took off after I got it into the DWC.

Seeing as how I haven't been able to get my light until tomorrow I've been vegging with a powerstrip CFL fixture. I believe this is week 4 of veg, just hit the screen. Roots are super white and I am honestly in love with the CES nutes. No residue in the bucket and the plants real happy.

Below is also a picture of my DIY DWC Bucket Scrog setup. Done with PVC Pipe and these organizer pieces I found. Allows you to take off the bucket lid to do res changes. This is my first scrog. There is also a picture of a nug of my first grow

Any suggestions and comments welcomed. Excited to see how my first LED experience is and to share it with you guys.

From what I understand/have read, the PG 260 has a larger ratio of Red to White/Blue (Vegging) LED's than the PG 180 for more flowering power in full spectrum mode, I will let you know if I found out for sure. That's why I went with the 260.

Beef, have you had better results vegging in veg or full spectrum mode? Thanks
