8 Mango Girls under LEDs

Hey all. I have 8 baby mangos that I started on 8/29 from rooted clones. I fimmed them when I planted them (trying this for something new). They are currently under a T5 in 4" pots and are going to move into 3 gal root pots tomorrow. They will stay under T5s until I start to flower them. At that point I will move them 2 300w LEDs. Here are some pics of them so far. Sorry for the poor quality, at the moment all I have is the camera in my cell phone. Its probably not visible in this crappy pic but I did have some powdery mildew that caused some damage. I'm gonna try to track down a real camera for future posts.

Here are some better pictures. As you can see I had some PM damage. I am kind of surprised with some of the growth after being fimmed. Anybody else use this technique and get similar results?



PS: I cant figure out how to flip these picture. They are the right way when I view them on my pc. If anybody knows how, let me know. Thanks.

Nice looking plants
If your using windows right click on the pic thumbnail and click edit. There should be a circle/flip arrow towards the bottom that rotates the image.

What kind of LEDs are you gonna be using??

mango is bomb as fuck. from the coffee shop blue sky has sum bad ass cuts

I will be using 2 189X-PRO from hydrogrowled.com. I probably wont being using them for another 10-14 days.

I transplanted today. I moved all the babies to 3 gal Root Pots. The medium is half Canna Coco and half perlite. For nutrients I am using the three part GH expert program. I will using Hydroplex to replace the KoolBloom. The only other additions are Rapid Start from GH and Xtreme Gardners Mykos. This time around I am also using ExHale CO2 bags to try and give the plants a little boost.

One thing I found odd is the difference in size of the 3 gal Smart Pot compared to the 3 gal Root Pot.

Looks good bro. Keep up the great work.


Happy growing

Day 20

I sprayed them all today with Green Cure to keep that PM away. I also numbered them all so I can tell them apart. I took pictures of them all but I was rushed and only a few came out. Here they are. What do you think?

Day 24

I fed the girls again today. I want some nice bushy plants so I fimmed them again based on some advice from my friendly grow expert. I have a buddy who has far more experience helping me this time around so hopefully the result is awesome. Here are the post fimming pictures. I will post more in a few days to show the results.
