9 Purple Kush under 360 watts of LED. Dunit 2nd LED Grow

where are you Dunit?

Holy fuck am I glad to be home! I got a call to go to work pronto and when the oilpatch calls you answer cause the paychecks rock. Still, over 170 hours in 14 days and I'm burnt right out.....can't even remember where I left off and will have to go back and re-read. Think I need to post bud pics.

Anyway as I think I mentioned I set up a new room and had some rescue plants in it that a buddy of mine fucked up. They are ready for chop and I started hand stripping today after I slept for almost 14 hours. Will chop tomorrow. These were 9 purple Kush that he had under 1000wHPS for three weeks and nearly killed em with a bad PH stick. They sure came together for the end. Keep in mind these plants are about 3 ft tall.

Here's a pic of that room before I went away. The ones I'm cutting are at the back in a 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 area with 540 watts of actual draw LED (three Magums) over it.

nice led grow you got.

Welcome back bud! Speaking of bud, we need some of those cured bud pics up soon! Im finishing up my 300 watt LED grow and I started another LED grow with 6 $100 OG Kush plants in a 4 x4 tent under two 500 watt Blackstars. Actual draw is 608 watts approx. Im 12 days into flower there and 45 days into flower in my 300 watt SCROG. Thanks to you I expanded my LED growing to that 4 x4 tent. THanks for your advice and your grow journal. I got a question for you, what kinda camera are you using to catch these amazing photos? Are you using a USB microscope or a regular camera?

It's a regular camera and I just use the macro setting. It has a picture of a flower on the dial....how ironic Biggest issue is that the LED's don't throw that many lumens and the camera shutter speed slows down to compensate and they are often a bit blurry cause its hard to get a good pic under 1/60 unless you have a tripod.

Anyway, here we are cut and hanging the latest round. This one's gonna be interesting. The plants are way bigger and the buds are larger but the nodes were spaced out a bit more. Nugz are definately much harder than last time too so letting them go the extra 5 days seems to have been a good idea.

I have 16 more plants in their final three weeks under my finishing space (3 Magnums) and will post some pics of those tomorrow. They are ugly plants and were the ones that were re-vegged and got fucked up looking.

This is my new clean round. I might start a new journal but not sure how much time I'll have when I keep having to go up north for work. 10 PK that were fimmed and vegged entirely under Magnums. Today was day one of flower. They are in Promix in 2.5 gallon pots.

Looking really good man! I forget.... are you running any CO2? And out of curiousity how many Magnums you got now total? I realize you finish under 3 but if you're vegging with them too?

Got a damn purple kush factory over there! Where do you live again??? Great job DUNIT! I need to learn to keep my OG Kush bushy like yours. My strain is really stretchy and wirey.

Did you just use promix? No additional perilite or anything? I am using it (first grow...) in 5 gallon buckets with holes at the bottom and am worried that it holds water maybe a little too well...

No added perilite. Straight promix.

Work is killin me right now and living in camp sucks. No cell service and internet has all the fun sites blocked. Finally made it into town for a couple nights. Got a buddy keeping an eye on things.

So I got 591 grams out of my rescue plants Almost 1.1 grams per watt out of plants that were completely yellowed out and didn't even know if they would recover 3 weeks into flower. Wish I could find my missing memory card and post some pics of them at that time.

So here's the latest round. Just back in town and when I get caught up on sleep I'll chat with my "assistant" and figure out what day of flower we are on

Welcome back dude!

Hey this question is for anyone that knows... I just got a sentinel cppm4 co2 controller hooked up to a hydrofarm co2 regulatoootor on a 20lbs tank. How long does it take for fuzzy logic to dial itself in? right now it's overshooting my ppms by about 160...sometimes less sometimes a few more. It has been running for almost an hr so far. Thanks for the help

Yea, welcome back buddy. I do appreciate your input.

nvm fixed problem by adjusting flow rate....

I know this grow is done, but for what its worth . . . I just got this coupon for $100 off the Magnum LED . . . code MAGDEAL100.

That would have been really nice a month ago!

You guys got some Magnum journals going?

I have one
