one light one plant one pound....

ok back to the grow she is not gaining as much in height with the led vs the hps but really tightening up as she develops & the quality of my growth is off the hook I trial fitted my res . it's tight but it's gonna work & not a moment too soon I'm gonna drain & hook it up today believe it or not 6 gals is easier to mix & control the ppm. than mixing 2 gal. the quality of my growth is good as the nice green color not too dark but no yellowing either gonna have to raise the light soon & for the first time I can squeeze the light & the canopy in the same pic through my open door after this grow I'm gonna pull everything out & get my room setup in its final configuration which will be 2 plants in the waterfarms utilizing the remote reservoir

Looking great pal, lusciously green! Nice looking light you got there as well, what is the other res for? Is it like a header tank or summat?

it feeds my waterfarm & holds 4 gal of nutes giving me a total of 6 gal when you figure in the 2 gallons in the unit that holds the plant

Looks awesome mate, such a turnaround. Power of less lutes, crazy ass lighting and good old trusty waterfarm lol Well done. Looks like that light is providing so much goodness - it dont need to stretch. The colour is very healthy too, taken me 7 weeks of precise feeding to get mine looking that healthy lol On that note Cheesus has been a breeze to grow the last week. Such a big difference to the whole of veg basically lol Looks like got some stiff competition anyway mate.. Im on target but I have no idea really its a crazy forrest type strain haha

the light seems to be as advertised but I'm really wanting to do a complete grow a-z & Finish my room the way I want it this light will cover 2 plants there is a grower named my passion he is using one of those ecosunlite he has a thread in indoor growing led lighting section he is also in the UK

horribleherk · Oct 27, 2016

got my res hooked up fed @ 880 ppm. raised the light & tied down some limbs the screen is close to full according to the breeder I've got 3 weeks of stretch left how much the led changes that remains to be seen this is gonna be a learning experience

my grow was neglected yesterday as the rains are upon me & I have a below ground level room that seeps water I had to rent an excavator & dig 5 ft. down on the north wall to install a drain I have a room & a bathroom downstairs that I can now utilize my operating skills are a bit rusty but I got it dug without fucking anything up so this is why no update yesterdayView attachment 3815757 View attachment 3815758 View attachment 3815759

Haha awesome -- you know, it always strikes me how you guys just hop onto any machine and know how to use it?
Makes me so jealous!

Lovely, how your girl is coming along!!

horribleherk · Oct 28, 2016

she is in her groove the screen with the exception of the very corners has filled & my growth pattern has went vertical soon I'm gonna have to thin some growth to clear up some bud sites I'm not a big fan of of defoliating but sometimes a little don't hurt

I might of bit off more than I can chew when I titled this thread but that being said things are going well if not this grow a 1 lb harvest with his room is gonna happen at this point I'm not using this light to its full potential a larger screen & possibly 2 plants to fill it is in the future I'm starting to get a lot of enjoyment out of this that I haven't seen in a while we've got us a good little groupe of people here lately that keeps the fun in it

Ahno, twould be a pity, leave them on, for now at least - they're your plant's solar panels

I switched to COBs a grow ago and my plants are doing great without any of that :mrgreen:

Here's a bud from the middling growth of my current grow (an auto on day45)

They're developing well despite the leaves above them

On my Pineapple Express, the very lowest buds were just a tad fluffy, but totally trich-laden.
So it's not a problem, and she gets to do the most photosynthesis she can to build her structure for bloom!

Not easy going for 1lb from a plant. I did it once, by that I mean went for 1lb :lol:

Not actually achieving it though

Instead of the ambitious 1lb, I got 7 3/4 ounces from a white widow under led too. I vegged that bitch for 2 months too :lol:

I was almost in tears at harvest time. We'd become great friends over the 4 months! Then I killed her with scissors :?:

o

1lb, if you get that I'll be well happy for you!

Good idea increasing the area too. Use the efficiency :wink:

I'm a fucker for defoliating, I've always done it, but this grow i'm going to abstain myself, just the odd leaf I think. Although i bet i get carried away!

How many tops have you got mate? Each one will have at least a Henry deffo's, and some will be massive, over an ounce each. Your 1lb goal is do-able and I think you'll be surprised.
And enjoyment is the biggest thing for me pal, the big yield is an added bonus in our hobby. I don't smoke weed anymore and don't make much money from what I grow, but I do love our hobby and our little community, it makes it all the more special.

I tied down a few branches trying to get all this in her final configuration once again the weekend is upon us I did pinch off a few leaves but not enough to notice by tomorrow they will be turned upwards probably should of vegged a bit longer but time will tell at this point I feel pretty good & gearing up for the next one I'm getting quite a few bud sites I hope they fatten up 880 ppm was a bit low on the last feeding but I'll top off & see how much she has consumed in the morning it might be time to kick it up a bit

She looks brilliant mate and to be fair there isn't much room left to veg anymore, especially if she has 3 weeks worth of stretch left!
You've put a tremendous amount of effort into this grow and she looks mint, I hope she gives you back a lot more than you deserve!!
:smile:

thanks stickman good to see you closer to home these days before I retired we had a saying we all lived by & it's kinda folklore among blue collar workers & it goes like this " you gotta mow hay when the sun is shining" which really means you gotta make the money while the opportunity is there we all gotta get by in this world anyhow it's good you're back

horribleherk · Oct 29, 2016

it looks like she is gonna start flowering soon way sooner than expected

horribleherk · Oct 30, 2016

I pulled the dome off the clones & gave them the 1st. feeding also moved them under the t-5s I'll know soon if they wilt or not they have new growth that is very pale looking so it's either swim or drown
