the led I'm borrowing is not ideal it's a vipar spectra 1200(524w.) cutter has some good stuff & I hate o say it the ecosunlite with Cree cobs & chips @ $435.00 =3 cobs & the rest chips looks tempting then there is the 315 cmh too I got the stardawg & headband here www.darkheartnursery.com just go to the upper right corner & click on to strains

the waterfarm is a joy to use outdoors I only fed with my waste nutes for the most part if I had started in spring & fed like I should she would be a monster gonna do it next year so much easier than soil

Nice might have to give that go mate haha. I do really wanna try an outdoor on Dutch Pro nutrients though, my mate had some of the best smokes for taste off that. It was a type of Blueberry but monster dense buds to it with really orangey/red hairs.

the headband started developing top growth that's reaching for the light she is waking up stardawg met the waterfarm today both are basking under 250w. hps with blue enhanced spectrum which is good for now in a week or 2 I'll kick her up to 400 & prepare for the led both plants gh- flora series simple hydro schedule @710 ppm & ph5.9 the stardawg should start to green- up soon no changes for about 5 days as everything settles into its groove

Nice - you got the original water farms? I haven't seen one of those in many years! lol

Cuttings looking good, looks like just move stress, food coming into play etc. Soon as they take they will fly.

Nice.I had to import my water farm.... fucking nightmare. I would just make one but a.) I'm lazy and b.) just found the site of the water farm to be perfect for feeding, dissolved oxygen etc etc.

the headband is waking up this is where my last grow went haywire so with that in mind I dropped my ppm to low to mid 600's I also shortened my drip rings from 8 in.diameter to 6-1/2 in keeping the drips just close enough for the rockwool cubes to wick it up headband has grown about 1 in. today & putting a whipping on the stardawg to the point if it keeps up that rate of growth the stardawg won't be able to keep up the stardawg used to be slightly larger the headband has turned that around in less than a day she is like a high-power creeper vine this is more than likely gonna be a headband solo grow

If it were me, I would flush both for a few days to let them circulate the nutrients absorbed and cleanse out. Come back in at lower PPM and see how they take. Get them babies rooted happily. How was the rooting when you got them? So easy to fry the roots in water farm - might be what happened last time. I am a bit paranoid when it comes to PPMs as done it all before haha You can prob tell from my cheesus grow atm lols

they were rooted in rockwool cubes when I got them I then put them in potting soil they had about 3-1/2 in. of roots like a little beard when I put them in the waterfarm here is the first sample of the mkultraXbubblegum as it dries out

I added some cal mag today as I had not used on these babies my tap- water comes out at 35-50 ppm. & its snow runoff not well water so I doubt there is much cal mag in it 2 days in its apparent the stardawg is wanting something the headband continues to put out new growth very soon I will have to start training the headband as she is gonna get unruly

View attachment 3787450 View attachment 3787450 View attachment 3787450 View attachment 3787452 headband is so much like skywalker it's unreal she ran right over the stardawg & responding very well to 610 ppm & 5.8 ph I'm not changing a thing getting 1 in. growth daily & it's early in the grow I've got high hopes for this one & im definatly gonna clone before I flip I'll be pulling the stardawg out soonView attachment 3787450

I am very happy with the mkultraXbubblegum if anyone is considering this strain I would recommend it any problems I had were my fault th- seeds did good on this one

Lovely

the stardawg is now outside the headband is growing at a faster rate than the stardawg to the point where the stardawg can't catch up so its like flogging a dead horse this grow is going to be all about the headband & a light upgrade is in the works it's looking like a 315 cmh as it seems to have the most bang for the buck I trial fitted the scrog as well training camp is close at hand

headband has all the growth characteristics of a bundle of snakes so the training has begun gonna order 315 lec cmh hopefully by tomorrow

I'm gonna feed tonight @ about 700ppm. getting growth daily I'll be leaving my light on the 250hps setting for now the stardawg I moved outside is turning around but will never overcome the headband
