Wicked's 3 Incredible Bulks Under Dual P450 LEDs

Hello all I'm new to the forum but I've been growing for about four years now. Started with CFLs then moved on to an Apollo 1000W Cool tube kit. I've grown many Incredible Bulks and Heavyweight Fruit Punch with the 1000W with great success just got tired of trying to manage heat and power bills so I decided to switch to LED. I have two P450's from Platinum LED In a 6 ft. long 2 ft. wide and 7 1/2 ft. high closet I lined with Mylar.
I'm growing three Incredible Bulks that I germinated in a paper towel soaked in PH'ed water, when the seeds cracked I put them into 15 gallon pots.
For the pots I put Geolite clay pebbles about 2 1/2 inch's thick in the bottom of each pot with two large air stones in the middle to pump air to the root system. I top that off with a mix of Fox Farms Ocean Forest, Happy Frog and ProMix HP about 1/3 each part.
I have a screen door on the closet with a 8000 Btu A/C unit keeping it nice and cool. Going to be doing 18/6 veg then 12/12.
I’ll be using the Botanicare nute line Pure Blend Pro Bloom & Grow, Cal-Mag, Liquid Karma, Vitamino, Hydroplex, PH Up & Down, and Clearex I go by their recommended feeding schedule for each it has served me quite well in the past.
For their water I collect the condensation from my portable A/C unit in a five gallon bucket and water the plants with it since it’s very pure. The PPM readings are between 5 and 30 and my PUR faucet filter is around 85 brand new. I like to keep the PH of the water I feed them nice and evil at 6.66
Today is day 7 since they broke soil. I have some pics of them at day 3 I'll post. If at any point anyone has any questions or tips they are more than welcome. Will post more soon.IMG_20160927_115928.jpg IMG_20160927_115639.jpg IMG_20160927_115659.jpg IMG_20160927_115759.jpg IMG_20160927_115824.jpg IMG_20160927_120042.jpg

Okay day 16 into veg and It's going great I'm impressed with the P450 led panels they seem to be very powerful and they run extremely cool.

I have them 36 inches from the top of the plants on veg and they seem to love it so far. The room temp with A/C is staying between 65 and 71 degrees.


I fed each of them at day 7… I just followed the week one feed schedule of the Botanicare nutes I listed. I also gave them each 6.6PHed water at day 12.

I’ll try to keep this more up to date I’ve been busy with a little hurricane problem luckily I didn’t lose power lol…


Here are some pics I took two days ago when they were at 14 days. IMG_20161008_165651.jpg IMG_20161008_165717.jpg IMG_20161008_165729.jpg IMG_20161008_165756.jpg IMG_20161008_165809.jpg IMG_20161008_165750.jpg

Yeah I'm excited to see what these lights can do so far i'm impressed.
So were on day 35 everything seems to be going good.
I FIMed all 3 ladies 3 days ago and I'm going to let them veg for at least four more days before I switch them over to flower.

Here's some new Pics.

Thank you guys. Everything seems to be going good I switched them over to 12/12 today.
I've noticed through out vegging these plants have very thick foliage and stalks when compared to my old 1000w Cooltube.
So far I'm impressed. My bro has seen every grow I've done with HPS even this same strain, and when he sees the difference in these his jaw drops.
I'm very excited to see how flowering goes :weed:. More pics from today.

Thanks me either! So far it's looking good were one week into flower. Had a little bit of leaf curl on the top of my center plant in the door way due to the A/C Blowing right on it but it's better now.
At the end of four weeks i'm going to start some Incredible Bulk seedlings in my CFL veg box. Staggering it that way I get to harvest every two months... :weed:

Today Florida passed medical marijuana WoooHooo!:clap:
Some new pics.

Looking very good Wicked_One.
My mate is on his third run of dr kriblings inkredibble bulk and he's getting 10/12 ounces a plant in 25litre pots and it's a banging smoke....
Thanks Venom! :bigjoint:
And yeah I've run about 10 Bulks in the past in the same closet with a 1000w cool tube and pulled about the same. It's a great strain all around and it's very resilient to deficiencies.

I have 4 going at the moment that are 22 days old. Excited to see what this Bulk can do.

I got a few Bulks from a friend who started them too late for an outdoor grow. I have been growing 3 Bulks under a 1000 HPS and honestly I treat them like shit and they keep coming back, I usually water them with whatever I have as a left over from what I was watering before, they have gotten veg nutes durning flower and vice versa a few times. I also have been lazy and emptied the humidfier into them, they just keep getting bigger. I have been supercropping them for awhile because of the massive stretch they did, some are duct taped back together from where I got a little too excited and broke them. They are about five weeks into flower and damn I am impressed, and feeling a little guilty about the abuse I have given them (I really didn't want them when he gave me them and like an idiot I told him I would share the harvest 50/50 so I think I tried to kill them at first). The funny thing is I have some Green Crack that is just about to finish in the same room and the IB looks so much better, bigger plants, greener leaves, and will be a much higher yield. I like them so much I took some clones, I can't wait to see how good they do with some care.

View attachment 3839351 I have grown a few bulk. I find them to be a very slow plant in veg. But in saying that I had 3 of them and pulled 6 lbs of them
Thanks for the feed back fellas.
Yeah the Bulk is an amazing strain all around the only bad thing I've ever heard about it reading on these forums is outdoors its very susceptible to mold and pests.
And that could have just been those growers conditions... you never know.

I had to build a base for my A/C to sit on so it's not blowing right on the plants. The leaves right at the door were it was blowing were curling down because they were to cold.
Everything seems to still be going good here's some new pics were on day 25 of flower. :eyesmoke:
