I now have food up 750 ppms still every three days so far, and adding worm casting teas with some goodies. Now that the sex is showing I was expecting the flowering to get busy, they really haven't formed any bud yet. Is this normal ? The sex showed on one last week and the rest followed each day. The plants totally went 50/50 and they are looking great. This cross is turning out to be a keeper.
hybrids and sativas, avoid pure indicas unless you pack em very tight, they usually stay very short. I helped my buddy and things are going so well we ran out of room in the small space, plants can get quite big 12/12 from seed. I posted a pics on this thread of this current grow and we have been fighting for the last 2 weeks because plants are 6'' from the lights and keep stretching like mad .. it's a jungle ... it went too well!
yea, i've seen all kinds of pictures where they stretch out like crazy! and the colas are fat as hell. gotta love it! saw where someone had to go back to 400 from 600 because they were growing too fast and kept reaching the lights after multiple adjustments.
Green you got awesome results with LED man, but the thing is, how much did you spent on all those chips? I want LED to beast it out so bad! But it doesn't do it like HPS. Sure you could go 1000w of LED and get mmmmmm 70% or so of what an HPS 1000 would pop out, but 1000w of LED is like $2000-$4000 depending on quality!!
H ang g, co co or canna, woul love it. You could do an ebbflow with a bunh of little co co.
I got my first LEDs at a discount price for having a journal, afterward I did pay full price for a couple units (1500$ for a 600w, times 3), but the best units I have have never failed me (I did have to fix the first expensive fixture I ever bought, today actually!! it didnt cost me anything only time) and if they work as advertised, I won't have to spend money on lighting for well over 10 years. It's been around 2 years I think for most of my lights. The 3 Area51 I have are still working 100% I really think these lights will go forever. And they don't lose intensity so you never have to worry that your bulbs are on their way.
