300w cfl grow

[growpie]

heres my first rollitup grow each of them babies are under 4x23w cfl for total of 276w. grown in soil and have been in veg for 3 weeks now

the total available grow space is bigger than what is shown here because i surrounded the plants with mylar and cutting off empty space where i could without doing it to much to cut off on light lost, thats also the idea thats expected of those homemade can reflectors which i hope cut off light loss.

theres 9x6700k
3x2700k

little experiment im running keeping 1 warm spectrum during veg and will be keeping 70% warm to 30% cold ratio read its good from density and keeping it fron too much stretch

 

[growpie]

i am not completely new to growing but anykind of advice will be taken seriously and as feedback so please dont hesitate i feel alone in here -.-


i thought id list a few info here about those babes


id : pure power plant

born : cut moms fingers ( clones )

date of conception : i chopped most of the old grandma down 3 weeks ago so they are 3 weeks old.

what i feed em : i force plantprod 30-10-10 down there throat. i plan on using plantprod 20-20-20 during there flowering they currently use about 1/2-2/3 of dosage on nutes

they sit in soil don't ever plan on going hydro im good old green thumb earth gardener. perlite, limestone, peat moss mix

ph sits arround 6-6.5
temps are between 80-90 considering its the hottest time of years and theres 40 celsius felt temps i think its ok abd they dont seem to mad about it .. i have 6" fan blowing air within the room and an ac pushibg air in at 24 celsius the blower for air outtake is suppose to be installed this week but were not sure yet the one we have used to be for a 4000w room so were not sure bout wantibg to fix such a big filter for such a small room ....


ohh yeah and i keep there lights between 4" and 6" of the individual plants even though the bigger one is starting to really appreciate the other ones light due to the wide size its been getting recently.

that being said LET THE FUN BEGIN 1 week left till flowering if i dont feel too greedy and feel size is acceptable

hello hello heres todays update a branch i lst yesterday is starting to heal nicely thats about it... they got about 0,5 inch

 

[growpie]

good mornin' all hope theres gonna more feedback in a near future hehehe


ohh yeha i just noticed the brown stuff sticked to the wall in one of my pics just reassuring people it is not dirtiness ! x) simply a sticky roll for flys that got onto the wall cause of my fan

Looks good man! Lst is the shit. Just came back from leafly - they say your strain is a bomb!

 

[growpie]

i dont lst too much i use it to accomodate lower branches that cant seek light due to low light penetration of cfls but i try not to do it too much specially when i can just change the leafs disposition to hide the bigger fan leaves under new growth... but thanks on strain feedback and all appreciated

 

[growpie]

will post pictures later today i haven't checked on em since yesterday probably gonna be a plain water feed today earth seemed to be started to get dry were 3-4 days before i switch em to 12/12 im pretty exited can't wait to see them heads... happy smocking all

 

[growpie]

[growpie]

heres a little update i decided to keep them veg 1 more week i didnt get time to install ac-in and the air outtake

 

[growpie]

I am in the process of transplanting them from there 1.5 gallon in there final 3.5 gal. the big one has been transplanted yesterday has it was starting to have downward benting leafs and I know there healthy, 2 hours after leafs were backup , I cut the pots instead of trying to remove it and the whole piece stayed together, as minimal stress as possible. it wen't super smooth, which is why ill be waiting on the 2 others to start showing sign a bit so they will really have hold of the whole earth in the pot and then ill transplant

pics tonight !


OHHH yeah Lighting was initially 24/0 since light are going 12/12 in a short therms, lights have been reduced to 18/6
