C99 grow Samsung LED F strips

Just recieved my medical license for cannabis, running Female Seeds C99, 2 different pheno's, week 2 of flowering...

This an apartment gro, stealth is key especially smell and noise.
This is my first grow, i posted here so you can assist me if you get time, thx !

Here's some quick specs if you dont wanna read thru the bs:

Cinderella99 (C99) from Female Seeds (chosen for low odor, quick finish, and short)
LED- 14 Samsung F strips F562b on a meanwell driver 480h-24B adjustable with pot
Tents - Flowering 2'x4'x7' and Veg 2'x3'x5'
Coco - Canna coco with 20% perlite
Nutes - Flora Nova Bloom, Calmag, Hydroguard

more info later some pics !!

Btw, I am in the 2nd week of flower, I switched to 12/12 exactly 2 weeks ago today..
these were in veg for 6 weeks

The light strips are mounted on heatsinks with thermal tape, frame is 1" pvc, its very light~!!!

I've been experiementing with Wattage and distance with the light. Today running 326w at 18" which is just over 40w square foot (2'x4' tent)

From searching others C99 grows looks like I have 2 pheno's, the left plant is more squat are smells incedible like pineapple, and the right one was very lanky, thin long leaves with dbl serrasions on the leaves but hasnt grown any taller than the other pheno. It was also very picking with my newbie feeding, the other pheno (ppineapple) had no issues ever.




Hoping I dont run outta room, they are super bushy
I have been lolypopping up untill 12/12 switch, and topping/Lst thruout veg
I have read from some c99 growers that because C99 is such a short flowering period, 55-60 days, its NOT recommended to defolliate after the switch because its stunts growth slightly and with such a very short flowering you need everyday for this particular strain, so I'm going with that.




Dense in there, it was very open and airy just 2 weeks ago i promise !



Pineapple pheno, smells nothing like weed, very sweet pineapple smell

Grapefruit pheno

GF pheno






Pineapple pheno tops just forming, exciting!!!!

Looks good but if you're trying to go unnoticed then you'll need to get a carbon filter going. That low oder strain for c99 is BS, lol. She stinks but then again all weed plants stink, just some not as bad as others.

Good luck with everything and stay safe

I did, just read evrything from the Led threads, Its very easy, plug and play pretty much, havent sat down and added it all, maybe $400 total......strips,heatsinks,driver,wire,connectors,pvc frame...all diy.

Morning everyone, buds are forming ! 15 days into bloom,

anyone know how to take pictures on the phone without the yellow washout, the color in the picture is not what they look like.

pineapple pheno


grapefruit pheno

Good morning everyone, Sept 1, 2nd week of flowering (18 days since flip)

The stretch is on, and buds are forming










Pineapple pheno, lots of tops!

update, they seem to be growing ok, still getting a little bit of tip burn, cutting back nutes
canna coco, floranova bloom

been feeding @ 6.0 ph, runoff is 4.7 ph....whoa is this ok
ive had this thruout alot of the grow, wats up that anyone know?
i water once a day with 20% runoff somedays ill run 50% runoff.
is there an inbalance in the root zone for the ph to go in like that and come out so low ? build up of calmag?

I mean they seem to be growing ok, but i doubt im getting high performance, they are probably very difficient lol...

@ ph
Sounds like u need to flush emm / leach salts etc.

@ burnt tips
The additional water use in flowering also results in them ingesting more nutrients, which could = the burnt tips you're seeing.
With florabloom I think I topped out at like 3ml - 4ml per gallon when feeding/watering daily, plus like 1ml - 2ml per gal calimagic.

ive got a few waterfarms i'm gonna run next/ i've vegged some plants in a waterfarm and was super impressed, so the 2nd gro will be all waterfarms...i seem to have a hard time with coco, and waterfarms/dwc seems so easy to monitor...i luv the waterfall effect

its dwc with a waterfall...a win in my eyes


This is Bodhi's daydream, i had to cull it to keep under plant limit count, i had to take clones and this was just a test for a few weeks. fking impressive, super easy monitoring the plant loved it

If you’re not doing it, try using flash on when taking a pic, makes color more realistic.

Not sure about info you got on defol. I just got done doing dwc run of c99. I did complete defol (all fan leaves except 3 nodes at each tip) before 12:12, 1 during stretch, 1 at 3wks. 2 plants in a 2x3x6 cab w ~600w (actual draw) blurple, yielded 505g @ 10 weeks (~10% amber). YRMV, but big yield on bushy strains requires lots of light on buds.

ok
yea , ya know i trimmed these babies excessly thruout veg, and that was the plan. Super lollypopped and thinned out clean arms of buds.

but after reading this growers report on his female seeds version, he did both and recommended that for this plant dont defolitate i cut him back a week, and pretty sure that night i was smokin some sour deisel we just got here at our dispensary, oh man i need grow that....so who knows....

i'm gonna try it....its only a 55 day flower strain, max at 60, thats just insane

flash worked better, thx color now....nice yeild

yea man I'm set up for dwc on the next run, 6 weeks i cant wait

i see your growing super silver haze, ooooh i want, i got pure jack herer in seed ready to go just cause i wantted ssh....best of luck man

15days flip////pineapple pheno , color is better if i turn the flash on, thx man
this pheno is doing fine, always has, not picky about anything, and the one next to it is complete opposite, its always got diff or burn or sense to overwatering etc. not this one....

they are loving this led, cant get enough, while the plant next to it looks burning lol....





The sativa one
This one is changing smells, it was sharp sour citrus grapefruit, now very mellow only citrus as of right now.

This one is always a fight to keep green.... i think its burnning a little from the lights....
I've got the light running @ 350w and thats only for 8sq ft , 2x4.....
maybe not, could be a little nitrogen diff?

Beautiful. Very nice.

Sunday morning update 16 days into flowering

pineapple pheno , lots of tops, filled in nicely, scrogging seems to work i like it. thats just one plant.

since flushing the new top growth is getting light green, will start to up the nutes today....or dim the lights abit......think im pushing um too much?
hoping i can get the feeding right....id rather just get um nice and green and go easy on this first grow...









both plants, pineapple pheno left, sativa leaning pheno on right... pineapple has way more tops and generally is always healthier/greener looking.

Grow is looking well, can't see the under growth(can now since you uploaded them) in your last image, but if you haven't stripped all the leaves and shitass buds below the net now would be a good time. It will not stunt your growth when removing from below the screen at this stage it ill just send all the energy to where it's needed ie the canopy. If you do as mentioned don't up the feed strength for a few days after.
