G-Force LED closet grow

Couple of changes since last pics were posted.

Have removed a few of the metal pegs holding the branches down and re-bent them to now pull the branches more outwards and down by hooking them over the edge of the pot, due to the branches wanting to go to the light they were pulling the pegs out of the soil, this has also now allowed more light to the inner cola's.

She was plain watered a couple of days ago and has signs of nute deff. Just before pics taken she was fed with full strength Chempak No.8 (12.5/25/25) hopefully she'll respond well now, next watering is with again plain water, when she dries out.

Not really for this thread but as related to this grow.

I've been busy making a new use for my led's that i used for the vegging part of this grow, so i'm building a pc grow box for 3 off them to live in. Not finished yet have lights to install at top of case and wiring to fit in with a 12volt convertor to run the extractor fan.

Not for serious growing but will allow me to have some clones, seeds starting while my closet is finishing off flowering, once the babies in the pc grow box out grow the case i'll be able to move them in the main closet to finish vegging or put straight into flower.

Been a change to feeding schedule had to go away for a few days then ended up being 5 nights away so had 2 waterings of plain water, was very dry tonight but has now has a nice feed of more full strength Chempak No.8.

She looking very good, removed some of the old leaves and had to raise the lights as getting too close she's had a little growth spurt in last 5 nights, no burning to her tho, very lucky. Buds looking very good, feel quite firm and sticky as hell .

I think change of nutes was good choice she looks much happier on the chempak nutes seen more growth of the buds since she's been on them, the bio canna is good but nute levels very low at only 2.5/2.5/5 compared to new nutes 12.5/25/25 and the chempak nutes are so cheap cost me less then 6quid for the box very good value.

Extractor fan broke down 2 nights ago, everytime i walked past the room the grow closet is in i could smell her she's very smelly, couldn't tell when extractor was working how much. Had to do a bit of a cowboy job and transform my circulating fan into an extractor made a adaptor out of cardboard to go from rectangle to 4 inch round of the ducting, lots of gaffer tape later had another extractor in fact it's actually better takes out more air lol.

Not posted any pics for a while so thought i'd take a few tonight and post them up.

Just had a full strength feed of chempak No.4 15/15/30 will probably keep her on these ferts now till she finishes except while i'm flushing her with plain water.

First pic shows i've replaced the LED with a CFL thought might help better with the smaller colas being farther away from the main 250watt CFL


This pic shows the whole grow closet as it is at the moment


This pic shows the shoot i tried to FIM but did too late will try again one day but while still in veg, has 3 tiny colas on it but the whole shoot is full of bud so not too bad


Took this pic for a size comparison as most temp/hydro meters are the same size roughly


Just a couple shots of her again with meter as size comparison

When do you think I should start flushing, She's 42Days since flowers first showed and 53Days since been on 12/12. G-Force is a 60-65Day flowering strain but as a noob don't know if that is since going 12/12 or when flowers show, and should i flush for 1 week or 2. Many thanks and rep to anyone with some sound advice.

thanks Smokeyjoes

how'd it go? im 3 weeks into flowering a gforce and I'd like to see some pics or somethin

She was given a weeks flushing with plain water, then 2 days total darkness. She got the chop after the 2 days and hung on string in the grow closet kept the extractor on and circulated the air, only took 4 days to dry out fully.



After the 4 days, cut the buds of the stems and stored them in 3 glass jars. I weighed the grow and was very pleased to find i'd grown 2 1/4 ounces. In fact my friend who had given me the clone and grown his under a 600watt bulb with ballast, only got 1 1/3 ounce per plant. Took some to a friends house and had a smoke and was told top notch, best in a long while. I was pleased especially for a first grow.

Now onto the next grow and a redesign on the closet to put together all the mods i've put in over this grow. Need to get my new extractor fan first as had to make a temp one up after my cheap 4inch bathroom one died can't cope with running for a long period so getting a 4" LTI Systemair RVK A1, and a temp controller to run the fan so will turn it off or slow it down when not needed.

Hope everyone enjoyed this grow, sorry to the LED fans that i didn't do the whole grow on LED's but found they were excellent at vegging and kept electric bills down. have built a pc grow closet to use the LED lights and should do well there as am goin to bubble clone in the closet and LST a mother in there unlesss she gets too big.

Good Job man...way better than my first grow. Are you gonna do the Gforce again?

Trying to bring her back to life, reveg her but unsure whether she will recover. I did leave some green and a bit of bud on her, when i chopped her to try to reveg but probably very stressed with the harvest. There is signs of life still in her, she has been on the windowsill for a week getting real light but moved her back into the closet under the LED's on 24hrs light to see if she will grow again if she does i'll take cuttings and root them in a bubble cloner, one will become a mother plant and i want 4 more to hempy in the closet as a small SOG or more than 4 depends on how many i can get around the same time.

Definately want to keep G-Force for now the bud is super strong and smokes really well, and being so strong you can use less so your stash lasts longer.

Hope your G-Force comes out as well Ganjaman, it's good stuff how are you growing it and what setup and nutes you got?
