it's there to help the people that are just a little slow. and maybe to show that led cant grow weed. I guess hps is the only thing that can grow the precious herb. The red pill or the blue pill u decide. some matrix shit is going on

Well day 49 the smells are just getting stronger and stronger everyday. Getting some colors in while their starting to fade.

Looking good. Have the stems always been purple or is that something that has started with the fade?

Just the strain I can try my best with adding epsom won’t change a single thing. What I noticed is I really need to add 1 gram to a gal or something close to that up to week 5 then once my plants start eating pk they have quite a bit in the feed for bloom. Once I get past stretch I’m fine.

What was the wattage draw of your HPS? Was it equivalent to the wattage drawn by your LEDs? Read so many good reviews on the HLG 600 so I'm surprised to see that statement wherein LED can't grow weed! Did you measure umol and par in your canopy area?

Just invested in HLGs and Spiderfarmer LEDs to test out ... Measured the spiderfarmer sf4000 with my Apogee MQ 500 light meter and it came out at 1200 umol at 24 inch distance from LED to the Canopy

I kind of was fucking around with that comment more poking fun at other members. I haven't used hps in a while just because of the heat. i had a 600 in the middle of a 4x8 and led on the sides to cover the rest of the area I think the total power usage for the 4x8 was around 1100-1200. I would happily grow with blurple /hps / led / cmh / etc ill grow with anything if I could. people say blurple cant grow weed even though u easily can.


I would like to get a par meter but I'm at a stage where it's probably not worth it id prob use it rarely and infrequent. now if I had a big flowering room I most likely would.

At the moment I'm in a 5x5 running hlg and cutter. I think I'm running 820-850 watts on them all spread out pretty evenly.

well prob gonna drop the power usage pretty soon I thought it was around 820-850 jokes on me it was at 920. looks like everything is now just gonna fill out, does anyone else drop power consumption a bit around the last 2 weeks or so? I'm guessing probably another 2 weeks or so total. not much new growth pistil-wise, they might just start going crazy in a week or they will finish up. most likely will update in a week or so.

Well day 51 smelling extremely good looks like it’s now packing some weight up. Out of the two I think I like pheno 1 better than 2 just because the buds are looking so damn nice. Pheno 1 is the first 5 pics, Pheno 2 is the next 4 pics. Pheno one looks cookie dom to me while pheno 2 is looking a bit more Sativa. going to be a green christmas.

I have already set my sf2000 over my auto down to 80% and raised it to 20".
Just a weird idea in my head, but I think backing off on light is what happens outdoors. Less sun.. but still light out.
Hoping it shows me a reason to do it again.

well chopped off some of the lower branches that looked like they weren't going to do anything anymore. I only chopped from pheno 2 because it's the lankier one and the only one with flopping branches. Just a little terp report it smells like apricot peach jam and it smells so damn good. I can't wait might have to keep both of them just because they both shine in their own ways. Just thinking about it is making my mouth drool.

Day 55 more pistils coming in and looking like they're chunking up, smells are just getting more intense.
prob won't be the best of yield but the buds look pretty good.

well had to take most of the one down all the colas were just looking done and they were pretty floppy. other strain is going for a few more days. Trim jail here I come.

Well I’ve been running low on my stash so I kinda just said fuck it and threw her into flower too early and Barely gave her attention just busy with life I didn’t even get her into a net. 12/12 started 9/26 she’s flowering really fast. pretty sure i burnt her a little bit but not terrible.

Damn almost a year later

took me a while to go thru all the shit I grew from last harvest. I didn't want to keep growing just cause I didn't want to do anymore work than I had too but I do have some hash from last harvest that I've been smoking a lil bit of. narcotic as hell great before sleep. I need to go check the strip club though its been a few weeks since I checked up on it I do like how you got everything going clean as fuck.

I’m not dead yet here is this years weed grow. Low ph issues and neglect but 6-7 weeks it looks ok. @bk78 the yearly check in is here come one come all. last years harvest came out to a nice smoke I hope this years is fine too looking like it can be good could’ve used more food in general.

ive been doing as well as i can be with everything going on in the world. Stopped taking pills and all the extra stuff i was on lost around 100lbs in kg that's like 45?, but generally much more healthier since i started worrying about my own health mental and physical and not killing myself over other people.

Hell fucking yeah dude!

Another update half a year later. Got some new Twenty20 strain running into flower after a bunch of setbacks I'm once again back to flowering. This time leaning more sativa on this grow last grow finished in under 8 weeks from switch but were aching to be let into 12/12 so they could be smoked. At least these girls look pretty healthy going into the last track of their lives gonna be a long while, Got my support up for them already It's just easier to have it up already. @bk78 u got anything growing i looked saw zilch from recent.
