one light one plant one pound....

I ran that in veg with poor results. More recently, I switched to 6 on and 2 off three times daily. This schedule works great! I'm also pushing a lot more light and this schedule helps keep both plants and room from getting too hot.

yeah I can imagine the plants thriving with it! How much is alot more light?

50% more than they were getting. 500W of CMH lights per trellis equivalent.

I fed her pretty heavy today @ 1240 ppm. the stretch I thought was slowing is back I've got little buds everywhere today is 24 days of 12/12 light cycle I'm really praying all these little buds start swelling up there is very little smell yet

I had previously stated I seen no advantage to feeding over 1000 ppm. but after thinking it over decided to make an exception here as I'm getting stretch & bud development at the same time I fed yesterday @ 1240 ppm. & had concerns I might of overdone it but this morning she is sitting at 1090 ppm. my goal is to make sure both bud development & the stretch are fed hand - in- hand while they will take it I hope I made a sound decision

not much change all my buds are in place the canopy could of went a little more even I'm impatient & want these buds to fatten up now & she comes back with she,ll do it in her own sweet time & yes I need patience & I need it now!

well I'm gonna fill in some of this waiting time with some of the feeding details I fed @ 1240 ppm. General hydroponics 3- part flora series nutes & schedule ph.was 5.6 I lower my ph. with lemon juice which here in California is cheap & abundant I don't et excited about ph. as long as it's above 5.5 or below 6.5 so I try to feed in the neighborhood of 5.7 generaly by a week later it's still below 6.5 but as the plant gets larger & the roots fill the res. ph. tends to rise a bit faster today is no exception @ 6.5 I'm running 6 gallons of nutrients I added 25 m/l of lemon juice & will take a ph reading this afternoon to see how much I lowered it

I've got mold on some of my lower growth so I'm combating that with a vengeance Ive added a fan focused just on the bottom growth the canopy has an oscillating fan I started running my heater last night humidity sits at 57% this morning I also sprayed & will repeat in a few days if it spreads up to the canopy I'm through I'm gonna seriously consider a different strain for my next grow possibly blue dream

still too early to tell but it's looking like I may of caught the mold in time I now have the heater on a timer

looking awesome, I will keep checking back for progress. Did a similar grow with one plant under a 1k of some Cheese. Turned out well, stoked to see your results.

thanks for your interest in my grow appreciate you dropping by I'm still n the learning curve & just kind of learning as I go both the led & the waterfarm are new to me

I'm hoping I have the mold stopped in its tracks since adding the second fan my humidity has dropped the added air circulation seems to have helped

Better air circulation is a great remedy for mold.

yeah I'm still on the learning curve for some reason since adding the led my fan leaves weep moisture from within with hid it happened at times but the led seems more intense & although cooler if I don't maintain 24 in. above the canopy I get this moisture the bottom fan is right at screen level which seems to dry the bottom of the canopy & the oscillating fan covers the top also thinned some of the bottom fan leaves to improve circulation

I'm hoping I've seen the last of the mold & im starting to get concerned a wee bit about the small bud size at this point it's been 29 days since the flip & this is a 9 week strain which puts my harvest around New Year's Day beings that his is sativa dominant I'm hoping these buds continue to swell

Glad to see the mold has fucked off mate! But like I said earlier, don't start the flower time from when you switched to 12/12!! Start from when you first noticed her flowering!
She looks like she's 2/3 weeks in! Be patient mate, she will swell up like fuck.

yeah she is 2 weeks since I spotted the first bud- nubbins I got an I-pad of my own now ( early b-day present) I think it takes better pics these are the first I'm thinking harvest shortly after New Years the bud hairs look a little brown but that's from the fungus spray they're not even close to turning on their own still a bit early but it looks like I got the mold in check & my humidity has dropped into the 45% range for the most part

Well she's looking mighty fine for 2 weeks mate. And yeah the pic quality does look better! Wish someone would buy me a new ipad lol

Nice grow so far, glad the mold is in check. look forward to seeing how this turns out. I never even thought about using leds. i may add a few to my setup.
