White Widow LED grow

CRZ · Jan 2, 2011

been in soil since Oct 20. miricle grow at first switched to fox farm. been using Advanced nutes sensi series grow A&B and cal bloom A&B and cal. started with a 60W flouro for a couple days switched to a 45W LED then added another, added another when i transplanted, before flowering added 300W LED. heres some pics. no particular order, but I'll work on that.

She hasn't been 100% healthy her whole life, and that's on me, pretty much just threw this together, but I have to say I am a huge fan of LEDs and think yet are fuckin tits.

Tell me what you guys think, I am eager to hear some opinions.

Subbed - in a couple of months I will be growing WW under LEDs - watching your grow could be useful.

its my first so take it with a grain of salt haha, im happy with her growth so far

Nice, I'm growing some WW as well (day 15 flowering)for my 1st indoor.

Thank you.

I had some problems with her, there was a stretch where I'm pretty sure I fed her way too much, and there was some build up, I flushed for about a week, and then resumed nutrients, and she's loved it.

I moved her into a different closet, she has a bunch more space, and is flourishing with light on three sides.

Most recently I started trimming her lower foliage, which is something I def should have done earlier, and getting more light to her innards, plus I've seen a noticeable change in how the buds are developing, much quicker, could just be timing tho haha.

Took some pics this morning showing my new home for her, there will be something a bit more elaborate next time.

Just some random nuggy

Another random offshoot, straight LED and with a flash.

Took pictures of the bottom half to try and show the development, since trimming the underside has gotten much healthier.

CRZ · Jan 4, 2011

Rather, bud development underneath has gone off, presumably because I let a lot more light in underneath.

Higher resolution pics tonight.

Little sneak peak at the new home, little crowded, but trimming and tying will fix that right up

Small kola

More pics of her new home, filter is going up today.

Trying to show all the clusters of nuggys all over her

looks very nice and bushy..

CRZ · Jan 5, 2011

Thank you sir. I have her filter installed and exhausting that bitch through the ceiling, total hack job tho

wyteberrywidow · Jan 5, 2011

as long as it works its all good

CRZ · Jan 5, 2011

Very true, yet to be seen tho, I know the filter works, gotta wait till everything turns back on to see how the exhaust works and what not.

The 300W LEDs produce quite a bit of heat on the top side of the light, from the power supply and other electronics. Mainly waiting to see if the duct work is sound so that the heat isn't in the tent or the room the tent is in, which is how it was before, essentially doing nothing, i needed the door open to exchange heat n

You can see two rows of dead lights, not happy about that. Thats China for you.

Lighter note, pretty much completely done with how I will want it for the rest of this grow.

Filter in.

same here, been thinking of adding LED to supplement my HPS in flowering,

CRZ · Jan 6, 2011

You really should, probably my favorite thing about them I'd how close you can get them, which can kind of suck since LEDs ate directional and junk.

So far I am really happy with them, I have literally had her touching the lights for DAYS without any consequence other than her being cramped.

CRZ · Jan 7, 2011

Nothing really to report today, out of town so these pics weren't taken by myself.

Trimmed up her undergrowth before I left, a bit of the canopy, tackling that when I get back tho, hope she's enjoying her rest.
