re: 420 Consumer Reports - GrowLEDHydro Spectra 300w LED / Lowryder II by Setting Sun
Here they are at 33 days.
Still not flowering, but they sure look ready. I'm reassured by reading several LR2 journals where flowering occurred later than advertised, so I'm going to wait a bit longer before flipping them myself.
These were genuine Joint Doctor's LR2 beans in the original breeder pack, so they are the real deal, just taking their time getting dressed for the ball.
The air stones *do* make a significant difference. They were kind of a pain when I had to move the pots, so I just left them out for a few days and the plants weren't as happy. After putting them back, I also experimented with just running them in one or two of the pots and comparing the bubbled pots versus without.
The plants are perkier with the bubbles and growth is faster. I was sorta hoping they didn't make any difference so I didn't have to hassle with them, but you'll see them back in these pics because I think the amount of hassle is probably worth it. It's really not that much additional work.
I really like this last pic. It shows the exuberance and personality of this strain. That's the one in the back in the tent pics with all three. She was late in sprouting and somewhat of a runt for a while, but now has turned into a little butterball, so that's what I'm calling her because she's round like a basketball. She must be a slightly different pheno and has always had a different branching pattern than her more conventional-looking sisters, whom I have named Perky and Halfway.
I only give plants names that have shown enough personality to have named themselves. Autos have never gone nameless.
The breeder says I can drop the light schedule to 16/8 without sacrificing yield, so I will do that tonight. Maybe the extra couple hours of sleep will help push them along into flowerville.
