Re: 300W LiteBrite (LED) Multi-strain grow Day 25 12/12

hey BC great update. They look like they're coming along well.

Good point about the slow approach. I think rushing into things caused a lot of the grief in my earlier grows.

Thanks HH!
They are doing good under the LED's, but the 120w looks to have just a tad thicker buds, might just be me though. I have a second 120w panel on the way which will replace the two 90w ufos. The UFO's will go into the veg/clone cab.

Day 35 of 12/12.

Things are looking good and the widows are starting to fill out nicely, Afghani Milk looks like she will end up with golf ball buds, and the Rocklock is just starting to show her pubes. All of them got their first full flush this past Wednesday and restarted nutes (Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, Calmag+, and Atami Bloombastic) at 50% yesterday. Next feeding will be at 75% and Mollasses will be added to the mix. Rocklock got her 2nd supper cropping this past Friday and has responded well.

Looking good...what is the brand of LEDs you are using?

Re: 300W LiteBrite (LED) Multi-strain grow Day 25 12/12

These girls are lovin' your setup. Looking very healthy in there. Nice!

I think it's about time your journal got some ratings. 5 stars.

Day 14 of the DNA Genetics Rocklock 12/12

I guess I should start adding the RockLock to my updates since she showed her first hairs yesterday at day 13 of her 12/12. The Rocklock has been super-cropped to grow outwards just like the Afghani Milk and has been super-cropped twice, no more pinching from this point on. If you look back to my 9/2 update you can see she had only been pinched once, second pinch did the trick nicely. She will stay in her 1 gallon bag since she is just a test subject, one clone is ready for a 2 gallon smart pot and the other clone will kick it as a mom for awhile.

Top shot...Nice coffee cup huh?

Here you can see the super-cropped areas and how they have allowed for a decently even canopy.

Already seeing a few trich's

Great job on the supercrop BC, good control. She's behaving well for you, knows who is in charge.

nice thick stems and branches, look like they expect to carry some weight. Nice!

Thanks man, I am more partial to super-cropping than I am "tying down" LST since I use grow bags and soft sided smart pots. Here is a size reference shot of the Rocklock stem for you

Update on the Rocklock clones at 12 days from cutting, rooted in 6 days.

Veg cab has a 125w CFL daylight 6500k bulb with the new addition of two 24" T5 fixtures in the back corners.

Clone #1 is in a 2 liter coke bottle with the Fox Farm mix and is growing nicely since her rooting 6 days ago. She will be the mom and will be moved to a 2 gallon smart pot soon.
Clone #2 is in the FF Mix and doing well in a 1/2 gallon plastic pot and will soon be moved to a 2 gallon smart pot to prepare for the flowing tent.

I also have a Auto Speedy Gonzales/Speedy Ganja (NYC Diesel x Shark Attack x Lowryder #2) at 8 days old from sprout in the veg cab. This one will probably just live in the veg cab under 20/4 lighting.

Just dropped 4 TGA SubCool 3rd Dimension (Apollo 13 x Jack The Ripper x Jack's Cleaner) seeds into some water and liquid seaweed. It will be part of my Fall and Winter grow, so I want to get a head start on it, take some clones and go from there. Hoping to find a decent mom out of the 4 seeds, and a decent male for pollen collection. By the time the flowering tent is finishing the 3D's should be ready to go into it. The 3D's are suppose to be 45 to 55 day strain, we will see.

Hey BC, you don't need LST when they take to supercropping like that.

The clones are looking good and Speedy seems off to a great start as well.

Veg cab and light update.

I removed the 125w cfl and the two 24" T5's from my veg/clone cab, they have all been replaced with a 120w Quadband. The plants in the cab are loving the new LED panel, so now I have two 120W panels in the 4x2x5 tent and one in the veg cab. I will be picking up a 2x2x5 tent this week and the two extra 90w ufo's will go in there, or maybe the 120w and use the 90's for the veg cab, dont know just yet. The new 2x2x5 tent will just have one single plant at a time, specialty strains, the main tent will be for multi-strains, SOG, etc.

My veg cab is pretty simple, it is just one of those $36 Sterilite 2 shelf plastic cabinets (26"x19"x36") from walmart, without the shelves. $20 cheap 4" duct booster fan, $35 4" OdorSok filter, $9 4" mini fan, and lined with two walmart car window reflectors $1.96ea, outside sprayed black. I could see where this would make for a great Auto-Flower box for cheap, minus the lighting. It lives in the back of my spare closet.

Here are a few quick pics of the veg cab and the Rocklock clones, the Speedy Gonzales, and the fastest TGA 3D. The other three TGA 3D's have just cracked the surface and will be added to the veg cab once they start their first true leaves.

Auto Speedy Gonzales

TGA Subcool 3D Third Dimension, fast little sucker that only cracked and placed in the rooter 48hrs ago and the other 3 are not far behind. This is supposed to be TGA's fastest strain.

Re: 300W LiteBrite (LED) Multi-strain grow Day 25 12/12

Looking good BC, nothing better than more light!!

Nice tight node spacing on Speedy. The rocklocks are taking to the topping and supercropping very well. TGA's might be faster than Speedy. Very nice!!

Re: 300W LiteBrite (LED) Multi-strain grow Day 25 12/12

I have 6 more of the TGA 3D seeds and have seriously thought about seeing how one or two would do straight 12/12 from seed. Once I find a mother I will do some 12/12 clones straight from rooting, mini-SOG.

The Speedy G is definately short and tight, currently at day 14 and should show sex in a few days or so. Might have to give the Speedy G a 90w ufo all to itself.

Re: 300W LiteBrite (LED) Multi-strain grow Day 25 12/12

A mini-SOG might be cool. I'm trying to get my plant numbers down a bit. Got a little too involved with 2 led trials at once.

I still want to run the 90w UFO for a grow or two just to see what it can do. Should do a great job on Speedy.

Re: 300W LiteBrite (LED) Multi-Strain Grow Day 25 12/12

Day 15 for the Auto Speedy Gonzales and SHE just showed her first hairs this morning. Very bottom set of leaves turned a slight yellow when moved to the FF mix 7 days ago and havent seen any change in them since, everything else is nice and green. Not bad for only popping one seed just for the heck of it and will do a seed run with the other 9 if I like it.

Re: 300W LiteBrite (LED) Multi-Strain Grow Day 25 12/12

congrats on Speedy confirming her sex.
Robust looking lil girl. Widebody heheh
