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

getting subbed to this grow.

Everything looks amazing brother. Great job. BTW, your wife sounds like a pretty cool chick to go for the black room. I got me one of those. Shes about to go get a card so that I can have a few more plants. I dont want a s**tload of em, just want to run 3 sets of 6 plants, one month a part so I am pulling a harvest every month.

I want to follow your grows for a couple reasons... The first being that the plants look great, and I been checking out LEDs. Right now Im on disability from back surgery, so money is a little tight. I figured after I get a few grows under me, then I will have a little extra cash to invest in my op.

In the mean time I might be picking your brain a little about the LEDs. I hear alot of back and forth about brands and bulbs and pretty much whatever. Truth be told LEDs sound great, I am just not educated enough on them to make the leap yet.

Giovanni, welcome aboard! I'm still a newbie myself, by no means do I consider myself an experienced grower. If you want to see how the LED really shines just check out Irishboy, Mmmmmick, Munki and several other big LED boys out there.

For sure I will check them out as well. I have been looking into the LEDs for a while like I said, but then you see all the ppl arguing over which ones are junk, blah-blah-blah.

Im currently growing w/ CFLs. You have any idea how much criticism I get from my pops and his buddies? They are old-school, outdoor, in soil guys. That is great if you have a bunch of property in BFE w/ no neighbors to rob you =). I dont have room for ventilation and extra stuff for HID lights. So I guess that is my basis for wanting to move to LED. I have seen some great grows online, but will have to wait a while before I can try it myself.

Day 42 12/12 update, pics are from day 41, yesterday.

I just fed the widows their last feeding of nutes a few hours ago, from here on they will just get PH 6.5 water and mollasses. She is staying true to form and should be done is 18 days or so, already 5% amber, shooting for 30% to 40% amber. Had a tester popcorn bud, all I can say is Niiiiiiice! Buds are hard as rocks.

Afghani milk is 50% cloudy 50% clear and the buds are as hard as rocks. I will let her go another week of feeding before her flush, she should come down a week after the Widow.

Rocklock is forming some nice flowers already. Hairs galore and I am really looking forward to growing this strain.

Hi BC, thanks for the props. I'm still working towards the kind of grows Munki and Irish are doing.

Your girls are looking great, loads of trichs on the widow and afghani. And the Rocklock continues to impress. I like the way that strain is taking off. looking good

Mmmmick, I agree about the Rocklock, it keeps impressing me too. I believe there are a couple of phenos and looks like I got lucky and got the faster one.

Here are a few quick pics.

Anyone know who I would have to speak with to change the title of my journal since it has turned to a perpetual? The "Day 25 12/12" is confusing to some and just want to replace that with "Multi-Strain Perpetual Grow".

I hope I get the same pheno in my Rocklock, looks great. So does the Papaya.

Here's a link to the staff at 420, message the appropriate member (moderator) and they'll be able to help you change your journal title.

looking good brother. Trying to get some extra cash together so that i can try out some LEDs. Im still checking out consumer reports and reviews on different brands. I dont really know alot about them, but apparently they are working out for you guys that are using them =)

You've got the green thumb, those look amazingly lush & healthy!

 

[j4s2u0]

Wow ur plants are looking great!
I love how compact some of them are,like that pic of the runt with the lighter,thats awesome,was that from seed???

 

[Batcave]

Giovanni, the LED's do work and I do recommend studying up on them as much as possible before making your purchase.

Endive, thanks man! I dont know about a green thumb, just trying to do what others have successfully done

j6s6u6, the small one with the lighter is a runt from a Auto Speedy Gonzoles, should be 18" to 2 feet tall. Yes it was from seed.
