Interesting light. subbed

Day 24 of Flowering I cut a ton of fan leaves off and supported the heavy branches with hemp twine. I'm really hoping to get a good nug-of-the-month entry from this batch.

looking great Cloud, reps for sure, im interested in that style of light, seems to be the best of both worlds, COB and single diodes all the spectrums the COB's dont have, very cool

Day 29 of 12/12 Strung up more branches and gave my res a semi-flush.

 

[Light Addict]

Just found your journal. Simply Wow! Not much else to say but yeah Im finally subbed.

Looking fantastic Cloud, Did you do any defoliation or topping after you flipped to 12/12? Your buds are looking thick dude!!


Edit: I see from your recent post you did remove some fan leaves.. huh..My grow is 15 days ahead of yours and your buds, just look so much juicier. I'm still learning, its a work in progress. Nice work man.

 

[CloudFactory]

Thanks a bunch Stealth! Doin my best but I have a list of things to improve for the next time. Lighting is definitely not my limiting factor though.
Yeah I only topped 3/6 of them once at about 2-3 weeks. During flowering I pull off every fan leaf that is shading a bud-site. I think for my next grow I will do fewer plants and top them more like yours.

Day 34 of 12/12 almost all branches need support. Some hairs are turning orange. Hoping to get them 3x as fat by then end of it.

Mmmm a frosty selection of bountyous beauties my friend. Very nuggalitious indeed! Keep it up sir!

Nice buds, I'm fairly certain I will go LED in the future, probably the next upgrade I will make, in fact.

 

[LED Acolyte]

That is such a damn fine day 34

Day 40 of 12/12 Pretty sure that I stunted them a bit with the heavy trimming. They are getting there though. I think that im going to hit them with the MOAB again soon.

Day 49 of 12/12....disaster has struck. Found my water pump completely dead the other day. Opened it up and found it completely filled with roots. Plants were damaged, I had to cut one completely. Will probably chop the rest soon. Still plenty to salvage put they will never reach their full potential now fucking beware home-made hydro box companies...god damn

you can get a pump filter bag for your water pump to sit inside.

https://www.horticulturesource.com ecoplus pump filter bag 10 x 12.5 large-size

 

[CloudFactory]

ah cool. Havnt seen those before. Looks like it would have helped a lot. You got my vote for MotM dude. Pretty sure that Im going either aeroponic or coco next round though.

 

[Growingnow]

If you cant find a pump filter bag go to fish store and get a prefilter for the intake or panty hose will work just as well if not better and be cheap as shit so when u need to replace or just want to replace you are not out much

 

[CloudFactory]

For sure, thanks guys. There were many other problems with this system like no drainage and f*d up hoses so Im going to toss it and go coco next round, or at least get a better hydro system. I just finished harvesting and its drying now. I'll have the total yield and conclusion soon.
