BF Afghan Coco/Growstones Grow Sponsored By MightyGrow 2017

Tut is basically an AK47 phenotype, i dont think it will get leggy like an OG.

Good news!! So the avg 1 month veg is good or less you think?

Feeling any better about things?

Ive always had high hopes for mgo but the schedual wasnt for our size plants. More tailored for big out door ones and MGO has been AWOL so we have had to figure it out for ourselves and i still dunno if what im doing is right. Hopefully they stay well through harvest.

I saw ferci recomended splicing and using it on the dc side so i think what you have is a little different. I have mine plugged inbetween the wall and the driver so its an A/C monitor. You will have to connect yours to the d/c side bewteen lights and driver.

@ Man BF, those girls have grow really well.
Time to take them to a spectacular finish!

@@ Yes, Those Drok multi-monitor are great for "A" type drivers. They have a built in shunt on the current side. And an internal power resistor.
Makes them very easy to install.

@@@ Unlike your "B" drivers require "pots" also.
Wiring can be done from either side of the driver. You would need an external power source (9volt battery) if wired on the DC side.



I wish all leds had dimmers!! They are the best!! And they dont affect spectrum when u dim like hps!

@ Great and easy if all diodes were of the same power rating.
Difficult to do with different max volt ratings of diods on the same board.

Alien pollen collected, and MORK HAS MEET THE GALLOWS!

Room for more girls!

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Yeah the drivers they send with hlg are nice. Like the dimmer is on the driver. Man thats awesome!! Spread those alien genetics!! I thought about collecting and cutting the plant for more space but im nervous if something goes wrong i dont have a back up

 

[Furcifer]

Yea, having a male pop up with some very desirable traits. Couldn't pass on the opportunity.
I don't have a separate space to deal with one.
Left me with a one time chance on collecting without contamination.

Checked this morning and two flowers were open.
Closed him up with a large dehumidifier set at 40% in the bathroom for 4 hours.
Around 3 dozen flowers were open.
Was able to coax a few more to release pollen.
Killed MORK and sterilized everything twice.
A LOT of work but, I hope well worth it.
Oh, yes we will spread the genetics.

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Thats awesome ferci! Got some great pollen there!

The power must have went out. Came home to lights on. Turned the timer to the right time but have it set to turn on around 10 or 11 am. Then after tomorrow ill set it back to its normal on time

 

[Pennywise]

I hate when power goes out, happens here 3-4 times a year on avg.

BF, I have a question for you. Will this cob led cover my 4x4 space with at least the grow power of a 600w hps ? HollandStar LED Grow Light Full Spectrum 1000 Watt/1200W for Indoor Plants Veg and Flower (1200W)

Sorry for the late reply been crazy busy. I just looked up that light and i dont recomend it. Check out the 420 sponsors or build up a qboard. You will be disapointed with the light. Says 200w at the wall 1000 watt equivalent if we are looking at the same light. Qboards are the cheapest option for what you get. I recomend hlg kits but if you want something prebuilt maybe stick to a proven 420mag sponsored company.

Hey alrigjt illi im in

This style of growing has been very difficult for me and requires a lot of time and attention. I got real busy this week and now they took a little dive.

Gave them a flush added bloom fertilizer and also some lime. Gave them more water. Hopefully they start getting better.

Dam, what happened ? They were looking great a couple days back ?

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Think a mix of things. Not enough water and not enough food. Have to put 4 tbsp frequently but it varies. During stretch i was giving them 4 tbsp every 2-4 days and they loved it!

 

[Pennywise]

Just feed em and they should bounce back quickly, they were growing really fast so just a little depleted.

 

[Archiweedies]

Looking good BF what is it about this grow that you found is more taxing?

 

[Furcifer]

Ouch!
You have this!
Looks like you got a little behind on the watering and feed.
Bring them back brother, a whole lot of nice meds there.

Thanks pw!! you confirmed my thoughts. It shouldnt progress and they look happier today just not like they did lol!

This style of growing requires a lot of attention and a close eye. I got really busy early in the week and in a few days they went down hill. Aside from that there is no schedule for my indoor purposes so i had to come up with that and also wish mgo was around to offer advice. I figured it out though. I cant give them too many tbsp or they burn so i have to apply more frequently

Ouch!

Ouch is right fercie! Was really looking forward to a perfect harvest but maybe my next grow will go better. I was def behind on the feeds and the water i guess i didnt give them enough but we should be back on track now. Hope it doesnt affect yeild too much! Thank you so much ferc! You and penny arr always on it!!

 

[Pennywise]

I think im getting the hang of this organic style .

 

[Furcifer]

My tds/EC combo went tilts up.
Been going by "hope I've got this right" for a couple of days.
Burned some tips...might be new light source cause....but, still backed the nutes down.
Sounds like MGO is in line as a micro feed..less more often.
Few more weeks to go.
WOOHOO!

 

[Pennywise]

Id be pissed if my Guardian meter up and died on me.

 

[Furcifer]

Not happy with support from BL.
Since its purchased from eBay. No standard warrantee from manufacturer.
Also fine print recommends a surge protector. First question asked from them.

Should have bought from authorized distributor.
Glad it wasn't a guardian.
