First Indoor Grow Cheese Seedling Day 19 CFL & LED Soilless Mix Growbox

[Still Vegging Bro]

That's about the same as my blurple. A light meter is tuned more to the yellow/green part of the spectrum where our eyes are most sensitive.

Alright so lux meter is out for the led then... I have already tested the 6400k 85w CFLs they give off 5200 lumens/ lux each as indicated on the packaging ... actually surprised and the 2 little 2700k cfls give off 950 lumens each, so I'm safe there but this LED no clue even been reading up on the spec's cant find it.

You may be able to find a PPFD map for it, but I don't think it really necessary. I suspect that your plants will need to be directly under the light, and less than 6" away from it before you see any evidence of light burn.

Hey brother I'm with @Old Salt on this one. She definitely looks hungry! Now that she's in full flower mode she'll be hungrier than usual as she's got all those flowers to fill out!
Have a lekker week bro

Alright thanks alot,I will adjust nutes and keep led at a decent height. Should I give her a flush before I up the nutes or can I just go ahead? Thank you for having a look

Getting some cal mag on Monday finally found some unfortunately 3 weeks into flower

 

[irie lion]

She'll thank you for it, it's never too late.

She just needs to perk up and start getting fat loads of white hairs and some sugar leaves starting

 

[irie lion]

She's getting there!

My temp has been going down to 15 Celsius during Dark periods and 24 lights at Max ,we going into winter. I dont have a heater for the grow area should I buy 1? How bad is 15 Celcius for my flowering lady?

That's the temperature the heater in my tent is set at. It can get up to 26°C with the lights on during the winter. I try keep the humidity above 40%, but that isn't always possible in winter.

Alright thanks alot so I should be safe cause I have seen at the hottest time in the grow box it hits 26 for about an hour then lights go out... is 12/12 perfect for flower? Friends of mine say they only do 14 dark 10 lights on after week 3 flower.

It's getting cold in Cape Town and my grow is averaging the same temps as yours, 15c is perfectly fine. If you start getting to 10-12c every night i'd consider a heater. It's only getting colder from here onwards so i'll probably grab one when we are in the middle of our winter. Colder temps bring out some great colours in some strains, so i love it when we get to this time of year. If you are having humidity spikes in the evenings get a heater, it will help.

I have always flowered on a 12/12 schedule. If you'd like to speed up the ripening process go ahead and increase your dark period, but your yield may be effected.

Yeah I'm going to stick with 12 12, and I have heard that too that the colder temps can change some strains positively and some the complete opposite.

Here's a bit of an update on how she is looking definitely showing signs of recovery since cal mag came into the picture. Day 29 since the switch and I found out by the friend who gave me this seed and another strain that its actually Bag Seed

 

[irie lion]

That's all good brother bagseed is great, it's a surprise smoke! I've got a bagseed going now in my journal, and it's smelling like rotten granadilla or something similar. Plant is looking good!
