Graytail's 3rd: 4x4, HiBrix, Latest LED Tech, Lots Of Light!

Thanks for the help, guys. :thanks:

I hit it with pretty much everything today. :laughtwo: I topdressed with recharge and EWC, gave it a teaspoon of epsoms, and a Super Drench with 1 oz of Transplant and 2 ml Tea. Then I stuck it in the bloom room under the Advanced LED XML 350 at 28 inches away. The pics were taken with just the 10W Cree whites turned on - I love this panel! :slide:

Wish me luck! :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
She is looking great. I love her round shape on top and trianglar from the side. Nice work.
 
This is when all us DBHBB growers need to come together. Its something im sure none of us have seen in kit soil...well, I know I havent! This is the time we can all learn something.
Sorry Gray but I'm not experienced in deficiencies either. Wish I could be more help!
 
Plant looks great from here. Love the pics with that light. No purple or yellow for a change - just beautiful green!
I'm looking forward to the results of your multi-pronged drench attack on the ... (deficiency)? :thumb:
 
That light certainly does show the plant off nicely. Also sitting off to the side watching this one recover and just listening in on the discussion. I don't even have a link to a deficiency chart, (nor do I want one) so this will be a good chance to learn.
 
I had to upcan some plants today and had to pull everything out of its place, so I took pics for an update. :tommy:

I'll start with the BH x BB. Y'know it's a lot more fun to cultivate cannabis when you have a plant in bloom. :straightface: Finally, I got one to escape the veg room of doom and grow up enough to bloom. :bravo: She's really perked up since the heavy drench and recharge. I don't know if the pics will show it, but the upper leaves have that translucent bright green glow to them, stiff and reaching. :cheesygrinsmiley: Very nice to see.

Orange Hill Special is coming along nicely - frankly she's been coming along nicely all her life. This plant has been a breeze to grow. I have a well developed canopy now and in another week or two I'll put her into bloom. :slide:

I upcanned Panama, Desfran and Tikal today and I'll have to decide how to train them soon. I'll give 'em a week or so in the new soil, first.

Tikal has been the strongest plant of the three, all stalky and big-leafed. I think I'm going to like this one a lot.

Panama is a week younger than the other two and is keeping right up. :cheesygrinsmiley:

And Desfran is gonna be a challenge. I think I may top this one and keep it in veg longer - try to grow a good base foundation. The fluffy ones I've bent over have turned into messy things.

The BH crosses, xNexus and xDestroyer are doing well, evenly matched. :cheesygrinsmiley:

I'm gettin' jonesed about another seed buy, so I'm not sure where I go next - gotta get some more in soil. I still have a couple crosses to run, one of which is Carnival x Utopia Haze - sounds promising. :cheesygrinsmiley: I see Dr Grinspoon is available again, and I think I want to run a HSO Blue Dream. I have to do NepJam again, too - mine just up and died one day. :straightface: Taskenti from Cannabiogen looks very interesting. I have to grow a fine indica one of these days, and I have some Afghan regular freebies already, so that might be fun - Uzbekistani hashplant, why not? :cheesygrinsmiley:

I also wanted to show how I'm using this Par-Force panel from Smart Grow Technologies. I delivers 400+ umols at 12 inches over a 18x48 inch footprint. I've been vegging in cups under CFLs and then slipping them under the Par-Force when they go into 1.5 gals, and I've been running them at about a foot from the panel. Now that they're in 6 gallon pots, I can still fit three under the panel, and I'll see how they respond. 400 umols should be enough. About 190 watts draw, 764 diodes, BIG footprint, VERY cool running. And they dropped the price. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Looking good.
I like that panel very god size and wattage.

How old is your Panama ?

Just chopped an Afghan freebee after 9 weeks I could sell as vegetable, just a big leaf-cola.
2. is still in but look the same, very weird plant start new growth now.

This Panama is older than it should be - 70 days now.

Smart Grow dropped the price by 40%, so it's a lot more attractive than it was. This panel runs amazingly cool! For awhile, I wanted to build a veg cabinet 20x54 inches with a middle shelf/divider. But how do you get enough light in there without cooking 'em? Flurors give you close clearance but a lot of heat. LEDs need too much clearance. I can run this Par-Force at a foot away and there's no heat to vent.

It certainly is a beautiful light. Still a bit pricy though. Man, your little Land 'O Light is sweet Gray.
 
They are all very bushy, I guess you're gonna have to prune them a lil' bit :smokin2:
 
I love the looks of your OHS!
Nice update. Gray! :thumb:
 
Thx GT.

My first sativas are 2 weeks old now and has 6-7 weeks to go until I can set them in bloom.
Some journals make me quite nervous :ganjamon: so I go with conradino and train early and keep them in 1gal.


The panel is a bit pricy but it pays for its self anyway, for me the total wattage is more important as I only have about 2Kw I can use.
 
Evenin Gray...nice update as usual . Everything looks good bud....well not everything...the Desfran...what gives with her...Gray...she looks terrible, sorry pal, but she does...burnt tips , all tired lookin and shit. No matter Gray , all else is peachy. If i may recommend a seed place .can i do that?. If i can , without being punished ...the place i get mine from is UK Female Seeds in the UK. The gent who looks after you is always the same guy...never a problem...looks after ya. They have a great selection of breeders bud , you should give them a whirl. anyhow ,have a great night Gray and Gang.:circle-of-love:
 
Yeah, saggy, limp, purple-stalked wimpy thing, isn't it? :laughtwo: Frankly, I think All the youngsters look pretty raggedy. It's my veg room of doom - only the strong survive.

I don't think my new soil cooked worth a crap. I think I'll do a strong Trans/Tea drench on the youngins - the BHxBB responded quite obviously well to the Super Drench and epsoms. I bet the biota need some extra support. And I've been leaving them in the 1.5s longer than I normally do and they don' like it one little bit. I'm gonna go back to upcanning them at 8-10 inches tall. They're too hard to take care of in the smaller pots.

Thanks for the tip. I buy single seeds though, so it's better for me to go through Herbies, even if their freebies suck right now - I don't want a single one of them. Bah.
 
Veg room of doom....HAHA bud. Can't be that bad. Ya those little pots just need more tlc after they've bin in them for a while. I think your idea of getting them outta there sooner will help big time brotha. I didn't mean to be critical in a mean way Gray....just to be clear bud...lots of good vibes goin your way . have a great day...cheers.
 
hey graytail. I just ordered myself some seeds, HSO blue dream being one! I received like 10 freebie seeds too just for the summer promo :D

also wanted to ask, is there a reason a few of your plants have some lighter yellowing on the leaves?
 
I'm sure there's a reason - just not sure what it is. :cheesygrinsmiley: :laughtwo:

I've been pondering it and I don't think this last batch of soil cooked very well. I live in a cold climate so my basement, where I store the totes, often stays in the high 60s and low 70s until mid-summer. The soil in the bins doesn't seem to be any warmer that the ambient air and in fact feels coolish when I push a hand into it. It's digesting leaves now, but the earlier soil may not have grown much biota. I'm pretty sure the yellowing is mag def, which usually only shows up in this soil later, in bloom. To have it happening in veg means that the biota aren't digesting it in the soil. I feed lightly, so I'm going to see how they react to double doses of Trans/Tea. And the 1.5 gallon pots weren't helping - as we know, biota do much better in larger containers - so the upcanned ones should improve rapidly. That has usually straightened plants out in the past. :slide:
 
Reinoculate after transplant, that's my advice. I do some reinoculation in my grows.
