Thanks for the reps spring!
Hi guys I hope you don't mind gk but I'm hoping someone can help me with my babies. I did the 21day defol on them today and found some seed looking sacks on one plant which was a random seed. Obviously it's turned hermi but I was just wondering if anyone can tell me if they are seeds or pollen sacks. Hope you don't mind gk cheers mate.
Don't know if I've done the pics right or not this is my first go

Hotdog Those look like pollen pods. You wanna
get he/she out of the room if you have other females.
Unless you want seeds.

No problem at all hoddog - but sorry mate, as wildbill already said those are male flowers. You can try and nip them off and keep a close eye on him/her, but it's a risk if you've got other plants nearby

I did a big defoliation today. She's growing really fast under this led and it's really vigorous so I think I'll flip next weekend - I'm expecting her to grow a lot more during stretch than she did under the cfl so flipping sooner rather than later may be better. So the plan is this is the last major defoliation until stretch finishes. She's got 5 days or so to recover and then 12/12 from this weekend.
I've also got the RH up by putting a glass of water in the cabinet and keeping the main cupboard door closed - I'm not getting any issues with the res temps rising as I had done with the cfl (the led is much better with temp than the cfl - the cupboard's staying at 25C) and the RH has increased from 25% to 50% which I'm much happier with.
Some photos, not entirely sure how well they come up under this light though - very purple!

I agree with bmeat, looks great just like she is.

It opens the plant up to the light - a lot of the branch sites are shaded by the fan leaves so stripping the leaves lets the light get to these. Doing it in veg also gets her used to it because once I flip to 12/12 and stretch has come to an end (around day 21) I'll give her another heavy defoliation to allow the light to fully penetrate all bud sites
looking great GK, im glad your liking the new light bro
try to keep your rh right around 40% and your temps between 80 and 85 degrees during veg and 85 degrees during flower, these are ideal conditions for led growing.

it might not look pretty after a defoliation guys but defoliation is pretty much a must when your scrogging. all kinds of air circulation issues will start to happen during flower otherwise, and it will most definetly increase yield because there will be very little popcorn at screen level with the increased light penetration

Cool, thanks Jon; the glass of water seems to be working and keeping it above 40%.

And she'll recover so fast - 24h and you won't even notice anything had happened!

Look at his last grow log. You will find this to be true. He turned me on to it because of what the plant does.
Really really helps the lower sites on the branches fill out.

As long as all the other conditions are right and the plant's not stressed when you do it then you don't really notice any negative effects bmeat - within a couple of days the plant has re-leafed and a lot of the less developed growth that wasn't getting much light has started to fil out.
Unfortunately with the single cfl of the last grow there wasn't enough light penetration and distribution other than directly under the bulb, but with this new led I should have more than enough light I hope to sufficiently cover the whole screen, and penetrate down to the screen itself. I'll defoliate again once stretch is over to let the light get to all the buds, and this time round with the extra light I should get a better yield I hope

Yeah, they're a really weird light, and the colour changes depending how you look at it. It doesn't look that purple in the flesh though, I think it's the UV coming out more in the photos - it's more of a white colour with tinges of red when you look at it with the naked eye. And you're right, it does appear to penetrate right into the plant a lot better.
I do like the berry bomb. It's a really nice smoke and is very potent, but it's quite creepy - it takes a good few minutes for it to settle in, and then you go to do something and you suddenly realise you're really stoned when it takes you about three times longer than it should to do what you wanted! You can function on it to an extent which is good, it's just not great for doing anything that requires a lot of thought, unless you allow yourself plenty of time to think!
