Re: Icemud Goes LED: Featuring Top LED Grow: Cherry Pie - GSC - OGiesel - SFV OG - UV
Alright, here is todays update everyone! Its been a minute and I didn't want to constantly post daily updates for the veg tent because not much changes day to day. Today would make around day 41 of veg for the older of the vegging plants. I couldn't be happier with the way things are growing under the 144x3w Top LED grow light (veg setting). The plants are thriving, looking very healthy and growing very bushy with tight internode distances, much tighter growth than the previous light was producing (400w Ceramic Metal Halide).
I got back from a short weekend trip yesterday, my cousin got married in Wisconsin. Boy do I love California sunshine and was so happy to fly back from 0 degree weather yesterday to 80s here in Socal!!! I am truly blessed to live where I do.
I havent fed the girls for about a week and the soil is still pretty moist so they will probably not be fed for another 5 days or so because they haven't reached that point where they are sucking up water really fast yet. Overall the leaves look very healthy, no stress signs, and even slighly have that high brix gloss to them.
I decided that the blue dream cut I have is not worth keeping. I do not believe it is true blue dream because out of all strains, blue dream is one of my favorites and it lacks the taste and smell of a true blue dream cut. Mine smells more like a XJ-13 or a trainwreck type smell and not of the citrus blue dream type smell that I love. I decided to cull the Blue dream in veg, not worth taking up space and since I have ran this cut for probably over a year now, its time to let her go and try something new or leave room for things to come.
I also removed all of the red party cups with seeds in them and dumped them back into my extra soil pot. Nothing sprouted at all, really not sure why, but oh well, not worth taking up the space. I have to perfect germination from seed and do some more reading for when I am ready to try again, its a bummer that I don't have many seeds to play with right now but at least I have some that I can use for learning that I don't mind wasting. It did hurt though to lose the ones I planted because a few of them I only have a few seeds and I can't get them again since they were gifted through friends and such. I will try again soon.
After removing the cups and blue dream from the tent I spaced out the plants and used LST and supercropping to spread out the branching and promote more tops to grow. I miss my v-scrog so I may be using it next round with these ladies in flowering tent so I am preparing them to be as bushy as I can get them before I make my decision and also while I wait for my flowering tent to become available.
Not much else to report today but here are the photos...
