Re: Icemud Goes LED: Featuring Top LED Grow: Cherry Pie - GSC - OGiesel - SFV OG - UV
Hey everyone!! So here is a quick update for my veg tent. Friday I received my order of some new foliar sprays that I am going to begin using this round to see how it helps my plants out. The sprays have been used by other members on here including Docbud, Curso and BID and the sprays are Bloomit, amaze, and PGR. These sprays are designed specifically for High Brix growing and even though best practice would be to use it in a Lab balanced soil, I am going to give it a try on my mineralized soil to see how well my plants do this round.
Things are moving along pretty well in my flowering journal/tent so it shouldn't be long before these ladies get transfered over to my flower tent and introduced to my V-Scrog screen.
Well so I have been every week or so doing supercropping of the plants to encourage nice full canopies and lots of tops to use in my scrog screen and the plants seem to really be loving it. I have to say using this 144x3w LED, the plants are growing very very tight internodes which I like, but also they seem to be vegging slower than under my 400w CMH bulb. I am only using 1/3 of the electric though so it is not that big of a deal to me, but if you wanted faster vegging, CMH or HID definitely is better, at the cost of more electric usage and heat. As far as plant health though, the plants look pretty good under the LED and seem to like the light overall.
I fed the girls 2 days ago a mix of 2-4-0 fish hydrolyzed, Organic B, and carboload and they really seem to have loved the little bit of N. I have been letting the soil really get dry between waterings because I want a nice rootball for when I transplant them into flowering in a week or 2.
As mentioned above I picked up some new foliar sprays to try out this grow, so I mixed up my 1st foliar feeding of PGR, Amaze, cold pressed seaweed, and advanced nutrients carboload. I used 2oz of Amaze and 1oz of PGR to 1 gallon of water and soaked the girls, tops and bottoms of the leaves, and shot before and after photos, the plants definitely seemed to perk up after the foliar feeding and I so far am also Amazed!
