John's First Indoor LED Grow

[Blackburn19]

Thanks! I wasn’t sure about the lights at all seeing as I don’t really have any info on them but there working great. They have put on a lot weight and are staying so short and I haven’t topped them yet. I plan on transplanting them in the next couple days and then start training them

I topped the fifth internode leaving four below. You’ll love interacting with your plants and training them.

Here’s an example of mine when the blue Cookie was young.

Then what she looks like now.

Google the serial number of your light and I bet you’ll find all the information you need for it

wow That looks good! You left 4 below eh I was debating 5 or 6 but with what there at now I should do 5 I think

I guess it all boils down to how much height you have in your tent. My tent is 5’ tall, minus the light hanging and the pot, plus stem to the top canopy I dont have much room to play with. You remember though, the more internodes left after topping the bushier the plant will be as well.

What my two plants look like in the tent

I apologize for posting so many photos on your journal! Not trying to thread jack!!

 

[Blackburn19]

No need to apologize at all I don’t mind, your plants look great in there. I’m working with about the same room as you

 

[Backlipslide]

I showcase how I built my tent in the first couple posts of my journal, not sure if you it yet or not. It 32” wide 2’ deep and 5’ tall!

 

[Blackburn19]

Ya I seen it and follow your journal. I’m totally new to all this but like to think I’m learning a lot from this site and the help you give me is huge. My tent is 3x3x5 so a little room, the height is what I thought was going to be an issue but how these plants are growing I’m becoming less concerned

 

[Blackburn19]

Here’s the 2 outside, there doing great but I like how short and full the indoor ones are compared to these. I had an issue with 2 lower leaves on the Bruce Banner that had rusty looking spots on them but after I looked this morning there almost gone and even the brown on the tips seems to be clearing up. Hopefully whatever was wrong is corrected now

 

[Blackburn19]

Well I stand corrected I thought it was going away but after checking on them tonight I can see it starting on other leaves.

 

[Blackburn19]

Anybody?? Should I be concerned?

 

[Alafornia]

Hmmm...I don't know. How often are you watering and are you adding anything to it? When did they go outside? Have you checked the bottom of the leaves for crawlers?

 

[Blackburn19]

An update tonight since I have transplanted all the ladies. All plants are growing well and are now 34 days old since sprouting. To me the Cinderella are growing faster and 2 of the Bruce Banner are still only growing leaves with 5 points which is weird to me. Here are some pics, I’ll post some of the 2 outdoor tomorrow we’re getting some really bad weather at the moment

What kind of LEDs are you running?

 

[Blackburn19]

I will have a look in the morning but I’m not really sure. I bought them off an elderly guy that had bought them on line thinking they were some fancy shop lights. I wasn’t sure about them but so far they are treating me well

 

[Blackburn19]

I should also mention all plants were topped at the 5th node

I currently have a 100w bulb, 210 LED board. Just purchased a Mars Hydro 300w and an 1000w unbranded LED. Waiting on them to be delivered. So far I have 3 growing and they seem to be loving just the 2 lights.

 

[Blackburn19]

Her are the 2 girls out doors

Id be afraid to move them outdoors once started inside as you can attract pests quickly.
