Sauga's First WW Indoor Grow, LED Style

You can also bend them with your fingers by pushing down on them gently. That'll make them slow down a tad to recuperate and expose the bottom node to light. Soon they will be taking off in growth.
I went ahead and lightly pushed them down. I'm not sure how much to push but it seems easier from the ends of the branches as opposed to near the stalk. I'm assuming I did good because nothing broke.

top o the morning to you mr.S I see the glasses worked out well, your #quadalicious girls are looking good, I'm a cpl days behind but we shall conquer together hey....

Have a great evening....
You know it Mr Smeegs, seems my little ones really like these LED's for now. Growing pretty fast. The other ones are going to get another dosing of compost tea tomorrow. I added a bunch of red wigglers and that really got the compost composting. Enjoy your sleep.

I remember when mine were looking like that MrSauga. I kept thinking....surely I need to do something...but I waited for input from the quadsquad. Lol. And I’m 100% sure that was the best thing to do! It was an exercise in restraint and patience. Would they have been fine if I jumped right in there....probably. But I would say that waiting before doing too much training or before first defol allowed them to bounce back very quickly.
Hey Magoo, thanks man for the advice. I think I have the patience down pat now and it's more of when do I do what I need to do. So, ya thankfully guys like you, @Derbybud @Asesino85 and many others who have the experience of quadlining can speak up when needed. I will usually post before doing, so I can get feedback, or at least I try. Early in the grow I learned that whenever I did something there was either a better way or no need to do it at all. So, asking first saves time and energy. Work smart, not hard.
 
Morning mr.Sauga, I believe mr.Stank does this, I'm trying it out now. So your 2 upper most branches that are busy growing use pipe cleaners to " handcuff " them to the fan leaves branch. That way you also get that bend going gently as I'm to scared to push the branches with these meat mallets I call hands.....lol

top o the morning to you.. also by doing so you providing light to the set below, but then you have big ass fan leaves....

Sounds easy enough, how'd it work out for you? I'll head on into the tent shortly to give' er a go.

Ya that works well. Also seems tidier. Thanks for sharing @Van Stank technique with me.

So I was up early this morning getting my compost tea ready for the girls. I used the same method as I posted earlier only this time I used cheesecloth instead of nylons, as the cheesecloth I should get two or three uses out of.
I did a complete root ball flush since the pots were pretty dry. Still moist down deep but it was time I got on a proper watering schedule and today I started that. So I gave 1L of tea around the centers, slowly, to all four plants and waited. Then I went around the outside edges slowly with 1L more of tea, and waited. Then I went back to the rootball and moistened real good. I didn't get a lot of runoff after three liters of tea so I think I did pretty good. It means, at least to me, there was still some room for water although they absobed it well with the oxygen. They probably wont get watered again for another 7-10 days but I'll keep an eye on things since I haven't really recorded a schedule prior to now.

Here's how they look after soaking the tea for the day. You may not notice in the pics but they love that tea. The pH is coming down, around 7.5, still high but no signs of deficiencies.




 
Morning mr.S some awsome news my reg #quadsquad pupil might be fem....lol
That is great news Mr Smeegs, now on with the show!

Lookin good there Mr S. Gotta love that fresh green!
Nobody told me weed smelled so good after rubbing the leaves. And the green is quite deep, looks beautiful my friend, :thankyou:
 
Morning mr.S #quadsquad attempt 1 for your tips and suggestions....haha. top o the morning to you, thought I'd pop in and show you my quad ( hopefully ) lady....

Well the best tip I can give you is don't put sour milk in your coffee. I know a lot about coffee, not so much about Quadlining.
Having said that, your "girls" look friggin awesome. I let mine grow for a few more days and tied them down tonight. I'll post some pics shortly.
:welldone:
 
So I had an 8" inline fan for my 4x4. A little overkill but I had no problem with ventilation. I did get big swings in day/night temps when I had the MH installed, but with the LED's the temperature was a lot easier to manage. Therefore the question was do I really need an 8" fan now. It was oversized before and now is using more energy than needed.
So I went on a hunt and found a 6" fan that has 6 speed settings and adjusts based on your preset temperature. IP44 rated and basically adjusts speed the closer or further it gets away from the setpoint.
I'm sure plenty of you have seen it and used it and it only has 361CFM airflow max, but it works great. For the most part it runs between 50-75% and probably a lot lower when I'm sleeping.
Would it work with a carbon filter attached? I don't know, probably not. I have one and one day I will test it out, but by the time I would need it in my grow it will be legal here and I don't give a rat's butt if my White Widow overpowers the neighborhood.

Moving on, the next pic is a SCROG test. I think that's the height I'll be going with, assuming 4" through the net before pulling under and stretch when flowering. My lights still need to be 24" as a guidline for flower but we'll be testing lower. I may even take out the LED's and put the HPS 600W in. Since I have no experience in either I'll eventually be trying both out to see which gives better buds and yields.

Next are the stars of the show, Wendy and Emily. Wendy has some unique genetics. All her new growth has some funny coloring in it, almost patchy, not new growth colors but strange patterns. Hard to see in the images, but after a day those markings all disappear.
Emily just won't grow up. All she wants to do is be a bushy little bitch and she's not co-operating with the rest of the group. Any suggestions why her growth is stunted? Even the quads, next up, are growing faster. Emily is healthy, strong, bushy, but short. Color looks great. Can I assume this may be a genetic thing or maybe not even a WW. Fascinating this weed world we live and grow in.

OK how many are still reading?
Next up are the new stars, the Quad sisters, Edna and Denice. Both have been growing strong and today they got their first good tickle and are coming down to the third floor where apparently nodes wanna hang out and party. I'm happy with the growth rate on these. They were almost 2 weeks later in the soil then Wendy and Emily.
So those who have been paying attention to the names of the girls may have noticed the first letter from each name will spell out the word WEED. Why do you need to know this? You don't, but I feel better telling you :)


OK, that's all for now folks. :peace:
 
I am I am!
So we don’t just assume you have a hang up on your ex’es! Lol
I am impressed you made it through that bunch of blabber, lol, and not too bad a guess on the ex names. OK, so I have no ex'es, just one wonderful wife of 29 years. Wait, 30 years. Or is it 30? Ya, 30.

That’s amazing this day in time! Congrats on that! I have the exes! Lol. But no hang ups.......unless you count the realization that no one can love me!!!!
Haha! Just kidding! :rofl:
No hang ups here. Get along with all my exes and have a great girlfriend that supports my gardening. She doesn’t smoke the ganj so I don’t have to share! Lol....
 
I'm still here
Sweet, and no comment on the quads means you didn't find anything unusual or going astray. I should see the center growth start to come up, as you mentioned earlier, over the next couple of days.

Yes. They will look like the one in the previous pic that looks pretty bushy. At least mine did.
