Skunnymonster's Multi-Strain Perpetual LED Grow

[tadlawid]

your flux is very very beautiful Skunny, you have what you need for a big grow i hope i'll do as best as you for this or next grow.

And you are all right, even here in my language forums, LED is not as considered as here, and it's a pleasure to prove to this young but old thinking man that it's fluxing worth it...motherfluxer !

Is it something new, unexpected, revolutionary and expensive?

 

[skunnymonster]

Thanks Tadlawid, this is my 1st flux & I hope it brings me great rewards. Lets show these folks we can grow big yields with LED

It's an aberacadabera light with built in fairy dust sprinkler

 

[budstep]

Wouldn't that be something with built-in coffee machine.

 

[skunnymonster]

And an automatic doobie maker

 

[budstep]

And time machine to go to future, pick up a nano tech 3D printer to print more of those lights from garbage.

Too far?

 

[skunnymonster]

Mmmmmmmm..........I think so

I'm subscribe. Everything is real interesting(new to groing, and also have a TopLedGrow).
I'll just put my chair in the back row for now, and keep a close eye on what is going on.

Don't sit at the back King, I've saved some front row seats for fellow TopLED owners. Take that one over there, just left of centre, you'll get a great view from there my friend

I've been in my garden today so I thought I'd share what I've been up to with all you lovely 420 folks.
I had another look at KxS#1 & I'm pretty sure it's male so into the bin it went
My three babies needed bigger pots so they all got moved into 10L airpots. I'll be finishing them off in the 5gal smart pots so I've not used the full height of the pots this time. When I come to re-potting them it should be much easier & I wont be breaking roots trying to squish them down into a shallow pots.
I did my usual coco, perlite mix with some bat guano & PM granules & watered with nute mixed to ph 5.9 & an EC of 1.4. The mix was 2ml/L PM grow A+B, 2ml/L Voodoo, 2ml/L F1.
Fluxy still has a bit of moisture in her pot so she's not had a drink but I decided to let her have three friends round to stay.
I've now got all four plants in the one tent & switched over from the Mars to my 96x3. I bought this light for veg so lets see how it does lighting a 4x2 area, which is the stated footprint. It looks to be giving even coverage but I'll keep my eye on the 3 babies & see if they start leaning in for the light. I set the height at 2ft above the babies, 18" above the flux. It doesn't seem as intense on the eyes as the Mars, whether this is down to fewer IR diodes I don't know but it doesn't hurt your eyes like the Mars does.

This is in veg mode

This is in flower mode

Here's a top down view of the babies

I'll share a little trick for keeping the node spacing tight, here's a before picture

And here it is after

You have to be very gentle when you do it as it's very fragile young growth but all you do is spread it open so the new shoot can be seen, I do this about 3 or 4 times a day all through the veg stage & it does work so I'd recommend everyone to try it if you don't do it already.

To finish off todays update you can have some pictures of the flux. I'm defoliating & training on a daily basis which I really enjoy but I just wish she'd grow faster. If I wasn't fluxing her I'd have her in flower by now, this fluxing lark takes an eternity

That's all for today so take it easy fellow growers & keep it green

 

[b.real]

everything looks very pretty

 

[budstep]

That Flux will be a monster. Sorry to hear about the KxS 1

 

[skunnymonster]

I'm hoping so budstep. I think it's time to go vertical now so I'll wait for LA to confirm

 

[Mars Hydro]

wooow, pretty girls, nice work.

 

[Dusty Kiefers]

Lookin great. Damn it had tiny little nuts, thats a bummer.

 

[skunnymonster]

It is a bit of a sickener mate & made worse by deciding to do the flux which has a long veg cycle. I wish I'd have started some auto's now coz I'm now on my last bud

High Skunny, Maybe there's some room left , I would like to sit in the middle row to learn and ask a few questions if you don't mind.;.
