Skunnymonster's Multi-Strain Perpetual LED Grow

[susat66]

What height do you reckon you'll be dealing with after the stretch, and how tall is canopy now, looks about 20cm , if uv got the space why not mainline or can ur yields be higher fluxing. Are you using 1 or 2 Mars 2 400 s and what is the lighting area(best LPW) ?

 

[skunnymonster]

I've not grown either strain or used LED before so it's only a guess but I'm thinking somewhere around 12"
They vary in height with the Toxic the tallest at 14" (36cm) the two Tangies are 8 1/2" & 10" (22cm & 26cm)
I've never done mainlining I just do my Skunnybush©™ This style should suit LED as it's like a scrog without a screen
Only the full spectrum 400 has been used through veg. It's about 24" high & the footprint of my plants is currently 3x3 & that's the lights best coverage. I will re-arrange my plants & add the flower spectrum Mars a few days before I flip to 12/12. Each light will do 2 plants each.

Cheers bruv, feeling my age a bit today, and had a kebab at 05.00 this morning, felt pony all day , but gotta put cracked(with 8mm tap roots) 1 Ult Purp has put out a tap, 2nd looks like it may have just split the pod and 3rd it looks like it was never viable, glad I put them back in water. Your ones look sweeeet.
The regs all popped fast and clean, unorg genetics I think r very strong and stable, I'll have to see. Not looking forward to having to pot up and clone 4 sex , well got plenty more. ( about 150 /80 fem) 12autos
so lots to play with, that site is expensive man, will check the sister single seed site.

Good news bro, get a journal up & running
Reg seeds always germ better but it's the long wait to sex that cabbages me. They are usually better plants though if they're females so it's a buzz when you get a girlie. I've heard good reports from Wizards on their strains

When I germinate seeds I use a matchbox lined with about 320 sandpaper to shake the seeds in for a minute, it scrapes the sides of the seeds to aid in moisture penetrating the seeds shell.

After having germination issue with Jiffy peat moss pucks and soil I switched to Rapid Rooters and have had much higher germination rates. Rapid Rooters seem to provide the seed with the perfect amount of air and moisture. I soak my seeds in pH adjusted water for 30-36 hours or until i see tap roots. I cut the Rapid Rooter mat into individual squares then I soak the Rapid Rooter squares in pH adjusted water for 15 minutes before use. Then I place the seeds tap root down into the Rapid Rooter square then place them underneath a light with 18/6 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. I do not use a humidity dome. I hand water with a syringe each day to keep the Rapid Rooter square moist. when I see roots emerge from the Rapid Rooter square I transplant to 5" pots in a mixture of peat moss, perlite, vermiculite and mycorrhizae.

Cheers KJC but u told me that before, have never had a problem germinating, I'll scuff if shells look really thick but , was just talking about different strains and sizes influencing the process.
Thanks all the same but I should build a little scuffing box , jus not seen a box of matches in years:thanks but I use all methods as long as they work, scuffing u just need to know how long. 10 15 seconds of shake with emery board from the girlfriends part of the bathroom,

Also in the states all the hydro gear is so much cheaper than here. Ur lucky in that department as there's stuff I want that costs 300 dollars but either costs more to ship it plus import taxes or tne only ship in North America. U can't have seeds but u can have the facilities double cheap. I'm jealous

I'd love to know how I can encourage the little buggers once they've cracked. All my seeds are still hiding in their root plugs & I want them to come out & play

I use heating mat and put cracked seed in a warm soil and 18 hours later I have sprout. I don't know if it's wrong or right or whatever but it's working for me.

Im not to sure so im just going to say sing to them lol cant do no harm lol

 

[skunnymonster]

I think if I had a heated propagator things could improve. It's warm in there but the heat is from the top not down below. I've got a desk lamp I might try as an underside heater.

Sing to them?? With my voice I'll scare them to death

 

[wildwelshman]

haha i really don't know mate as we germinate in totally different ways. Good luck though. Come on the POOL

 

[skunnymonster]

I've just rigged up a 12v inspection lamp, it's on of the red ones mechanics use) to heat under my propagator. I think this could do the trick


I'm going for a 3-0 win today, LVG yesterday

I hope light works out for you. Im going for 4-1 skertal to give them a pen for pulling in the box.

 

[wildwelshman]

Ooops forgot hahahaha manu hahahaha

 

[skunnymonster]

I love seeing the demise of UTD, they can't sign anyone due to no CL & their squad is shite.

Come on you mighty reds!! YNWA

A little update on the light, the transformer is no more but fear not, it's now running with a battery charger 12v 4w should do the trick. I'll check in a bit & see how warm it is

 

[wildwelshman]

Juat seen the starting line up. Do you stream match on pc

 

[skunnymonster]

I've not seen it yet, I've been rushing around doing chores & my underlighting. I've got Sky mate, I stream the non televised ones though

I stream the non tele and sky matches i got bt sport though lol

Here's some photos of my under-floor heating system for my propagator. I've burnt a hole in the bottom with the bulb to make a heat inlet, (don't try this at home kids) Then inside there is a shallow plastic lid to catch the rising heat & trap it in. So there you have it, job done
