Fast Buds 2nd grow: Rhino Ryder and LSD-25

[Herbisaur]

So I guess I'm updating on day 47 haha! @FastBuds

Riley main cola day 47

Emily main cola Day 47

Emily side branch

Emily in all her glory Day 47

I think Emily needs some nitrogen because I slacked off when I saw the toxicity. I figure she has at least three weeks left so I may add some back but I can't decide. These LEDs are producing much frostier and denser looking buds than my cfl/hps combo. I wanted to run both LEDs and HPS but the bulb on the HPS is so old I thought it might be adding more heat than benefit, but I'm going to buy a new bulb and run the 150w HPS with the LEDs at some point.

Damn bud, those are nice bud shot. If you do add some nitrogen, I'd just go like 1/6 strength. She doesn't look bad, just a bit hungry. Giving her a small portion won't hurt anything though. Another beautiful plant by @Herbisaur

Have a puppy!

@Fuggzy well when I noticed the N tox I only fed bloom, I stopped calmag because of the N so I might just add back in calmag for a little N What do you think?

 

[Fuggzy]

I would try that first. See how it looks after 1-2 feeds, and if it still looks hungry, and a bit of the veg feed. You wouldn't need much veg feed, but the calmag I'd just do your normal dose.

WOW @Herbisaur !!! nice man, i think i stalled my LSD's budding i think i have a PH issue or something i gotta check it out more now that the lights are on... im veryinpressed with how your grow went so far bud!

Wow the frost is strong with these... looks incredible man. Emily looks amazing!!! Can't wait to see what my LSD turns into haha. My cfl lights aren't producing anywhere near the amount of frost that your LEDs are. Wish I could have a more permanent setup it'll have to wait a few years though probably.

Ah and have yourself a little you deserve it! You are growing some might fine plants

@Fuggzy thanks for the advice and thanks for the puppy. I'm glad it's just a pic as I have enough dogs at my house!

@tripaholic88 thanks man! The LSD did exactly what I wanted her to do! She has a lot more fattening up to do so if I can correct this deficiency she will probably be my most prized plant.

I don't think stunting your bud growth is a bad thing, may take her a little longer to finish but I'm sure she'll get nice and fat eventually!

My rhinos are making up for lack of size with extra frost! I tried my sample of rhino in the vape last night and it was an intense body feel, very medicinal vibe to it almost narcotic like. It reminded me of when I make the lsd into edibles. No sexual stimulation from the rhino it was more of a hypnotic smoke. Very pleasant, but the LSD still has my heart! When I have more rhino to experiment with I'll be able to give a better smoke report

@Colonel thanks for the reps man! These LEDs are amazing. Last time I used cfl and hps and I can tell you the buds this round are much fuller looking and incredible more frosty. I'm using same nutrients so it has got to be the LEDs making such a huge difference. I can't wait until Emily really start fattening up in the coming weeks and when I can harvest at least one of my rhinos and make space for some of my other babies I have growing.

I saw @iampepe got 10 grams off of his lsd runt. I'm hoping for 10-15g dry weight per rhino. Then hopefully closer to 40 grams for my lsd

Your LSD is looking gorgeous! Where did you get your beans? The runt I'm smoking which is about gone was dark purple, the other two not so much at least yet any ways. I'm about to order LSD again from herbies.... I just ordered from the Vault but they dont carry Fastbuds.

I think as you are, I'm sold on these LED's and I'm using the mars hydro ebay models. Wondering if its even worth it to spend the extra cash for higher end models?

Hi Pepe. In short, yes it is better. Although if you have a tight budget, and say your choices where 2 ebay models, or 1 reflector model, I would recommend the ebay models.

The 2 different series are ruining different diodes I believe, and the ebay model is the old version. Still a good grow light, but not as effective as the newer models.
