Dutch Passion Billy Wu's second grow - Think Different (w/CO2 enrichment)

[BillyWu]

Hopefully when the buds start getting big and the LED lights are in there, I'll have some photocontest worthy pictures The nice colour tints from the lights should be grand.

Billy, it's supposed to be good to wait until just before watering to do any major bending. the stems seem to be a little more flexible then . Looking damn fine anyway Hazy

 

[p man]

I'd bend it but closer to the top ...I have done 3 plants so far with LST..... I start bending when they're smaller and get almost a 90 deg bend on the stem and also lst the other stems when and where needed....the plants have yeilded some really fat and thick buds..see photo

its looking great Billy. Remember that tieing down plants can be done progressively, little by little. I think you have another really good grow underway and they will love the LED too. great work man

Day 39

MY LED'S ARRIVED! I feel like a smoker in a dispensary right now After the Chinese holiday was over and my order was processed, these lights arrived within 4 days. They were sent Thursday/Friday and arrived here today, Monday.
They're definitely good quality lights, I can tell by the way they're built. These were meant to be put on shelf stores here. The LED ratio's are 17 red, 5 blue and 3 orange, which should be perfect considering I have two of them!

Seriously looking forward to what kinda bud I'm going to get this time around. CO2 enrichment, LED/HPS lights AND ScrOG, I can't think of anything else I want to do! I'm going to be growing in DWC hydroponics for my next grow though, soil is too temperamental for my liking, I prefer to have quantitative control over my growing environment and I'm experienced in industrial laboratory work so it should be right up my alley!

Switched over to flowering nutrients yesterday. Here are some pictures.
Also please note: I had a minor incident with my top cola stem. Whilst rearranging some stuff in my tent I accidentally brushed it too hard with one side of my hand and it caught on the ScrOG screen and broke :/ Luckily it hasn't broken completely in half. I've splinted it with a toothpick and some wire to make sure it'll get extra support so it can recover :] The top cola itself is still growing even with the broken stem.

LED lights only pictures

Mmm.. looks like some juicy bud in the making!

So what do you think guys?

If soil is not for you then fair enough but your shouldn't knock it especially as your only half way through your second grow. Hope the organic boys don't linch ya

 

[BillyWu]

I just think hydroponics would be better suited to me :] As I said I've already got the correct skill set and knowledge for working with DWC, so may as well give it a go and see what happens!
Not knocking soil, I've already had 1 great grow and in the middle of what I think is going to be a second great grow, so the results from soil are definitely good. Organic boys can lynch me when they make the Dutch Passion hall of fame in a soil grow

Maybe Kush T can be your tutor Willy Wu

I think Kush has just had bad luck, I don't think it's down to his skills as a grower as from what I saw he knows what he's doing :]
