Indoor Bubblicious, Pineapple Express, Blue Himalaya Diesel, Super-Cali Haze, and Cream Carmel LED grow

What size pots you using, the 8 foot one is in ultra coir in a 10 gallon container, and the 7 foot one was in coco as well, except I kinda went crazy with it and put it in a 25 gallon pot. LMFAO. Smaller pots would restrict the total growth.

They are in 3 gallon pots right now and I plan on keeping it that way since I have had major transplant issues in the past and I would like to keep them between 3 and 4 feet. What was your overall impression of the SCH dagron?

Day 21 and there are in rapid growth mode and started to flower about 24 hours ago! Will wait another 7 or so days until they are out of preflower before hitting them with nutes.

The SCH can handle it's nutes. Thats for sure. Went full strength feeding from the very get go. It's also ridiculously hardy, During my grow of the 3 seeds I got I had to move my room. From a city to a more rural location. They survived all that and all the following trauma and stress. They were in a garage for a week or two under my LED, but not heated, it was getting to like 40 degrees at night. This went on until I was able to build my grow room. Through out all this they just kept fucking growing. The first one I harvested was decent, pretty airy buds, but got 1-1.5 oz, Decent enough smoke, daytime high. This last one I harvested is A LOT better. Way more frosty and more compact. Got about 3 oz.

Sweet I really need a daytime smoker out of this grow. The other 4 strains are indica dominant so having 2 or 3 oz of sch will make for a nice switch every once and a while.

i'm subbed, your led far out powers mine, but i think i looked into that company a while back didn't they have limited spectrums? but your girls are looking good and i'll be curious to see how they turn out, i've seen some really nice cream carmel autos under led and i think its gotta be part of my next seed order, good luck and good growing

PrezDickie,
The older line of Magnum Led's were limited a bit but the new line is a full 11 spectrum led with the patented par amp technology. I love this led so far but it has been a huge learning curve as this led is equvilant to a 1000 watt hid so you really have to keep it at least 25" away from the plants or they will burn in the blue spectrum for veg. When I switch to full spectrum in about two weeks I will start at 30" and work it down till I see stress and there is the sweet spot. Also, the customer service for magnum is beyond excellent. The other great thing is, this light was designed by growers strictly for growing weed in BC so if I ever have a question they already know the answer!

 

[DubV]

Quick tip to anyone using a full spectrum led that can be switched between blue, full, and red spectrums. I have found through trial and error that if you switch back and forth between blue and full spectrum every two days during veg works the best for rapid growth. This maybe strictly with the magnum but it works extremely well as most can see!

Just a quick update.. As stated earlier I thought all 5 were flowering, however my bubbliscious is the only one not flowering at day 22. I am hoping I do not have a batch that doesnt autoflower like others have stated but I will give it a few more days and see what happens. If need be I can throw into my cfl closet and switch to 12/12 but I would rather not do that since I have 5 new strains germing right now! I will update with pictures tomorrow of some serious rapid growth of about 2-3 inches a day!

Day 24 and all is well except for my bubbliscious is not flowering still. Really dont know how I will deal with this other than to pull it out for 12 hours of darkness everyday in another room and put it back in every day. I really do not want to do this the whole grow and I dont want to switch the whole grow to 12/12 because of reduced yeild even though I know its not a lot. Anyone have any ideas on what I could do? I do have another closet but I just started my second grow in that closet today and of course I will start another journal for that one.
