Dutch Passion DP Auto Blueberry, 120W Prakasa LED, air pots, organic soil and nutes.

[Darth Vapour]

Just been catching up on Briain's thread, where he has done some masterful LST :

https://www.autoflower.org/f5/dutch-passions-auto-white-widow-think-different-29407.html

and it made me realise i had totally forgotten to start bending my NL/BB cross!

So, thanks to the rubbery magic of biosilicon, i just bent the main cola 90 degrees in order to encourage the plant hormones to to hit the other flowering sites that recently appeared on her :

Some pics of my DIY growbox.

Simple bracketing system :

Allows easy raising/lowering of the shelf (the shelf looks weirdly like its glowing from within!) :

A single intake hole for air and power strip :

The fan and filter (that stuff in top left is expanding foam to fill gaps in wood which was badly cut at the shop) :

I put a crossbar in the box to support the filter, i may need to rejig this if i want to use larger pots and raise my lamp height :

There's enough of a gap so that air intake into the lamp isn't blocked :

the AutoBlueberry look great, another week or two and they will be nicely cooked. Lovely growing

Day 49 Northern Lights Big Bud cross. Day 63 AutoBlueberries ...

Do autos take longer under LED ?

The ABBs are on day 63 and the lower fan leaves aren't even starting to die ?

I noticed in my last grow (first with LED) that the AKRs took longer than normal.

Anyway it's all good in the growbox, minor calmag issues that i now know how to deal with so gone up another little step on the education ladder!

So let's bring on the girls ...


ABB1 :

ABB2 :

ABB3 :

The NLBB cross started showing flowering spots fairly late on compared to what i'm used to, aorund day 42, she's getting vigorous now, lots of growth this past week.

I think she may need some time in the box on her own when the ABBs are done, which will be a pain as it's my drying box too! (Dying to build a veg box or maybe get a veg tent).

She's a very symmetrical plant this one.


Northern Lights/Big Bud crosss day 49 :

Anyone grown NLxBB before ?

Here's the three ABB sisters all together :

Whole family in the box :

And finally, the candy-pink sugar-frosty trich show!

I can see the ABBs going 80 days or more, Y U M M Y


All the best, happy friday! Right now i'm listening to "The Battle of Ever More". Takes me all the way back ;+}

They are surely looking great. Are you sure they will take 80 days. to me that seems a bit long for the ABB's they look like they will be ready between day 70-77 at most. Looking great man lovely colours going on there especially with the led.

Cheers Briain, ye i'm really pleased with the results from this low wattage light, i may even beat my 4Oz record !

From the look of the pics mate I would say your target is easy.

 

[steelrat]

Thanks Mr Kip When i used 2L pots i got an Oz per plant so i'm hoping that 3L pots (especially now i use airpots) will increase the yield


Thanks very much for looking in,

your plants look lovely, full with resin, my AB is on day 28 at the moment and is looking lovely, hope mine are soon to turn out the same as yours, not bad at all either for a 120w prakasa for 4 plants. will keep poking my head in to see how they turn out . heard good and bad things about the prakasa units, but your one seems to be working just fine. good job so far bro.
