New Grower First Auto Attempt - New Year Budget Bucket Grow

[MrGoat]

I guess you could ask? I
@MrGoat just purchased the Hydropics and I was waiting to see how well it works for him.

That's a nice little lights @Dabber I wonder how cool it runs?

The Hydropics light rocks so far. Plants on the COB side of the tent are definitely fuller than the side with LED 600W. Temp did jump 3 or 4 degrees with the new COB 800W. Very pleased with Hydropics 800W. It has a 3 year warranty as well. With the COBs u want to look at the PAR & PPFD values. Hope this helps.

Thanks @MrGoat ! For the price it'll be tough to beat.

Day 17 - Still seeing stacked growth, but everything seems to be pretty steady. She keeps wanting to tip over so I'm hoping her stem gets a bit stronger soon.

Feedings are still from the MegaCrop 1g/gallon. I have probably used half gallon since starting that feed a week ago. She's looking good as far as my first timer eyes can tell.

Can't go wrong with the Mega Crop. I am starting to back off the Mega and just feed Sweet Candy, Recharge and Molasses since mine are getting close to the end.
For a whole i was using 6 g per gallon, the 5 g, now down to 2.5 g/gallon. Next batch will not have MC included.

Quick update as I didn't have a chance to take pictures before leaving. I saw some pistols so looks like we're arriving in flowering soon.

As expected, we got a girl on our hands. She is till packed tight so not sure what I can do as far as training goes. Her stem seems to be thickening up as well so things are progressing nicely.

I should have my tent in by the weekend and thinking I might get another plant started, but again all depends on what I can do about lights.

I pumped up my feeding today and gave 1 300ml feeding. Rather than the two smaller feedings at 125-175ml. We are still feeding the MegaCrop at 1g/gallon. Instructions state a full feed at this stage is 2g/gallon but she seems to be running good. I might bump it up next week but we will see how things go.

Day 20 - nothing too different over the last few days. Feedings are still from the 1g/gallon of MegaCrop and we are feeding about 400ml a day now. Thinking we will be at 0.5L consistently and maybe try a few feedings at 2.5g/gallon to see how she reacts

Tent 2x2x4 is set up and boy what a difference that space is! New light to fill the tent is on its way. I decided to give the 800w LED a be run because of that $80 price tag.

I popped a critical ogre in a small pot, will start another journal for that one.

Pics of the girl in the tent will be coming after work.

Little sad that we won't be finishing in the bucket, but happy at the same time that I am no longer restricted to just 1 plant at a time m

What kind of diodes are in the new light? 5W? 3W Wow $80 nice price tag!! Epistar?

What about still using the bucket to start plants in the future...get into a perpetual swing eventually

Epistar 3W diodes.

That might be the way to go to continue to utilize it, I'll look into the space I've got and see if I can make that work
