Lighting herbalistssword Skyline 1000 grow diary

[Taipan]

Ok, I am hijacking my own thread, but it is still relevant as these 2 outdoor plants ended up under some ledhydroponics sky100s

One of the outdoor plants started showing mold, so I've super cropped, lst and defoliated so that she can fit in my garage, here she is today:

She is quite happy in her custom enclosure hope she doesn't get any more mold. Which is what drove me to harvest this baby which was under the sky100 until the church above took over:

That is an older pic from last week, she lived under the lights on a temporary basis, when the weather was rubbish outside (so really most of the time the last month), being under the lights really helped the buds fatten up, I harvested 587gms of wet trimmed bud, currently drying

I haven't uploaded diary for peach puree but you can follow the greenhouse seeds 'the church' here (will update it tomorrow):

The Church Outdoor

Part of my first ever grow, this plant has been a pleasure to grow. With a big surprise on week 10 showing how amateur I am :) Following are pictures of her from seedling up to last Sunday which was the end of week 21. I germinated in the soil directly, I didn't know about the thing where you...

Right, back to the original grow

I am really happy with the lights but I am thinking of splitting the skyline 1000 in half, so make 2 units with 5 modules each. That way I can control the height separately for different plants and will get more lights in the edges. Does that void my warranty or anything @muddy-ledhydroponic ? seems as simple as remove some screws in the middle and putting 2 extra ratchets.

The girls are doing amazing, I discovered I was incorrectly mixing the nutrients as the biogrow is finish and the bottom of the bottle is quite thick, sticking to the watering can and not mixing when I stir it :S

Week 7 of mixed variety indoor grow

End of week 7 day 49 for most of the girls. On day 43 I noticed the Sugar Mama was too bushy and a lot of lights was being blocked So I decided to defoliate and do LST, which looked much better and light got to most branches: But 6 days later by the end of the week (today) she looked...

Another week, time flies...

I've added the entry for week 8 yesterday, you can see details here:

Week 8 of mixed variety indoor grow

Good week, buds are swelling up and girls getting taller. Fastberry day 52: still getting talled standing at 71 cms (grew by 5cms since last week), sowing some signs of over feeding so today I gave her a weeker feed with 2ml/l of biogrow and 1ml/l calmag only. She is growing to become a very...

A group pic I took today (day 60 from seed) because I forgot to take one yesterday and the entry has a group pic I snapped from the video

Doing well overall, some nutrient deficiency on the Candy Kush's, I've been feeding 3ml biogrow, 5ml biobloom, 1.5ml calmag, bringing ec up by 1.7

The fastberry was growing really thin blades for new leaves and showing some brightning weird colour of some leaves which looked like some excess of phosphorous. So give that girl and the trained short Candy Kush feed with biogrow and calmag only. Although looking at it today, looks like both Kush's are suffering from the same issue (potassium, magnesium or calcium deficiency?) so I'll increase biobloom and calmag in their next feed


Thanks for reading, please give any feedback comments.

I'm definitely going to try biotabs or living soil next, this nutrient feeding stuff is cumbersome and error prone from a stoner easy to forget things

Hello again,

Posting this a few days, the girls are doing ok, I've updated the grow diaries for week 9, you can see the details here:

Week 9 of mixed variety indoor grow

Alright, another week posting a few days late as I've taken these pictures on Sunday. Buds are growing nicely :D Upped the feed as they seemed to need it. EC is now going from a base of .6 to 2.4, feed per litre: 5ml biogrow 5ml biobloom 2ml calmag ph 6.4 So hard to resist harvesting the...

I realised that I missed up the picture I took on day 63 as the fastberry isn't really showing behind the bubble kush:

Can't wait, I think I'll harvest the Candy Kush (bottom left) in a couple of weeks. Bubble Kush in the middle and fastberry behind it need another week on top I think and Sugar Mama, well, who knows.

Thanks @muddy-ledhydroponic I put most of it down to these lights What I grew outdoors didn't have buds half the size of these

Me again, been a while

Had an emergency and had to leave the country in the girls last few weeks :s and when I returned I was too high to post an update. Might be a long one.

Here is a pic of the girls together before harvesting started:

Clockwise From top left:
Bubble Kush
Candy Kush 1
Candy Kush 2
Sugar Mama
Fastberry (center)

The Candy Kush 1 looked ready at week 11 and was harvested, producing 120g of dry bud

I then got the news that I need to travel, I decided to harvest the trees even though some could do with another week.
Harvested the 2nd Candy Kush at week 11 too which gave 100g. Seeing how the buds really shrunk on the CK2 when drying I decided that the other 3 girls can wait until I am back from travel.





Upon my return, the girls were good to go and I harvested the lot week 14

Fastberry: 100g dry

Bubble Kush: 140g dry

Sugar Mama: 50g dry

Bringing me to a total of 510g of dry bud. Which is quite impressive for a first grow I was aiminng for 250g so got lights with 500w because I told LED will give max .5 g per watt. What rubbish Really happy with those lights and highly recommend ledhydroponics lights.

I'll update with current grow some time soon.

Happy growing!
