Lighting Led - 8 ball kush & w/widow - 1st grow - 12/12 sog

[Leeroylee]

Yo Mr Kip! Ez Bro!

Its only been a couple of days but they needed some food, so i took some snaps too!

They are deffo growing well now, getting bigger slowly but surely! The LSt is coming on well, The stems are real woody now so im hoping the plant wont straighten out again once i release the tops from their bondage! Still pretty short but i can def see a slight height improvement , 1 of the widows is still a real runt tho!

EEEzzz

Ps they are in 2ltr pots atm - i dont see any roots at the bottom yet - will they be ok to stay in these pots til harvest? Cant really pot up due to space but maybe able to squeeze 4x4 ltr pots in> is it worth it, Im gonna be switching to 12/12 pretty soon, A little disheartening to see how short they are after almost 5 weeks veg time lol

Peace:thumbs:

Hmm they may be root bound bro? You can leave them in a 2L pot and you will just have some small plants. Maybe next time try a few 3L Airpots, you will get good yields from them even at 3L. Noods uses them wilts great results!

You could transplant them now, and veg them abit longer to see if they grow any more, if not flip the switch to 12/12 grow and let them bloom into some sticky buds
And don't forget them will stretch when you flip to 12/12 and they may be 2 or 3 times the size they are now bro.

I was wondering why my plants were quite small, or so I though. Our LED make the plant concentrate on lower growth before they expand. And don't forget yours are photos not autos so it like even longer if you think about it.
I notice a difference in my since changing from HPS, they would be bigger but I believe this time round they look a lot healthier under led. Always a good temp and mine are so so green, like a bright pea green.

How much are you feeding them? Try upping them with some grow and they look like they need some cal/mag?

Hey bro , thanks for the reply, even though they are small there is a shit load of lower growth going on and they look real nice n lush green so hopefully they will pick up in size soon, will grab something for the cal/mag issue... a few things I've already learnt that will deffo make a difference:

I had the lights real close to start with

The intake/extract of air in the cupboard is poor

The soil is not great (standard compost)

I haven't been properly ph'ing the water I give them as I need to get some calibrating solution

Thee little (but vital) things will make a big difference for sure! I've Been feeding a bit erratically too 2ml of bio grow every other feed roughly? But not been too accurate as I'm using a teaspoon to measure!

Proper noob grow I tell thee lol but at least I HAVE learnt from it

Got some awesome news today anyway , I'm moving the grow to my friends loft, much better security wise and worry wise! Also gonna order another ms006 and a dr120 or dr150 -
I will certainly be potting these straight up Into 10ltr airpots in decent soil as soon as they are moved gonna get the tent this weekend and order the other light too!! So excited got a couple of blueberry seeds which will be added to this grow

As usual I have some questions

1). 4-6x 10 ltr airpots under 2x ms006 - is 10 oz achievable per harvest

2) if I pot these up into 10 ltr pots how much longer should i veg for before flowering

3). Will 2 of these lights be enough to grow 6 plants

Gonna be moving the grow in the next day or two will keep ya updated

I like your photos. Your pictures are nice too :roflcry:

Get it cause they're photoperiods and you thought I was complimenting your photography skills, which I did, but only after making an outrageous pun. Your plants look good all tied up. Short but healthy. Good choice in genetics and lights btw. Healthy growing!

 

[Leeroylee]

Hey man thanks - cant wait to get another light, tent and get them into bigger pots..

And the pun was amazing :joint:

Ez bro

 

[Leeroylee]

Hey all, SO last couple of days at my place , then the move to the big tent and another light asap!

Gonna pot up the 4 best ones - they are in 2 ltr pots at the moment, looking to go into 10 or 15 ltr pots through to harvest, is it ok to pot straight up from 2 ltr into 10 or 15? they will be airpots... We will let them veg for another few weeks once transplanted..

A few pics after feed, week 5.5 from seed

Hey Guys, Finally got the new light installed, It looks a little different to the first, bit bulkier, but rounder and sexier!:no:

Still need to position the lights a bit closer and better to optimise coverage, Waiting for 3 LA Confidential fem's to crack, they have sunk after soaking so chucked em in some paper towel and will plant in 2 litrew pots to start... They will get only 2-3 weeks max vegging time as the other plants will need switching soon..

I have a problem with a couple of the plants , not sure if some of it is because of the fan that was blowing RIGHT next to them but a few of the leaves have gone a bit yellow on the edges and crisped and curled up??? may be a deficiency? Its only appeared in the last 3 days since the fan went in! TBF it looks ten times worse under the LEDS, I was horrified when i first saw them lol

Any advice as always appreciated greatly!:thumbs:

I can see the pics very well bro, but it does look a little like Mag, maybe Cal. It's the most common def at this stage mate. Do you have any empsom salts or cal mag?

 

[Leeroylee]

Yo bro , I had a feeling it could be after reading a few diaries and seeing it mentioned quite often , I don't have any but will get some tomorro - nice one :smokebuds:

Apart from that they really are growing well , proper bushy - is it best to have the lights close to each other like I've got them ? So the plants get some of both light or should I spread them out a bit ?

Peace ps a new camera is top of the agenda too lol

Maybe separate your girls abit, put a few under each light.
