Indoor My second autoflower grow log - HBD, KVS, Ultraviolet, La Diva, Sour diesel haze, Biodiesel mass

Well, Philips and Cree have been going back and forth for years on their chip efficiencies. In any given month, either one could be claiming the best LED out there.

But from what I understand (and I may not be right-- this was told to me by a Cree insider) all of Cree and Philips red, amber, and yellow dice are actually made by Osram. Cree is a silicon carbide company-- all of their production is actually just blue and white LED chips. Philips lighting also.

They both buy dice (unpackaged chips) in red, amber and yellow from Osram, and then put the chips into their proprietary packages. In the same vein, Osram buys all of their blue dice from either Cree or Philips...

So, if you have a Cree or Philips fixture with red, amber, blue and white, you are actually running chips made by Cree or Philips AND Osram.

UPDATE:

After trying for a long time to figure out why my babies were losing leaves and yellowing between the veins, I decided to try foliar feeding with Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) and calcium acetate.

Worked like a charm! Everything is back to the emerald green I had earlier, and the babies are growing bud like crazy again.

Thanx to all those who assisted!

First harvest-- HBD #1 -dwarf plant. The rest probably need about 2-3 weeks more.

Yield: 105g (wet). Hung to dry

big grins


For the rest:

HBD #2: huge plant, about 48" high. Just now starting to add bud mass (at 68 days). High hopes for this monster.
Sour diesel haze (dwarf plant) is getting HUGE. Can't support the weight of the bud anymore, so she's all tied up. (this bitch is in bondage!)
La Diva #1 - dwarf, looking very nice.
La Diva #2 - about 36" tall, progressing nicely, but small buds
Biodiesel mass #1 - about 40" tall, huge buds, tied up for the weight. Main cola about 6" long, 3" diameter so far
Biodiesel mass #2 - about 35" tall, small buds, having issue with deficiencies constantly.
KVS #1&2 - both plants dwarf, very similar in size and weight, putting on bud mass nicely
Ultraviolet #1 - a real star. About 30" high, main cola is about 4" in diameter, and maybe 20" long. Freaking monster.
Ultraviolet #2 - stunted from small container, but looks like a mini of it's sister. Should yield excellent weight for the size of the plant.

Harvested 1 week ago: biodiesel mass #1. It was starting to look a little weak, not a big yielding plant. Got about 56g wet, yielded 29g dry.
