The reason for the sudden break in my first growlog was that I commited just about every error you can make growing cannabis, including the greatest sin of all. causing pain and distrees to my girlfriend and her plant...hell hath no fury etc etc. 3 days after putting her perfectly healthy plant in with my LED and the lower leaves started turning yellow along with mine. My g/f is very old school and blamed the LED and I was in no position to deny the strong possibility. things were very strained for a week or so. but after After a long weekend in Athens and a week in the Gulf of Naples where I reacquainted myself with Moroccan hash the air of disdain had thawed considerably and i decided to restart.
It was only when I saw my girlfriend watering her plants, that I realised where i had been going wrong, CHRONIC UNDERWATERING!!! I also had the LED on 24/7 which is not good. Thanks to Autoberry on this forum who provided a lot of useful information on using Quantum Bloom LED lamps. I have also consulted with Muddie (owner of Quantum Bloom who is available most of the time for any help you might need.)
my set-up has changed its still a 90x 90 x 180cm SJ grow tent with a 240w Quantum Bloom LED, but now with a 200w CFL (courtesy of a friend) and a 110w CFL hung lengthways. I have 1xWOS? Pakistan Ryder ( started in late May and spent its first 5-6 weeks eking out an existence on our balcony and inside against the window as the heavens poured rain in Biblical proportions) 3x auto-seeds Auto#1 (which went in on the 1st of July and were chosen because they are apparently idiot-proof to grow) and 2x WOS afghan kush ryder (planted out on the 7th of july once the Auto1s had started growing well)
the earliest photo shows one of the Autos after a week, the second shows the Pakistan Ryder on the day it entered my tent, looking thin and bedraggled. The third is a shot of my setup at the end of the second week with the Afghan Kushs just visible in the centre. The final picture shows the pakistan ryder after a spell under the lamps, it really filled out in just a week
