Indoor Platinum LED grow...garden of weeden

[milkmann]

Day 13. Starting to open themselves out now. Been giving them a bit of light feeding.

Wondering why one or two of them are droopy. Can't tell if it's under or overwatering. So far they've been getting between 50-100ml of water once or twice a day, as well as a misting once a day. LSD-25 looks especially happy. Would be good to get some more people along! Any input would be appreciated :smoking:

Day 19 update. Pretty happy with how they're going so far. Anyone got any tips in keeping internodal distance as tight as possible? These pics were taken just before I fed them with 400ml of feed each.

Looking good @milkmann. RE the nodal distance, if you keep the light at the reccomended distance, 600cm for Grow, 45cm for Bloom, it'll keep things nice and tight, come bloom time, the plant will stretch out, and look less 'busy'. Ive been using Platinum for a year now, I love them. Though having only used HID in the past, ive got nothing to compare to.

Now that's what you call a stealth grow.

I know what you mean, its hard getting started, but, grow, and they will come.....

Update: took these last night, day 21, and today I switched the light onto full power mode. Gonna give them all another light feeding @ 750ml each and see how they take it. Need to try and lessen these internodal distances and space is tight anyway dont' want to waste any. It's getting pretty busy in there. There's one small Dinafem industrial plant auto that isn't going to do so well, so she's been relegated to the corner so the other plants can use the light. Hopefully I'll still get 5-10g from her

Anyone got tips for keeping it from getting too intense in there? I'm using those 'stemz' training device things which are a gentle form of LST basically.

Have you not thought about super cropping the tall ones? Itll more or less stop upward growth, the rest of the plant will explode

@Ribbzzy isn't it a bad idea to do that to an auto? I have considered it mind!

The first 2 weeks of an auto is kid glove time, after that, I treat them like photo period plants. They withstand an amazing amount of abuse, maybe its the ruderalis autoflower trait that makes 'em tough, but they are tougher than some people will admit. Ive supercropped well into flower, and seen no adverse effects. If anything it can be beneficial.
