@Mañ'O'Green @Ripper

Is it ok that I change my plant? We're not at the 30 day mark and I got a auto flower portal mystery mix seed that is at day 14 or 15. This sweet seed devil cream not going so good and I like to change. Is that ok? I'm not polling in either battle, I'm just filling in a spot.

Thanks!

Ok with me. No one is locked into a plant until day 30 when I ask for it. Then you ride that horse to the finish or the bong whichever comes first.

Ok, plant change!

Dark Devil [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG]

Dark Devil [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] is a week behind and has an anomaly, the 2 tops. I Didn't pinch it off, this is how she grew. Being such a tight mass up to now, I haven't looked closely lest I damage her but she is starting to grow out so I'll peek under her skirt shortly to see whats going on.​

@Mañ'O'Green - LIGHT GOTY Week 3 Update. I'm eliminating one tent (5 plants) from further consideration in the Light contest. I'll pick final contestant from among these 6 here, from top to bottom, left to right: Mephisto ManBearAlienPig, Mephisto Fantasmo Express, Sweet Seeds Black Cream, Sweet Seeds S.A.D., Zamnesia Caramel, and Zamnesia AK-420.

Containers: 3 gal RainScience Grow Bags. I like these better than airpots or fiber pots. They easily provide as much or more air than airpots, but are not as messy by a long shot. And they provide more air than fiber pots. They are now my "go-to" container, except that I still run a few AutoPots each grow -- that's a totally different thing.

Medium: Roots Organics Original; amended with dolomite, azomite, silicium & worm casings; charged up before planting with ReCharge, Mammouth-P and a tiny bit of Roots Excellerator. During planting a tablespoon of Mycos is mixed in & around the planting hole.

Nutrients: primarily from the Greenleaf line-up; Mega crop v1, Sweet candy , Bud Explosion, and Kelp Extract. I also include a cal/mag supplement (currently using one from Advanced Nutrients). Approximately every 7 to 10 days I substitute ReCharge and SLF-100 for the feed program. At this early phase of their growth, the only thing they're getting is a fairly diluted mix of just MegaCrop, Kelp Extract, Sweet Candy and cal/mag.

Light: Amare SolarSpec SE450UVB.

@Mañ'O'Green my week 3 update at day 46 Dinafem Gorilla Auto using autopots with coco coir and Greenleaf Megacrop.

Here is an update on my Purple Punch Auto. She is going into flower she got a good stretch on. I now add 1gram of bud Explosion a gallon to my feeding schedule I'm at a 1/2 a gram a gallon and climbing. Airpots I use yellow and green bottom airpots this one is in a 3.8 gallon airpot.View attachment 1105937 View attachment 1105938 View attachment 1105939 View attachment 1105940 View attachment 1105941

@Mañ'O'Green
Week 4 Update
Binary Selections Blk Mrrr
Blk Mrrr is doing amazing so far. Pretty much all training is done, LSTing mostly. As for my lights, nothing much changed as I kept her a certain height, until now. Basically still using the 3500k AutoCob and have not raised yet.View attachment 1106243

@Mañ'O'Green

Week 4 Update

Day 26
Dutch Passion AutoBlackberry Kush

I topped her at Day 12, and have been training to open the middle and generate more tops. I am happy with the base structure, and think the plant is set up well for the upcoming stretch.

I am planning to use my KIND K300 LED for the entire grow this time, and will add in the ChilLED Logic Puck during flower. The KIND is 212 watts from the wall, and the CHilLED is adjustable up to 100watts. i will plug it in, but start low (25 watts) once true buds appear, and crank that up based on plant reactions. Temps in the cabinet is still a concern.

@Mañ'O'Green Week 4 Update. My girls are just showing sex and the lights have been turned up to about 600 watts and the 720nm initiator LEDs are running for 15 minutes at lights out. I will run the far red until the end of this week when I will turn them off and add the 2 - 48" fluorescent UVA Plus 10000K lamps. They improve the terpene profile.

The nutrients remain at the 70% of week 2 levels. One of the Dark Devil plants is showing what looks like a Phosphorus deficiency, one is showing what looks like Nitrogen toxicity, and the third is perfectly happy - all on the same nutrient mix? This is a perfect example of genetics in action.

Ok so in the previous post those updates were logged. I am experiencing some technical difficulties with the behavior of the new software or the Dabs!

When you quote a post and insert it - now it opens the pictures in the paste! When pasting multiple quotes it is too difficult to see the ends to insert individual thank yous and that is bad form.

@Mañ'O'Green - LIGHT GOTY Week 4 Update. Still running 6 contenders, but on Sept 30 I'll pick from: Mephisto ManBearAlienPig, Mephisto Fantasmo Express, Sweet Seeds Black Cream, Sweet Seeds S.A.D., Zamnesia Caramel, and Zamnesia AK-420.

The single light in this 4'x4' tent is the Amare SE450UVB. It has 3 sets of bulbs; monochrome LEDs, COBs and a UVB bulb. I run just the monchromes until the plants exceed 6" height. Then the COBs are added. The light cycle is always 20-on/4-off, and the height remains fairly constant at about 24-30".
Once flowering is well established, then I add 6 hours of the UVB bulb.
