Episode 3...Revenge of the LED

thanks for all the imput guys!!
these are 16 oz cups...not 8...so they are actually tall....the seedlings are only 10 days old...I have grown them substantially bigger in these cups before with no issues...I mean plants can get taller than this in a rapid rooter!
But weezard, I appreciate your imput, and who knows....may transplant em soon just for the hey of it if nothing else works....Put the humidity dome back on it to see if that helps too......keep yall posted
wondered if the 3 lights are too much, but i dont think too much is possible with these lights....worked fine starting the other grows.....
damnit........

SNS my plants are doing great I put them in the planters you see most plants come in gallon containers with the holes in the boottom and sides and put hangers under them to drain any excess water from them. I also put a fan in the closet and that has made it to where I can water it everyday instead of every 4 days. My Master kush plant is starting to grow some nice buds on them and I still have it 4 feet above the plants I have six of them going now and they all are looking great. The Master kush I have growing I brought in from outside is taking off it was perhaps a month old when I brought it in, I knoced off all the dirt from it and put it in potting mix and after a week of looking like it was limp it has been nothing but great since.

thats great melskid....but you mind starting a grow log? Ill come in and check on ya, its a lil proper etiquette on here to not repeatedly update your grow on someone elses grow log...all good in the hood man:thumbsup:

Stealth I agree with the rest of the group. I had an SNL x NH in a six inch pot for a couple weeks and it turned out to be UNDERFED....not OVERFED and it did better in a larger pot with FFOF soil. I say transplant to new soil.....perhaps some Happy Frog?

And while you can possibly "get them bigger" in your cups it's obviously costing you in plant health. TRANSPLANT UP!!

(worked for me and my babies.....about the same size as yours are now...;))

just seems early...10 days, 20 oz cup?...but okie...transplant i shall.....sunday...ish...:thumbsup:
WT

Yeah I was really afraid to transplant because the plant already looked overnuted with the yellowing lower leaves etc......but it just kept getting WORSE looking so I went ahead and put it in a one gal with FFOF and 1/3 Happy Frog.......the bottom leaves are turning green again and the plant is doing much better!! Hope it works for your kids too.

PS.....mine are same strain.....SNL x NH. ;)

ahhhh....i see said the, ...well yeah..heh:jointsmile:

Aloha Stealth.

I know how ya feel. "Done it before, worked jus' fine
Stickin' to what worked jus' fine last time almost doomed my grow.
Den realized that every strain, heck every plant is unique in some way. I've had to pull 'lings from 6" pots and found the tap curled before the second set of leafs was out. :wtf:
I'm blessed with plenty of head room, so I no need to stunt 'em by crampin' dey toes.
You guys got grit, holdin' down a job and growin'.
I'm a retired loafer with a small grow and it's allways sumthin' more that needs to be done.
Read through your last two grows, learned plenty, Mahalo.
Real happy that your new pups are perky again!
Been lurkin inna corner here, feelin' like a stepgramps.

Regard.
Wee Z.

tis good....and welcome weezy....yeah, Im sure you guys are right, lol...just trying to wrap my noodle around them getting cramped in 10 days....no complaints I guess:jointsmile:
gettin em in the 1 gal pots, (3 gal for church) tomorrow probably....bea easy all, and thanks weezy, and WH...guess an outside set o eyes is what I needed to comfirm...lol pics up after transplant!
peace pot and micro dots

WT

even just to rule it out is a good idea.....just want to make sure about things.....

and i thank you...;) i need to get on it more Im sure...lol
think i got the scrog thing nailed good for the SNLs...cant WAIT to see what that turns out...whatcha think WH...4 weeks veg with one topping at 4-5th node? good side branching on those? Im gonna be a weaving FOOL....lol

I shall not bother to write another word on your site. Just thought it being new you'd appreciate input from another lamp owners perspective.

and i do.....you can start a log/thread as easy as making a post....lil defensive? :wtf:thought i asked pretty damn nice....but whatever.....:jointsmile:
WT

Sounded very gentle to me
What da hey? Look like MK havin' a bad day.
Mo' betta he jus' burn one an' start a new thread, yeah?
Sorry, WW make me silly.

Weez

where are the new photos? i am following this thread very closely!

well....I was wrong. Weezard hit it on the nose, and WH verified....after cutting open the styrofoam when transplanting this morning....they had SERIOUS root development...fast as hell I thought, but just like weezy said, the taproot was long as hell, and curled at the bottom, sides were full o roots...
SO...in a nutshell.....i was wrong, but the are gonna pull through quite well...IMHO, i think they are gonna explode in the next few days after those roots realize they can move again...into some yummy FFoF....
just goes to show, no matter how long you have been doing something...an outside set o eyes can be all ya need to get over an issue your having.....WH, weezy....thanks guys!!!:joint1:

Shows ta go ya!
Even a blind pig finds an occasional acorn.
Glad I could find one for you.:)

Like I said before, I owe you guys.

Afraid my homebrew LED lights might not cut it fo' da flowers.
Mahalo nui fo' bein' dere.
An' no just me eider!
You've done a solid for monochromaniacs 'roun da world.
Hope you take a mo' and pat yerself onna back, Brah.

Mebee when dis prohibition end you get da public props you deserve.
I mean, damn! You made history!

Regards,
Weez

WT, I'm glad to see you are moving forward, my friend! Now that all of those beautiful babies have plenty of elbow room, I can't wait to watch them take off! We all get by with a lil' help from our friends!

I'll be following along from here on out! Be good out there!

thanks for the kind words weezy and jake! getting kinda overlaoded...but i dig it! running 6 strains total now in 2 rooms, one SOG, one SCROG....woohoo!!!!...just trying to affirm the LEDs capabilities...learned enough with the last few LED grows...think these two grows will be the winners of the LED debate...so I got alot riding on it....for myself mostly...and anyone watching...lol:thumbsup:
eh.....stoned as hell rambling again....:joint1:
whiskeytango

Those little munchkins do like to grow don't they?? :D

LOVE the pig/acorn line. :S2:

Girls are lookin good WT. Thanks, by the way. I went with Ocean Forest based on your first LED grow and the shit is amazing. It's so light and good... never been big on gardens or nature (funny eh?) but that soil was absolutely a dream to work with while transplanting.

:thumbsup:

Aloha Whiskey Tango.

I notice that you use tap water.
Just wonder if you have an aerator on that tap.
Makes a big difference. Roots gotta breathe.
Did a little experiment a while back. Noticed that girls who got fresh rainwater did better than girls that got stored rainwater.
Then got to thinkin' 'bout aeroponics.
Now I mix fresh nutes in a gallon jug. then split that water between 2 gallon jugs.
Then just before I pour, I put a cap on the jug and shake the hell out of it to dissolve some air.
Try it, you'll like it.

Best
W.
