Episode 4: The Clone Colonies

Few plan changes...Seeing how well the Church that was hacked did in a 5 gal...I cloned the church mum we got (week old pic below) only 4 cuttings, and Im gonna veg her a wee bit longer, and transplant to a 5 gal...Thinking it may be the first QP LED grown plant:woohoo:
The HK#5 was frosty, but in the end, #4 was just as frosty and much fatter, so I culled the HK5 mum, and chopped for bonsai the HK4.
HK#2 will also be getting culled out, took 5 clones for filing the rooms sake, but culled the mum. Either a NCDG or Yeags MTF x BI wil be taking its place.
SO....15 clones cut, 13 to be going in the flowering room soon as episode 3s girls are done.
Pics tomorrow on the clones in veg, clones in flower, and the mums....lol

Hello, I've been reading and lurking for some time now and am really impressed. I've also been following the Procyon and LED grows at Experiments with Hydroponics, Aeroponics, and LED Grow Lighting. The LED grows seem to be getting better and better. Did you see Ryan's test of the SmartLamps? Truly awesome, but at $1400 a pop it's just a bit much.

SNS, do you think a fruitful seed to bud grow can be attained with the Procyon without any supplemental lights? Let's say the grow room is 9sq ft and all other systems are working well.

Thanks and looking forward to continued reading and learning.

Your answers my young padawan....lie in our first thread "LED Growing-An Instructional Grow Log. Link in the siggy....warning...its 1000+ posts long...But it was a pure LED grow, from seed to bud under the procyons...

Thanks for your reply.

I have read and scanned that set of posts several times and here's my synthisis of 48 pages of posts in LED growing- An instructional grow log, 17 pages of Episode 3 and the few pages here to a couple of sentences.

Yep it can be done all LED but you'll get a bigger yield if you add full spectrum floros or HID as in Episode 3 with the T12 floros. And for your next grow you plan on adding HID 70's? The upshot is LED good. but adding HID or floros is better?

I know this is all experimental and learn as you grow but do you think adding other lights to the mix is best?

Correct,
We have found that something is definitely lacking with the LEDs. Dont get me wrong, you will still get some super dank with a procyon alone, but the yield and it appears finishing time are effected. So, IMHO, (and a few others I guess) adding the 3 70W HPS to the mix will give them the far-red/infrared that they need, or at least that we think we need. We could do this with LEDs, but the specific ones needed like the 730Nm are very expensive and sparse. So for now, we feel the HPS will do best. Damn sure cant hurt...lol
The floros, although only used for about 75% of the flowering cycle arent doing shit at the height we have to have em, so they are for the birds...

link doesnt work. its the one that is meant to be aimed straight down with a circular lampshade(?) aiming the light to the ground. of course well be mounting them differently.

db:smokin:

Aww funk, it was there yesterday. They also had a 50 watter.

Yes it's the one that points down and has a little hat on top. I'll be interested in seeing how it's taken apart and remounted.

Stay tuned...you soon shall see, lol.
