LED growing- An instructional grow log

[d4twamp]

hey sns do you think the 3 leaf formations are a freak led induced occurance being that maspino is getting the same results under leds

[SnSstealth]

Looking fine so far. I love it.

For some reason the first photo of the last 8 makes me want to snap off the top half. Just above where those 50 branches are. Can we see if we can get 100 branches there, or something?

bushy little girl aint she?

What kind of box are you using to keep these in? What are the dimensions? Is that mylar for a reflective?

2'x8'x8' closet in my bedroom. yeah its mylar, works great too.

its a little early to tell, seeing as we only have 1 from a total of 23 (originally). still cant wait to see what happens to her in flower!

im a first time grower and i currently have 1 plant under 2 cfls, my grow space isnt the tallest but is the most secretive so id like to keep it there is there any way i can keep the plant kind of short
sry to get off ur LED subject but it seems like theres alot of experienced growers here so i thought id ask

good luck with getting some quantity and quality out of the LEDs

[SnSstealth]

it MAY be alien from the LEDs...no way to tell yet, only one out of the 23 did it....before the cross, none of my jack herer or bubbleberry showed this deformity...so it may be from crossing them, or the light. OR....opie is right, the aliens came down, saw the wierd growing plants in purple, and decided to mate with it
Thats my story, and im sticking to it

Damn SnS those babies are looking great! Glad to here you are using the fox farm nutes with the ocean mix since that is what I will be going with in the near future once I can save some bills. Do you follow the fox farms chart or did you come up with your own?

Keep it up guys

You're looking for indica varieties, which are shorter and more bushy, as opposed to sativas which are taller and more skinny. Also check out lowryder or better lowryder2, which are ruderellas, which flower immediately whether you like it or not, under any light schedule. Look in seed banks for info on specific varieties, such as Marijuana Seeds (cannabis, pot) shipped worldwide

sorry to step off the subjec stealth, but also try to grow in a smaller
container
i know that if i had a bigger pot my plants would also be much bigger, with a touch of second guessing there since i am using coir
so roots get more air

stealth> im worried that the 3 leaves may be the plant already decided
on being a hermie
im not sure yet of course but i just wanted to share thoughts just
in case i might forget later on and had to explain so it doesn't seem
like im just pointlessly rambling
another thing, would you think that it'd be invalidating our experiments
if i decided to put my plant in the sunset for like an hour and half?
he sun is just so bright and orange right now, i want to take advantage
of the free energy

[SnSstealth]

of course i think setting them outside would be compromising.IMO...

[maspino1]

not outside, just on the windowsill
but i won't do it anymore, it only had about an hour of orange sunlight today
grr im so impatient

There are other places that sell seeds for cheaper. Shop around a little and find the best deals. I just ordered some seeds from a company. Haven't received them yet (i'll let you know if there are any probs) but their prices are a lot lower than anywhere else i've seen.

Also, i seem to remember someone saying that a certain part of the light spectrum induces the plant to orient its branches toward the light, and it doesn't seem to me like your test plant is doing much orienting. Perhaps you are lacking the proper light spectrum for positive tropism (i think that's what that is called)? And if so, it would be a great experiment for the manufacturer to test what kind and how many lights in this spectrum are needed (fewer the better for most efficient use of energy) to induce this moving of branches.

Any thoughts?

Peace!
