1/2 strength flowering nutes last Sunday have produced this:




The rear plant is about a week behind but forming up.




The top on the front plant.




I tried to capture the early trich's that are beginning to appear. The seeds may have been from a bag (unknown genetics) but it was very dank with frosting all over the buds. We shall see...

Soil is still a bit moist from last weekend's transplanting into 13" dia pots and subsequent watering/ferts. Photoperiod is still 12/12. Lower branches are filling in and beginning to crown.

Some random thoughts on this grow that I didn't mention before:

I have a total of 530 watts LED's in this room. The lights cost close to $2k. So this grow is obviously not trying to use LED's to grow cheaply, but rather to see if one can grow with similar results to HID watt for watt. Moore's law says that power usually grows exponentially every 2 1/2 years so the next generation of LED's should bring us to the point where penetration of canopy is less a problem.

Also the frequencies made by the TI ProBBloom include Orange, White plus Near and Far Reds. The output is much more like HID or sunlight that LED and does not have that pink cast to it. I'm sure that the 200 watts of side lighting doesn't hurt.

See ya next weeks unless there are questions.
