Pandora's Box and Pineberry in Super Soil Grow Log

[CuriousDaimon]

The topping adventure has had to be postponed because I do not have the room to set up a 12/12 section right now. Once a lead paint inspection occurs next week, I can get the soon-to-be-flowering tent up and put the tops in there.

In the mean time, we have had some phenomenal development. I will say this--No more Roots Organic alone. I will be cutting it with FF Light warrior to balance it out a little, as well as a full cup of powdered dolomite lime. The TGA seeds love the roots, but the others...not so much. You be the judge.

Since I won't be using my 2T5 for the tops, I moved it into the veg room. I know this will ruin any hopes of a "pure" LED run. However, I'm a noob who hasn't grown any medicine. When I have my own, I can invest the time to run a more methodical study.

Both lights are about 18" away, with the light covering the entire canopy. It looks much different with the white light, but the babies still get the LED good-ness.

As an update about the Lumigrow situation, they have been extremely helpful. Unfortunately, the replacement unit was DOA. That has been sent back and I am awaiting a working replacement--I think shipping was to blame. I am very pleased with the results of 3/4 working LEDs. I can't wait to see full-blow.

Enjoy the pics and movie link.

Your plants look great!
I am definitely going to try out an LED system on the future

Okay,

So I am not necessarily the greatest blogger so far. I can't even figure out how the pics can be rotated...they are from my iPhone and looked correct when viewed on my computer. Oh well, sorry for the neck spasms.

hey i had the same issue all you have to do is copy the image on your computer and open it with windows photo viewer.... on the bottom there will will rotate icons ... rotate as you like..... hope it helps... theres other programs out there that do the same if you dont have windows photo viewer

Man I really enjoy the LED hues in the pics!! Great looking cab!

We have topped the babies, and they look great.

I topped in the morning, after feeding the night before. Of course, I nicked a few shoots I wasn't aiming for but they healed great and are bushing nicely.

Enjoy some pics, and I will transplanting at least the four largest plants to the super soil tomorrow or Monday. I mixed the super soil yesterday and will turn it one more time before the transplant. Is 48 hours enough time for the plants to heal from topping before transplanting?

I also had to raise the lights somewhat. I hadn't checked the distance, and I wonder if that was affecting vertical growth.

Keep it easy guys and girls!

Does anyone watch the Youtube Videos?

Looking good.2-3 days later they should start to show new growth where you topped em so i would think once new growth appears you can transplant.

Hello Girls and Gents,

So, we've had a few changes to the veg tent. Four transplants (3x Pandora's Box and 1x Pine Berry) have moved to the floor and I brought the remaining plants down as well. I originally had a small table for the 1 gallons, but I was displeased with the light distribution and uneven canopy.

Also, I had moved a power strip outside of the tent. This remarkably dropped the temperature at least three to four degrees. In addition, the humidity has gone up to 55-60%. Today, I moved the power strip back into the tent to add some heat. To those who look at LEDs, please take into consideration the <i>loss</i> of heat in winter time. I'm hoping that bringing the temps back up to higher 70's will raise humidity. I am not a physicist, so I may be wrong in this assumption.

My pH runoff is disaster. 5.3 for the supersoil. In a bunch of threads, people don't seem to worry about pH. Also, this might change as the plants start feeding off the supersoil and not just the buffer. Again, I may be wrong in this assumption. I am contemplating investing in some pH UP, and would love some feedback on the stuff in soil.

Three weeks and counting until flowering begins, and I can't wait to start taking some clones of these.

I'll post some updates of the results of these changes over the weekend to compare the changes I made today.

One love, expand the minds, and open the hearts.
