HARD ON'S FIRST LST

[Marc Benson]

"light being reflected back up is lighting up those 2ndaires"

I read that the bottoms of leaves don't have any light receptors so lighting up the bottoms of the leaves isn't going to accomplish anything.

What covering the soil may do though is help promote mold. Not a good thing.

[HARDDON]

Well I certainly place respect on the assistance and advice.

NOrmally I use white marble chips for soil cover....but in this case, it simply isnt needed. With all those lights running I am producing well over 12,000 lumens per square...

I simply don't need anymore light, as light is plentiful with Kelvins of 6400.

They received their first nutes in life today....3 heaping tablespoons of bat shit and 2 gallons of water.

The lighting and layout as it is I think is working perfectly for two of the three.

Here is one...

BEFORE and 2 DAYS LATER....

[HARDDON]

Now remember this is 2 DAYS LATER

I have plenty of light.......there are now 9 new bud sites....

This LST is FUN

9 sites now showing in 2 days.....

FInally the 3 headed one.

Interesting but it appears the 3 heads now are original secondaries. They are not responding to the LST the way the others are with development of new shoots.

This may just be a 3 budded plant and thats it. If so, I'll just march her main grow tip back and forth up the railing.

I like this type of grow I can tell already. When ready to flower, hell I'll just throw the box below into the flower chamber and have me a field of buds

I'm excited again

ONe thing with the LST is you need to tie them and then retie them 2x a day. After a few hours of being on their sides, the grow tips upright themselves, stretch a bit and need to be retied.

I have done it twice this evening alone..

Looking awesome.

[HARDDON]

And this is why plants veg so nice

This is 430W of true Full Spectrum CFL @ 6400K...one bulb is 5000K...

You cannot buy these lights at the local harware store or nursery. With the fan on them, they are cool to the touch. Without the fan...ouch !

I'll post an udate tomoro night an you will see a nice growth on at least two of the three.

The 3 headed one will prolly just grow the 3 heads and I'll chop them off for clones maybe?

hey hd, where do you get your ballast's from???

[Marc Benson]

Looking good HD! You should take a look at Rezzinators 'HST'. A true vine type of a situation. But I had a question. What's the size of your grow area where these plants are growing?

[HARDDON]

hey hd, where do you get your ballast's from???

They came with the lights...I got at hydroasis.com

What's the size of your grow area where these plants are growing?

30" Wide x 18" Deep X 24" tall.

I will take a look at rezzinators HST. Thanks
