SOIL Fat Banana Grow Diary/ Viparspectra R900 VS. Lumatek Attis 300W

[CaptainWiese91]

So I Got a new grow light from Lumatek. And I have enough space for both the old Vipar and the new Lumatek. So why not make a grow jornal out of it!? And see what light will produce the best buds ?

information about grow.
strain: 9x Fat Banana

Medium: Standard Tomato soil.

Light: ViparSpectra R900 (380 watt) / Lumatek Attis 300 (300W)

Nutrients/ Supplements: Cal-mag (GH), Voodoo juice (Advanced Nutrients), PK 13/14 (Canna), Blackstrap molasses (organic)

Pot size: 30 L

Ph levels: 6,2-6,4

Temperature: 25-30 Celsius

Humidity: 45-55%

Training techniques: Will try to make manifold on all of the plants.


I think I summed it pretty good up? If I’m missing something please notify me and I will of course correct it And the information above about the nutrients it’s what I intends to use when needed for the plants

So currently the plants under the ViparSpectra is 15-22 days old today.
And under the Lumatek the plants are currently 1-2 days old. Except for the biggest one of course - it’s about 15 days old.

The reason for this is I started out with 5 just for the Vipar, then my lumatek light came after 15 days into the grow and I decided to hurry my ass up and installed the lumatek for 4 plants more in grow tent.
It’s my first time trying the lumatek - so I really don’t know anything about this lamp, and what type of height I need to adjust for the plants. This will be a learning experience also !

One thing more; I had one seedling that only made 1 coly leaf and 1 normal leaf. So it’s a mutant !? But I add some pictures of the plant now and I really don’t know what to think about it🤔

I will upload some pictures as the grow continues of course.
And please write your thoughts, pros and cons through out the grow.
Happy growing !
Capt.

Looks good Capt! Pretty neat how that little.mutant is growing

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Many thanks. The start up is always a little boring in my opinion
Yea ! I’m a little worried on how it’s going to grow, and it’s going to be a weird manifold I’m making in this one 🤔🤣

 

[golfnrl]

Your set up looks real good. That Lumatek is sweet looking. Hope it produces. I like the mutant and hope she turns into a healthy harvest.

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Thanks
Yea its Really Nice. A heavy Price for the light, but I hope and thinks it’s going to be worth it. It’s produces absolutely no sound. No fans running for cooling the whole thing, like the Vipar. If everything goes well I buy a second lumatek in the winter and use the vipar for something else

Going for a Photo run eh CaptainWiese91 ?

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Yes mam 👍🏻 Always photos inside and always autos outside
Just finished my indoor critical kush photos for 4 weeks ago.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Well howdy i like it. I'm doing both also but my outdoor are not doing well photo wise. It's a shitty summer so far in my part of Oregon once again. 15degree coolier than normal temps. less sun. It's making it very hard for me to grow on my property and having to move plants around to get the sun. I'm getting to stiff to crawl around under things and plant guerilla style LOL. My indoor autos are doing great. Best of luck and look forward to watching the grow

 

[NickyChicks]

She may surprise you once you start training. I'm rooting for the mutant! Do you know about how long you plan to veg them for?

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Maybe you are right. Maybe she Will be the best producer

I don’t have an estimated time for the veg. My last fault on the last grow was I switched to soon. So I think it will be around 6-7 weeks of veg, but again it depends on how big the plants get of course

 

[CaptainWiese91]

I have so high walls around my property In Portugal and I still moving my plants around so they get 12 hours of sunlight. But again another climate as we spoked about
15 degrees lower is quite a bit actually. This is why an indoor grow is so much appreciated.
Though I really like sun grown buds to be honest

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Well it's a very off year weather wise here, never predictable anymore. Looks like it's going towards faster shorter hybrids to be honest in my yard LOL

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Next year make 15 plants outside like me, then you are covered a little bit 😅

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Yes but all autos strong ones and not outside till end of june LOL

Weather sucks in the Pacific northwest.

 

[AccidentalGardener]

I am having the same shitty summer up in N. WA (nearly the wilds of BC) My regular summer garden is suffering. I'm out there watering my containers in the flipping rain and I feel like an idiot. But it's not enough rain to do anything except make it Steamy Magoo during the sunbreaks. Oh, the humidities!

 

[AccidentalGardener]

I'm barely managing to get dandelions to maturity, LOL

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Sorry to hear that mate 😒
Mother Nature work in mysterious ways sometimes.
I have the totally opposite problem.
I have 33-35 Celsius everyday now, so I’m battling the heat outside.

 

[CaptainWiese91]

A little update.
They are growing as expected. This phase is always a little boring for me😆.
Most of the plants are at the 5th node now. Waiting for 6 nodes before I will start manifold.
The mutant is finally growing normal. With nodes on both sides equally.
So now I know where I should make the manifold on this mutant baby girl. 👍🏻
The new light Lumatek is doing a great job, Its running on 80% only, and they are growing fine under this light. I misjudged the height a little bit, but it’s was expected as this is the first grow with the lumatek.
The Vipar is doing great as always, only running on the “veg” bottom for now.

thanks to the ones who are following this project
Happy growing !

 

[SoOrbudgal]

It's looking great in there i totally agree about them at the boring stage training is so fun.
