Man this LED for the veg tent is really starting to annoy me. It shouldn’t be this particular. Following the mfrs recommendations I feel like the plants have slowed to a crawl, when I tried to push it a little leaves start living ok’ing weird. I’m currently considering boxing the thing up and just getting a 400w MH/HPS I think it would work better in this shorter tent anyways. And electricity is cheap in Oregon. Just venting 😀

Hey 99, you gotta have patience, especially since repotting, your light will be fine put it about 20-24 inches away an watch your plants an check out the new growth at the top.Then you can tell if you want to send it back.

Locrian, I agree with D.A.A.S.69 . Patience is needed!!!! Yes, your Oregon hydro power, (and mine)is comparatively cheap, but why waste it? Soil growing comes with different challenges and tradeoffs compared to hydro. One is, as DASS pointed out the slower start plants get, especially the recovery from transplanting. I seed directly into my final pot, which most people recommend against, because of slow starts. My auto has been up for a week now and its TINY by comparison to hydro. But there are some very real upsides to soil too. Believe me when I say we have all been impatient, to the point that we think we suck as growers. Believe me too that you are growing some nice plants there which will reward you in the end. Stay encouraged !!!

I’ll give it a few days, just not really thrilled with the performance of it this far. Probably a bit more of a learning. Examining pics from Sunday to today they do have a bit more growth than I thought they did. But after transplant with the cfl’s The AI’s took off, could be a strain thing I suppose.

Manifolding began today on the two aurora indicas and one of the Girl Scout cookies. They had 5 nodes 6th was coming out. Forgot to take a before of the Girl Scouts. Watered at 6.3, went to a little runoff so I could check it’s Ph came out at 6.6. Light is now at full power on the white and blue with 50% red at about 28â€. Thinking it’s time to switch to 18/6 as I’ve been doing 24/0 for the beginning. The runt Wonder Woman, and the WW and GSC seemed to be doing better now. Hopefully the GG#4 will be done soon, 63 days this Saturday, friend I got clones from says he’s never gone past 70 with it. Then the AI’s will stay in the small tent and the GSC and WW will be moved to big tent under HiD and everyone is getting new digs in 5 gal smart pots. Feeling better about them today 😀 oh yeah my white widow is curing and I tossed a 67 gram boveda in the jar thought it was odd that it’s holding st 60% not 62%. I doubt the 2% is a big deal I just thought it would hold at 62. Anyone know if that variation is normal?

Thanks! I’m getting super excited to being able to sample the fruits of my labor. Trying to follow the drying and curing tutorials to a T, so much of the home grown stuff I’ve tried you can really tell they dont really put much effort into that and it’s just not the same as the stuff you get from the dispensary. My friend who grows for medical patients (Guy I got clones from) does and his stuff is great.

proper cureing takes time and anyone who sells pot wont take the time to get it right, ,I find that sometimes the smoke will hold a couple of points off hasn't caused any problems. If my smoke gets down to 62 percent to fast I will keep burping for a couple of weeks

Well the wife went to visit a friend and the boy is taking a nap so I spent a chunk of time in the basement, messing with calibrating hygrometers, giving hair cuts, pouring some concentrated bat poop on my plants. You know fun stuff. Checked on the GG#4 in flower last night, nothing new there (day 63). She needs to get done I have a new reflector I’m just itching to put in. For the babies all of them have now been topped to the 3rd node. I was a bit sgressive on GSC 2 and WW2 in doing it sooner than nebulas tutorial but as they are already behind and have been growing great the last few days I didn’t want to waste anytime. Added 2 new additions to my nute line up for these girls. Raw silica and sea green from primordial solutions as a foliar spray (2x a week). Dropped led down to 23†and rearranged plants in tent to use the rectangular footprint of the light better (I had it like a cross from the footprint). Here’s some pics, AI one has what looks to me to be heatstress on her fan leaves. She’s been doing that the whole time, it’s 73 degrees in there and she’s growing better than any of them so I’m ignoring it. And I’m done rambling now 😀. Oh I did give them 1/8th strength of the week 1 fox farms feeding schedule and a 1/2 dose of the raw silica today.

I didn’t take a picture but on two of the larger fan leaves. One on WW2, one on AI 2 I saw a whitish gray circle a little smaller than a dime. Instantly thought WPM, was able to wipe off with a wet paper towel. They got sprayed down with neem oil today and I added a fan (only airflow was from intake and exhaust vents). Been meaning to give them a spraying with neem oil just was waiting til the manifolds were finished.
