New Grow in the Cash Crop After Light modification

[allmyown]

Well i have made what i feel is the best upgrade LED lighting i can safely get into this setup . i pulled the 20watt out that came with the setup , and I now got a Apollo 75watt (50watt actual ) UFO LED. I am going to only grow 1 plant in this setup for now on , this 1gal reservoir can only hold 1 root system , not built for multiple plants .So here we go ...

Grow is 1 Skunk #1 (seeded July 31st, Sprouted August 3rd)
Grow Medium Rapid Rooter 2" net pot.
ph balanced water with a very low feed of RX Grow A-B
LED is 24" from seedling

Goal is to top once at 4 nodes , LST , and successfully grow to harvest 1.5 to 2 oz of good bud

Very nice set up.. not sure about light height and I'm sure you could of grown atleast two but still very nice I like

 

[allmyown]

appreciate feedback Daskahn. I have tried more than 1 plant my last two grows , and had to remove a plant and went threw hell cause root system was tangled .actually on my way out now to look for something to rig lightning better . i want some mobility with it.

 

[Daskahn]

Put the plants at opposite sides? Or add a decider or just train the one to have more colas.. but hey these work wonders for light hangers

exacting what im looking to get. im going run a very thin rod about half inch from top ceiling to better hook the rig and light, which with the rig it allow me to lower or bring light up to half inch from ceiling . But so far the light fan and box exhaust fan is controling heat good

The modification seems to be working well ..Day 5 from sprouting girl seems happy

You might need to lower your light I think with led it's 18 inches your light should have instructions.. if not look it up but I think it's 18 give or take

Cute, though 1.5oz will be impressive off that light. I am interested to see how you'll pull it off!

light at 19" now Daskahn, seedling seem to love it. but will keep a close eye im still getting a feel for growing in this box.

LoL that my goal furrysparkle, if i can do that than i wont feel so bad for buying this $545 box! i saw what I thought was just what i needed for my situation . order ,didnt read sht, than decide to read and ask my girl to slap the hell out me for being so stupid !
So the good news is this my 3rd grow in this box, and my last grow using the 20watt LED that came with the setup , i harvest 12g of strawberry sour diesel . So with the light upgrade (which is the best i think i can do in this box without risk of a safety issue ) if i top, once, and some LST, i hope pull it off....i also plan to rig the light i remove at the door adding more light during flowering .

Watch their height if they get any taller before the next leafs they are reaching (my opinion)

update on my girl 3rd day of vegetation skunk #1
just change the reservoir and up the nutrient level slightly . i started her out on 7.5ml of RX grow A-B, and 2ml of hydroguard. PH at 6.5.
August 12th, reservoir change nutrients level is 12.5 RX grow A-B, 2ml of hydroguard, and PHat 6.5, Apollo UFO Led grow light at 18" above plant .
my girl seem be very happy ,good growth , and nodes are tight .my plan is to top in about 7 to 14 more days . give 7days for her to recover from topping , LST, and flip her to flowering .

 

[Daskahn]

Looking good

Update :
This baby seem be growing real good . Pictures taken today 4 days in veg, she already starting her 4th node. I plan to let her get to 6 nodes , top her back down to 3 nodes. Give her a week to recover , and then start LST.
I also decide that during light hours i am going to grow with the grow box door open , a fan blowing gentle air on the plant .
