Well for those who say that its not potent. I just smoked a fatty and didn't make it all the way. Purple Kush...But I am a new grower finishing my 1st grow . I am going to do soil one more time and in the winter experiment. Gotta get my stash tight...lol

 

[Blue Garden]

they're filling out. budsites are gaining weight and branches bending

 

[Blue Garden]

been hittin em w/ sum micro nutes, mkp and some extreme blend. it's causing em to bust out even more hairs

 

[MagicSeth]

You are one awesome dude. To build your own light. Grow man grow!!! I love this.. I have an electronics background so this might be a good winter project to build.

 

[Blue Garden]

flushed for the past few days and chopped off the tops. the really large ones were getting bud rot from the density. i lost out on some nice buds.

Awww man damn rot! Those do look like nice size nugs. I must put in my vote now and say I do think your light can possibly achieve a g/w.

 

[Blue Garden]

the pix don't do it justice. they're round like balls. i still have alot of bud to chop. left the ones that haven't turned rock hard on there.

LED ...I love the stealth aspect of the LED grows.. I am moving in that direction and am adding a 135 watt lighthouse hydro to my veg stage next week... Fantastic grow...Please give a dankness report it sure looks that way.:)

 

[Blue Garden]

choppin today. will post pix of the bounty

will do seth.

 

[MagicSeth]

Kool . I got my light house hydro light and my Star Trek glasses time to start beaming up some Cannabis....lol I am not concerned about weight only dankness..ummm because I am growing for me...I am looking at your design for your led light very clever....who says that weed kills brain cells if it does it kills the ones you want to get rid of anyway...lol

 

[Blue Garden]

lol

 

[Blue Garden]

well, i want the most out of a light as possible. i grew some pineapple earlier this year and got 2.5 oz dry from one plant. some of the best smoke i've ever grown.

 

[Blue Garden]

1. so 3.9 oz dried from the tops.
   
   
   chopped the rest of em here. will weigh the dried stuff after trim. should get at least 8oz dried from this grow.​

 

[Blue Garden]

alright finished trimming what i thought is worth trimming. the rest is gonna be turned into hash.

total dry weight from this grow is 12.9 oz. i think it could have been better but oh wells. i'll live with the results. some of the nugs were really really big.

i foliar fed bloom nutes all the way up to week 4 which i believe helped with this grow. the idea came from sp1 at RIU The Lost Art of Foliar Feeding
there are people for it and against it. i like to try things for myself and see the results before saying it does or doesn't work. air flow is necessary to avoid PM. foliar feeding made a lot of sense as imo it's similar to hydro where you can feed it frequently. in soil you must wait a few days between feedings through the medium. i fed 2 medium feedings through the soil weekly with a watering between. the foliar was fed daily.

if i were to do this again, 1)i would have went with coco as the medium instead of soil as it dries faster. 2) used more blue leds for quicker veg. 3) went with a different strain (it's a indica and the bunched leaf grow really sucked as some of the small fan leaves between the tight budsites died. as a result, the really big dense buds rotted. i know i lost a lot of weight because of this.)

here is the bud porn. thanks for all those who followed along. it has been a ride for me with these leds.
