This AIN'T you first rodeoHullo all,
Longtime lurker first time poster. Figured I would share my first LED grow with you all.
To begin with, I started out with 7 clones, 3 white widow and 4 blueberry. To make a long story short these clones, at least the widows, came loaded with the borg and I took too long to realize and they infested the widows. Ultimately no treatment killed them but I observed my blueberry plants didn't have one single mite, they were resistant, so I killed the widows. 5 weeks later and all is well.
So I'm running a 4x4 tent, 4 blueberry clones, 2 inline fans one intake one exhaust, cotton pre filter and carbon exhaust filters used, one air mover, golden rod, dehumidifier yadda yadda
I meant to post this grow earlier but pictures of plants in veg is boring anyway. Im currently 4 weeks into flower and I'll be germinating seeds soon for my next grow, some cindarella 99.
Initially I started the grow with just a mars hydro 700 blurp but it left me feeling underwhelmed. So before flower I made sure there was a spider farmer sf2000 in place beside the mars to double down on light. And of course I wanted to get on the QB train. Now I'm not complaining about the mars (yet) but I like symmetry and shiny things... I would like to run another sf2000 or maybe one of the QB options from another manufacturer. Open to advice and help from anyone with experience!
@SpiderFarmerLED
Tomorrow once Im off work Id like to share more photos of my whole set up so I can pick all your brains for more tips and tricks. Thanks for looking eh.View attachment 1000598
Is this 2 days of darkness before flower..Ancient Astronaut theorists say the last 2 days of the plants lives should be lived in total darkness. The plants think the world is coming to an end and send tons of resin shooting to the buds. I did the 2 days of darkness (in my homemade mummy cage) and the plants grew nicely during that interval.
Will you do 2 days in darkness, add honey, slice partially or any of that other as you near the finish jar?View attachment 1011954View attachment 1011955View attachment 1011956
Halfway thru the seventh week and they look just delicious. I think the two plants under the @SpiderFarmerLED are doing better than the two under the Mars but I plan on drying and weighing the plants separately of eachother and reporting back with the results. I could sure use another board to push this tent further. Next grow will feature a scrog
Ancient Astronaut theorists say honey is money on other planets. Either one 1 tbs per gallon as a treat towards the flush, molasses is harder to dissolve in water, most people have honey on their shelves.Ill give em the 2 days darkness with a before and after to see if it makes a difference. Not planning on the slice and dice.
Whats the honey deal? Something like using molasses at the end? Should i give it a shot??!
Nice lady
Beautiful bro. I harvest 253 my first.Final update for anyone interested. Cut dried and weighed I harvested 246.5 grams under the mars hydro ii 700 (340 watt) and under the sf2000 (200 watt) 242 grams. Overall 17.4 ounces from the 4x4 tent. Im very happy with the results, Im in the middle of jar curing now and the smell has been developing from an overwhelming peppery pine into a more herbal aroma.
These two lights are on the chopping block though and my hlg550 should be delivered by tomorrow. Never been a better time to support local manufacturing. Cheers.View attachment 1021165View attachment 1021166View attachment 1021167
