Im running 2 of the Seedsman "White Widow" (left) and 2 Sweet Seeds "Red Hot Cookies" (right)​

Right on, from the looks things are working for you so far. I’d say keep doing what you’re doing. Gotta have a few strains to mix it up a little and see how plants react differently. What kind of light do you have running?

Thanks fam! I've got the Vivosun VS4000 lighting up my broccoli. It puts out very little heat which im thankful for, and for the price i cant be mad at it.

 

[Thejdubbs]

Yeah seems like the ladies are loving the light that’s what really matters. From what I understand most LEDs are nice as long as they have good diodes and drivers. I’ll be around to see the final product looking forward to it!

**UPDATE**
Both Red Hot Cookies have started their Trichome production.

 

[Mdawglynn]

Alright guys,

ive noticed an odd yellowing of my top leaves in just one area.
I am kind of leaning toward light stress so I turned my light down to 60%. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Also here are some more up close pics of my newly developed trichomes.

your plants look great, I would agree when you see bleaching like that up top with LED's back them off a little, good luck the rest of the way! Getting Frosty!

Thanks for the reassurance i needed that. I just purchased some bat guano and some kelp meal to add to my regimen. Also I have an Extreme Gardening Compost Tea brewing that i'll water with tomorrow.

Thanks man. Talked to my buddy at the grow store and he mentioned maybe a CalMag def, but idk it’s not really looking like that to me.

I would wait a few days to see how things look since you lowered the light intensity. You don't wanna be fixing deficiencies that don't exist lol.

You have hit a home run your first time at bat! Great job on your grow! You seem to have researched what you are doing and have a good handle on it so I have no new advice but it is great to see someone who has done their homework!

 

[Mdawglynn]

Alright, I do not believe it the highly sought after "fall colors" due to the fact that leaves are falling off on top and bottom of my canopy. Anyone have any advice?

 

[Mdawglynn]

Here is an update on my grow. Enjoy!

They look beautiful, Good job. Now you get to see what the drying and curing is all about. Good luck and research drying if you haven't already .

Thanks man. I’m ecstatic to have these results. Your right I’ve gotta shift my focus to where the magic happens now.

Very well done. Beautiful plants.
My concern is in the area of overfeeding. That can cause a lockout just like bad pH can.
I see some spots and tips that make me wonder if you are giving them too much. They can only eat so much.
I saw your feed schedule. It looks close to a recommended schedule from a food company.
Who helped you to put it together. It looks very complete.
