First Indoor 600w Led Experiment

Irietime · Dec 9, 2016

Topped the three larger plants today, day 18. Noticed on two plants some overall yellowing of leaves. Not stoked. Any suggestions?? I raised the light a couple inches to maintain the 18inches and I gave them a light dose of grow big. Wasn't planning on nutes this early, but they looked in need.

They need a feed indeed just a light one to get them started looking very nice .

Day 21. Plants are growing, bottom left strawberry kush is the healthy girl, the others are all suffering from a mag or iron or both deficiency do to ph issues I believe. Waiting on my ph pen to check my Hose water. In the mean time I gave them a foliar feeding of chelated iron with magnesium, hopefully buying me some time till I figure out the ph and getting the plants some much needed nutrients. Just transplanted the three bigger plants into two gallon pots, the other three plants are a couple weeks behind. Transplant went well, there's a little droop to the leaves, but I think they'll bounce back in a day or so. Keep you posted on the deficiencies. Hopefully things will turn around. Peace

Here's the straw kush on the bottom left, by far my best grower of the batch. Filling in super short plants it's only like 5-6 inches tall. I don't know if thats an led light thing or what, but that's not what happened when I grew my first grow outside.
Here they are tonight couple days past three weeks for the three in two gal pots. Youngest is about a week,it's kind of a mutant not sure what it's gonna do. Looks like it's gonna split into two branches on second node. The mystery seed (middle back row) started a little shaky, buts seems to have gotten through it. The Girl Scout cookie (middle bottom) is still pretty yellow along with the back left straw kush. I've foliar fed both for two days with chelated iron/magnesium. I think I'm gonna stop with foliar feeding for a while and see if there are in changes. Still waiting on my ph pen to check my water, pretty eager to do that, get everything situated. Looking into getting some either 3 or 5 gallon smart pots for my next up pot. Turns out I got a killer hydro store in a close neighboring town that sells them and they also had some soil called vermisoil, thinking of picking some of that and adding it on next transplant. It's all organic. I think that's it for now. Peace just posted picks twice on accident. Time to shut it down. Lol

Day 24. Found out today I had my light way to close to the canopy. Had it about 18inches from tops for the first three weeks and kind of stunted them, super shorties. But good news is I raised the light to 3 ft above and hopefully they'll start to stretch out. Ladies are doing pretty good, still got the yellowing issue happening on the gsc and one of the straw kush. Still waiting on my ph pen, but got my ph adjuster kit and checked my house water. It's deff alkaline, high 7's maybe 8. I'll get a more exact number when my pen gets here.

The gsc still has yellowing on the fan leaves but the secondaries are looking pretty green. Super runt started to tri-foliate. Just keeping this one to see what happens. This is the mystery seed day 18-19. Topped her tonight. This straw kush is 12days oldthis is the third straw kush Day 26. This little straw kush is turning into a round little ball bush. She seems pretty happy now that she got some fresh soil on transplant and the light got raised.
I had a tea ready for watering done today,but the plants weren't as dried out as I wanted them to be. So I used the tea in the yard and started airating five more gallons of water to make another tea. Plants should be dried out enough in a couple days.

Irietime · Dec 19, 2016

One month birthday for the two on the left. Middle bottom two weeks. Middle top three weeks. The runt is two weeks and the far back right is one month. In the process of transplanting into 3 gallon smart pots. Gonna give them two more week, then flip. Gonna wait a few days and do the final top. Then see what happens during flower. Not expecting a whole lot this round since i stunted the plants with to much light. I feel like I've learned a lot this round and next one should be better. I ordered some chem dawg guava x creamcicle seeds should be here soon:)

Irietime · Dec 20, 2016

They all got there 3gal smartpots. Runt had to settle for a two gal nursery pot.

Irietime · Dec 23, 2016

This straw kush is turning into a sweet little bush. I just topped it one more time.

Irietime · Dec 30, 2016

Gsc. Starting to gain some momentum. Straw Kush. This one had a little rough of a transplant, a good amount of roots stuck to the bottom of the pot a ripped off. Bummer. But she's hanging in there. She's starting to go. this is the baby straw kush. Just moved and pinned down the fan leaves to get light to the secondaries. This one will be a month on Monday. Mystery seed is taking off baby straw kush before I pinned the fan leaves down this straw kush is bushing out after being topped a couple times. Mystery seed. Nice big leaf moving my light up to three feet above the canopy and transplanting into three gallon smart pots the plants took a turn for the better

One month old straw kush. It's been topped once and the top fan leaves have been pinned down to expose the secondaries. Their starting to push through. I pinned down the two top branches exposing the middle of the plant on both the older straw thesegonna flip these girls on Monday. The three oldest while be a month and a half the youngest being one month.

Good grow so far my friend I've used and use galaxy leds on small stout plants . They are good lights just have no penetrations. I like using them on small sog. Also add cal mag when using those leds.When I started indoor I had to save money at every corner. I bought window AC on Craigslist and bought a keg temp controller on amazing that had a probe for 40 dollars and it kept temps easily at 72-75. When it got under 72 it would turn off it saved me lots of money on the bill.

Nice, yeah this is a super low budget grow, bare essentials no bells and whistles. Started a little shaky I had the light to close to the plants and they yellowed up and stayed super short. As soon as I raised the light to three feet above the plants got happy and started filling in. Thanks for the tip on the cal/mag. Is there something with the light that makes the plants deficient in cal/mag?? I've been adding a small dose with every watering, they seem pretty happy now. I see what your saying about the no penetration of light, I think it would be best for me to scrog. If I don't get to it on this grow I will on the next. Either way I'm gonna pin down, tie down what ever I can to get those secondaries some light. Giving them some worm tea with fish and kelp tomorrow and flipping to 12/12.:)

A scrog would be ideal but since you are flipping soon tying them down is more than enough. Also there was a reason about the cal mag I just do t remember it was from a mars hydro thread in another forum I was having the same issue

Well sry brother, this was the first time i seen your thread. Damn if i would of seen it a lil sooner. I read where many growers put the light to close the first grow. I actually was just the opposite,,, i like to keep my light high as possible. I finally decided somewhere in the middle is best and now follow this regimen,,, I keep it high all the way till flower and then when it starts to stack, i lower it... I want the stretch esp when scrogging, but just as soon as it begins to stack, i want them to be more compact for obvious reasons...

Ya wish I would have known the light was to low the first three weeks. I think the plants would be a lot more filled out, but I'm learning. I've already learned a lot by trial and error for the next grow:eyepiece:glad you found me. Thx for input. Peace

I do want you to know that your first 10 days i thought was excellent growth! So you got that part down! So thats germ 101 checked off. Your next grow will be better and on and on, etc...
Why dont you come over to the dark side? if you dare to see 3x MORE veg growth.....

I should also note that i prob give more light than is needed at this stage which allows me to have the light higher. Which helps with temps, rh, and other factors such as transpiration..

What's the dark side, hydro?? And don't know if I've got the room for 3x veg growth, although if I did I'd love to turn this hobby into a full time gig. Dreaming on paper.
