Oh man what do I start I've spent five figures probably on HID lighting since 2008 up until around 2017 when spider farmer started coming out with their line of newer boards with Quantum boards in Samsung drivers I bought the first to board they put out did not dimmers or anyting the vegging on the plants was phenomenal but I think they're a little bit stronger than I was used to and I also think that the planets were acclimated to HID lighting because the first two or three girls that would you didn't the plants would like showing weird signs for me I can't speak for anyone else but I imagine as more and more people start growing under those with those LEDs the plants will acclimate I'm thinking I could be completely full of s***Well it seems the entire industry has swayed that way. Im still a fan of HID lighting. Problem is I have never personally talked to someone who now uses LED that once used 1000 watt HPS.
All these people have something to say about how great their LEDs are yet dont even have (what i would consider) a benchmark grow with a real light to weigh their reviews and thoughts.
Spiraling is pretty fun lol12 Days no roots yet, should have popped that heat mat on em... Gave in and put them under 12/12 today. Since no roots i'll keep them in a bag for a while. They got watered in with a rooting solution.
I'm 90% set on spiraling the main leader of the winning plants. It goes against their best structure stability but they will be supported so much I dont think it matters. Besides it will look cooler
oh thatll be sickYEah man I have spiraled like 4-6 oz plants but never attempted a spiral on a plant that will be taller than me. ha.
Now that's some LST. very coolSpiraling is pretty fun lol
Do you have a pic of the soil? I just got a thing about soil. Oh the porosity, the texture ,the different components.Mixed up what I hope is the last batch of soil. Gonna transplant in a few days. Got the smart pot milk crate liners they look to be about 8-10 gallons each. I'm certainly no stickler for "Organic" more a fan of what do I have/whats free so I used what I have.Still the word Polyhydroxycarboxylic is worrisome,
Listed in amount used the new soil consist of:
Perlite, Peatmoss, Coir, Pittmoss, Composted cow manure, Vermiculite, Jonathan green Mag-I-Cal Plus* ( 5 oz ph buffer), Azomite, Neam seed meal(6-1-2), NFTG** one stop granule(3-10-0), Great white premium & granular mycorrhizae ,(king crab mycorrhizae, orca mycorrhizae, FF Big bloom in coir soak)

I love the feeling of mixing by hand. did you add any lime to counteract the acidity of the peat moss?I'll snap one 2m I left it outside. I feel you mixing substrates is oddly satisfying. I do it by hand now but use to have a lil cement mixer until that shit got salt watered during a hurricane.
I would gladly add more verm but need it for mushroom bags. I really dislike the Pitt moss but it was free and obviously love the idea of a recycled medium.
