Lighting 100W LED grow

Day 33

Ok, so after another spurt of growth last night it was looking cramped in there this morning. I took out the seedling and she will be sacrificed to the Ganja Gods in the hope of a good yield on her older sister. I carefully installed a net and done some minimal LST with the aid of some twist tie gardening wire tied loosely. We are at 54cm tall now. Amazing how quickly plans change lol. I think we are getting near to the end of the stretch. nodes are getting tighter at what will become the cola.

I've just done exactly the same with my net Fingers crossed they stop stretching before we both run out of tent!

Yeah, lol but my original plan didn't involve sacrificing a seedling to be able to do it!

Measured only a 2cm stretch last night compared with usual 3cm, but some of that energy obviously went into throwing out more pistils "Bailers Booya" I guess full flowering has started and so I replaced stretch time feed (1ml/L Soil A, 1ml/L Soil B, 0.5ml/L Ultra MG, 0.5ml/L Roots) with introductory flowering nutes (1.5ml/L Soil A, 1.5ml/L Soil B, 0.5ml/L Ultra MG, 0.25ml/L Ultra PK). After she drinks this 2 Litres (2 days, today and tomorrow) I will bump her up to full flowering feed: (1.5ml/L Soil A, 1.5ml/L Soil B, 0.5ml/L Ultra MG, 0.5ml/L Ultra PK). I see no point in really flushing the medium in my case because the soil a+b and ultra mg are used anyway.

Also in my local supermarket I found I little CFL floodlight on the cheap with the bulb included. 23W with a 6400K spectrum for under £10, so I thought, "That will be nice for seedlings and supplement" and snapped it up. I had to rewire it to remove the motion sensor and run it permanently but it was a nice clean, easy job I also removed the front glass face for more penetration, my ladies like it deep!

The new supplemental light hung on the right.





and this pic with floodlight behind, just cos I like it! :smoke:

Yeah.. actually I smoked some about a year ago that was grown by an organic grower who generally grows some great bud. I got some of that and some Ice Cool photo off him too. They were both very lovely That's why I chose the +speed

Any update man?

Sorry for the lack of updates I have had a busy week. Today is day 42. My +speed auto is a bit slow lol

The update for the last week or so is as follows. Firstly I ran out of room so started super-cropping her to keep her down, I expect this to add some days to her finishing time. Without the supercropping she would be about 85cm tall. Now she is about 70.

Here is the supercropping on the main cola:




I also replaced the 23W, 6400k, 1300 lumen bulb in the floodlight with a 21W, 2500k ,1400 lumen bulb and I added another fixture for the blue. Meaning my grow is now 100W LED with 44W supplemental red and blue CFL.

Here is the full pics. It really is a jungle in there! Her stem at the bottom is 2.5cm in diameter
