Lighting 1st DWC grow, BAM by Pal
- Thread starter Pal23
- Start date
Thanks for getting back to me Tang man, I will contact GN when this grow is over about the fan, also I wasn't aware they changed the modules on the light I just got, i've got them side by side right now to avoid some bleaching and you can clearly see the difference in the spectrum - it's only slight but the when it hits the plant you can see the two different colours.
I believe the spectrum has evolved bro.
All the more reason to cross those beams so the plant has access to allllll of the spectrum

:smokebuds:Day 46
Good afternoon AFN, hope you're all well. Topped up with 2L of water, this is pretty much a daily occurrence now that the roots are more established. EC is 1.0 or 1.2 is cant decide but relatively low - just playing it safe so I don't over do it, PH 5.8-6.0. Still waiting on the formation of the flowers but she's still growing so have to be patient, theres plenty of pistils knocking about, enjoy the pics - thought I'd get her out the tent while I still can
This pic shows the subtle difference in spectrum of my two lights, the left side of the plant is more pink/red whereas the right side more blue/purple. (The new unit is on the right)
Never thought insulating would make much of a difference but thought it couldn't hurt, did a very basic DIY job with packaging form the 0006, temps are actually more stable, takes longer for the res temps to shift - I know for the next grow I will fully insulate:
If anyone wants to step in here and advise me on lollipopping or chopping the lower branches then please feel free, got lots of downstairs action going on as you can see:
Okay no more rambling on I promise:
The flash on my phones makes some of the roots look more brown than they actually are, the've come a long way since the beginning considering all the bullshit I put her through
See y'all tomorrow

She looks sexier than yesterday Pal !,go ahead with a light trim dude :stylez rasta smoke:Ive done it to all my plants & none minded ...usually just go for droopy looking lighter green leaves that are obviously missing out on light & some popcorn bud sites,
I would stay @EC- 1.2 no lower ,monitor for a drop & then you know you can go higher again next res :High 5:That tip burn only hitting those big fans is strange ?...the tip burn I have is at the very tips of all the leaves ?.
Cant stress enough the res temps Pal ... something reflective on the lid also helps deflect the GN power lol:smokebuds:

Day 47
Afternoon AFN, just got a few tent shots for you today. I had to top up the res with almost 4L of water today, that's the most she's drank so far in a 24 hour period. Added 15ml Flores A+B to keep the EC at 1.2, PH 5.9.
Sorry for the sideways pics, dunno what happened there:

:Day 48
Morning all, just been in and topped up the girl with another 3L of water. Drinking decent amounts now and scheduled for a res change tomorrow which I will set at 1.3 EC and go from there. I also gave her a light trim, a tad yesterday then finished it today - just some of the undergrowth so I can actually access the bucket for adjustments, there's a pic of the main stem to show whats been chopped away. Just tent shots today I'm afraid, gonna have to get her out tomorrow anyway.

Day 49
Okay so here we are at the start of week 7. Gave he a res change today consisting of:
17ml CalMag
15ml Rhizotonic
30ml Cannazym
15ml Canna Boost
30ml Flores A+B
EC 1.2
PH 5.9
I've kept the EC lower to try and find her sweet spot again, kinda lost track late last week. Either way I look at it I'm most likely gonna have some leaf bleaching issues from the LEDs if I want to angle them but it's something I'm willing to work with to get that extra intensity for the bud development. Pre flowers are just starting to form now so it's time for the fun part! Any ideas what would be the best week for a PK week in relation to this grow? I'm asking cos I'd like to increase the Boost up to full strength by PK week so it all coincides nicely. Anyways enjoy the pics
Turning into a nice little bush now, I'm fairly new to the game but it's the biggest plant I've grown so far so it feels like an accomplishment already
