New Grower About to start my third grow - Think Different

[bushdktr]

Hi everyone!

I'm finishing my second grow, a Calipso by Automaris, still a few weeks to go, as you can see, and I'm germinating a Think Different there on the side:
https://www.autoflower.org/members/...bum-php-albumid=1762-attachmentid=276369.html

My LED is a Blackstar 135W, so what do you think of my setup?

https://www.autoflower.org/members/...bum-php-albumid=1762-attachmentid=276370.html

It's a small attic where the water tank is, so I've covered the walls with Mylar, and keep temperature @ 20 degrees Celsius with the help of a radiator, 'cause it gets cold up there. I see some discoloration in the leaves, although the plant seems healthy, and the same happened with my first grow, a White Widow. Could this be Calcium/Mag deficit?

One more question: what is the correct height for the lamp to be? 15 cm from the plant os OK?, and, should I place the Think Different right from the start at that height (or lower down the lamp, whatever) !

Thanks guys!

Hi guys!, after a busy weekend I finally have my new setup, with an extra 85W from a CFL lamp, as you can see in the pic:

I still got that Calipso, about to be harvested, and you can see my new baby there, Think Different!

So, I'm going full throttle!

Dwarf TD??

As you can see below, growth is very slow at day 25!



My setup is as follows:
Soil mix in a 10L airpot: Peat 40%-Humus 20%-Vermiculite 20%-Pelite 20%
Light Blackstar LED 135 W in a Diamond Mylar foiled space 2.5x2.5x6 ft.
I added some Blackstrap molasses as from week 2 thinking in preventing LED- derived Cal-Mag deficiency.
I had also a 80W CFL for some supplemental light, but, as it is getting warm now in springtime down here (25-30 C) I think It may have stressed my baby, so I overwatered for a few days and I added Fixsative to waterings. I stopped the CFL, and temp dropped to 20-24C. pH in residual water is 6.8.

Am I in trouble??

Hi everyone! Been away for a few weeks here, so I'll give you some follow up with my THINK DIERENT BONSAI !! lol
After a horrible start with my TD, (I think it's been a mixture of heat stress, light stress, and small flies that I think sucked out my baby TD's juice !), I couldn't believe she was still struggling for life after 5 (yes, FIVE!) weeks of arrested development, I decided to apply drastic measures, as follows:
1. Transplant my baby to a new pot, with a fresh soil mix.
2. Give her some mother nature, so I took her outdoors (now being spring here, the light regime is 12/12)
3. Leave her alone (LOL)

These are the pics, the first one is day 1 of transplant, and the last one is today (1 month after transplant):


As you can see, my warrior is still a dwarf but is now growing bushy, has some white hairs already, so I will wait and see.... she deserves some TLC, and she may finally give me some nice (although short) smoke !!

She may be small, but she seems t`be enjoying her new `free range` lifestyle! :High 5: :stylez rasta smoke:

Updating my outdoor bonsai TD here, 9 weeks from sprout, looking great, smelly... starting to LST to open her up.



I wonder how long it will take finally... I'm leaving for holidays on Dec 26!
