New Grower CoTC Cash Crop Vipar LED's in a small tent :)
- Thread starter Bilbo
- Start date
Off on holiday in the wilderness hiking for a week on the 14th so no option to leave it running. I knew I'd be pushed for time but after learning the hard way on my 2nd grow not to buy clones I had to try and get a quick grow in or run out of gear and f**k that for a laugh!
Tanks too small anyway (GT205) to leave it longer than 36hrs without it running dry, I'm adding 6 litres a day to the tank atm, she's a thirsty girl
I suppose a 50l feeder tank would work ok but that would just result in 25c+ nute soup within a day of leaving since I've got nothing to cool it with.
Getting bored with harvesting early now tbh, first grow was a week early because the photo clones were arriving and since I had to dry in the tent (the smell) I chopped.
F**king crappy clones were late arriving anyway grrrr.
One of the two clones was a dwarf - postmortem revealed broken roots deep inside the rockwool so I chopped early to get a fast auto done. The second wasn't too great either but I got a little bit off her.
I'll take what I can get this time and the calendar is clear for a six month grow if I need it for the next one

Mr Frosty's been to visit!
Delighted to see the PK9/18 has finally cut in and given her that lovely frosting and the main cola's are getting nice and heavy, I've counted 17 big branches and lost count of the smaller ones!
Now she's sucking all the PK9/18 up the ph is dropping instead of rising again, that would help me account for the earlier dropping when I first added it, I tested a bit of it and it's very alkaline. I think I'll increase the dose much more gradually next grow as it would appear the plants need longer to get used to it before they can use it!
I've already dropped the magnecal+ to half dose and the A&B the same.
Day 66

Hi, I'm a noob. These are some really nice pictures. I tried to PM you with a really lame question about them but it says your box is full so I'll wait.
Nice looking plants man. How's that new vipar COB working out for ya? Iv bought some of that pk9/18 too, I'm interested to see if there's a noticeable difference from pk13/14
It's making a big difference to flowering, up there with the 360 watts of cfl I had in the tent for flowering on my first grow. I've not got much else to compare it to yet tbh.
The 9/18 I didn't use on my first grow, I used Vitaink Buddy and everything about the 9/18 seems better, from frosting to resin the last two grows.
Really interested to see what you think of it too.
Ok Bilbo that answers my question! She's a beefy one...! Beautiful
