Lighting Grow Diary. Three Afghan Kush Ryder and one Critical Cheese.

Day 39. Added a little more light into the mix.

I found two little 20W CFL's in the cupboard under the stairs so i bought some sockets and mounted them on either side to get a little side-lighting :

U reckon its as good as a 250w hps ? There's a big debate about them atm...I'm thinking of buying one myself :-)

Never used an HPS but i've read plenty of grow diaries and seen plenty of pictures of them.

I guess the only thing that will tell is time, the LED's seem to have good penetration, hard to see in photos but it's better than my old 250 CFL was.


Cheers for stopping by big :)

Looking good Steelrat been checking out the AKR and so nice to see they are holding up well. A strain that has my interest. Keep it up.
How is the smell/odour levels on a 1-10 scale relative to other strains ?
 
Smell started around day 14. Strong smell but Ona block in the exhaust does the job.

They're not reall doing that well :( It's my first LED grow (coming from 250W CFL) and the lack of heat lead to longer dryout --> less watering/feeding -->less nutrient uptake ...

so i thought i had lack of N but i think now it was classic LED calmag from the beginning, which is ironic since i only just posted yesterday that i thoug my plants werent sufferuing from that !

thanks for loooking :)

Lovely therapeutic high. I can gett pretty intense and stressed out but this strain gives a strong muscular relaxation, strong anti-anxiety so good combo. Reminds me of when i first had a smoke, floaty and giggly and shit.

Day 43. CalMag deficiency.

So i think i have calmag deficiency.

I have some epsom salts and am wondering whether to foliar-feed them some now or put it in their next watering, i'll probably go for the watering.

I've forgotten which plant is which but they're all fairly similar now.

Girls are now 43cm (17 inches) tall so that's an increase of 8cm (3 inches) since last week.

Vertical growth is slowing down so next week may be their first bloom feed, i would normally have them on bloom by now but it's been a slow grow due to temps and me not being used to LED. They are growing half an inch per day the last few days.
