Photoperiod Sanlight S4W Grow Test

[Banki]

Hi Folks, I'm an absolutly newbie in therms of Forum stuff. But I have read a lot about your Projects in this forum which helped my solving some growing problems. Thumbs up for AFN.....

Last week I have started a test grow in my small growbox. The box measures 110cmx65cm an is illuminated by two sanlight S4W grow lights. Until last week a 400W HPS lamp did the Job, but for Temperatur reasons I decided to give Led Grow lights a Chance. So this will be my personal Led Grow test.....

Last but not least sorry for my bad english. I'm not a native speaker.....

Cheers Banki

Lets start with the report.
10 days ago I have potted 8 critical+ clones, which I have got from a friend. I have grown this strain few times before, so I can compare.... I realy like this strain because of high yield in combination with nice effect and compact groth.
Until today the Girls got 18h light per day. in the next days I will switch to flowering with 12h lights on. Here some current Pictures. In my opinion the babes are perfoming well.

Hi there,
on thursday I switched to 12/12 light cycle. Also I gave some nurtients (Canna Terra Vega) because the plants are looking quite lime. Here some pics from the last days.

VegDay 11

Day 1 12/12 cycle

Girls are more bushy than usually under hps. Otherwise nothing special.

Hi again,

underneath you will find some pics from the last days.
Day 4 12/12

Day 6 12/12

As you can see all is running fine. Ladys are very bushy. I'm watering/fertilizing every second day with Canna Terra Vega. My box is overloaded at the Moment. I will cut some branches the next days.

Cheers Banki

Hi AFN, nearly one week has been gone since the last update. Here the pictrures.

Day 8 12/12 nothing special

Day 10 12/12 I removed some lower branches, to bring all the energy to the upper branches and heads.

First flowers are visible since day 9 @12/12
As you can see the leaves are quite lime. I gave a Portion of terra vega. 25% more as recomended in the feeding table from Canna, at day 10 of flowering Phase.
I also see that the leave stems are red. I will watch this before I will try to solve.

And here the Pictures from today.
Day 13 @ 12/12

So far so good.

Cheers Banki

At day 14 i started to fertilize with Flora vega.

Day 16@12/12

Day 17@12/12

Day 19 flowering Phase

Up to now all is running fine. The red leave stems seems to disapear.

Hi AFN,
here some pics from last week.

Day 21 @12/12
a lot of small buds which will grow big, hopfully

day 23 @12/12

The stretching process seems to be finish at day 24 of flowering phase. The girls are around 30 in. (75cm) tall. Thats less stretch as i'm used with hps.

day 25@12/12

Up to now all is running fine. The temperatures in my box are around 3 degrees lower as with my old 400W hps. Some leaves at the lower branches starts yellowing. So i decided to feed about 20% more as recommended from Canna, the next days.
Structure of the plants looks different to my hps ladys before. Today I can't tell you which structure I like more.

nice weekend to all of you, banki

Hello everybody,

this week I was pretty lazy with doing some pics. I just have from day 30, 31 and day 32 of flowering.

Day 31 Buds, buds and more buds.....and buds.....

side view

But.......some troubles are arising. I noticed some rubiginous spots on some leaves. Not all leaves show these spots.... This week I gave some PK13/14. May too much. Does anybody know this deficiency syndrome.

For me it looks like a phosphor lack. If somewone knows more please help....

Hopefully this will not decrease yield and quality.

Cheers banki
