Hey everybody! I'm new to this forum, as previously i had been posting my results only to GrassCity... I understand there is growing support and interest in Hydro-Grow-LED's revolutionary lights, so I thought it would be prudent to furthering the LED revolution to post my results here as well...
In any event, I am a card-carrying 215 patient within the legal jurisdiction of Humboldt County, CA., and I am as eager as the next conscious grower up here to lighten the carbon footprint i make by growing my own medicine. So far Cammie's lights have done nicely for vegging my GDP clones, which finally reached the sizes of their well-cropped parent plants this week (i had put the mothers under a t5 for the time being to let the babies catch up, which they did in about 40 days)... so what you see in the pictures are actually TWO generations of plants, one (the four plants toward the front in the pictures) vegged under a t5, and the others (the four in the rear), under the HG-LED. I had some complications with the soil including what i suspect were two pH lockouts on the babies, which i fed regularly with 1oz/gal of FoxFarm's Big Bloom and 5ml Nature's Nectar Nitrogen with every watering. The others i did not feed hardly at all, in an attempt to slow their growth to allow their offspring to catch up).
In any event, if you want the whole story, see my Grasscity journal @ http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/459782-gdp-under-318w-led.html
But here we are now @ Day 5 of flowering everyone under the LED and I must say they are looking great! I recently fed them each with FoxFarm's Open Sesame only (two weeks ago i transplanted them into new pots containing a 1:2 mix (1/3, 2/3) of Botanicare ReadyGrow Aeration/McLellan Mountain Power Flower) after a friend's recomendation to make them really open... next watering I will add Botanicare's Pure Blend Pro Soil formula instead of the FoxFarm Big Bloom to try out Botanicare's fert line... I intend to add Liquid Karma to the mix as needed, but will use the full array of FoxFarm's salts: Open Sesame, Beastie Blooms and Cha-Ching.
I also trimmed the "babies" up really nice this week to get them ready to shoot all the nutes to the branches with the most light access.. i have also attached a pic of the cleaned up underbrush...
So peep the pics and holla back!
