Mordino's microgrow 125wCFL, 3xMandala #1

Hey folks:tiphat:
I would like to introduce my work what Ive done last year :)

Parameters:
genetics: Mandala #1 - 3x (from clones)
growing box: 50x50x123
light: 125wCFL blue/red
soil: plagron light-mix in 5,7L pots
fertilizers: biobizz (grow, algamic, bloom and top max) for better balance I used enzymes from Atazyme

Growing phase:
light - 18/6h with blue CFL , plants grew on it approx 2 weeks, then I switched 12/12 for blooming phase and after 1 and half week I switched light to red CFL (this should ensure that plants will not grow up so much quickly).

For better forming I used LST method ;)
On this stage I was potting water with 1ml Grow and 2ml Algamic

From this stage I dont have any photos sorry fort that:shucks:

Blooming phase:
Plants bloomed 70days (last two days only darkness)
I fertilized it almost each potting with 2ml Bloom, 2ml TopMax, 2ml grow after 6 weeks of blooming I put them 4ml bloom, 4ml TopMax, 2ml grow, 2ml algamic and enzymes . For last 2 weeks flush with water.

Lets go to photooos :)

23rd day of blooming



29th day...

1st plant


2nd plant


3rd plant


34th day
someday around these days I was struggling with mould infection so I used Kuprikol spraying ( its on copper basis and split into indifferent parts in 4-7 days) only shitty stains remains... :( also I cut off all leaves.



43rd day


Thats all for this time stay tuned for final photos ;)

yea but the cfls make crappy bud........HAR!....i love it when i hear that.

looks great mordino, especially for 125w. i take it yer 50x50 gives you.....roughly 8 sq.ft? i run cfL and usually give it 90-100w per sq.ft for bloom. a little overkill, but peeps usually dont believe they're grown cfL so i'll stay high wattage until i go LED..

have you tried Mand#1 before?.......slip o' freud....by that i mean beyond the brain? im def. curious about it....ran satori last year, def. one of my favorites...

what to write in the end? :D

Mandala is good genetics:canabis: She can handle all beginners faluts, easy for cloning and I have good experience with reverging :)

Smoke tastes very fruity - something between raspberries and dried apple to me :). Smoking it in joints is the tastiest strain what I ever had. :blowbubbles:

Its quiet potent so high shoot you somewhere to the moon :D but duration is above 1,5h then going down without signs of tiredness...

My yield was around 60g and on the photos you can see some dried and cured stuff ;)

thanks dude :)

Hey, you are right CFL isnt bad at all! You not need to care so much about temperature and plants can by so close :)

Only reason why Im using CFL in this wattage is saving costs ;)

I have good experinece with mandala #1 in indoor or outdoor. In outdoor isnt so tasty - like dried apple only but keeps her hig potential :jump:
Also big resistivity to mould infection and low temperatures :)
