Mixing White & Multi Spectrum Chip LEDs to Grow MedMan Silver Skunk BX1

[PetFlora]

factors -

earlier harvest?

she is water sensitive, but does best in hydro with 50% nutes

that mean anything to your current grow findings?

I haven't yet harvested her, just the larf

Oh, I get it now. You think maybe I waited too long to harvest the first time

Sorry for the 2 out of focus pics just before harvesting the first time

Coming down the home stretch

> 80% red hairs

~ 5-7 more days to harvest

Oddly, never got calyxes from BBCC, although plenty with Big Mex

That could be why I let the first grow go a bit too long

Dumped nutes (400ppm) replaced with pure water (20ppm) + ~ 4gms +Size to 2.5g water

 

[PetFlora]

How's she looking?

You seems to have some Nitrogen Toxicity or overwatering with all that clawing happening. How long until you chop?

I'm really not interested in your critics

Doesn't mean that what I posted was any less untrue. We can all see you get "special" treatment. The struggle for nitrogen tox or overwatering is real for your plants. <<<<<<<<<<<<pic removed, insulting content>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

if e read my pot about tips to grow her, she doesnt like nutirents or too much dampness in the root zone

helpul observation, imvho, is far from a critique, dont you think?

i have vegged her with 350ppm in hydro and had amzing results even with a 2 month old plant

generally you can cut her nutes in half vs label direction with nothing but positve results

using half nutes will increase yield and decrease expenditures

Got a link to your How to grow Silver Skunk? I don't recall being made aware of it

Always looking to save $$$. I probably spend ~ $10 on nutes to grow 2 plants to harvest, so not a concern, but better grows are

The ~ 2 weeks prior to flip until buds set, I feed 600ish. Once buds set, 800ish until mid-flower, then hit them with ~ 1000ppm for one week, then taper back down. If I can get same or better results cutting them in half, Im in

Roots are growing in polished ornamental stones fed for < one minute/hour. The stones hold virtually no moisture between feedings, so I don't expect they stay too wet in between. Mostly slurp from what comes by in one minute, then process

Still, be interesting to see what feeding every ~ 2 hours would change, and/or cutting nute strength in half

Does this go for BM (BBCCs alter ego) too?

 

[PetFlora]

During mid flower, she was sucking way more water causing ppms to rise ~ 30% in 24 hours, which would have added considerably more nitrogen

I looked below to 10/15 and they were flat then

Also I neglected to begin HRs +Size flowering amendment until ~ 10 days ago, which might have helpedhad I rememberedd to use it on time (3 weeks prior)

You may well be right (see my new post), it's your attitude that needs a serious adjustment.

Come down from your holier than thou sarcastic pulpit, and I will consider your advice/suggestions with a more open mind

Agreed.

 

[PetFlora]

Tightly trimmed and dried buds 121gms, which is only 3 more than the first harvest- so, consistent

She's not known to be a big producer, but a fine fine smoke that you can have a good time on for ~ 3 hours

[Greenlife1]

looking tasty!
nice work.

 

[PetFlora]

Thinking this will be last run with Silver Skunk at least for the winter

got some Critical Mass and White Widow seeds

Need to grow the CM now, to take advantage of the cooler weather and avoid mould

This time seeds were vegged mostly under Amare Technologies Solar Spec 260

Pic is plants under 2 Solar Spec 150s, just moved them there this morning.

Looks like 2/3 in the left tray/tote are BM females

Will grow them out to see how much better the yield is than when using the BML SPYDR (~ 240gms)

Will start a new thread in the LED light section

Note 2.5g rez feeds both tray/totes perfectly

[PetFlora]

Oops... Yeah

I found a couple branches I had placed in a paper bag

Totally dry

4.9 more grams + 121 gms= 125.9 total

 

[sourpuss]

Its my understanding that leds will consume way more water compared to nutes when compared to hids? If you run leds do you not need to lower the ppms even more than what med has already advised... curious as this is well advised by lush lighting when using their leds.

 

[med-man]

Yes. Good point man

Drop 25 % more with led

med-man

 

[The Doktor]

What causes this?

 

[PetFlora]

Not all LEDs are created equal

LEDs specifically designed for mj will be (should be) higher intensity= much higher umoles/sft

I never had CaMg deficiencies under the BML, but I do under the much higher intensity Amare Solar Specs

 

[med-man]

same goes for induction as well

its all about the nanometers
