Come watch grass grow.

Current grow...This is a beautiful ice bomb vegged 90 days! Its huge, takes up the entire 4x4 grow tent. Running 900 watts HPS. Looks all of 10 oz plus to me.

Lights off girls, lights on Merwina. 12 and 12, its cold outside, negative 10, one ocelating fan in a cracked window, two moving 1500 cfm. At these temps I'm able to run the 900w on the one in the 4x4, and 1900 in the 4x8. Never really need to turn the heat on in the apt, and don't plug in my 1500w heater core to start the truck. I live with my plants trying to keep temp 65-75 and humidity below 40%.

When its 30 degrees I run only 300w in the 4x4 and 700 led in the 4x8. When one tent is on the other is off. Starting overdrive on the kush soon. Happy with tricombs but need more mass.

Unfortunately I got mites on two of my 6 plants. Used neem oil but left it on too long before washing it off. One plant did 1.5 oz while the other did 2.7 oz. Had an unfavorable taste after a 4 day flush. Kush had no neem and ,8 days water flush.
 
Well this last round was rather disappointing, the icebomb in the 4x4' tent did only 5.5oz in 20 gallons of soil, it was decent smoke, but nothing compared to the kush, the other skunk did around 4 oz. I'm not going to defoliate any more, I didn't like the lower yields and stress to the plant. I'm still employing LST, scrogging, and lolippoping. Cleaned out the greenhouse on my roof, only lost one panel this winter.

Here is the next round for the greenhouse, med1,med2, kush, thcbomb, widow, and hashbomb. These girls are 2 weeks old, and rootbound. Transplanting into 5 gallon buckets, drain holes on the sides. Soil mix is ffof 50% worm castings 25% perlite 25% one cup of dolomite lime. At 40 degrees outside its 80 in the greenhouse.

Trying something new, a gravity feed water supply. Lines split through a 6 way air valve I got with a hydroponics pump. Cut lines even lengths and got even flow. Reservoir is a 30 gallon white plastic drum 3 feet above plants. AA battery operated timer with garden hose ends. Timer set to go off every 6 hours for 5 min.

I used the last bit of promix with the rest all fox farm in the greenhouse. I used 100% promix on a 6 plant skunk grow that never made it past 2 weeks in bud a few months back, and I like both soils equally. I find I have to add more suppliments to the pure promix and less to the pure ffof, but I like adding fish emolsion then water, b52 then water, calmag then water, to all my soil...

Here in the 4x8 tent I'm running the same strains as the plants in the greenhouse under 650 watts t5 @ 6500kelvin. Plants veg around 85 degrees with lights 4-6 inches above the canopy. These girls are 2.5 weeks old, in 7 gallon smart pots folded in half to keep the plants lower.

Here are some widows 4 days after seeds dropped shells and pierced the surface of the dirt. I've had great germination rates for the last 45-50 seeds sometimes helping the husks off gently with tweezers.

Nice looking plants brother. I too grow under led. It's getting better every day.

Thanks Wayland,

I had to leave town for 5 days on medevac as my girlfriends escort. She's on the mend!

I hired a friend to house sit, raised the lights an extra foot, closed the tent, and watered really heavy on my way out the door.

I had the plants on an 18-6 light timer, had my friend water once, and this is how they look 8 days after the last update:
