Figured I would start my own grow diary as I have finally mustered enough courage to and it will probably be good for me to document and get input from other people on my own thread, rather than hijacking others . This is my third grow, last run was decent and I hit >1gpw w/ forum cut cookies on a Sun Systems LEC 315. I had lockout issues and some PM, but I think the end product was great.

This will mostly be pictures until they catch up to where I am currently. I ended up with this setup after reading a bunch of threads like the KISS/V+B thread and "a few things I learned about growing in coco". So much info on this forum and very helpful people but I have mostly just been lurking until recently. I felt it was time to contribute and hopefully gain more knowledge.

Here's the setup:
White Widow Fem from ILGM
4x4
veg under SS LEC 315 (3100K) I will be switching to the 4200K and getting another tent for a perpetual grow eventually
flower under URSA Optilux 16
2 gal pots fed 6x a day in flower
50/50 coco/perlite Cloud Coir
black hole drippers
20gal rubbermaid tote
1000gph mag drive pump
Cutting edge 3 part (used this until I received my V+B)
Hydroponic Research Veg+bloom RO/Soft
+Life every now and then
+Shine @ week 3 flower with shine finish

A few pics from last run:

12/12 day 1 (2/25)





3/1 switched to URSA Optilux (pic from 3/3)





3/9 - light stress

[saitama]

Plants are yellowing from light stress and possible manganese def. I have flushed well, but they seem to be happy otherwise. Hope they bounce back.

These pics are from last night and the last few days (3/20). Mid week 3 of flower and mid week 4 since 12/12







def here:

Any input and feedback is appreciated! Hopefully things start to look up. FWIW the lower growth on the yellowing plants is still dark green, so this is why I think it's light stress.

Looks good so far, props

I like growing canopies that are less dense, the air exchange pay off in (fewer) bigger buds.

Looking good. If I can ever get my wiring finished I'm set to start a run in a 5x5 with my new URSA. Good luck.

Thanks! This is my first scrog so I didn't really know what I was in for. I'm definitely going to go for fewer, bigger buds next round.
