Hello Everybody,
After a few posts of this setup and different plants in various other IC threads, I have decided to share plants and tech,problems and solutions of my LED, blumat watered mini grow in organic soil in its own thread.
I grow a max of 4 plants, only for myself, but it's not really micro, so mini fits pretty well.
The tent is a secret jardin lodge 60, the flowering compartement is 60cmX60cm (2'X2') and 130cm (roughly 4') high.
I'm using off the shelf 13w Philips 2700K/ 1521 lumen bulbs with the bubble removed in varying numbers as a lightsource.
For soil, I use Lavender Cowboy's mix #2 with bone, blood and kelp for nutrients and only water from seed to harvest (with some teas added in flower)and blumats with a reservoir that holds 20l (5gal) for watering.
A primaklima fan blows through a rhino filter to keep odors in check.

I will just keep documenting what's happening in my little tent.
Alright then

Here's a pic of today:

There are 4 plants total in flower right now.In the background/left is an OGKush from Humboldt seeds, 36 days into flowering. Go a good dose of bat guano act today.

In the background/right is a revegged bubblegum from TH seeds, that was sent back to flowering 20 days ago.

And in the front row we have a jack herer lady and a sour blueberry.

Here are a couple close ups of the developing buds on the OGK

looks like things are moving along {& developing} nicely. Those white LEDs are great grow lights & that 2700k should be a good flower spectrum too. is it the same as your last?

Hi xmobotx,
Thanks for stopping by.
Yes they are the same as in that last bubblegum run.
I use those 2700ks for everything from seed to flower with no adverse effects so far. They have way more punch than one would imagine.
Although that OGK stayed really squat during veg, it stretched like crazy in flower, that's why I had to remove fan, filter and ducting form the flower compartment ( they are now on top of the tent) to allow for more headroom as one bud already got burnt from direct contact with one of the bulbs.
BTW organic soil is the best thing since sliced bread hehehe.

the first fixture i made was rebel 2700k on these weird heatsinks made for those stars.

surprisingly good for an average LED

Hi Everyone,
Sorry it took me a while to get this update together, but I was travelling for 2 weeks.
Here's the tent today:


Maybe a frontal shot is better for an overview:
Note how the flexible bulb holders can be used to get the two bulbs on the far right side lower and closer to the bubblegum plant which is not as high as the kush.


The OG Kush in the back is coming to the end of its flowerinf period
and the revegged bubblegum in the far right corner is about a month from finishing.
In the front you can see the jack herer and the sour blueberry and how I had to bend them over, because they had stretched fully into the lights and some leafs got burned.
They're 2 weeks into flower, stretching like mad and I just got back from travelling in time to react.
Here's a closer view of the OGKush, which is fading out nicely.

It will be another couple days before harvest I think.
Trichs are clear and milky, no ambers yet.
