I wasn't going to journal this LR2 grow, but I'm going to try to grow a mom and cut some genetically identical clones for the upcoming LED/HID comparison, so I thought these LR2's would be fun to watch finish under the 300w LED while waiting for my PPP mom and clones to be ready.
I germinated the seeds in Rapid Rooters that I placed directly into some 6" self-watering pots. These pots have a small res at the bottom, which the plants are now emptying twice daily. The medium is 100% perlite.
They were in my cab under my 110w T5 until two days ago, when I put them in the tent under the LED.
I thought they were growing fast under the T5, but the transition to the LED went very smoothly and they've really taken off. The light is currently at 28" off the plants and that's about all they can handle for now. They aren't stretching a bit and doing great under the LED.
I'm going to transplant the three LR2's into proper hempy buckets tomorrow as they definitely need more space.
The other two plants were staggered one and two weeks after I germinated the LR2's. They're a NL/william's wonder/violator kush cross I made with one of the VK culls from my last grow. The LR2's are fem seed, but the cross is regular seed, so hoping for the best.
Here's a few pics I took earlier tonight:
For nutes, I've been using a combination of Osmocote Plus and FF Grow Big Hydro. The OC+ was top-dressed at the rate of 1tsp per 6" pot, and the Grow Big fed at 1/2 strength. Not sure what I'm going to add for bloom, maybe some GH Maxi bloom.
I'm hoping these LR2's entertain us a little while we're waiting for the PPP clones to be ready for the LED/HID comparison

SS, I'm so happy to see you doing hempy.... or semi hempy... or whatever. Ok, I'm just happy to watch you grow!
