Kanno26 ViparSpectra XS1500 Pro, KS5000 - Let's Make Some Cool Plants

[Kanno26]

I have never smoked a hybrid that smokes like a real Sativa-squared (a Sativa Sativa, if you catch my meaning) But I have come across a lot of seed houses claiming they have cracked the puzzle of a short-flowering plant that gives you a real Sativa buzz. So, together we will discover if Paradox is just another hollow mystery box, or if there is something truly special inside! Kanno and his SIPs will get us there, one way or the other.

Kanno, did ViparSpectra provide you with any specifics about hanging two of those lights together? I'm curious whether they offered specifics due to the light's design, when used alone, is specifically created to avoid a central hotspot. I would hope they had considered a side-by-side installation and provided you with some insights.

I think your germination success bodes well for the final product. I'm curious, how long did you leave them, after removing them from soaking, in the wet paper-towel? Such long tap roots... in my experience, strong germination reveals something about the plant's, erm, 'virility' going forward.

I think that every Master Grower's dark secret is great genetics, and their most judicious act is not wasting their time with middle-class seed stock. At least, that's how it appears from my position, far, far from being a "Master Grower". I don't mean to take anything away from the skill and patience they also possess, I just know that the first step, while often forgotten, is always the most important.

Maybe have a look at "Carhooks" if you want to try a new training style, however, your scrog net seems to have served you up to this point, and it sure photographs well! Of course, we are talking about quite a few plants here... How exciting!

We should start a pool for guessing what day the soil finally gives up its ghost and the first yellowing appears! Don't take that the wrong way, I mean that if these are going in SIPs I wouldn't be shocked if the nutes drain out even more quickly than usual as the plants really seem to use it up fast in my recent experience with organic SIPs. I mixed a light seedling soil, perlite, and my special worm castings 1-1-1 and after 5-6 weeks of vegging they needed a recharge, badly, so I amended with more castings from the top. However, the plant was in a small SIP. Anyway, forward!

Thanks @ReservoirDog, awesome list. My Paradox seeds were in water for 24 hours and after two days on a napkin, the sprouts were as big as you can see in the photo, which seems pretty quick to me, and today all four are out. And the way you talked about those sativas is really interesting, we'll see how Paradox will be.

Hello @ViparSpectra fans, here I have one more addition to the Paradox tent and it will be Hulkberry from Royal Queen Seeds who will be alone under XS1500 PRO and went into the ground today. Straight from the fridge it went onto a paper towel, it stayed there for two days and today it was ready to go to the mark

 

[NickHardy]

Oh cool man!

Its basically just Bruce Banner #4 which I love - first plants we ever grew last October. But have 3 actual Hulkberry on the grow at the moment.

Below is 37 days after repot an hour ago to 1G from Solo. Picture is of roots of RQS Royal Queen which is smaller than the HB but same plant batch.

Loves its CalMag. Can go a shade yellow. Thirsty. Third only to the Royal Gorilla and CBD Warlock for growth out of the 13 strains we have on the go atm.

Its a great smoke.

ViparSpectra recommend to hanging two XS1500 Pro with 24cm distance, which you could flexible adjust the distance and hanging height according to your tents/plants need.

Great start! Congratulations on your new babies sprouts!

I did exactly this in the 2x4 per their instructions and it was perfect. The coverage couldn’t have been more even. And by running them separately I was able to either have them like this and a nice even field, or think of them as individual lights and adjust per each plant however was necessary. Awesome flexibility.

Highya Kanno,

Thought I'd like to follow along with this grow. Great start getting 4 to successfully germenate! I'm still learning about "good" genetics, also! Great job. Happy Smokin'

Hi @NickHardy, I've grown it here before too and it was an amazing plant and very monstrous. I told myself that now that I have a little more experience, I could try to grow it again and try to grow it under the XS1500 and spread it over the entire tent in SIP. Otherwise your plant looks amazing and a beautiful root ball.

 

[NickHardy]

I’m building a seriously big SIP - using a plastic garbage can for an outdoor grow. Seriously considering putting that Hulkberry in it.

It’ll go monster.

[NickHardy]

Really, monster!

[Kanno26]

Really, monster!

So it's going to be brutal

Hi everyone, my PARADOX girls started their first week of vegetables on Monday and today they got their first watering with EC 1.00 PH 6.2. The temperature in the tent is 24 degrees Celsius and the humidity is 61%, and my new addition Hulkberry is slowly catching up. And this is how it looks there.

Thanks everyone for stopping by.

Wow, I guess I didn’t realize how completely the two XS 1500 Pros cover the space all the way like that. Awesome. No cold spots.

You're right @Jon, the @ViparSpectra lights have great coverage on my 2.5x2.5 tent. And now imagine if I leave a Hulkberry plant there that will have +-8 weeks of vegetables and I still want to come up with some nice SIP, but I still have to think about what to make it with. She must be a monster

 

[StoneOtter]

Beauties Kanno!

 

[Kanno26]

Hi all fellow growers, my Paradox girls successfully complete their first week in veg today and so far they are doing well and Hulkberry is slowly catching up. Otherwise, @ViparSpectra XS1500 PRO runs at 25% and the distance from the plants is around 40cm and the coverage of the tent is great, no cold spots and this is how it looks there.

Thanks everyone for stopping by.

 

[Bode]

They like that light! Nice looking seedlings!

哇，我想我没有意识到两台 XS 1500 Pro 能如此完全地覆盖整个空间。惊人的。无冷点。

Hope that XS1500 Pro will did a good job, take good care of PARADOX girls

 

[Kanno26]

Hi all growers, this is what my girls look like halfway through the second week. Yesterday they received EC 1.4 grouting, I was a bit worried if they would be able to do it and everything is fine. @ViparSpectra XS1500 PRO is doing a great job and growing beautifully. That's how it looks there.

Thanks everyone for stopping by friends.
