Hey everyone, long time grower, first time journal.
I am using 100w of cob led, and have a total of 10 plants so far. My grow container is an ex-water softener barrel that has been through one grow already, but this is the first time with just led's.
I have one 50w cob led in a cool spectrum, and one 50w cob led in a warm spectrum. Both of them just pound, and are combined in the same reflector with 2(sortof) heatsinks and one 12v pc fan on top running 12v 0.6A.
I currently have 10 unsexed plants started, all bagseed from random weed, mostly good. My government expects me to buy feminized seed from them to be legal, but whatever. I want to preserve some old genetics moving forward. What I know is that there is God Bud and Pink Kush in there somewhere, with some mexican seed, and some classic homegrown strains from around the area. The mexican was surprisingly good(hadn't seen it in over a decade), at least it had good bud formation and a decent buzz considering the shitty cure and lots of abiotic stresses in mexican grown weed.
I prefer to sex a few weeks in based on node formation(internode length) and growth of speed. I have 2 plants a few days older than the rest that I selected from 5 plants that I am pretty sure are female. I may of chopped some females in my selection process but have never kept a male.
I like my ghetto cob led setup. I have always grown with cfls and bulb led's, have never used HPS or MH. Now that I have LED's that pound, I want to seed (a little) the ones that do best under the LED's at the end with some collodial silver. Except for the two plants that are 7 days ahead, I'm calling it day one right now.
Im a poor man and some of my seedlings are going to tap into some reused dirt's fertilizer(50% fresh, %50 reused), but they will adjust with only minor complaints. I want to keep my rootzone for each plant at 2L, I have the option to water as need be, and keeping the rootzone smallish will help speed maturity during flowering. I use shultz liquid fertilizer(sparingly) which was enough for my entire grow previously.
I look forward to joining this community and welcome all to comment. Here are a few pics, will do updates once a week. The first picture really shows the intensity of this setup well.
