Skunnymonster's Multi-Strain Perpetual LED Grow

[skunnymonster]

Here's some pictures of two heads, she's in a 10L airpot now. I'm very impressed with her growth in the last seven days so here's a photo comparison

I measured her & she'd be 6 1/2" tall if she wasn't trained.

KxS#1 is doing well but is still only tiny

Love the LST on two face

Love the LST on two face

Haha, it seemed the right thing to do & she seems to like it

 

[budstep]

She just loves to spread those legs.... I mean heads...

Thanks for joining my thread & I hope I can keep you entertained. The veg & seedling periods are a bit boring but I hope to climax with some monster frosty bud action.

I tested out my new ph meter today & I'm made up with it. It took 5 minutes to calibrate as the machine needs to acquaint itself with the new wand. Once calibrated it and only needs checking once a month & it's a quick turn of a screw to re-calibrate it. When testing it produces nice stable readings which are easily viewed on the large LCD display. I find having the wand is much better than a pen type as you hold or stand the unit where you can see it. This meter is accurate to 0.07 which is better than a lot of the big named brands & the quality of the unit is amazing for the price. The wand has a bottle attached to ensure it remains accurate & increase its lifespan and can be bought separately.
Conclusion: 10/10 Top class product with German engineering at a bargain basement price

As you can see, it's a big old beastie & powered by a 9v battery

And how much did it cost you? I think sometime next month I need to get one for myself too.
Though if I don't run in to any pH issues with a liquid pH tester I don't see any reason to get electric one. Could use a decent ppm meter sooner or later, any suggestion on that?

 

[skunnymonster]

This cost me £47.98 including delivery which is a bargain for the quality. It feels like a machine worth 3 times that price tbh. They make EC pen meters around the £40 mark if I remember correctly, do a google search & you'll find them.
I'd buy a ph tester before going for an EC meter personally, liquid testers aren't as accurate & your ph is vitally important. I use my EC meter every now & again & it's always in range so never needs adjusting.

So if never need to adjust, good job my friend

Here's a weekly update for you. Everything is going perfectly with no issues to report. I've just upped the strength of nutes for two heads to 3ml/L PM grow, 3ml/L CalMag+ & I've stopped the Voodoo Juice on her now.
The three seedlings are doing well

Ripper Toxic

The next two are Tangerine dream

They are all at different heights but all look healthy

Into my other hut & these two are coming along well

Little miss two heads is now losing her name, from now on I'll just call it the flux. Since last week, it has come to light that the method in which I've grown her, is called fluxing.
I'm spreading the side shoots a few times a day by hand but she keeps filling in to look like this

Once I've spread her, she looks like this

Here's the side profile

The leaves look more indica than sativa

Here's KxS#1 looking a little stretched so I've lowered the light to 2ft

Out of curiosity I had a peek at the roots, they are coming along well especially down at the bottom

So that's it for this weeks update. I'll leave you with the last 13 days growth photo's of the flux. When looking at the pics I'm blown away at the growth.

Mrs Flux, ex 2 heads is looking FINE!!!

I love her

I don't want to over do it so I'm being cautious. It was at 2' 6" until Wednesday then I lowered it 6" to 2' I might try 18" from the beginning of next week if they stay looking healthy.

Very beautiful update, your indica looks very well. And good fluxing practice SkunnyM.

 

[RobertSensi]

Ah i love what your doing to them! Wonderful looking plants!

Keep the style going!!

Thanks man, I think a bit more training & maybe a little defoliating will be my next step.

She's either Sour Diesel or Royal Cheese (I got confused when I found 2 empty seed bags & didn't know which one the seed came from) Both of these strains are mainly sativa but she's looking more like an indica so I'm going to see if that's an indication as to which strain she is.

Thanks Robert, the growth & health of the plants is making me very happy. The flux though, this has captured my heart & my mind, I'm so excited to see what she will do. I'm like a kid with a puppy

 

[skunnymonster]

I've just searched for images of Royal Queen & Sour Diesel & they both look predominantly sativa so I'm non the wiser
