Hi all,
First of all I want to thank this forum for the amazing amount of knowledge I have been able to build since last July . This allowed me to make a successful first grow. It was a good opportunity to experience things and learn so much
I ll try not talk to much so let s jump to the current grow!
Strains : FEMINIZED blue dream (HSO), green crack (HSO) and pyramid-seeds Tutankhamon
Grow medium : soil biocanna x biobizz light mix x Lechuza PON (good to put under the and over the soil for good drain)
Pots : 5L for the first 4 weeks then between 20L and 25L
Grow room : closet 120cm x 50 cm x 190cm
Lights : BESTVA 2000w + 1500w + 1000w + roleadro 300w + 2x Zjchao 1000w
I know it a lot but it didn't came in once. I bought it from last July to December. The effective power consumption of all those lights is around 1000w. I also bought a lux meter to keep canopy to around 80000 lux. From what I could see on different websites over than that is waste. In fact I read a weed plant couldn't survive under constant 100000 lux (direct sun on a bright day). I also saw many grow journals where I saw nice plants but under not enough lights and it was always leading to poor harvest. Anyway if you read different websites you find all the information about perfect lux for weed. All those leds at the same time make the temp going around 32 degrees Celsius even with the big fan on. That's why I bought a winflex extractor TT Silent M 150mm 550m3/h. I m using a 125mm duct cause the 150mm is too big for me. Anyway it s very efficient as it bring cold air from outside in (around 10 degrees Celsius outside) and lower the temp of the grow room to around 26 degrees with lights on
Temperature : between 20-28 degrees
Humidity inside grow room : 30% (since 3 weeks)
I had never planned to subscribe or the net as you have to hide etc... So my pictures are not very good and I don't have a lot but I tried to to my best to improve it the most I could with pics app on my phone.
Day 23
Sorry didn't have pictures before that. So as you can see there are some information on the picture. This was taken a few days after topping. I topped once all plants then let it recover. Green crack was 1 week older than the rest but seems to be growing slower although it was the only one in 10L pot vs 5 for the others at that step.
Day 34
Tutankhamon and Blue dream transplanted in 10L pot
Day 45
As you can see day 48 was day of LST. I also did some fimming to prevent some branch to grow faster that other one and to promote main colas. It worked so well on one of the tutankhamon you ll see the results in next picture.
I also tried to defoliate one of the two king tut so I could compare the two plants. It seems like king tut doesn't like it much as it just slowed growth more than anything else. I know not all varieties love being defolatied.
