First Try With Autos & LED's

[Mike Oxbigg]

Got these girls out of the tent for a good watering. I'm happy with the way these buds are filling in. Still fighting the yellowing, but I think it's under control. These widow autos are 7 weeks from seed. 33days flowering.

Bubblegum is 8 weeks from seed today. A few pistils. Still veg though

Got these girls moved into their new home today.. I added a small "300w" blurple in above the bubblegum. I have a "600w" version of this same light.. I may swap them out. But not tonight. I'll let them enjoy the extra space and see how my temps and everything do overnight.

Damn ... looks awesome, your autos are doing great
Bubblegum will love the extra space and light
What is the tent size and where did you get it?

 

[Mike Oxbigg]

It's 48×24×60.. got it on eBay for like $60.. way better than the 24×24×48

Great deal, I was looking at a local shop at a4'X4' and they want like $700

Yes, there are some pricy ones out there. This size is about as big as I can fit in my space. But it gives me 2× the space and another foot of height than the other one. I will have to adjust the lights and maybe get a bigger fan. Will just watch my temps and see. I'm pretty happy with the bigger size though

Right now I have the one light about 14 inches above the autos. The little blurple I put in is 12" above the bubblegum.

It's that generic Chinese led.. I'm not sure what to call their "full spectrum" light. It only has blue and red..

I'm going to keep her on 20/4 until these 2 autos finish up, then I'll switch to 12/12 and let her have the whole tent to herself to flower. I was growing these bubblegum before with 600w hps, they got pretty big and really leaned towards the sativa side. I think she's going to be a beauty when she can actually start flowering and stretching out a bit.

I'll be watching from far bud.

Gotta love a good Kush

 

[Mike Oxbigg]

The pistils are all drying up on one of the autos and it's not really making any new ones.. not sure what's going on, but the other one is fine..

 

[KingJoe83]

Let it grow bud it's sexy as fack

Now watch the trichromes

 

[Mike Oxbigg]

Now watch the trichromes

They are all clear from what I can tell with this phone camera. I have a 30× loupe I use at work to inspect parts... I will bring it home next week and check it out a little better. These autos only 53 days old today. I wouldn't think they would be getting close to finish.. but it's my fist time ever growing them so I don't know..

Nice and sugary
The pistols on my photos turned orange but still has some clear ones, the trich's have now turned cloudy
So this weekend I'll chop
I've never grown ww's but yours look amazing

Well.. a damned tragedy.. dropped my pH meter on the tile floor in my bathroom last night and broke the display screen. Bad luck for sure. Anybody ever try one of these?

seems like a great bargain at that price, as my local hydro shop has some for about $50 I think. And as much as I like giving the local guy my business, I don't want to take an extra hit to the wallet if I don't have to.. just curious if anyone has any experience with these cheap ones?

Mike, how is this ph tester working for you? We've had so much rain up here this year some of my outdoor plants are getting a bit of discolouration in the leaves. I have never had to check ph before but I've tried everything to get things cleared up but not having much luck, so I thought the last thing to start to monitor is the ph... any thoughts?
