Hindu Kush - 90 Watt LED Grow

[cnnbs]

hello

equipment:
- seed: hindu kush feminized (100% Indica) sensiseeds, 45-50 days flower
- 90 watt led (metered 60 watts, 45x2W leds, red-blue-orange = 35-5-5, red = 630nm | blue = 460nm | orange = 610 nm) ... the light will be 10 - 20 cm far away from the plant until end... i removed the glass from the LED light, because its a bit more brighter without it and installed a noctua 600 rpm fan, also opened the sides of the LED light for a better cooling
- homebox 160x80x80
- 1 prefertilizated jiffy
- soil: biobizz light mix
- fertilizers: biobizz bio-grow (npk 4-3-6), biobizz bio-bloom (npk 2-7-4)
- gronest 11L textil pot and saucer (cutted out some holes at the bottom textil pot for a better water intake from the saucer, because only saucerwatering)
- electronic post packet scale
- airflow through/out of the box with pc fans
- ppm meter
- hygrometer
- thermometer

day 1
... filled a small cup with tap water (ppm 226)
... dropped the seed into the cup
... the seed swims on the water
... placed the cup into the dark
... after 4 hours i pressed the seed under water
... the seed sunk to the ground of the cup

day 3
... after 48 hours the seed has build a small root
... cutted out some holes at the bottom textil pot for a better water intake from the saucer, because only saucerwatering
... filled the 11l textil pot with biobizz light mix soil while knocking the pot on the ground to make the soil denser
... currently the homebox 160x80x80 is still in use, so i must use a other box
... currently the electronic post packet scale is still in use, so i must weight the pot with an electronical kitchen scale
... saucerweight: 208g
... potweight only: 4922g
... soaked up a prefertilized jiffy with tapwater (ppm 206) and inserted the jiffy without the net into the mid of the pot
... inserted the seed with root pointing down into a small 1cm deep jiffy hole
... jiffy hole slightly closed
... no watering, because the soil is still moist
... activated the pc fan for airflow through/out of the box 24/7

Everything is looking good my friend but let me ask you why are you only watering from the saucer? That would take an awfully long time for the moisture to reach the root of that tiny little plant if you were doing it that way.

90 watt led (metered 60 watts, 45x2W leds, red-blue-orange = 35-5-5, red = 630nm | blue = 460nm | orange = 610 nm) ... the light will be 10 - 20 cm far away from the plant until end... i removed the glass from the LED light, because its a bit more brighter without it and installed a noctua 600 rpm fan, also opened the sides of the LED light for a better cooling
- homebox 160x80x80

The 60W light is just about enough for 2 sq ft or 0.19 m^2 during flowering. The general rule of thumb is 30-35 W of LED per square ft, or 325 - 375W / m^2. This is for the higher end lights. The low cost LEDs will often require more to get the same results. You'll need at least 210 - 240W to make full use of your homebox.

You'll be able to grow the one plant as long as you keep it small. I suggest finishing this grow before buying additional lighting. You'll be able to judge the light's effect on your plants that way, and decide if you want to stay with more of the same lights, or get something better.

Good luck with your grow.

its easy to fill the water just into the saucer. i did this in my last grow and it worked well. skunk #1 90 watt led grow i try to keep the potweight between 4.5kg and 5.5kg, so the soil will be not to moist and not to dry.

thanks. the problem are the cannabislaws in my country... more watt mean more grams and more grams mean more penalty so i keep it safe and grow only with 90(60) watts. 90(60) watts is also energyefficent and low heat. i will send her early into 12/12 this time and maybe cut her down later if she stretch to much.

Looking good cnnbs! I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out

 

[EastCoastGhost]

I will subb for this one. I had a look at your first journal with the Skunk and it was pretty impressive considering you’re only pulling 60 Watts. what was your final yield on that one?

if i didnt wrote the weight into the journal then idk

Hope all is well in your world.

Is this grow still alive?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

If you need any help with posting photos, please read our Photo Gallery Tutorial.

I am moving this to Abandoned Journals until we get updates.

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.
