LED Soil Grow: Bubba Bx1 Kryptonite

[HardMind]

Hi everyone,

Excited to start my first grow in a very long time!

It has to be stealth so my grow is limited to a small LED grow box:
Lighting: 32 * 3W Osram Square/SSL LEDs
Dimensions: 382*400*765 mm (15 x 15.75 x 30,1”)
Fans: Two Noctua PPC Industrial fans with carbon filters

For seedlings and veg I'm using Canna terra Professional soil. For flower I will be using Plagron's bat mix soil. I haven't given any feeding yet but will use the bio Canna terra line.

The seeds are part of a collection almost 15 years old! I was surprised when I planted 4 seeds and all sprouted no questions asked.
The seeds I chose for this run are Pre 98 Bubba Kush Bx1 made by Kryptonite seeds.
Here are the plants day 12 from sprout. All seems to be going well except for some wrinkles and droopiness in the first set of leaves(see pics). Something to worry about?

The 5th unsprouted pot is a Mephisto genetics '3bearsOG' that will be going outside for the summer.

I'll be posting as things progress, hoping for good things!
Peace everyone

Probably not, unless you see it happening in more leaves. I'd be more worried about trying to grow four of them in such a small space; I'd think you could stick four ready-to-flower (IOW, mature) rooted clones in there, immediately start a flowering light schedule, and still fill your box by harvest time. But maybe it'll work out for you; I hope so.

Good luck with your grow!

By the way, what's the total (actual) wattage of your lighting?

Thanks for stopping by!
I will only be flowering out one plant in this box. Tbh I didn't expect all four seeds to pop since they are so old! But I will be choosing one female to flower and any extra's will go to a veg tent for future cuttings.
It will be slow hunting if I can only flower one at a time but it's all I can do for now. Hopefully I can expand a bit in the future and keep this box for veg/cuttings.
As for the total actual wattage, I don't know. I only got 32 * 3W leds as info. I've never used leds before.

Two weeks in.

Day 17. Definitely some variation. Running out of space already. The two largest have been topped. Once they show strong new growth i’ll flip the switch.

Day 22.
So the plan is to let the new branches grow a couple of nodes, then start flower. Probably like a week or two?
Regrettably I removed the new growth at the nodes below where I topped. I think i could have used the branching...

Hope it’s a female!

Day 30.
The plant is so bushy with big leaves and very thick stems.
I split one of the branches trying to tie her down, resulting in one of the 4 main tops being smaller.
Im thinking of letting her veg a couple more days before starting flower. Apparently bubba does not stretch much in flower.
Any suggestions are welcome.
( oh and she is already starting to smell pretty damn good)

 

[HardMind]

Should I defoliate? Lower fan leaves? Lots of stacked leaves at the center of the plant, should i remove some fan leaves or leave the bud sites alone?
Ive split two branches now trying to tie them down. Not easy! You can tell the size difference.
Thanks for any help!

Day 2 of flower.
