Pan's Experimental Garden

[pan4gold49]

Hi Yall!

The Experimental garden.
The idea for this is to design and perfect Led lighting. The garden is located at a friends house I would be stupid to be trying to sell led panels from the same location I grow in. So with that said (the wife will be pleased) lets go.

I have not grown anything since the 80s when the law got to close and I had to run.

Bagseed plants 8 total from Mexican.
G13 labs Power Skunk 4 plants
Greenhouse seeds : all female
1 Cheese
1 White Rhino named the Queen
1 Trainwreck
1 Great White Shark
1 Lemon Skunk
1 Alaskan Ice named Quinn

The grow will be using as much led panels as we can. Since the right lumens are the key lets play. Because we what smoke we might bend a little in the lighting. But the reason for this is to get a LED solution for lighting.

For nutes we will using Fox Farm products.
We are growing in dirt hard to find now since all the garden stores have x-mas stuff. Funny you can find lots of MG potting soil. We will go to Hydro as soon as time and money permits already lost 60% of my income from the stock market crash.
I have one Question its about vegging. 24/0 or 18/6 ? Do I need a dark period so that the plants can rest ?
I will post pictures later today I have work on panel production.

Nope
I run 24/0

Hi Yall!

Well the garden is good. Vegging under leds is different the blue only panels have the best growth rate. The plants it produces are shorter and very bushy.
I have 2 losses Great White shark and Trainwreck I think they were over watered. I also have 5 Power Skunk one I thought didn't wake it but just popped out. I wish I could post photos but have misgivings and paranoia. The wife won't go for it.

Hi Yall!

Testing Testing 1 2 3 ? I want to get some weed for free.

The test before

All were grown in this fashion before.

The new veg cabinet.

Main led panels:

Bud Porn (from an unknown)
Bagseed:

Dog got this one as a trophy but is recovering fine.

This one was cropped at the 4th node.

Dog got this one too.

Power Skunk

I forgot to take a picture of Power Skunk #4
These Power skunk were free they all germinated lost one by accident.

The snizzle from greenhouse
Alaskan Ice: 2nd week

White Rhino: 2nd week

Cheese: end of 1st week

Lemon Skunk: end of 1st week

Lost was the Trainwreak germinated was planted and poof nothing. The Great White Shark seed was too damaged from shipping to germinate.

The new setup:

I had to add these Floro's 65w 4500 lumens each for Flowering thanks to Irie I really need more lumens.

The rest of the room:

I still have to build 540 lumen 12watt red panel to the mix. I am also going to flower all the first run of bagseed so I can have a treat on my B-day.

The next Panel will be a 300w 14,000 lumen led panel but I need the light spectrum for cannabis so I can select the exact leds required.
Thanx

Nice job PAn, I have been waiting to see what you would come back with.. I like your variety in seeds too.. Take care of that White Rhino, they are picky and they are so yummy.. One of my favorites.. You are doing a great job, I hope you can dial it in and at the least get some good info.

I think I could have flowered the BG but I would have sacrificed a lot of quantity. It's been 10 days now since the BG was moved under the HIDS and it has almost grown a foot... That was 3x what it grew in two weeks under the LED. I think the floros will make a good addition and help out quite a bit in flowering.. Nice Job Pan, I look forward to watching your progress...

 

[pan4gold49]

Thanks Irie for your support.

Since I still want good smoke had to add the cfls. I also have some UVB for resin and tric production. I will be re-doing the cfl reflectors to a DIY clam shell reflectors to use some of that wasted light. I will post new picts later these were taken Monday.

great work man, awesome choice of strains. You are going to have 1 hell of a jungle on your hands in no time.

 

[dava04]

Loving the pics

 

[McBudz]

One thing bud.. Soil looks a little soaked for some of those little guys. Try not to drench it at this stage. Roots aren't big enough yet to use it all up before root rot could set in. Just an fyi...

[music4higher]

Lookin good pan!! The 1st pic of badseed from your latest update looks crazy! Blue and orange on the leaves!! That's gotta be from the LED's right and not some crazy rainbow bright strain?

I have the same pH meter as you do.. do you trust it?

Hi Yall,

New for next year is a DIY ebb & flow table made from an outdoor pond kit cost me 30 bucks. Since I need more light and have only 1000w of power a 400w MH with and Eye hortilux bulb. Lastly more leds looking for a way to flower with leds. Well thats my x-mas list.

You all have a Merry Christmas or what ever you celebrate.
Have a Happy Hempy Christmas Yall!!!!

Hi Yall!
Hope your holiday were fine.

The first flower ! From the bagseed

3 girls out 6

The Power Skunk

Man this thing is growing fast I have to raise the light every other day. I hope its a girl and about 2 feet high. I am glad I have 8 foot tall room.

This ones big too!

Alaskan Ice

Lemon Skunk

Cheese

White Rhino: I have some yellow spots on the leaves and I think is from improper drainage could not get enough Pearlite.

Big Budda Blue Cheese

Flying Dutchman Fem Mix 1

Sagamartha Mix 1

Sagamartha Mix 2: This is a strange one it topped it's self?

The new stock
Durban Poison

Flying Dutchman Fem Mix 2

Flying Dutchman Fem Mix 3

I also have 2 more Sagamartha mix sprouts but no picts.

I am having problems with my soil mix drainage mostly from not enough Pearlite. I am going to build a ebb & flow table from an outdoor pond kit and use Fox Farm nutes. Can anyone tell me if I can switch from soil to hydro on the plants I have. The table will use rockwool and lava rock. I plan on building it asap after I dig out of the 2 1/2 foot of snow.

Yes some my plants look wild under the leds.

The new 400w HID will be here soon. I wish I had more power but will have to rewire to get more.

Looking good Pan, you definitely could use some more light, that 400 will give them a kick in the butt....Do you know which Sagarmatha strains they are or were they from their variety pack.. I just ordered some of their Blue Thunder.. Whats happening with the LED research?

 

[pan4gold49]

Thanks Irie.
The led research is going good the blue led bank in the veg cabinet makes for some nice plants. Have added some royal blue leds. But to flower I have found the leds I want to use have buy 2000 minimum order. Ultra red is missing 660 to 690nm. So I had a choice between the HiD or the leds and the HiD won for now.
I will be placing the order in Jan for the leds. Now on to a hydro setup so I can keep this going and have a control group for led testing.

Hempy Holidays
