Smokewitme's LED Grow 2nd Grow

[smokewitme]

Hey all I'm back with a new grow(not that anyone noticed I was gone lol), this time with leds and more plants. Hoping to get some of you to join me on this journey and help wherever possible because I will definitely need it.

Here is the setup (pics coming soon)
LEDs(custom built) 360 real watts(600w hps equivalent)
Veg room-
Grow room -
Gonna be starting from clones picking them up this weekend once I decide what strains.

Strains- to be determined(feel free to suggest some strains)

Grow plans-undecided going to either sog or scrog trying to maximize yield

Grow medium- soil(fox farm ocean forest)

3-5gal pots not to sure on this either last time I went with air pots they worked but Idk if they worked any better then a cheaper option thinkingnof going with those mesh pots that look like bags maybe I can get some input on this before I buy them lol

Also I don't really want them bigger then 3 feet


(This journal is a little premature although I plan on starting end of this week I'm not to sure on the strain or grow style hoping to get some input and ideas from this vast community of growers)

[coopexquisite]

Definitely! And I was wondering if I could use your experience from your first harvest and help me out with mine. She's near the end, but I don't know how close. Think you can take a look at her and let me know what you think? Thanks in advance.

Damn that sux but better an early chop than a lost plant.

Impatiently waiting for your update

 

[smokewitme]

Update coming tmrw finally got started would post pics but I'm tired so I'll post em tmrw

 

[smokewitme]

So I decided to go with the strains grape ape, and true og.
Medium in decided to try coco with perlite (hope I mixed it right��)
Lights are 360watt led cob "custom built"(wasn't involved in picking the lights I would have went with legs but hopefully these work good)
Nutes- 3 part GH florabloom, micro, and grow. Plan on putting in some. Ore additives as I go along

Going to be installing an irrigation system today.
Got some wall fans Ima put up and I also plan on implementing co2 during veg soon
So let me know what you guys think so far still more to be done but this is what I have so far.

 

[smokewitme]

So I setup an irrigation system and fed I think I was having a nute lockout due to the ph being to high I think I fixed it today gotta get some new batteries for my pen and hope that fixes it it won't calibrate I also need to get a ppm meter gonna post some pics later today on how they are doing

 

[smokewitme]

Here is week 3 of veg about to switch to flower hope all goes well. Btw doing it this was wasn't my intentions just been extremely busy with work this was more of a side project/passion wasn't able to do the training I wanted so I might add a scrog and hope for the best yield wise but I'm sure how ever much it is it'll be quality

 

[smokewitme]

alright quick updates its been a while been busy with work and what not, so just finished up week 2 of flower plants are looking alright buds look a little underwhelming but its only the start of week 3 so still have a long way to go i will add pictures later once the lights come on
if anyone is still tuned in i plan on adding a trellis but was wondering if its too late is there ever a too late? lol because they got bigger then i expected and alot of the top canopy is covering other nodes. also i was thinking of adding some additives if anyone has any recommendations feel free to add your input. Right now im using 3 part GH and also adding some cal-mag and cannazym but i was thinking of adding some b-52 or maybe big bud or maybe even trying "terpnator" i used those on my last grow and they were frosty as hell not sure if it was all the nutes i used or the genetics lol

 

[coopexquisite]

Looking forward to the flowering pics!

You can always add a trellis. Good for support of colas and spreading out the branches.

If you think your ladies can handle some additives, go ahead and give it to em!

And the frost could have been a result of both!

Day 50 of flower they are looking good and super dense could of been better but I’m happy with how it’s turning out so far the trics aren’t showing me signs of being done so I’m sure ima atleast go to 60 days maybe more Idk Ima try and get some pics of the trics gotta charge my laptop lol
