Tabor's First LED

[tabor]

Definitely my first grow. I just watered today and noticed a bit of fan leaf clawing / curling down. My last feeding was less nutes than normal and PPM was around 750. I also need to be out of town for a few days this week. I'm hoping if I do a heavy water on Monday morning they will survive until late Thursday. I've been watering about every other or every third day. This will be almost 4 days away.

The pistols on the bubilicious are turing amber a lot more quickly than the AK48. I still have a ways to go before I'll be ready for harvest. Hoping that I don't have any big nute burn issues.

Look at Blumats. Good for when you are away or want to be lazy. I bought a set and didn't put them in because I was too lazy

Won't help thus time you are away, but if you take frequent trips, it's a good option.

Plants look good, and at 750 ppm I doubt you will have any burn

Thanks for the suggestion! Looks like a pretty easy watering system. I have been trying to keep everything super simple to limit the potential for mistakes. Depending on how well this grow ends up I may make some upgrades and possibly move into a 4x4 tent. I have a decent space to use that has plenty of available power. Otherwise I'll stick to this small tent and maybe try to do a small outdoor grow next summer.

Youre doing great

Subbed, nice setup and bud fields

Getting ready to leave in the morning and think I may have spotted some thrips damage. Trying to figure out if I should spray with some insecticidal soap at lights out or just let things ride and see how everything looks when I get back

Came home yesterday to some under-watered ladies. Gave them some fresh water and let them be. They perked back up today and seem to be doing just fine. I haven't seen any significant damage from any pests since noticing the one fan leaf. Will keep an eye out for whatever may be hindering the grow but don't want to take any drastic measures just yet. Took a few lights out pictures tonight to see if I could get a good view of the leaves and any potential damage.

I figure I have at least 3 weeks to go. Will feed again this week and see how things go...

Buds looking bubblelicious.

Very nice.

Green sticky shrubs Tabor!
I love the canopy management and the frosty bud sites.
I'll sit over here.:

awesome flowing

Plants still seem to be doing pretty well. I'm losing a lot of the lower fan leaves. They are turning brown and dying off. Not sure if I have thrips or white flies but I'm seeing small amounts of damage on some of the fan leaves still. Will see if I can clear them out before harvest. I should have about 3 or 4 weeks left to keep the ladies alive.

Little haircut in that big bush below wouldn't hurt

Led with CFL seems to work great, addition for better coverage side and lower buds.

Still chugging along:

Getting close, see few ambers.

Can you take better shot from trichs,calyx and lower nugs?

 

[JuanCarlos]

How many times did you top?

Looking great tabor!

I have a loupe and 50x-100x microscope that I've been using to check trics. There are some ambers on the sugar leaves, but everything on the buds is still clear. I'll see if I can get a picture to come through but don't have anything to match up my camera to the extra lenses.

How many times did you top?

Just FIMed once and LST to even out the canopy.

Monday will start week 7 of flower. The AK48 should be getting relatively close to being ready for chop. It has a 7-9 week window. The bubblicious is supposed to be 8-10 weeks of flower. My plan has been to start flushing this week and chop whenever they are ready. I did my last feeding yesterday. I'm hoping to get at least a full week of flush before anything needs to be chopped.

You have had a flawless first grow so far. I hope my current first grow is going to be half as successful as yours!!
