The original PC, which I have quarantined in a loft space after its colloidal silver induced sex change.
It’s been interesting to get a better idea how the plant is acting under the LEDs now that it’s isolated like this. I see now what was bothering me about the plants under the LEDs before, when I said ‘they’re just there, but I can’t tell what’s happening’. I wasn’t even sure exactly what I meant by that, but now I see.
It seems like the plant is not stretching at all.
If I had this same plant under a HID it would clearly and quickly point itself upwards in the direction of the big shiny thing above it. In this case it’s taken over a week for the plant to slowly orient itself in that general direction, and now seems to be growing small buds very slowly. Compared to what I’m used to, the growth looks weak. But I’m sure it will work out in the end.
They get good reviews and Graytail’s buds under those lights speak for themselves. I think I will leave this PC there under LED alone as long as I can, to get a better feel for how it grows.
Not seeing a lot of encouraging signs in the pollination dept. Zillions of pods but not many opening and most are just falling to the floor.
I’ve ordered the ingredients for STS (silver thiosulfate solution) which is rumoured to be a more reliable way to make fem seeds.
...h00k...
In the grow the HIDs warm and dry things out and I have a small dehumidifier that runs during lights out. Works out fine for all but the most mold-prone buds.
. No- everything dries ok as long as it’s under cover. Anything left outside too long turns into a moss/rust sculpture.
