Quadracer's LED Closet Grow

[Quadracer5487]

This is my gorilla glue grown from a bagseed I found she was vegging outside but I brought her indoors about 3 weeks ago due to temperatures reaching upwards of 120° in the shade ...

Anyways the current setup is as follows
Lighting : 300w full spectrum aswell as a 450w selectable spectrum allowing to turn off the blue or the red

Growing medium: is soil but with about 3 inches of hydroponic clay pebbles placed at the bottom the container was then placed in a 5 gallon bucket set up with four air stones and nutrient water it's kinda like a organic deep water culture I also have two two lengths of rope that hang into the water in the 5 gallon bucket which allows the soil to self water when it needs it

Anyways been about 14 days Seince i flipped the lights to 12/12 I've never grown with LED lights only hps but so far in impressed with the growth im seeing but have to see what the end results are

Well these pictures are about 23 days after switching to 12/12 so far so good she seems pretty happy?

Shortly after I started this thread and posted my set up I added a co2 bag just to help insure it's getting enough Seince the room it's in never gets entered and it only me really in the house so I figured a lil extra co2 couldn't hurt wish I had a way to measure the co2 content in the air but on a budget and don't got alot of extra money I had a lil oscillator fan but the motor burned up so using a Jerry rigged one but seems to be OK temps are ranging from 73 to around 78 tops

Also seen another persons Post somthing about finding a pheno type with like 9 leaves so I said hmmm wonder if my plant has anything going on like that so went and looked at it and has 9 leaves on some 8 on others hell a few only have four im thinking mine did this due to stress from when I transplanted her

Also due to stretching I had to move the lights so there is one on each side of the plant in trying to kinda turn the plant about 90° each day or so also kinda even it out.

I now alot of the bottom stuff isnt going to develop good even with hid lighting u get popcorn usaly at the bottoms of ur plant if u leave the small BS stuff im wondering if I should just cut some of. This lower stuff of cause I've read and heard it both ways I've seen once u flower never cut anything off ur just wasting yeild at that point because the buds are Gona grow as big as they can with what they got and curing the smaller stuff off wont make a diff but then I have heard that if u cut the small crap that won't fully develop that it will allow the plant to focus on spending more energy on the upper stuff that is Gona devolop good and help have larger buds on thoughs areas hope my question makes Seince hope u get a awnser

Took my girl out side it was about high 80s but over cast even though it's hot im sure she appreciated the fresh air she's at around 32 days Seince I flipped the lights to 12 and 12 she looks good I think but feel like she's got to really get going here I think
