When the 1st plant does go lighter, they all get grow nutes.
Looks like a nice healthy seedling. I've grown 1 med gom plant before. Was a superb high. Cbd is so under rated. I grew two of those out and they were excellent. That Dinafem does look pretty good. Do you happen to remember how long from sprout to harvest for the med gom Fevs said:.
About 60 days. Fevs said:. Skylan01 said:. I haven't started any nutes yet and looks like i might be beyond 14 days before I do it, not sure at this point. I'm sure once I get some more leaves they'll take off but it's been slow going so far.
I know K isn't ideal but she seems to be responding well to it. It looks like the one under the COB is really happy with the lighting - standing straight up and stopped growing tall, stem is looking really nice to me.
The second one was kind of a panic sprout, my first took 5 days to come out of the soil and I was thinking it might not sprout, so I started the other one in a rapid rooter without adequate light. First one is 8 days, second one is 6 days from sprouting. Do you see anything that I should be doing differently? View attachment View attachment Yeah these dr 60 grow tents are good for a stealth grows, I have mine inside my clothes cupboard.
You could walk into my bedroom and you would never know it was there. I had to put my 4" TT fan in my loft because when I had it in the tent it was way too loud in my bedroom.
That's why the bamboo sticks come into play as the negative pressure sucked the tent in too much, seems to have done the trick tho. I think you are right about the fan blowing on the leaves, thank you for giving me the heads up about it I will change it in a couple of minutes straight after iv rolled a smoke. I'm also going to raise the light slightly, the only reason i lowered the light is because temps here in the UK have slightly dropped and my temps in the tent dropped to degrees.
I'm going to wait until my plant stops stretching then I'm going to put my hps heat shield on so i can have the bulb inches away from the buds. I am probably missing out by not using it, but i always get lovely tasting rock hard buds so i have never grown any other way.
Thank you for your advice, very much appreciated. Also, forgot to say. If you use enough warm water to mix molasses, you can actually use it to bring them temperature of the overall feed up, so the plant doesn't get shocked from cold feed. Box-shaped reflectors are very efficient in directing lumen toward the plants in a smaller area but in greater intensity. These reflectors will grow bigger buds so if you need dense and huge buds then this is your best bet.
Wing reflectors unlike box-shaped ones can be adjusted to alter the lumen intensity and light spread. With these reflectors, you can lose some light efficiency because when the lower intensity light waves reach the plant they cannot be absorbed as well so some of the original light is lost.
But overall this reflector is a bargain as you can reach wider areas and if needed you can adjust it for bigger intensity. This reflector is made for growers who want really high intensity in a small area and usually is used by commercial large scale growers to get the light really close or closet growers. However, this is not the best reflector kit because the glass shell that protects the bulb from getting heat out will bend and refract the light so it will bounce off in odd angles and you will lose some lumens as well!
This is your best choice if you have one bulb and many plants because this reflector is better for light spread and will illuminate a larger area! The straight glass will lose fewer lumens and the light will not be reflected, bent so much! These box-shaped reflectors are the main choice for cannabis growers because they lose the least amount of light and their spread is greater.
Another way to save your bulbs from failure is to leave them on all the time. At first, this sounds a bit controversial, but when you think about it, you get more growth from the 24 hour light period as I explained in my autoflower light schedule article , and every time you switch on your HPS light the metal at both ends of the arc tube gets a considerable amount of shock by heating up from room temperature to the operational heat.
Every time this shock happen the metal can get weaker and a rip or failure can happen. High-pressure sodium bulbs have a lifespan of about 1 to 3 years and that makes them quite long-living but this lifespan is not the real deal as usually, these bulbs lose their lumen output and after the one year mark you will need to change it to get the most out of your grow! Usually, growers aim for the hour life as past that stage the lumen output is decreased and you will be burning the same electricity amount for fewer lumens.
The best way to measure this is to get a Light meter and measure the lumen output at a constant distance after 6 and 12 months of running. If you see a significant lumen output decrease then it is time to change the bulb but usually, it is best to change them every year. One more good tip is not to touch your bulbs because when you touch something you leave oil and other materials on that surface in the form of fingerprints.
When these materials are left on a bulb and it gets hot, they can evaporate cooling one part of the glass and it can easily shatter. You can maneuver your HPS bulbs with gloves or other protection but if you touch them with unprotected fingers wipe them clean before turning ON. Another way to avoid fractures and failures is to never get water on those bulbs as cold water droplets can again easily stress the glass and it can break.
This usually happens when autoflower or regular growers are using hand sprayers for foliar feeding or just to give more water to the plant.
You can use hand sprayers if you have an HPS bulb with a complete reflector that has the protective glass shell at the bottom. My last advice is not to move your High-pressure sodium bulbs when they are glowing because the metal at the ends of the arc tube is hot.
