Hi :D
My first and old thread of sils
https://www.icmag.com/forum/marijuan...ro-grow/page75

So with the new lights that i got, is time for a new grow diary. Im no longer using Sils on tiny cabs, now i use them in tiny cabs and i will start to use my light on my 1mx1mx2m tent.
The tent still need some upgrades that im working on, ventilation and light leaks, the worst one are a bunch of tiny holes all over the tent that look like tiny stars, i dunno if that can disrupt the night cicle or not but im not going to risk it and im going to cover the inside walls with black and white plastic, dont buy cheap tents guys :shucks:

What im growing...
For now and since i popped a bit of too much seeds im going to start with an Acid Kush Auto fem from Urban Legends and some other friends..
they are growing in a my of biobizz light and all mix, im using the biobizz line of nutes too, grow, bloom, calmag, aloe vera, and bio heaven in specific uses..i use also bactohemp in specific uses or when i feell they kinda slowed down because i did something stupid, and epsom salts.. i will pot up the other girls to 7 l pots and flowering with auto i think..

Acid Kush auto 7l pot +/- 3 weeks of life

Red diesel, a mature plant that had ruff times in her life, now she is a happy girl
Click image for larger version  Name:	20210906_191603.jpg Views:	4 Size:	66.3 KB ID:	17936462



The first day with the light was yesterday at a tiny bit upper than 25% and the distance from the girls is from 50 to 70 cm, depending how tall the pot is, also if i fell is too close like my red diesel, i put them on the side of the tent.
since i start growing with SILS, i used my luxmeter alot just because i already know at what readings i should use to the diferent stages of their life..i tried to use my lux meter and thats why the light is in this configuration, i tried to obtain similar results on my lux meter having in mind is not exactly the same because of the chips with specific spectrums.

Today was the second day and i notice some slight differences on some girls..they all look happy praying at the light but i kinda feel they growed more in yhese 2 days compared with the sils, also the green looks different, not in a bada way, but more vibrant, alive. I know this light make them more demanding of calmag, so i will up the calmag and epsom salts a bit to see if i maintain their healthiness:D

Only after i get an harvest under it i can say if im pleased with it or not, but so far im pretty happy.. congrats on marshydro :D
Hell, im coming from sils so obviously it can only be better

Thanks bro, this was a good oppurtunity to grow a bunch of autos from skunki but unfortanly i popped too many photo seeds when i didnt know i was getting the light so that is going to be future grows but i would like yo do it now honestly.

How much was the light after all was said and done?
Plants are looking good- cheers!

Hi bsgospel, thanks for coming by :wave:
270€, are you thinking buying one? the one i really wanted was the fc3000, but is not in stock in Europe, so i went to the tsw..i thought about 2 sp150 to for better light spread but the budget was tight and even having this budget was a miracle :D

Peace :tiphat:

Yeah, I am. The shop down the street has em for $300. So comparable to what you paid. The guy there said it was drawing about 340w from the wall. Does that sound right?

Yes it does for what my watt meter showed me.. i think if you can you should go for it, i think you cant go wrong like many others and how i hope too..

If you buy it, dont forget to show the ladys under :D

All the girls look good appart 2 that i dont know what it is..something i notice, all of them started to smell while in veg, only if i sniff the tops, but it was something that only my og kush did under sils, none of thers did, the og doesnt smell more now, and i think is because of the IR chips..

also since i switch to this light my black domina and the gorilla glue dont look totally happy, they never pray now, they even bend the top fans down (stem), they look good in colour, maybe the pot is too small, but i dont think they quite show rootbound because i have my clones for weeks now in those tiny pots and i have been feeding them and they grow, not the same as filling a pot with roots, but they dont look like this..i supposed it was too much light so i raised it a notch, but i didnt see any improvements..comparing to others, using the same soil, feedings etc, i dont know..
some pics..

Group shot

My red diesel, i cleaned her a bit of some stangre growth from when she was bad, she looks good and healthy i think, those not so good looking fans are from 2 weeks ago, not now
20210908_204717.jpg


My og kush, i like a lot of this girl, she recovers from everything fast, always seems to be happy, praying to the god LED, her roots are explosive, she is the one with the bigger root ball by a long time, all of them look healthy, i cleaned some lowers to clone, now she just have 4 tops 2 in the top node, 2 right below.. also is looking a bit to light green on the tops so i think i will push the feed a bit further to see if she improves
20210908_204513.jpg


My mamba negra had some problems in the last watering due to me, i wet the leafs, some bad looking leafs also a bit of too much N, i also cleaned some lowers to clone, dont have a lot of hope on them due to overall health of the mom, lets see

20210908_204517.jpg


My jack herer x black domina, i didnt like this girl a lot when she was a seedling but now, since i like a lot how she develops with toping, in my opinion she is great to mainline, very even, equal growth on both sides, i need to clean some lowers too but its for a few days from now, i will top her again, i think this one will like a more bulkier feed
20210908_151933.jpg
20210908_151939.jpg



My bangi haze is a happy girl since the new light, she now grows more squatier, not something stupid squat, but doesnt stretch so much now.. everyday is praying day, btw. I took a pic this night 30 mnts before lights on and her and the kali chinas where the ones already awake waiting for the light to be on :D some side branches start to show
20210908_162748.jpg
20210908_152452.jpg



My kali chinas are beautifull fat girls..i found amazing how one can have the same ammount of nodes and be much more smaller overall, the taller one is a beautifull light green, not showing a lot in pics, but under the light yes..i need to see tomorrow under the sunligth, the squatier is of a more darker green but not too much

20210908_152314.jpg



My somango is a happy girl, unfortanly this girl almost has no smell, just a fade scent of something..she doesnt mind anything untill now
20210908_152125.jpg



my gorilla glue is one of the girls that bend the leafs down by the stem, everything looks good in my newb head, i dunno, im waiting to see what she tells me in the next days
20210908_152137.jpg



My black domina is the other one unhappy girl, also waiting
20210908_152148.jpg


My somango, the black domina and the gg look very similar in every way

20210908_204649.jpg


even my skunk clone after some feed looks happy but just in the top leafs, the stems look a disgrace :D
20210908_152619.jpg



My clones over the drivers of the light, no worrys, bo water there, im carefull also very light weight
20210908_204342.jpg



And last but not less important is my Acid Kush Auto, like all the others she is growing more and foster since the new light, also looks very happy, very healthy in every aspect, im very pleased with her until now and the smell of her lead me thinking it is going to be good in flower
20210908_152513.jpg
20210908_204602.jpg
20210908_204627.jpg


Overall they all present a faster healthier growth rate, i noticed that also on how they present themselves, the light is a top notch over 25% and from 60 to 70 cm from the girls if anyone think i should do anything different, please contribute.. also rh is usually aroun 60~66% and temps around 25~27c..

Lesson to learn, research before doing something

So, 2 days ago when i was admiring my girls ( admiring them gently dance on the wind makes me calm like when i was looking to big family aquarium when i was little) i saw through the corner of my eye something light green moving in my jack herer x black domina and i kinda see it move under the leaf..i picked up my girl look under and nothing..

I lay her down and behold, it was a light green type of flying insect, i picked it up and give its life back to the universe, look for more and nothing in sight, close the tent, bye.

Next day, yesterday, i was on instagram scrolling when i past this picture from what seems something related to our girls
Click image for larger version  Name:	Screenshot_20210910-022251_Instagram.jpg Views:	0 Size:	72.8 KB ID:	17939409
it was Ed Rosenthal page "teaching" that this guy was the Green Lacewig, and how they are BENEFECIAL to our girls against aphides and others modafocas even in when they are only in larvae stage. BTW they aparently are just recommended in greenhouses and outdoors, grow rooms not because when they end up the food, they or either die from starvation or from other Lacewig, but i think its a bit like when people put ladybugs in their grows

I then think about it and realize i was stupid ,not because i killed the guy, but because i did it without research a little bit to see if i could find something related between him and the girls, wich had and a very good one.

Then the next hypothesis came to my mind, he was in search of probably food, i asked him but i didnt got a response that i could see or ear, so can i have anyone in my grow besides my girls that was not suposed to be there?
Indeed i see some girls cupling their leafs, not the the way i said in the other day, but i atribited that to the fan that i have pointed at the girls, is not very close and is not very strong, the red diesel, og kush, and mamba negra are right below it, bangi haze is close to them and they dont present that cup shape, except for the bangi, but they were early leafs, the now more mature bigger leafs are good..
but that cup shape can also mean pests and everytime i see a girl cup a leaf here and there i go and inspect them, from top to bottom and seeing the leafs under the light to help se something moving or any other shit, and i never see.. besides that, i guess if i was to get a pest or infestation of anything in anyone it was probably first on my window girls, and they are fine..

also none of them show any signs on their leafs, neither white spots, anything, and i am out of neem, but i still have a bit that i can use to make 0.5l to spray them.
20 mnts after lights out they were all in a deep coma

One by one, bath time, and here they are, all wet, but none of them liked the bath, so they all droop even more
Click image for larger version  Name:	20210910_020026.jpg Views:	0 Size:	77.1 KB ID:	17939411

I gave every girl a good shake and back inside.

I still have the rest of the bottle, around 230ml wich is in the place where i seed my girls, is around 27c, and i will apply again tomorrow.

I dunno if i have anything or not but either is going to hurt them so....and i will search for more of this guys outside :D

Peace :tiphat:

Green lacewings are good, you're right! But a flying one doesn't *always* mean there's pests there, since they're so mobile. The green lacewing larvae are the real hunters, and I get them whenever I suspect I have an insect problem. Once they grow wings they're outa there as soon as they can be, I've seen them fly out of my grow cabinets before. May have just stopped in to check for snacks.

Yeah you'd probably see the larvae, they're small but definitely visible. They look like little alligators 🐊
