First time grower with SILS on micro grow

[PCBuds]

It's almost time to lst the amnesia...

2700k make compact buds in floweing and stout plants in veg. Plants reveg and clone faster on a 2700k.
Under this spectrum plants eat more fertilizer and water.
I had only two plants (barneys farm lsd) that after 150+ days of 12/12-10/14 were only starting flowering but i dont know if it was bad genetics or the lights.

Never grow under the 3000k

6500k is the best for veg. Plants are more branchy and with smaller thinner leaves.
I Never flower with leds under this spectrum. Only cfl but they have a different spectrum.

4000k is halfway between 2700k and 6500k.
Is not good in veg as the 65k, is almost the same in flower as the 27k.
Plants are more resistant to stresses.
Clones and reveging is a little bit longer then 27k.
Flowers under the 40k are very similar to the outdoors: big, not so dense and leafy.
Very good general purpose lamp.
Other crops are insanely more happy under this spectrum then the 27k.
And last...i see better the true colors of the plants...under the 27k leaves seems almost yellow, Under the 65k are dark green.

Thanks, Caio.
Another Golden Nugget.


I'm reposting it a the start of my thread so I don't lose track of it.

Sampas and I guessed right too.
That's a bonus. Lol

Hope everyone into the universe grows plants as big as trees.



Ps someone can help me count the branches?

Lucky bastard lol

I have to lst mine between the brambles, so the police helicopters don't see them.

I had to Google that...

Does that include my sprout/seedling too ?

What's best for my seedling?

 

[Caio]

^^^^ of the rose family...
Fu** them they are full of thorns

PS i've run out of rain so i give to plants some alpinian water

Ph 6.8 , Total ppm 22 , Ec 25.5 ?s/cm , Bicarbonates 11 ppm.

To PCBUDS: you can veg with whatever lights...depend what you want from you plants. Personally i love the 4000k, you can flower or veg without any problem with it.

You can veg without any problem with the 2700k. I do it many times

Okay thanks.


I'll use the 2700k bulb until she's bigger, then put my 5000k, 1500 lumen bulb in the center of the splitter with four 2700k, 800 lumen bulbs around the outside.

I don't have any 4000k bulbs.

Day 19 Auto Blue Amnesia xxl

Some pics in the sun for her true colors

I think everything looks good
The lights are at about 30cm +/- with readings of 10k lux
Still a long way for the 75/80 of harvest that Dinafem advertises.
I gave her a light foliar of 0.2ml/L of calmag and 0.2ml/L of Aloe exctract, they didnt seem to bother

Im liking alot the growth rate of this girl, everyday she is bigger, not in height, but the leafs and overall
Lush green like her older auto sister

The bif fat old ladys

The bif fat old ladys

My bigger girls are also good i think
The younger and smaller one stretched a bit and i think the cannopy is showing more spaced internodes, also not simetrical and i think i remember reading about this some years ago that its because she started the stretching to start flowering, dunno

The only thing i dont like in her is some brown pistils on some low nodes in the preflower in the main stem. Dunno if its maturity of her or if is because i touch them some days ago or something else.
Funny she was once the smaller one in every aspect and now its the tallest of both, less branchy, but also one week and half younger i think, plus it showed the pre flowers earlier than is older, "bigger" and branchy sister

Less internode space and is not stretching. I think she stretched at the time where the lights were to close of her, dunno, she is growing, i removed some major leafs without worrying about if i was doing it right or wrong and she doesnt seem to bother, 2 days and she is a bit fullier, so thats good.

Also they dont shown signs of lacking of any nutrient i think, not over watering or under
Some pics with lights off for better colors

Both of the cannopy are no longer curved now that i get my lights right, the leafs are perky, and with good health overall

Also, Advanced Seeds advertise that they are ready yo harvest from seed in 55/60, the older one is 61 today.
They are really late, between the torture they have been geting since birth till now, i slowed them a lot.

Peace guys

 

[Caio]

Your seedlings are doing very fine.

Your older plants are doing fine also...they are ready to flower.
Don't worry if your pistils are browning. It's not a problem.

Lst and tucking

Lst and tucking

So i had nothing to do and i decided to play with my older girls
First the younger stretchy
I gently but firmly press with my fingers the area before the bend to soften the stem and be easier and to not snap anything, straped her with just some cord (anything i have in the moment), the stem is perfect

Tried to tuck some major leafs and redirect some branches by tucking with other and some major leafs to help them get higher and even things out

The older bush i just tucked the best i can because i cant find a way to bend her with so many branches and just tight internodes

The left one have a more even cannopy

 

[Sampas92]

Experience

Experience

Also, even knowing its to late, i cuted a small low branch of the bushy older one, cut out all the nodes, leaving just the new growth, and cut in half all the fingers of the last bigger leafs, put it in my bigger cab

With the controlled environment, the fogger right next to it, and the light not to intense in that place, the leafs already perked up a bit it would be fun if i could make some fem seeds with silver and this little guy, at leats im trying something new and learning somenthing
Some random pics

Also the cannopy of my auto youngin

Peace

Older girls -plus 8 hours of darkness

Older girls -plus 8 hours of darkness

So yesterday i was thinking what caio have said about the dark and their stretch and about my older girls.
Since i straped her down and i want an even cannopy, i gave them 8 adicional dark hours to their usal 4 to see how they react, sure enough all the bud sites, the little ones and the bigger ones, all perked up, dunno if because the darnkess or not

I noticed the perkiness on the left one, the stretchier younger one, i didnt notice anything different on the older one
I went and straped her a bit more

In my inexperienced mind, im a happy men for now, my younger girls are doing fine and my older ones too.

Also, any of the leafs that are in contact with the heat cable show signs of anything bad

 

[Sampas92]

I hate days like this, and lockdown..at least in the first one the days were sunny
Plus my rh spiked in my older girls, going to add silica to their cab to see if i can manage it

Day 20 since broke soil Auto Blue Amnesia xxl

Day 20 since broke soil Auto Blue Amnesia xxl

20 days years old, looks like yesterday
I tried to "tuck" some leafs for more light in the nodes

(Sorry for my dog/cats hair)

Appart from this nothing to add unless that i raised the lights by 10/15cm +/- and i cant raise them any higher
