LED grown Sour 60

beautiful report SAH.....

I had to drop the shelf again tonight since they grew 5.5 inches in 5 days after feeding them Icc's tea mix.

They are sucking up the water now and when I was moving them around I could feel that they were on the light side and so tomorrow i'll give them just plain PH'd water.

The tall pheno seeds were the last seeds started and further along then the others.

Looks like they took the feeding very well, and at the right time, you have entered the rapid growth stage, great jod for sticking with the TEA. I see big beautiful buds in the near future. I also noticed you gave them a double feeding, of the mild TEA, is ok if they can handle it ,, seems like they did well, but just be sure not to over do it. Medium TEA on day 42, you using the Black Gold now??

Can't wait to see the end weight on these keep it up bro!

Thanks......

Because of how they reacted the first time I gave them the tea mixture ( badly ). I decided the feeding on 12-15-09 would only be a weak one even with the mild tea. They got one full cup of nuted water and one cup of PH water. This time once I could tell they were reacting fine I went ahead and made a full dose of the tea ( 2 gallons ) and gave each one two cups of it. ( Beer Cups )

I figured they would be ok since they are in full bloom and doing great.

Yes I used the Black Gold stuff this round.

Plants are looking good SAH. How long have you been flowering under that Panel??? Im about to get my Babies into flowering. I just dont know if I should add CFLS or just do the LED Panel, What do you think.

These have been under the LED lights right from the start. I wanted to see if ONE light setup would go the whole distance and up to this point it has.

I really am waiting to see some other reports to see if the branching is the same for everyone. If it is this strain is going to be one that you cannot pack in as they need room. One of these plants all LST'd out going under one light I betcha would produce a very nice yield.

The question of adding more lights is a good one because in this case I would always say more is better.

BUT

If you are in a position to test the light instead of in a big need of smoke. ( You know what I mean ? ) Leave the light and see how it does by itself.

Even though I am not doing a side by side test most of the members that have grown out AF's are going to see if it works or not without me telling them either way.

2 beer cups?? Are you getting enough Runoff?

When feeding you are supposed to Flush with the TEA. Get at least 12-16ozs of RunOff of feeding water per pot in the 5.5 in sq pots, much more for larger pots. Then you will really see the potencial this system has. RunOff is a must when feeding, Without flushing when feeding can cause buildups in the soil you DON'T want. The idea is you flush out the old and replace it with the new. It also keeps the soil much more healthy for some reason. Next time you feed them, Day 42 I would give them a MILD TEA FULL DOSE FLUSH. I choose Mild as you have never given them a Full Feeding by not flushing with the feeding.

This might also explain why they took the double feeding as it was really like a single feeding. JUICE them bro they can take it! Flush when you feed!

Peace ICC.

You have to take into consideration that these LED lights do not produce enough heat to help evaporate some of the extra water in the pot the plant does not use.

When I over water with these lights it takes much longer for them to recover from the watering. Once I started watering less and transplanted them thats when they really started taking off. I am getting maybe a 1/3rd of a beer cup for run off. Thats why I like the mild tea mix with these lights the best. After a few grows i'll get used to the new equipment and your tea mixes for a better outcome.

So now that the root base is really in place I am going to go back to watering them like I would have before.

I would have to think that with all the plain waterings in between using the tea mixtures that soil would be flushed enough ?

Thansk again sah! Much appreciated

 

[StickyFingerz]

My plants are 21 days old and stink. I had to put my DIY carbon Filter inside my exhaust slp.

 

[SirTOKESalot]

They look FANTASTIC!

They look FANTASTIC!

How are they doing??! pics?
I have been checking every day waiting to see how they are doing haha, I bought a pack of sour60 last week. everylittle bit of info about this strain you dish out is gold to me right now.

Thx for the great post.
Great job on the grow, Thats something to look up to right there..

I can't wait to see the results from this grow. I've been following it (and other LED grows) for a while and have finally been convinced to order a 126w LED panel for myself. I'm going to be growing a SOG with about 10 Himalaya Blue Diesels under the LED. Its going to be great if these lights work as well as they're advertised to.

So LEDS would be a No go for a drip to feed Coco ?
( unless you add heaters) ?

No idea as I have no background in growing that way. I would imagine just like in the soil grow there are going to be things that need to be done different and just need to figure out what.

[S_a_H]

Ok here are the big ones.

They are around 24 inches tall and still growing taller. I think i'll count the nodes up to the point where the top starts to grow up and away from the rest and top her there. ( next grow )

[Roortokeage]

They look great, but the LEDS have no penetration or Dankness power like the HPS. This is making me think twice about my grow. Thinking about throwing in some CFLS in there.
HOw many days is this so far?

 

[Mr.Meds]

Looks like their going to have another growth spurt soon S_a_H!
