LSD and Northern Light Pc grow

[thcgecco]

Hello everyone,

I decided to start a Pc grow box because one of my friend gave me 2 clones from his plants . He has an LSD plant from Barney's farm and a Northern Lights from Nirvana seeds i guess.
The construction is simple but it seems it works very well . There are 4 cfl lights in the box. 2x23w (6400k) , 2x15w (2400k) which runs in a 18-6 time period.
There are 2 out take and 1 intake fan in the box , and there are 2 different type of carbon filters ( which are homemade ) to the out take fans. The temperature in the box is 24 degree in daylight , and 17-18 degree in darkness.
The LSD plant is doing well , the plant is about 1 month old and i started to LST it. I have to keep it vegging until January because my job is to make 2 clones from the Northern Lights which will be given to my friend for flowering it.
The Northern Lights plant looks like this because i planted it too early in a soil which is full of nutrients. But i hope it will be out of it soon , and i can make another clone from it.
In January i will start the flowering of the LSD plant with 4x23 w cfls.
If you have any idea or question about the box just ask me.
Each day I will try to upload pictures about the plant , thanks for watching.

So this is the situation today, the NL looks better day by day and it started to grow leaves. The bigger plant looks healthy , i let it to grow as big as possible and feed it with vegging nutrients 3 ml / l in rainwater. The PH level is around 6,2 . I still can't measure the EC level because i don't have my detector but i can't see any damages on the leaves so i keep feeding it.

I'm looking forward to watching your progress. Keep us updated!

Thanks , here are some new pics about the situation.

LSD EC:0,86
NL EC: 0,73

I think everything goes fine , now the only thing i can do is to wait and keep the situation . I might use some brain control for the plants to grow and be healthy

Im sure i will do my best with this Pc grow , and if i get to the flowering part i might do some changes with the cfl lights , i haven't decided it yet what kind of changes , maybe i replace them to bigger ones.

go for leds, i have small pc that i use for veggies once in a while, had 60w clf's in it, replaced with 10w cob, have more light now..

 

[thcgecco]

Too much investment because this is just a trial and i would like to keep this system in the future as a vegging box and i will concentrate my money on something bigger. Now i need to save some money and , i have to wait until the right time. But thanks for the comment , i was thinking about it too.

screw in bulbs aint the money?

Looks ok. Soil looks rather dense, esp. smaller plant. Next grow....add perlite about 30%. Allows roots to breathe.

 

[thcgecco]

It is much cheaper to buy bulbs.
About the soil: yes i have already taught about it , in the next round i will take some perlite and coco into the composana soil. It contains , perlite but it is not enough for the plant .
Thanks

 

[thcgecco]

so this is about today

 

[thcgecco]

I have replaced the NL into a bigger pot and added to the composana some coco soil which has been improved with calcium nitrate .

 

[thcgecco]

this is how it looks

So i used this type of nutrient for vegging as 3ml/l but now it is empty so i need to change it to wuxal. I have to make 2 clones (for my friend) from the northern light plant and keep vegging the LSD one. I hope i will be able to cut the clones in a month and after that i change the time period into 12/12. SO let it BlOoM

Today's pictures.

So i have changed the timer to 12/12. I tried to make the size of the plants as big as it wont be able to reach the bulbs .

 

[g33kzerb0y]

looking good!How big is your pc case? and what temps are you getting now that the plants are so close to the bulbs?

 

[aridbud]

So i have changed the timer to 12/12. I tried to make the size of the plants as big as it wont be able to reach the bulbs .

Since these are photo period plant (I'm guessing), they will double in size during bloom cycle. LST gently bending down branches so you don't snap the stalks/branches.


Next time, consider autos for PC. Photos can be done, but they prefer more space.


Looks good!
