Mitsu Strains and Experiments - 100w LED / 60x60cm

[Mitsuharu]

Hi,

I am Mitsu from germany and i'm a small illegal grower. I did more outdoor and window grows, indoor i started 2012 with 250w HPS Light.

This will be my first full LED Grow (Vegi + Flower) and first international report.


Setup:

• Grow Tent Mars Hydro - 60x60x140cm
• LED Light TS600 Mars Hydro - 100w

Medium:

• Mostly organic soil for tomatoes & vegetables + Guanokalong powder (keep it simple )

Strains:

• Purple Cloud - Passion #1 x Orange Bud - Mitsu Genetics
• Malawi Sun - [ Malawi x Northern Lights Auto ] x Orange Bud - Mitsu Genetics
• Unknown Strain (Help me find a name!?)

The Malawi Sun Seeds were just made this summer, so these are the first 5 and so this is also a first test run for this strain... i hope they will be semi-autos/early flowering to use outdoors next year.

I just had my first own cross Purple Cloud under this LED but only a few hours, not full 12/12... I first had grown them at the window and later flowering under LED and sunlight from time to time. I harvested them about a week ago:

Freshly harvested buds...

More purple pheno:

More resin pheno:

Dry buds...

I have no digital scale so with these jars i had a long time now it must be around 40g dry buds from 2 plants:

More purple pheno:

So this new grow i started now will be full of surprises with my new created strain and this Unknown Strain which i had outdoor this summer but wasn't flowering till september:

The 5 Malawi Sun (in brown pots) and 3 Unknown Plants (in colored pots) are doing good, they also had a lot of sunlight at the window this week half day. The Malawi Suns are 3 weeks old today, the unknown strain a bit younger(did not counted the exact days). I just repotted them 3 days ago. One Malawi Sun is very slow and small but is catching up now. I'm hoping for 5 females total.

This Malawi Sun is my best horse in this race till now, very fast growing... maybe his little weed-buddy in the pot brings luck:

One of the Unknown ones had red leafs in the beginning but the red colour grew out after one day... ^^ Don't know anymore which one it was. Maybe she(or he) will get some reddish or purple colours later!?

Looking forward to see you guys here, have a seat and puff one!

beautiful

 

[Mars Hydro Led]

she looks like a strong strain.

So fast and compact growing under 100w LED. For 2 days now without sunlight(we have a golden october here, today the morning was foggy)...

Here's my recipe: ^^

 

[Mitsuharu]

What do you guys think, will this be male or female!? I take bets! (sorry, no sterling ^^)

That is my best plant btw...

I'm gonna bet male sorry, it does look like a premature male preflower to me.

 

[Mitsuharu]

How much!?

Yeah, could be male cause it's side branches are much more developed than at all other plants... at least I assume so.

But it could be a good sign too because the Malawi Suns are 25 days old now and it's nice to have early outings when i will use them for outdoor next year.

Let's see in the next days...

I will bet 1 jiffy if that's ok. Sadly it's very common for the best looking most vigorous plant to be a male, happened to me a few times haha.

 

[Mitsuharu]

Unfortunately i don't use jiffys!

Yup, the males often are fast...

So now i looked at the other side of the plant and there is something that looks more clearly like a male flower:

I will put this plant in the dark now...

 

[User 737273895]

Male.

 

[Mitsuharu]

Bad Luck... looks like i got 3 males out of the 5 Malawi Sun Seeds. One is pretty clear, the others too i think. And all 3 males are the best looking and healthiest plants of all! ^^

The other 2 Malawi Sun Plants are the smallest slowest one and the biggest one with the giant leafs. I think they will be female... but no visible hairs yet.

The smallest one is so awful slow growing. Roots are visible down in the pot... i'm thinking of repotting it in the final 7L pot hoping that it will grow better... On the other hand, it could delay the outing even further!? What do you guys think?

Why not sow a few more seeds as well? If the 7L pot plan doesn't work, the new females will probably outgrow the runt.

 

[Mitsuharu]

Nah, it's too late for more seeds, the Malawi Suns are 28 days old, i want to be done flowering with all plants before christmas. But it's no drama beause a still got the 3 Unknown Plants(they were all female in the summer), so still 5 plants in total and i will give them bigger pots now.

It's my own fault to not used more of the seeds to see more plants of my new strain growing...

EDIT:
The big Malawi Sun seems to be female, i used magnifying glasses and there is a tiny pistil! And i just repotted the small one into the final 7L container. Strange that there were roots all over the small pot but the plant is so tiny.

 

[Mitsuharu]

A lot of space on 60x60cm. Since I probably only have 2 female Malawi Suns, I am considering using a 15L pot for the large Malawi Sun... How long do you think it takes to root this pot? If i will do it, then this would be my setup for flowering:

With a little bit stretching the tent there even is space for 4 15L Pots(and they are round!) if you want. ^^

 

[revegeta666]

You should be fine with 2 x 15L pots. The usual recommended amount of soil for an indoor grow is around 100L per m2.

60x60 cm = 0,36 m2. So 36 L of soil necessary.

2 x 15L = 30L, close enough.

I would expect no less than 2 months of veg, for the vigorous one. Especially if you are going to train them to cover the tent.

 

[Mitsuharu]

Ok thanx, you mean 2 months of Veg total or 2 months from now on(=3 months Veg)?

But i have more than 2 plants. Its more that i want to know if i can root the 15L with my one month old plant in lets say 2 weeks after repotting!? You know, if it makes sense with just 100w Light and 4 - 5 plants in the tent...

 

[revegeta666]

Now I'm confused lol not sure what your plan is.

- yes I meant 2 months + 1 month in case of spreading the plant to cover the tent.
- rooting a 15L pot in 15 days with a plant that size, I'm gonna say no unless you use Coco and salts. I usually go from 1 to 3L or from 3 to 7L in 15 days in soil. But a plant doesn't need to fully root a pot to be happy, more the contrary, will be happier with more unused soil.
- it does make sense to me to have 4 plants in that tent. I would use 4x11L pots.

Not sure if I answered what you are asking

 

[Mitsuharu]

Its ok, i have to make new plans every day because still waiting for the outing from the 3 Unknown Plants. So maybe i will have 5 plants in total. These pots are the biggest i have, just wanted to overthink it, maybe i use one 15L pot as an experiment, i like adventures and surprises!

Let's wait some more days... i will make a new overview with all plants then.

 

[Mitsuharu]

More bad luck! Remember i got 3/5 males out of the Malawi Sun Seeds... now the small slow one which i repotted 5 days ago is also male! So 4/5 males, never had this much males before.

But i repotted the big Malawi Sun 2 days ago into 10L soil. It is female and a good growing compact plant. I also cutted her head yesterday so she can get bushy and use more of the grow space. 33 days old now...

...and still waiting for the 3 Unknowns to show their sex! The small pots are totally rooted but they are growing further, not a single preflower. ^^ So because the last 3 seeds i have grown in summer were all female, i will test my luck again and repot the 3 Unknowns into the final 7L pots and hope they will be all females again.

They are 28 days old now.

I also repotted the Groupie yesterday.
