Still not quite ready for harvest but getting close!
As long as those hairs are white sheâs putting on bud mass. I even had one of my last plants pause for some reason before resuming bud growth and it basically doubled in 2 weeks.
Thank you! Great advice.
OMG, now Iâm super impressed⌠your plants are gorgeous! Could you possibly help me out? I had 6 gorilla glue plants⌠got really nervous about having so many so I gave 2 away to a friend⌠I now have 4 and have no idea at what stage they are at and what they need. How is it possible to have 2 different strains from 1 bud? 2 plants are very different. The leaves are⌠well not attractive, where as the other 2 plants are sleek and pretty to look at. Should the plants all be together or separated? I donât know how to send a photo⌠but the plants are not the same. Another little issue, one of the lights fell on one of the plants, itâs no longer standing straight⌠will it continue to grow sideways or did I almost shock it to death?
Some people like to pack their grow space with plants, but it really depends on your grow space and the amount of useable light. For me personally, I am doing very well with 4 plants in my 5x5 tent with 4 1000w King Plus LED lights (basically 1 light for each plant) and nutrients. I barely have enough room as it is to go in and water them because my two Auroras are monsters and my two Bubblicious autos are super bush. As for your damaged plant; it should start growing up towards the light if not damaged to badly.
I had to swap sides with the plants. My Auroras almost got a buzz cut from the fan. They are getting huge!!
The 400nm to 700nm range is the light that is typically required for photosynthesis. Just about any grow light will produce light in this range. So in a way yes, but seeds will germinate without any light at all. If youâre keeping your planted pots under a light within that range youâre all good.
I think you may be confusing amount of par and the wavelengths of light that create par.
Youâre saying that you have the seedlings under 400-405 Ĺłmols?
Or maybe Iâm confused. Either way, if youâre talking about how much light, I think anything around 100-150 Ĺłmols would be fine. But Iâm not a horticulture buff either. Best to get an expert opinion.
I understand. Canât really say Iâve seen seeds that have been germinated not pop due to not enough or to much light. But I think it happens regularly with water issues. Make sure to keep the top of the soil moist without over watering. I believe most will just mist top of soil with a spray bottle. Are you checking ph of your water?
Yeah, I would suspect over watering if the seeds were sprouted within a viable temperature range. @dbrn32 is right on top of it.
You guys are talking too scientific for me!
@Ditosdad13 Those are ridiculously awesome looking!! I can only hope mine are 1/2 as good as those.
Not really that scientific. Think of the reasons we donât grow with incandescent bulbs⌠they donât produce enough of the right kind of light. The wavelengths are type of light, commonly referred by color. The par is how we measure the amount of light in the colors we need.
Most people will see some grow journals, or ask what a good grow light is. Or if one is better than the other, and then take whoeverâs word for it. If you understand this data, youâd never have to ask about another grow light.
For example, full spectrum should mean a light provides at least some amount of every wavelength that a plant will absorb. And it usually does. But it doesnât mean that particular light produces enough of each wavelength to maximize a targeted phase of your plant. This is why led growers use blue light to veg and red to flower. Hid growers use mh to veg and hps to flower. And cfl growers use cold white for veg and warm white to flower. Each is better at producing different wavelengths of light.
It doesnât mean you canât do the whole job with one. But in the case of an led, you want the blue to red ratio to be on point. Otherwise, the light will lean to being a better light for one end of the grow or the other.
All I know is that I use one 1000w King Plus full spectrum LED for each of my 4 plants and the results were pretty good in my own opinion. I just harvested 1 Bubblicious plant yesterday and got 724 grams of wet buds. I know that will reduce to around 70% less once dried and cured but still good.
So you figure youâll be in the neighborhood of a gram per actual watt, that sounds about right.
Congrats on the harvest!
