shire Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I have finally got these seeds going yay, so apologies Mark for the late start to this diary with only 3 weeks of 2015 left. Anyways, really excited about both of these strains and am looking forward to the grow very much I will be using a mix of 600w hps and a 75w led for the lighting in veg and flower. At the moment they are under a 110w cfl propagation light as they are still only a few days old . I will be growing in coco, using Bio Nova a/b and rhizotonic for the nutrients and growing the plants in 6L square pots. I soaked 8 seeds in tepid water for 24hrs, all the seeds cracked and were put in small pots filled with warm seedling soil. All had broken through within 48 hours-ish. I did manage to lose one due to me dropping them after a few beers at the weekend, oops! So that leaves 3 x MD and 4 x BK to grow. A few pics from tonight to get this very late diary going..

Dinafem-Mark Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 They look like they are coming along very well. Nice healthy green with nice internode spacing, not to much stretch. They look great Thank you for the picture update very much appreciated keep up the good work it will pay of in the end All the best D-M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Cheers Mark. The plants are about a month old now and still under the 110 w propagation light , they are coming along. Will be going into the bigger tent in about a week. then the 600 hps will be on them in their final pots Couple of pics from tonight 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinafem-Mark Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I must say that the lower watt cfls,t5s etc do keep the plants a lot more squat and look to reduce the stretch?.. These are going to explode when in there final pots and under the hps Nice update and thank you for the pictures very much appreciated.

botanics Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Looking sweet @@shire, glad I happened to pop in during the early days @Dinafem-Mark Don't know what it is about tubes mate but every plant I've ever put under them has loved the experience, much better than CFL's yet the same thing really, must be the evenness of light and heat etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinafem-Mark Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 @@botanics whatever you are doing keep doing it mate. The plants look to love the environment so if it ain't broke. I was just surprised at how uniform and little stretch you had. I think it is because I'm used to hps for everything. Are they t5 strip lights mate?

shire Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Cheers Mark, I put them under the 600 last night and super cropped all the main stems. I usually top my plants but this time just trying to get the shape I want from bending them Hi @@botanics, thanks for popping in. I have very high hopes for both these strains. So far so good Plants will be potted up into the final 6L pots next couple of days and are currently on on 1.5l A/B and 1ml Rhizo. Pic from tonight...

They look great now bring on the bigger pots Nice update as usual mate Keep up the great work. All the best D-M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
botanics Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) @Dinafem-Mark Mark, the best vegging setup I've ever had was my old 5 foot T8 tubes mate I put together a bank of single fixtures bought from leccy wholesaler for cheap (ended up with a panel light that was 5 foot long by 2 foot wide, put 2 warm whites and 3 daylights in them and the plants loved them, lush green growth and never any bother (couldn't move it up or down though cos was too heavy so used staging for the plants and gradually lowered them from the lamps) A bit slower than HPS but brilliant for veg Edited January 13, 2016 by botanics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first grow was heavy duty fruity under 20 of those cfls under a hand made wooden reflector with 20 light fittings . We all start somewhere since then I was hooked All the best D-M. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
