[Jay Ryan]

Thanks for the great comments. I will continue to update, and really can't wait for another 2 weeks when the buds will really form

[strainhunters admin]

lovely post bro! I have yet to see a good harvest with leds. keep up the good work!

[Mojo]

Nice LED grow,will follow this thread:)

[Jay Ryan]

Time for another update, these pics were taken on 2 October, 3 weeks into hair production, 6 weeks in the room, all are around 9 weeks old:

This is looking from where I have my water bucket (35 gallon). In front is the White Widow, behind her on the left is the El Nino

on the right is the Super Lemon Haze, behind them are two Thai plants.

The height on the SLH on the right is 5 feet, the Thai would be about 6+ feet but I pulled the top bud below the others. Now the other branches are almost 5 feet tall.

Side View, Thai on the left, El Nino to the right, Super Lemon Haze in the back :

This is the Super Lemon Haze you can see in the background:

Over all the plants look great. They are drinking regularly, about 30 gallons every 10 days. I am preparing the 3rd res change this weekend.

Buds are absolutely every where. The plants are a lot wider, and bushier than I expected. Live and learn.

6 weeks to start of harvest, and counting

Nyce Jungle my friend... those girs are bushy & looking beatiful.

[Jay Ryan]

drunkknucklehead,

I have 4 120w tricolor leds, and 5 125w CFLs that hang below the canopy.

This is my second grow with the room the way it is. My first grow was more plants ( but they weren't as big. They yeilded right around 16 ounces.

I bought them on ebay, let me know if you want the seller's info. They cost $159 a piece, and give off zero heat. The plants can grow into them and there is no burn, but if you let the buds get too close for a long time (weeks) the buds will bleach out.

[Jay Ryan]

Latest update as of 8 October:

I set up a veg area in the shed

On the left is a Super Lemon Haze, on the right Him Gold, in the center cuttings one week old

Enter the jungle:

front is White Widow, behind left is el nino, right is super lemon haze, in the way back, thaix2

just over 3 weeks into bud, here they are:

White Widow

El Nino

Super Lemon Haze

El Nino with Super in the background:

Thai:

Observations:

White Widow smells almost as sweet as El Nino which is incredibly juicy sweet.

The Thai is still growing taller. She is around 6 feet right now.

Everything is so much bushier than the last grow, not sure why, but they all look very healthy, bud sites every where!

Peace,

J

[Romeu9]

Very good! And nice new begginings there too!

take care

[Jay Ryan]

drunkknucklehead-,

If you look at my previous post under grow room design/Super Shed, my original post on the shed, you can see the results of the LEDs.

I grew more plants, but I think that I can go with even less plants and still fill the room out. Last time I walked away with about 16 ounces, dry and cured.

Thanks!

[Jay Ryan]

tokage,

My favorite, smell as I have not finished one yet, is the EL Nino. She smells so juicy fruity!!!

Thanks!

Hi Jay... Very nice vege area, liked the inner system u did for the clones, are those 360 or 180 degrees sprayers with out the top?

[Jay Ryan]

In the bucket the sprayers are 360 degree, and are $1 a piece here:

I think the main thing though is to completely cover the clone in this stuff, Vita Grow anti wilt:

I did all the clones almost 10 days ago, and have lost only one leaf. The roots are a bit slow, but the clones have been growing new shoots and leafs. Very cool!

[Jay Ryan]

Four weeks into bud, and it's getting jungle ish in here

The order is the same as the above pics, just a lot more budding!

White Widow:

El Nino:

Super Lemon Haze:

Thai way up high!!!

The Thai is around 6 12 feet tall now, and the Super Lemon Haze isn't far behind.

[anguscr]

Hi Jay... lovely plants, seems that now that u have less plants they develop more, very good work my man.

[Guest superbluehaze]

looking excellent, my friend. Amazing!

The Thai needs less water, and more oxygen around the root zone.

happy harvest,

john

[Jay Ryan]

Just over 6 weeks with hairs, here is what the ladies look like:

White Widow, looks tasty:

And her buds:

El Nino (I see her as the star performer of this grow):

And her buds:

Super Lemon Haze:

And her buds:

And finally the Thai Monsters:

And her trippy looking buds:

Let me tell you one thing, the smell in that room is incredible!!!

Peace,

Jay

[anguscr]

Very nice Jay.... those girls look beatiful, all of them, beatifull green color on all the girls, very good work my friend ... the shed is getting full of colas.... very nice!!!!!!!

[Jay Ryan]

tokage,

In the room, when I brush up against El Nino the smell is the most intense, extremely fruity!

But, on the front side of the shed there are two air vents, one I have a fan connected to, so while the lights are on, the fan runs, keeping the humidity and temp down. However, if you are standing in front of the shed you are hit with the exhaust from the fan, and the smell is almost all Thai. It's the hazy, woody minty smell of a good Sativa. Not much coming off the plant itself that I can notice, maybe too close to El Nino, but the combination is incredible.

To bad we can't bottle the scent

[Guest superbluehaze]

You have quite a jungle in there and they are looking amazing;

I take my hat off to your skills.

Your thai, though needs a good flush, and then a lower EC

and less water, the roots need oxygen.

The equatorial sativas do not like too much food or water, especially when flowering;

if you cut back on the water with the thai, and a lower EC, she will improve.

great stuff.

happy growing, Jay

and harvest,

john

[anguscr]

Jay... Great plants u have there, love them all, but that Thai & El Niño are awesome. Great work!!!!!

[Romeu9]

Amazing colours as always Jay!

The el nino is so amazing! I hope that the White Lemon have big traces of her!

Take care

[Jay Ryan]

The White Lemon sounds like an amazing plant, good luck!

[Jay Ryan]

Update November 7th:

I moved my black and white plastic wall 2 feet, and pulled the plants apart, opening up the grow a bit.

My White Widow is covered with tricomes, and sitting under a 400 watt hps:

The El Nino is off the hook:

The Super Lemon Haze is getting huge, and the buds are everywhere!

Looks like maybe 2 weeks left for the white widow and el nino, then I'll give them water only for a week. I'm still hoping to plump up the buds some more.

Any ideas?
