lamsbread 1,380 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hey kerbiili Nice sounding set up. Thanks for starting a journal always niceto see other peoples grows, plus if you need a hand we can post a comment here too. I don't think it is many posts you have to make before you can post pictures, wht not have a look at other peoples grows and post a comment. Also in the chill out lounge there are many nice thing you can comment on, you'll soon be posting pics in your journal in no time. I have also posted a link in your journal so people can follow your plants progress. Hope you silver kush recover and grow strong Peace and smokes Lams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dust 6,321 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 nice little setup for this 2 babies You only got them under the 600? they should like it And do you plan to mix the hps with the LED as well during flowering? you would benefit from it i think frm what we can see of our growers using both it really gives awesome results I hope the little slower girls will make it and catch on the sister Have a good grow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invited 2 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Huh! Finally SK started to grow roots. Maybe few days and i can transfer it to bigger rockwool cube. If everything goes well, maybe i can move them to the nft on next week. Let's see and hope best! I did not give any nutes to Ultra Sour, waiting for Kush to reach her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamsbread 1,380 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hey Kerbilli What light are you using for the seedlins? Is it the LED or a different light?When it comes to other people using LED's , you'll find I always like to ask questions. Which leads me to my next question lol, "what make is your LED and do you know the actual Watts drawn.No matter is you don't know, but do post a pic of it, just to satisfy my LED curiosity I will be sure to follow the progress of these young'uns.Have a good growPeaceLams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invited 2 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yep, i'm using led to seedlings. Ordered 3 leds from china, they said 75x3w, i knew this is bullshit actual power is 122w. Today i transferred SK to bigger rockwool and give both little nutes. Maybe soon i can put them to the nft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamsbread 1,380 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The LED lights will be using 3W diode run a aproximatley half power or lower.This is done so your light will have longevity, if run at full power the diodes would soon die..All LED lights run like this, the problem come when totall LED potential is stated instead of Power draw/used.These days most European & some chinese sellers/resellers will state acutal draw, The power used by the light in Watts , this will include the power used by the fans aswell.The light seems to be doing the job of keeping them short, This is one reason I like LED.I would still like to see a picture of your light, there aren't many I haven't seen.By seeing it and maybe putting a name to it, it allows me the see how various LED perform.peace brotherLams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invited 2 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Here is few photos of led. Thanks for being interested. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamsbread 1,380 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks Kerbilli It is always nice to see equipment that is being used for a grow.I am guessing it is Red/Blue spectrum 630nm,660nm & 425nm ?It is certainly helping with young seedlings keeping them short and not giving them a hot enviroment , which may cause stress under HID.PeaceLams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invited 2 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Huh!At least i get them to hydro. Hope they will start to grow normally now. Hps is 300w position and reflector adjusted to veg. Nutes are, micro 5ml, gro 5ml, bloom 5ml - 10l. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamsbread 1,380 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Time to watch them grow It will be nice to see them put on all thier finery. I am noticing there are alot of dead leves on the floor, it might be a good idea to clean them out before your young plants get bigger. Look forwards to next update.Peace & smokes Lams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invited 2 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 2weeks in hydro, and everything looks good to me. Silver Kush growing little faster than Ultra Sour Think i can raise ec almost to 1.0 soon, now it's about 0.6. I will hardly supercrop these two girl, and maybe build scrog. Have any ideas what i need/must to do different? Here is one photo of my Original Amnesia Auto, growing under led in dwc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust 6,321 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 yes for sure they are settled now in the system and getting a nice bost thanks for the news man, i think also they should handle the EC 1, just keep eyes open and watch daily what they are telling you Have a good grow man! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installed scrog few day ago, and hope i can get it almost full. There is nothing special now, they grow just i want them grow Usually i have some nute problems in the end of blooming, hope this time not.
