[420BongRips'] 220W+ LED/CFL Closet Grow w/Mylar

I've received the 1000 watt LED light a few days ago. I have been busy and forgot to update this journal progress. I can't show pictures at the moment since it's dead but the room is nice n bright and the buds are coming along nicely. I lollipopped my plants 3 days ago (I don't recommend lollipopping at this stage into flowering unless you know what you are doing) and the energy transfer is already taking off beautifully into the top colas with very little stress and stunt.

These pictures were taken a couple days ago. The room is lit up and ready to make some plants put in some work!

Pulled the large sativa autoflower out of there because it was seeding way too much and is way too high of a risk. Other plants are starting to seed a little as well and I am seeing possible hermie signs from this one so I am pulling it at 5 weeks in. :/ It had about 5 to 6 more to go. Oh well, you win some you lose some. I still have a few more beauties going and on the bright side, I am going to be making some nice edibles with what I can butcher off of this seedy little thing... I'll dry a little out to test out the smoke as well. I'll provide pictures once my phone charges up.

Found the little banana sacks! I am so glad I trusted my gut instinct! Hahahaha. And better yet, now I have plenty of FEMINIZED seeds! On multiple different strains! Lmfao. Cross breeding next season is in mind I am trimming up the Hermie as I speak. This is what I have done to it so far. Pile of stalks. Pile of hash makings. Pile of smokable buds.

Ohh and here are some updated pictures I took yesterday of my ladies that I forgot to upload. They're shining bright! Shots fired!!

Starting the flushing process later within the next 8 hours. I'll have coverage and pics on it. They are getting big n ripe! They are swelling up and making the whole house smell wonderful

Grow room progress @ week 7!
Flushing is about to begin ladies and gentlemen!

12 days remaining!

Took off all of the plastic bulbs off to give more directional light to the plants

My KillaWatt meter comes in the mail today! Time to see how much wattage and energy my room really puts out for you folks that are curious.

Check out my newest videos on the true wattage measurements. The video is unedited so please excuse the annoying length of time and the fact that the medicine was really working it's effects lol, just fast forwards through some parts if you wish.

6 days left until I pull these treasures. I'm pretty stoked and am very much looking forward to next Wednesday!

5 days until harvest!

glad to see your getting a real light (even tho it is a cheap chinese one. ) If you really want to get some solid returns you need to do away with all those organic nutes and just use a simple mix like pro-mix or ocean forest. and then use the fox farm line i seen in the pic. I see tons of stress and and nute lockout on your babies and possibly even heat stress/. Run that led at about 20 inches for at least a week when you hook it up as it will burn and damage the leaves as they aren't use to a very focused light source. And would also do a massive flush with water ph'd at 6.8 and just let them be for a while.Hope your not offended as it wasn't my intention just trying to help ya out a little.

Appreciate the feedback although these aren't nutrient lockout'ed. They are starving of nutrients because I was already starting the flush in that video you watched. Everything is looking great and healthy (healthy as in everything is going as planned and buds look nice) and the plant is almost at it's end. I've been flushing for over a week now, almost two. Now for the yield you say, ditch organics and use foxfarms or promix? foxfarms is organics and I think promix may be too but not sure, but you can still get a huge yield from organics, I was using peat moss, an organic soil mix, perlite and vermiculite and using the fox farms bottled nutrients, that's it. The lights are definetly close but being that it's near the end I am putting them as close as I can plus a little closer stressing them out a bit but I'm alright with that.

I made this video 2 days ago. 3rd and final flush. Harvesting Friday, going to take closeup pics now.

Today's porn!
3 days to go on the rodeo!

I should have explained better ,by ditch the organics i meant all the mixes you have like blood meal bone meal ,lime any of that kind of stuff that needs to be mixed in specific proportions and then needs to cook for a while. the pro mix is just a peat based mix that is basically nutrient free . ocean forest is hot for young plants but if used in the right sized pots will be more than enough to do the job.

I use blood meal in the mix during the veg cycle, if you mix it in it should last for a while until at least flowering but I don't use anything N based during flowering. The lime was for the pH problems that I was experiencing, I flushed and transplanted to their final pots putting lime into the soil mix. Bone meal is a great feeder of phosphorus throughout the flowering cycle which is great so you don't have to use as much of your line of nutrients as you usually would. I love Ocean Forest. They are my #1 pick if I have the money, but if I'm going frugal, I'll take promix or Scott's peat moss soil mix.

Hopefully your smoke detectors are functional. All it takes is one insulation crack in that mess of extension cords and lamps for some serious regret. Be safe.

Yes next time I'll use better planning skills and do some calculating. I don't want to start a fire or attract any unwanted attention.
