Slinger's 60 Day Lemon/Wonder LED Grow

Well guys I have a journal going over in the LED section of this forum but I thought I would help contribute to the Auto-Flower community. Currently we are at 32 days of 20/4 Light under a 300 watt Quad Band Pro-series LED Panel. Pre-flowers showed up on the 60 Day Lemon 27 days since it popped out of the dirt, the 60 Day Wonder has not shown pre-flowers yet. They have only been fed nutes 2x, a 600 PPM solution of GH Maxi-Grow, and the second was a 900 PPM solution of GH Maxi-Grow, Cal-Mag Plus and Snow Storm Ultra which happened today. Here are some photos of the girls from the past 3 days, I will try to update regularly. Here are some extra spec's as well

Grow Tent 4x4x7
440 CFM Inline Fan
Container Size: 5 Gallon
Soil: FF Light Warrior, FF Ocean Forest, Perlite and added powdered Dolomite Lime.
Light: 300 watt LED
Light Schedule 20/4

Any additional questions feel free to ask!

It depends on which camera I am using if there is a lot of purple/red or not. Don't know how to filter out the color post photo. These are with my DSLR and they are beautifully detailed even in the LED light

how long ya been growing bud?

Started back in 2006 with CFL's and a couple 150 HPS, been going at it ever since then. Having fun testing out new lighting and combos of light, been getting decent results from LED but the penetration factor is a problem. First time on auto's, been treating them how I normally treat a photo plant as far as lst and other factors are concerned, the only difference is nutrient schedule and the obvious light schedule. They are making a nice addition to my veg cycle, nice to watch the flowering as my regular plants do their thing. I just wish I would have planted more of them but I'm on a time schedule.

Cool good deal bro, looks like ya got the hang of it

ya its hard to get light to the lowers with led

this is what i came up with lol View attachment 2672120 135 w bloom 3 w diodes on top 7 band 135w 3w's on the side this panel works great but the ir or uv emitter burns the leaves when they get to close and 2 68 w 2700k cfl's to make me feel better lol

forgot to add those are some pretty plants bud

I can bring my panels down 6 in above the canopy, I dont think mine have IR/UV, I get light bleaching on the very tips of the buds during flowering but I have not had any "burn". These are just 2 of the plants in the tent, got some photo cannabis going on as well. Will be adding some 50w warm white spotlights to the grow area, those cfl's will help balance out your spectrum, cannabis cant help but love white light, seems to produce more trich's in my opinion. Hope I can get the spotlights in before these girls are done.

have a good site for high watt cfl's http://www.lightbulbemporium.com/spiral_cfls.asp even the 150w is about 50 with shipping

heard good things about these ones will probably get these for replacements
one down side is heat but i have a 6'' filter/fan in a 3x4x5 foot box i should be fine
with 4-6 of these on temps

6 would be 32000 lumens plus the 2 135w led panels i think this would work nicely

Thanks man but I'm trying to stay away from CFL's, buds come out too fluffy, only veg with CFL's for me, I have done full grows with them but like I said, they make the buds extra fluffy in my experience. Just order 4 x 50w Warm White Floodlights for 125$. Should help since I can place them wherever I want to hit the areas that don't get as much light.

As far as my Auto's are concerned, the 60 Day Wonder keeps stretching and putting out more leaves while the 60 Day Lemon is past the stretch phase and building buds now. So confusing, both are "60 Day" strains yet they are both in totally different phases of flowering 36 days in. The Lemon I can see finishing in 60-65 Days total but the Wonder I am thinking will be somewhere around 80 Days unless it goes crazy one day and catches up. The Wonder is definitely gonna produce more nugs from the size of it so I can complain too much, I just need to switch the Photo plants light cycle by the last week of June.

supposedly if you start veg nutes at show of preflower they really are a 60 day strain i have a himalaya blue diesel that i think is the monster pheno . i have grown out many of these and usually i can pull a oz or close to 2 in 10 weeks
this one is week 11 and looks like it needs another month of flower but its freaking huge it veg'd for 8 weeks atleast

ya the leds really do help tighten them up from what ive seen

The 60 day wonder is almost the same size as one of my previous photo plants that I pulled 138g dry from so hopefully I can pull the same off this plant or at least 100g dry, I'm hopeful

50w LED Flood Lights coming soon! Both plants will receive a nutrient watering tomorrow, despite the fact that they got one last time as well, seen no signs of nutrient burn and I want to get as much into them as possible before I have to flush!
