Remember Doc, he's got one grow under his belt so well what can I say lol.
Right. What can you say? I nearly have 2, this second one being two strains, without one issue. I study everyone else's issues every day and have since I started on here. Doctors go to med school to learn to be a doctor. I'm studying and I'm working hands on. Therefore, my experience is not invalid. You're just a little bitch because I won't bend over for you. It's not like I can't admit when I'm wrong, but I'm not wrong. So you can fuck yourself for all I care, Bud.

Oh, by the way, here's my grow now at the end of week 6. Pretty sure they are JUST starting to swell. And I totally attribute my trich production to my blackstrap molasses inclusion. So, fuck you both.

good job! but however, they are a bit behind, or a long flowering type. that's just over a week four look, but it does look good!

go easy with the molasses. twice a grow is plenty in my experience, and i don't go there anymore. too much hassle, and attracts pests, not worth the effort imo.

on second glimpse, your one with single bladed leaves is stressed. that's why you get single bladed leaves, and the twist. still looks good though, keep pushing them! i would...

I get a small amount of pests for a week and then I eradicate them for a few. It's just par for the course with organics, in my opinion. And, I'm not saying they aren't small, but they're pretty big for two plants under a 450w driven at 206w. They'll swell more anyway. I should have my second 450w this weekend to increase total wattage to 900w. 2-3 more weeks for both are left.

Yeah, the stress was from overwatering earlier on, but the single bladed sugar leaves are totally normal. It's the twist that's the problem.

They're like, 3 feet tall each! And nearly completely spaced up with buds, and it's only just starting to swell, As far as I'm concerned, I'm really happy with them. And it's proven to me ViparSpectra is a viable economy grade light.

single blades are an indicator as well. in a healthy system, they only show when the plant reveg's. it's not horrible, and your end result should be fine, but the single non-serrated leaves are an indication of a problem (ph or lockout, or both).

i wouldn't lie to you odg, i like you. just trying to be friendly and helpful.

Oh, I hear you. I totally appreciate and respect your advice. I'm just saying. The pH is at 6.5-7. Lockout, probably not. I'm pretty positive it was overwatered and maybe I went a little overboard with the molasses, but it hasn't stopped growing or slowed down so far. I see new growth every day.

have you thought about running a 1kw hps?

overwater+molasses can cause that. good call.

and good job so far!

I don't really need that kind of power, nor that kind of electric bill. My landlord would ask questions. Besides, I'm just growing for myself. It'll yield enough for me, grow to grow. Probably well more than enough.
believe it or not, it won't run your bill up as much as you'd expect. Our first bill running the 1K HPS (without air conditioning) was averaging $90 a month.

Check this post out, it's pretty close and of course, you have to factor in your own price per kwh.

if you're going to run 900w, why not go full throttle?

also, it's only around 20$ a month to run a 1kw and can fan. not as intrusive as most people think.

my guitar amplifiers run more, and with a bigger spike. my bill has never been above 250$ with outside temps at 100f and ac running constantly, with the grow in the spare bedroom.

an xbox uses more power than a 1kw hps ;)

900w of LED uses 412 watts of electricity, though. I honestly just like LEDs. Not saying they're superior to HID, not saying vice versa, but it suits what I need them for.

one day i'd like to try them. for now i'm sticking with what i know and have relied on for the last couple of decades. i'm really hoping led is the true future, but i can't afford to test it right now.
