Hey all,
First time grower (and that is for anything, prior to this id always thought id had black thumbs lol)
But I've done a heap of reading on this and other websites for help and tips and instructions so I just first want to say a big thanks to the growing community, all of you out there are awesome thanks heaps for all the time and effort everyone puts into helping each other, keep it up!
Anyways im roughly four weeks into flower now and my plants have never looked healthier imho...
I had a bit of a rough vegging period and at times ended up with different issues from nutes burn, to root rot on a couple of plants, had one die from overwatering and had various deficiencies and issues throughout the vegging period.
I also ended up with too red of a light spectrum from the three so called '300w full spectrum' lights i bought off ebay (actual draw about 145w each) that turned out after I questioned the seller afterwards to not be so full spectrum.. tbh i dont think the seller knew wtf they were as he first said they had no blue only red then after further correspondence (i sent him pictures of the lights while they were on which clearly show red, Blue, white, green, and a couple of dimmer ones i figured could be infrared) with the seller they said there wasn't green but red some and blue but no uv.. i reckon just in looking at lights that they have about 6 different colours but they are defs heavy on the red.
Lol in the end i was like to the seller look at the photos ffs they clearly have green leds in them, ya dont know what you're selling and after that after I pretty much gave up trying to get the exact specturm details on the lights and the brand of 3w led they used off the seller..
But anyway i digress, I added a fourth light vertically that had more blues in it mid way through the veg and that seemed to sort out a few of my issues with leaf colour and general plant health.
One other thing I'll mention as i do have a little nute burn on the earlier growth from back early in veg is i was only using a general purpose store bought organic based fish emulsion fert and a seaweed/kelp based health treatment that supposed to be high qaulity and all but isn't made for cannabis.. i dont think my girls loved them but they made do.
In flower though ive now switched to cyco bloom a & b and just want to clarify it is NOT the cyco flower a,b,c which is the pgr version... The plants have responded brilliantly to the cyco nutes and to the flowering light cycle as i think they like the redness of the lights..
I'm going to attach some pics and id love a little feedback on how everyone thinks im going?! Some have lights on some off cos i get a pretty purple glow especially in photos so i figured some of each might help..
Cheers all in advance for any feedback
