Instead of tying them down you can also super crop, works very well. Don't go over board and break the branch, a gentle pinch and bend it proper spots. Everyone has their own method of madness. Beauty pics above

yeah this heat wave sucks.
I built a cold room that I intake from. this grow is in an attic, well over 120f outside my room. I have sealed the room and its staying 70-90 pretty steady.
I added co2 to help with the heat.
other then that its been going real good this first LED grow project of mine.
thanks for all the comments.
just started starbud flush, should have good fall color pics soon.

thanks bro. I really do appreciate all the kind words
. I will have harvest/trim pics also cured. I did my fair research on LEDS and this reflector sure kicked ass for the price of 300$.I would like to get a 1/4 pound or better to pay for its self this run.
not that i'm selling it. its for me!I will be getting one more LED light I think for my mango tango and blueberry headband.
should be doing 2 scrogs in my space. just costs alot to get started.
thanks man. i've been watching my buddys and other growers on RIU and YT for a long time. just followed my own feeding cycle. this is my first grow per say, but i do help my buddys alot with dwc scrogs.I am very impressed, you definitely know what you are doing. I hope you continue to share with us your grows.
they are drooling over my plants, lol beginners luck
and lucky genetics from my seeds order.

Great job man! Can you give us a little info on what you are using for nutes? I like how the buds are filling out nicely!

thanks man, yes i will post my nutes/feeding.
i use general hydroponics flora series,cal magic and grandmas unsulfered molasses " decided not to use sweeteners like AN budcandy after doing more research so i gave them away".
i use organic soil 2/3,coco coir 1/3 and 6 cups perlite
first 30 days is just fresh water. after that i started low on nutes like 500ppm wich is the 3G/2M/1B Veg grow nutes watered down and 1tsp of cal mag. i used 1 gal per feeding/watering half gal per plant.
I would do a feeding then fresh water alternating every 2 to 3 days. i dont think i went above 750ppm during veg cycle.
switching to flower i used 2B/2M/2G transtion nutes about 800ppm for 3 weeks
also between feeding i fed them 1tsp Molasses and 1tsp cal mag in fresh water.
friday i feed nutes
sunday molasses/cal mag water
tuesday i feed nutes
thursday just fresh water
after three weeks i switch to 3B/2M/1G flower nutes about 1k-1.2k ppm
friday i feed nutes
sunday molasses/cal mag water
tuesday i feed nutes
thursday just fresh water
I only use molasses from week 1-6 in flower.
then its just feeding nutes/calmag till finish. I like a 9 day flush. also B/M/G stands for Bloom,Micro and Grow
hope this helps other people.

Thanks for the info! Very in depth! I recently bought a lot of AN products and have been reading more and more that they work but are way over priced. You gave bud candy away? What did you read that was bad? I'm thinking once all these nutes are finished, going with the whole General Organics Bio lineup. WAY cheaper and I've read that it's just as good as as any AN product. I was thinking of doing a soil-less coco coir/ perlite mix with my next Mars II project.

It's amazing to me how many different ways there are to go about this. I've had to adapt to my circumstances -- since I had bug issues I have to water thoroughly and then let them dry out, so I only water every 5 days. It is less than optimal and they are not living up to their full potential, but they are also not looking stressed. So we do what we have to do. It does make it tough with nutes though, because it means if I use fresh water every other time, then they only get nutes every 10 days. I won't be getting the proverbial pound any time soon, but I do OK.
And as a side note, one beautiful thing about Grow Journals (as opposed to regular threads in the forum) is that you can share what you're doing that works, and no one is jumping on to rag on your lights and tell you what you should be using. It's kind of a breath of fresh air to just see the results and get some support, without all the negative comments and opinions. Rock on.

well i read alot of people saying AN budcandy had a burnt plastic taste. after my quart jars of GH Flora are gone. i am going to try Blue Planet Nutrients. the three part organic farmers pride gallon jugs are 60$ for all three. so ya that's my next move i think.

Burnt plastic? That's crazy but funny lol.
I'll be jumping ship on AN because of high prices. The more reasons, the better.

thanks, It is a Mars Hydro Reflector Series 600w 192x3. i think it worked well for my grow. there is better lights out now, like the mars2. for a 2foot by 4 foot space i would get the 144x3 450w or some type of mars2. nice thing about 144x3 is its made for 2x5ish flower space
Thx for the reply. So the Mars 2 is a newer model then the reflector serious? How was your yield with the LED ?
