All LED Indoor Grow- Quantum Boards vs AutoCob's

[Evil-Mobo]

Vegging girls coming back in:



And another shot of the girls under the QB light. I think today or tomorrow I am going to gently lift the net up to rotate the plants so they fill in better on the net......................



Still waiting on the Purple Envy seed to pop dirt, and the GG#4 clones are not dead so I am happy.

The outside veggies are on beast mode. More pics later or the next day have to sneak in and out of the garden again more visitors here currently..........

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Well I got some alone time for the garden today and it was much needed.

I really do not know where to start with this update. Hope you guys like pics

I want to start by recognizing my two best employees that watch over my flower tents.........

In the QB tent we have "weedy" the gnome holding it down:


In the AutoCob tent we have "lil vader" holding it down:



So I went to my garden today and the Chemdogging Auto was ready to come down. She could have gone another day or so but I needed the space and trichs were where I liked them:

 

[Evil-Mobo]

So I took the narcotic kush auto out as well as the GG#4 clones and the purple envy seedling and the ghost pepper and it was time to clean down the tent, I like my spaces as tidy as can be just because you use soil doesn't mean the grow has to be nasty, and I use worms too:



And then it was time to put the (2) Sweet Black Angel girls from veg in their new home. I will leave the lights on 24/0 for them until Sunday or so and then flip to 12/12 and throw the net over them:

I've never grown an auto, or maybe it's just the strain. But do they always keep pushing pistils like that? I normally go until it's done but I've heard of some strains that will keep throwing out new pistils indefinitely.

Looks great btw!

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Then it was time to put the tenants from the AutoCob tent into the veg closet:



Then everyone needed to be watered and fed the bigger girls are really starting to drink as is the Narcotic Kush Auto which will finish life under the 6500K lights in the closet I am anticipating even more frost on this beautiful girl:



And let's not forget the Satori Male waiting for this run to end so he can get it on with a few special ladies:



Ok I am done won't be back in the Garden until Sunday and just to peek in on things. Thanks for checking in!

That's what kept throwing me off and I had not had an auto do it this bad before, but the trichs were cloudy with a bit of amber and clear so close enough for me, I would not be able to chop until Monday so it came down today, personal smoke so not stressing if I pulled her a day or two early. She had stopped swelling too. But the buds are rock solid like pebbles glued together lol.

Thanks for the kind words

Wow, this thread got long fast. Just found it last night. Catching up on the reading.
Awesome stuff Evil. Looking good so far. Only starting pg 2 so hopefully you've had no issues since then.
Looking forward to the show.
You've come along way over the last year bro., can't wait to see how this goes w/ the SBA.
Really liked it myself.
I'm here. Thanks for sharing homie!

I was going to tag you bro but I know you've been swamped so didn't want to bother you. Thanks for the kind words brother it means a lot. Been a lot of trial and error and reading and reading and learning and growing. And I'm fighting two fronts here LED and Auto's lol.......

Hope you enjoy the show. The SBA now is the real test for both lights. The person who gifted me this cut has plenty of data growing it under HPS/Blue MH so we have a "friendly" behind the scenes bet going. I need to surpass 1 gpw dry with the two tents to win

Last month was a year I been growing and I have learned A LOT thanks to guys like you. So just trying to give back brother. Plus I like sharing and screwing up because that's how I have learned. People need to see logs and see what really happens, grows are rarely perfect there's always something LOL...........it ain't all here look at my grow and four weeks later "hey I hit 3 gpw with my harvest" lol getting 1 gpw dry with HPS is hard enough, so let's see what happens with a 1/3 of the watts. No more excuses, time to put up or shut up, the lights have done their part with the plants I have grown so far to build the head stash and test. Now we get to the nitty gritty and to me right now aside from Amare's stuff and the new stuff coming from chilled the buzz is around QB's and these Single COB's..........quality is there, never seen such frost and smells and colors, and now we will see what the yield is soon. Just need to not kill plants and not mess up the SCROG it's my first time doing that lol.........

Glad to have you here

Just honored to be able to do this, very humbling experience

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Got to sneak into the garden real quick while everyone is asleep no pics but went to check on the clones in the cloner. The one's starting to yellow on the fan leaves are rooting already I think tomorrow was a week they have been in there so pretty much right on schedule..........it's my first run with this setup so I was nervous about it........

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Grow news- The Purple Envy seed popped the dirt we have lift off she looks nice and pretty no deformity etc. Clones are rooting still more of them now. Gave them a res change today and upped the ionic grow feed (I fed VERY weak the first time) as quite a few of the cuts are yellow. Want them nice and strong and healthy. They got new water, ful-power, ionic grow, and Epsom Salt, PH to 6.0 and water temps in the high 60's going in which should leave it right in the mid 70's after the pump has been back on.

Gonna need to order a setup to dry my buds and take away smell and get a filter and fan in the 2x4 closet too.

Cheers and happy Saturday!

Here's a few quick snaps of my 32" x 32" early flower tent - 6 days in.
3 plants, 2 x LA's cons and a Strawberry Banana, front left of pics
1 x QB at 150 watts and 1 active heatsinked cxb 3590 at 50 watts + 1x passive heatsinked cxb 3590 at 50 watts.
Single cobs are great for dropping in were needed.

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Having issues with outgoing mail so let's try the cell phone for an update lol.

Pic of the two girls under the QB and the net.



Here's a couple shots of the narcotic Kush she seems to be finishing fast but I'm hoping there is still some more swell left in her





Pic of the NK and the two SBA girls together. The SBA will have to wait until the NK finishes until they flip which doesn't bother me any they're still too small for my taste especially to fill a scrog



Here's a shot of the veg closet and the Satori male I have in there that has just bounced back beautifully after the topping and defoliation I gave him





And look who we have here, our new comer the Purple Envy I'm excited about this girl .......



That's it for now happy growing

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Well today I ordered some #3 nursery pots, some Tupur, and I will be trying a run in coco again after the current SBA girls finish. I'm not sold on the SIP's this round for some reason, seeing things in a few of the plants I do not like and when I'm not happy with the garden it makes me not happy in general...........

You should try rols "micro beds"....... works for me. Do a little veg time if you want and be prepared to smile again evil; )

No mobility is a con but your used to it with sips, or add wheels... lol

I've been in touch with grass roots about their raised beds with integrated trellis support we will see. My current sips are actually very mobile which is what I like about the 5 gallon setups but we shall see.

@Tim Fox might be onto something in saying these gals might have blown through what was available in the soil with the veg time they have had.......I might end up feeding my.ionic lineup to them the rest of the way and see if it helps. Plants are not bad and to most wouldn't be an issue but I am not happy because I know what my plants do when 100 and right now something is off ..........the male has bounced back great since the topping and strip down but the big girls are taking forever to recover and not beasting back like they should be. Male is in a #3 pot in soil and getting my.organic feeds big girls are in the sips...............

 

[captainmorgan]

Clone fairy came by today I FINALLY have GG#4 cuts I know to many it's an over rated strain

I've had GG#4 for over 3 years and if you have real ones it's not over rated. There are many fakes and S1's out there that don't hold a candle to the real deal.

Fingers crossed captain it's wonders on my nerve pain and a big part of my upcoming breeding project.

My bad, didn't know you used dollies.

With micro beds it,s at least ten gallon per lady. What I've learned it really makes ROLS stupid proof with that buffer, rarely defs and great production imo. Use a root pruning container , my usual 3 fem max a 30gal out at day 50.

Edit....... phone

 

[captainmorgan]

GG#4 is a light feeder 1.1 - 1.2 EC, doesn't like over feeding or heavy boosters in flower and doesn't like being root bound. Crazy vegger and needs a lot of support in flower, I usually double screen scrog her and she will stretch for about 3 weeks.

No dollies bro just the arms and legs mother nature gave me lol. I will look into these micro beds and see.............I'm never against anything that helps.........appreciate the input I was in your thread the other day looks like the girls you have are finishing up nicely
