The New Majestic12 LED

[nfhiggs]

If you want to see something pitiful, this is the first Dutch bucket I ran with a finicky, lanky, Jack Herer at about 7 weeks into flower :




I think I went almost 11 weeks with that one. I had to add some additional lights because she was developing so slow.

As you can see below, my technique has greatly improved along with the lighting:

For week 6 of 12/12 they look rather "underdeveloped" too and not very "majestic".

How did you get such balanced symmetry with that many tops? Any tips or tricks to your training and how long did that veg for? Thanks

Are you recirculating the run-off?

Oh I see the manifold now...nice work

I really worked on her in veg - for 67 days. Topped 5 times and tied the branches down. Careful supercropping when I put her into flower. And a lollipop about 3 weeks into flower to remove all the lower stuff. She really was a lot of work.

OTOH, the plant that flowered just before that one was in veg for 25 days, no topping, no training in veg, supercropped when she was flipped, then a lollipop at three weeks and yielded about same. Only real difference I saw with the manifold plant was more uniform bud size.

Are you recirculating the run-off?

Yup. I flush it if PPM gets too high or things seem out of sorts.

What was your yield and do you think it's worth it vs the overall veg time?

Hey , that mainline plant looked good , but was the foil shield for gnats ? Or some other reason . No jokes , just curious.

Just to keep light out and reduce algae on the top. It got a ton of gnats but they did not seem to bother the plant much.

I got about 9 ounces with it. About the same as the previous plant - main difference was more uniform bud size.

Not really sure if it was worth the extra time but it sure made for pretty pictures.

I like it. Quick question, what ppm is considered too high? Half way through flower, and it was over 2000.

 

[nfhiggs]

I never felt the need to let it get that high. I kept it at 600 in veg and 900 in flower.

But my cheapo PPM meter has gone a bit hinky, reading low, so I have to just guess now.

 

[1212ham]

I made the mistake of relying solely ppm...

I did some reading.....
I thought Dutch was the same as Hempy (Drain to Waste), but it seems Dutch is either Drain to Waist or Ebb and Flow/recirculating.

Ok thank God. I knew it had to be some form of typo. I was feeling crazy bad for him.

My apologies I should have clarified it but I mean week 6 total. Id say week 1 flower to clarify. Lol but if ya been following as u have been youd know for sure that isnt week 6 flower. Your response though lol was super laughable. A good one for sure.

Your hard to follow. And I have no concept of time. I'm just here for the luls

Ending off Week 1 in flower. To clarify, it's been 7 total weeks that these clones have been rooted and placed under these lights. The Autoflower is flowering, and is fairly small but I made the mistake of transplanting it when it should have stayed in a 5 or 10 gallon bucket from the beginning. Anyhow still kicking on growth focusing on bud sites now as opposed to Vertical growth. The room is starting to smell. I appreciate all your response feedback in insight. Maybe this next one I can do a side-by-side hlg and this mj-12 LED grow that would be interesting to see then we can settle up the Dust LOL. Also any of you led guru's at their familiar with the timber LED brand? Any good?

Dan does good quality work and uses the good quality, high efficiency COBs. You can't go wrong with any of his stuff.

Timber has also started selling very affordable "quantum board" style boards with Samsung's LM301B LEDs. Was thinking of getting some more HLG lights, but think I'm going with Timber instead.

they are using the original quantum boards from HLG:

They're still not completely identical, they list different wattages and prices? Also the Timber kits are pre-assembled.
