Snow Dream - Coco & LED Closet Grow #2

What's up RIU? Thanks for dropping in on my second LED grow! My first round was journaled here as well, Power Skunk Under LED, where I did 1 Kannabia Power Skunk and 2 Kannabia White Domina Autoflowers all from seed. Needless to say I was very happy with my results, top shelf quality bud and the hassle free benefits of growing with LED.

This time around I picked up two teenage clones from my dispensary. The strain is called Snow Dream, which is supposed to be Snow White crossed with Blue Dream. I've had them on 18/6 light schedule for the past 48 hours and plan on vegging them for a week or two since they were a good size already when I bought them.

The setup:
Lighting - 3w 180w extreme flower model from advancedledlights.com, and adding far red spectrum led spotlights when flowers start developing.
Nutrients - veg - Canna A + B, Rhizotonic, Cannazym, MagiCal
- flower - Canna A + B, Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Boost, Pk 13/14, MagiCal
Foliars - Magic Green appying every ~10 days until flowers develop
3 gallon Smart Pots
Small desk fan

I'm really excited to see if I can increase my yield this time around even though I'm doing one less plant. That's my goal at least to match the production from last time. I'll get some veg pics up later on today. Hope you all enjoy my grow, should be a good one!

Day One under the LED. This was two days ago. Got them, sprayed with sns17 for any pests they may have previously had before I got them, transplanted into the 3 gallon smart pots (1st time using them) with straight Canna Coco that I presoaked with the nutrients. Fed them and put the light on an 18/6 schedule.

One week under the led with my nutrient lineup in the smart pots and they've more than doubled in size. Sitting about 15 inches, thinking i'll veg a few more days til they're about 18 inches then flip to 12/12. They look great, too bad my camera stopped working a couple days ago... Might be a while for any new pics

Flipped them last night so they got they first night of 12/12. They're both about 20 inches in height, looking very healthy. Will update again soon, when flowers start appearing. Hope to have a new camera by then too.

White hairs all over them. Both are getting pretty big, going to be some beasts. Hitting up best buy today for a new camera so pics will come soon. Loving the smart pots, although it seems like my coco is drying up at a slightly faster rate than when I was just using plastic pots.

I'm soooo tempted to pick up another 180 to flower these girls with but I told myself and my lady I won't be buying another until after this round....but damn my imagination is driving me crazy wondering how much more yield I could potentially harvest with another...aaaahhhh!!! What to do, what to do?

Quick photo update. They've stretched a little longer than I would've liked, but oh well, there were things I could've done differently to change that; but since this is what I have I'm hoping to see the difference between the buds under my led when a plant is more stretched out vs. how it was in my last grow when there was much more foliage and under branches.

A little over 2 weeks under 12/12 and flowers have taken off. It took only a couple days to shoot out white hairs and by two weeks flowers started forming. I'll get some pics up later tonight when I'm watering. Smooth sailing so far!

OK so question for the LED club. I have 2 blackstar I bought to grow during the summer. I have 3 Jilly Bean and 3 Blue Cheese under each light. I am about 40 days into flower. 2 BC are maturing well. Buds are full and looking as good as I could expect. The light penetration is real low which I expected, so any undergrowth is dead and the yield will be low as expected.
However, 1 BC and all three JB show know sign of maturing. None! They have grown taller than the other 2. As a matter of fact the JB are getting way to big considering the light distribution. It doesn't make sense. There are no light leaks. I have no idea. So LED users what do you think.
 
I normally grow my plants outside, but since i'm moving in an apartment i'm going to start growing them inside.
so i'm fairly new at this, could someone give me a price range for lighting.. ect for indoor growing? thanks.

Yeah, it's a nice strain to grow. My first time growing it, never smoked it, in fact I hadn't even heardof it before. But the guy at the dispensary knows his clones and recommended it to me saying how beautiful they become. Should be some frosty nugs when done.

I've got nothing for you bro, sorry...no clue why after 40 days of 12/12 and no flowering on the jb and 1 bc? Might have a nutrient lockout of some sort? Not sure if this would work or not, but maybe try putting those ones in the dark for 24 - 48 hours to see if you can force them to do something.
