growing 4 strains(Lsd,Ice,Nycd and Bubba kush) with led + cfl

Hi fellow farmers, i am starting my 2 grow with the mentioned strains.My first grow was not so bad, but had too many strains and one plant hermied on me later on. so the quality was not so good and i had to take them down about 2 weeks early and the quality suffered much. But i still get a good head high. I have been curing this bacth for the last 2 and a half months.

My new setup is the same, 0.8x0.8x1.6m secret garden. I will be using 2 led panels, A) 180 3w B) 120w C) cfl 125( i have aonther 125 just in case I need it). I have a ventilator and a fan on the side to keep the ladys cool and fresh. Unfortunatly the room were the homebox is is not ventilated so in summer temps go to the 33c celcius with lights on. thats what i get with my hps in winter lol. So i hope the summer wont be very long.

I will try to post regularly with pics and everthing as soon as i start in about 3 weeks when i get the last piece of the puzzle(120w led ) which i will be using in the begginig alone to help save costs. Then in flower i will add the 180w + the 125 cfl bloom which should gime me a total of 425 watts. I hope i can get some good tips from some experienced growers and any advise is welcome. Pls dont harass me about the leds, thats what i want, i need. I have a 400 watts hps, but the heat is just unberable and i aint going that road again, i hope never!!!

Hi everyone, sorry no pics yet, maybe tonite. I put all my seeds in glass with water. 4 Nycd, 4 BK, 3 ice and 4 lsd. Tonight i will be putting them in wet toilet paper for a day and then into coco jiffys. I wanted to put them directly into the jiffys but as i will be moving out of town for 2 weeks and i am taking my ladies with me, i will put them in the jiffys tomorrow night to avoid problems on my way. My tent will be packed with many plants, but i heard its always best to sow more seeds than what you want so i have a good insurab«nce in case problems do occur and i have to ditch 1,2 or 3 plants.

Welcome to the forum vinlyjunky!
I too am growing the LSD strain under CFL for about 4-5 weeks before moving outside. Check out and subscribe to my thread to see what to expect and hopefully learn from my mistakes if i make any.

I will be following this thread to see what the ICE turns out as i will be meaking a similar set up for the winter soon!

Peace!

High everyone, sorry for not updating regularly. Well so far everything went well. i germinated 15 seeds, they all sprout, but 1 died at an early age. I am doing a kind of sog style with 16 plants. 4 Nycd, 4 BuBB Kuah, 3 Lsd, 3 ice, 1 shiva skunk and 1 white widow. the SSK and WW were clones. Today is day 34 of flowering and day 31 for the SSK and WW. I a using 425watts 300 LED and 125 cfl. 1 180 watts 3 watt led and 1 120 led. So far so good, i have had almost no problems apart form underwatering. i am still learning with this leds.

The leds are great. the photos are mistaken. the first is shouldbe the second. the second is around week 3 of flowering. The Lsds are not doing so well, they are lagging big time. I am not sure if that is normal?

Here are some more pics of day 34 flower. tell me what you think any advise os welcome.

I am ussing plagrom green sensations and canna flores, co2 tabs aswell. these are 6l pots. the shortest plant is 30 cm NYCD and the tallest so far is the WW with 50 cm. I hope they all get betwenn 40 and 60 cm at the end.
