I didn't log this grow as I went as it had a few "immediate relocation required" moments due to various reasons. I've got pics through the whole thing but I've gotta go through and organize so for now.... This is the best I can do guys. This is my first led grow, been growing with HPS/MH for twenty years. It's definitely different but it's still all the same, listen to the plants, they'll tell ya what they want.
Strains: Purple Berry Kush, Pineapple Chunk, Gold Leaf, Hubba Bubba Auto, Dark Devil Auto, Grandaddy Purp.
I still had a little bit of GDP pollen remaining so all were selectively pollinated and I will be trying a few here and there as time goes.
All were FIMed(yes, even the autos cause well......I don't give a fuck and I'm gonna experiment) and all but the autos were super cropped because I had to keep the height low.
Lighting:
Vegged under 400w MH.
Flowering under a custom Gen 2 EB Strip build consisting of (
280mm 3500k strips and (3) 560mm 5000k strips powered by a Mean Well RSP-320-24
Soil/Nutes etc: Mixed my own soil with peat moss, worm castings, kelp extract, lime, and a fuckton of perlite. PHed water the whole way. CalMag. Started giving em White Shark from the very beginning to try to beef up the roots. FF Grow Big all the way(lighter doses once in flowering) and added in Big Bloom once flipped. Oh, and most of them were worked up to 5gal buckets but there a few 3gals(Hubba Auto, Pineapple Chunk and a mistreated GDP that I rescued). Please keep in mind that the space I SHOULD HAVE been growing in was plenty tall so that's why I was using such large pots. Last minute emergencies crammed me in a short attic and had to flip way earlier than I wanted so the 5gal went to waste and that's where all the HST came in and the screen was added like a week ago just for support and guidance. The next run, which is Purple Berry Kush again and Grape Popinski will come out MUCH better.

PBK front and center and Dark Devil beside
Grandaddy Purp (Not the abused orphan)
I'm interested to see the finished product of both phenos that I have as they are both quite different from my past experiences and I'm also using an 11on/13off lighting cycle so there will be differences in phenotypic expression anyway.
Bastard Purp (the rescued GDP)
Tons of seeds on this one because I figured fuck it, if my rescue isn't successful, then she'll at least make a big ball of seed so she was just loosely pollinated rather than selectively.
Dark Devil
Ironically, she's the one that touts the reputation of being one of the the most thoroughly colored strains available but she has the least color in my grow. She's starting to turn now so it's not gonna be long!
She's so fuckin sticky and just reeks of purple, fruity spicy dank! It's an older low quality pic so.... My apologies.
Pineapple Chunk, I just had to replace a busted phone and this seems to be the only pic that I have until i crack into my old phone. Pics of the Hubba Bubba will have to wait til then as well.
I know it ain't much but.... Hope you guys enjoy.
