Upgraded Spider Farmer SE-5000 grow

This will be a grow journal specifically dedicated to the upgraded spider farmer SE-5000. I have 6 wedding cake regular seeds started and I’ll update as they progress. Planning on doing a scrog this go around with the new light over 3 or 4 plants depending on how the plants come out. I’ll be growing in coco using mega crop for nutrients. I still have to decide on final pot size so any input is welcome.

Finishing these off with the SE5000 I won...

I think that you will like that light, I know that the plants will!!!

I won this light as well lol

Quick update on the wedding cake plants and upgraded spiderfarmer SE-5000. I started to feed them at .3 ec of mega crop. I also added 3ml of cal mag as it looks like a few were struggling with brown spots on the leaves. I’ll be bumping the mega crop up some for the next gallon I mix up, first time using it so I’ll take it slow. I used a gram of the mega crop to get .3 ec for the first gallon. I have the light at 18 inches and at about 60%.

Plants are looking good just raised and re-leveled the light which is super easy to do with this light. Loving it

Wedding cake plants are now 15 days old and cruising right along. Roots are already coming out the drain holes of the cups but I’ll wait another week and then transplant. 4 will be going in 3 gallon nursery pots and 2 will be going in 5 gallon nursery pots. I also plan to do a 6’x4’ scrog with 2”x2” squares.

Growing like a weed

Transplanted today and the plants are looking good. Silicone on the pvc for the drain away trays worked amazing, all set up and no leaks at all. I’m feeding mega crop at .8 EC right now but will be bumping it up slowly.

Added a scrog frame under the upgraded Spider farmer se5000. Everything going smoothly after transplanting them, just waiting to top now. I love when grows just come together nicely.

Topped all the plants and quite impressed with the new light so far. The plants are looking quite bushy with some nodes stacked right on top of each other.

Can we please see em?

More pictures? Or could you not see them in my post?

Quick update on the plants under the spiderfarmer. I can tell a noticeable difference in how even the light is, I like it a lot so far. Plants are getting bushy and almost time to put screen in.

Haven’t updated this in a while, chugging along. All but 1 plant has made it to the screen.

Flipped to 12/12 on feb 15th,first plant showed it’s sex 2 days later and it’s a female! I trimmed up some under the net and I’ll hit it again hard in about 2 weeks. Gonna keep tucking for the first 10-12 days after flip and then let them grow up some. Raised the light some more and turned the dimmer switch up to maintain ppfd I was at. The upgraded spiderfarmer se5000 is working great and the bar style lights definitely have a more even light spread than the board style lights. The show should be starting momentarily.

Little over 2 weeks into flower now and man did they explode. Filling the screen very nicely.

About to go into week 5 and really putting the weight on now. Gonna have some fat buds by the end I think. Have a little canoeing on some of the top buds on one plant that seems to be much different than the rest. I’m not too worried I believe the light was a little too strong so I backed the tops off from 1600 par to 1200par at 18 inches away. I also cleaned up under the screen around the 3 week mark of flowering. Really liking this spiderfarmer light so far.

In week 8 of flower now, getting close to harvest. Smells great in here, that said I definitely would like to upgrade to a 8 or 10 inch exhaust fan with carbon filter. Flowers are frosty and I have some real big buds along the back wall. Trichomes are turning from clear to cloudy now.
