Fim’d a few of the Blue Sunshine. A couple of the plants seem to be struggleing, gotta do a time-frame check and see if its time to start pumping nutrients.
The light I have in the main veg area is an HLG100 watt, amazed at that light. One thing, it runs a little hot, but, shrug, that’s what fans are for. Cannot use it in the smaller side (the breeding area). That has just basic old T5’s LOL. So far, it’s working.
Didn’t take pics, but will tonight. But when I looked at the Blue Sunshine’s this morning, those baby’s are getting Beefy. Heck, might even veg em out for another month LOLOLOL. That way, i can take cuttings, sex them and flip em. Yep, target acquired. Muahahahahhaahahhaha
Some of them I started direct, however this run (and subsequently everything currently in the veg tent) was actually germinated under the T5’s. The last run I did some Fast Buds Gorilla Glue from germination under that light. It was an amazing plant.
So far with the height, I’ve just basically tried to keep it about 18" above the tallest plant to keep it from burning. I evaluate daily, so it can vary. When I start seeing the tiniest burns on the tips of the leaves, i move it up a couple inches.
As to germination in the future, I think what I’ll do since the breeding side of the tent now has the T5’s and I don’t have any more power to use (lol, its an apartment and a total shit show), but I digress…probably throw a tv tray in to account for the height difference for seedings and wing it.
I gave up on clones this summer due to the heat. Couldn’t keep the reservoir cold enough and it just fried all the clones, which just made me want to make seeds even more!
I have a small 2ft HO T5. It does really well with the bubble cloner and my mother plant candidates. Been looking for a 2 or 3 bulb one on the markets for a little light.
My next seedlings im going to try to germinate under the HLG100. I suspect they should do better this time and not stretch so much. Really just wish it dimmed.
Its awesome that youre making your own seeds though. Going to be popping more regular seeds here soon. I would love to find a male that I can keep in veg for breeding experiments.
Blue Sunshine - omg. Just found out that the condo we wanted to rent, we got approved for!!! Well, these babies will be veging till at least 11.5. Yowza.
Great looking plants, good job. Love the pics w/ the furry one. Reminds of my own, he loves laying in the warm glow of the bright lights.
Him on the couch next to me now.
