    Default Led Grow Shop UK - HLG 100 Review: Krofam and MrCannab1sir Do Gelato Dream, (updates)

    First of all, I would like to thank Harry over at LedGrowShopUK for supplying Krofam and MrC with a HLG 100 board.

    Krofams intro

    It's quite simple. As we both have the same light, we decided to go for the same strain and mainline our plant to keep it low and wide.
    I will be growing in coco and MrC will be in soil. when we pop seeds they will go under T5 until roots break the cube.


    breeders info on the strain...

    MrC's update

    Looks a nice bit of kit. Definition of simplicity, screw the driver onto the board and plug it in, no wiring to do. Only slight negative so far is there's no dimmer, but on a 100w board I'm not sure how important it really is,

    soon see how well it handles sprouting seedlings. It came next day, well packaged, next to no chance of damage en route.

    The board itself is as light as a feather, you probably wouldn't even realise you were holding it if you had your eyes shut! It's only when you put the driver on that it has any real weight, even then it's easy to hold with 1 hand.

    Introduced my eyes to a new level of brightness, definitely brighter than my 100w equivalent. All in all a tidy, easy bit of kit I'm expecting good things from, we'll see...

    First impression, WOW! thing nearly blinded me. i get flashbacks and see dots all over again just thinking about it.

    Light arrived pretty quick. well packaged and discrete.




    Current grow will be done soon and this is the space it will get along with what i'll be using.

    JINGO....PROPER WEEKLY UPDATE


    Plain sailin so far, lights been hanging about 20 inch away. Looks plenty strong and healthy. Temp/humidity is usually about 23c/54%, can't get it any warmer atm. Not much else to say, more than happy with the board so far though.

    Day 10 Update



    on the 9th she went into soak and a couple days later into root riot cubes...






    couple days after that she popped through and on the 14th we called it Day 1.



    ------------------

    on the 16th (Day 3), i put her into a pot noodle pot so she gets a good root system going and gives me time to get pots cleaned.

    T5s On 24/0

    RH 55%
    EC 0.7
    PH 5.5







    -------------------


    fast forward a week and here we are at Day 10... now under the LED and supported.

    temps a bit low but ill be sticking the MH/HPS on soon for my main grow so that will help raise ambient temp a bit.

    Moved the light down a bit, stems not as thick as I'd like atm. I reckon it could have been hanging at 16 inch to start and had no disastrous effect tbf





    Decent improvement in the thickness since lowering the light

    Weekly Update - Day 25



    LED On 24/0 @ 24"
    Temp 26c
    RH 40%
    EC 1.0 (A+B and Rhizo)
    PH 5.6


    Here she is on day 21



    not much improvement from previous update and i was just about ready to give up on her until i thought id try putting the 2 other little ones i have, that are roughly the same age, under the light at 17".
    as you can see below, they too started to droop and lose a bit of colour in less than a day.




    On Day 22 i moved the 2 little ones back under the MH and put the Gelato Dream there too to see if she improved.

    24hours later and she perked right up so i moved her back under the LED, rising it to 24" on Day 23.






    ------------------

    On Day 25 she went into 6ltr Airpot...






    its set her back about a week but im hopeful...

    WEEKLY DIARY UPDATE

    Lovin this little beast so far. Got it sat about 16 inch away atm, lowered from an initial 22 inch. I gave it a feed yesterday and chances are I'll feed it again next time before watering if the leaves look any paler. Also gave it a spray with epsom salts.

    I topped and chopped it earlier and just kept the 2nd, 3rd and 4th nodes, see how they develop as to what's gonna stay/go. All branches pinned level for the mainlining

    Not in any rush to flip so let it simmer for a bit longer. I've been thinking about a new light to replace the hps in my main groom so ordered a 260 w rspec from LED Grow Shop UK That's the problem with being single, no one to answer to but myself, and I thought it was a BRILLIANT idea

    WEEKLY UPDATE

    Going well so far, I've put 4 ltr through it today with 4ml PM soil grow per ltr. Temps have been pretty steady at about 25-26c, humidity's been a little lower than I'd like at 35-40% so may chuck the humidifier in for the last week or 2 of veg.

    I'll trim some leaves and possibly nodes off in the next week, get the final structure. I don't want it growing out of the sweet spot, it's gonna stretch after flip so keeping that in mind. Lights been on 24/7 since I switched it on, only needed a 2 ft tube heater to keep temps up in an 80x80x180 cm.
