Hope everyone had a Great Christmas!
I currently have these blue dreams from ILGM that happens to be my first photoperiod run. They have been going for a long time now I would say just about 5 months. So far on the negative side of things I noticed:
- Very High electric bill ( up by @ least 200$ per month ) which really having me on the fence of continuing this hobby.
- Flower time seems a bit on the slower side, I would say im in day 45
- I did notice on 1 of the girls pistils turned more than 50% orange day 25 in flower
On the Positive note :
- ALL 20 seeds i purchased looked great and so far all germinated direct in soil with only watering by a misty spray bottle
- All plants ever raised by ILGM recovered from any kind of trauma beautifully, I have made many mistakes such as dropping things, dog attacks, nutrient problems, pest ect. All were 100% curable in no time and turned out to be beautiful.
- Plants Smell and look Beautiful!
Some Questions I had for the Community:
- How much longer do the plants you see look like they can take ?
- Estimates on yield ?
- Anything I can do to save money on my electric bill ( next grow I do need to decrease wattage so looking for recommendations on best light setup for biggest yeild ( on about 7 photoperiod plants ) in 1 area, such as the one in the pictures.
- What I can improve on?
Thanks guys!
