Harvested my grow room last week & finished drying it today. Really surprised at the time it took 7.5 weeks, I was expecting at least 10. I got 1.3 grams a watt (2580 watts) so that’s not bad at all, for my first run with the LED’s. I was averaging 1 gram a watt before (3750 watts) & the best I ever got was 1.3 grams. Genetics probably held me back a bit on this one, next time I’m going with something I consistently got numbers out of before. Overall I’m really happy with the switch to LED, environment is much more stable, easier to control, the canopy grew a lot more even, penetration was a lot better than I expected as well, definitely reached down further than a foot into the canopy. I didn’t really notice a difference in growth between the two heights I had the lights. Both appeared the same to me at harvest, but saying that I’m definitely going to lower the lights. as I want to have my ran & carbon filter back inside the tent, instead of outside it’s too noisy for my liking. I have a few changes to make to my grow space for next time, new watering system (Flora Flex) fan, carbon filter back inside the tent & putting my dehumidifier back at the top of the tent. Thanks for following this grow, I’ll update you all on my next grow shortly ☺️

End of week 8 🌻

End of week 7 of flower, everything is ticking along nicely 🌳

End of the 6th week, they are starting to fill out a bit now. I’m going to boost with PK starting from tomorrow. Hopefully they will put on some more size in these last few weeks 🌳

Coming to the end of the 5th week of flower. I got a bit paranoid & lower one side of the lights, ended up getting light burn on a few of the tops. I noticed it after about two days, have put the side I lowered up about half a foot. I have one side 65cm away from the canopy & the other 40cm away. Thought I could do a little experiment & see what side fills out more. They seem to be filling out now, I have a lot of brown hairs 40-50%. Could be the strand but usually that’s an indicator it’s coming to the end for me, used the magnifying glass & had a look. Everything was clear, will hold it at the current feed strength (EC 1.8) for maybe another week to two, before I boost with PK

End of the 4th week of flower, they look a bit on the small side. In terms of bud development, could be in my head as there is still 3-5 weeks to go potentially. Starting to see maybe 20% brown hairs, I’ll give it a next week or two then boost with PK

After the defoliation, the bud spacing was really tight so it took hours to get these done. Unfortunately they wasn’t really big enough to super crop, so I have just slid the net down to provide some support later on when the buds start to fatten up. I lollipop them & took quite a bit out of the middle of most. To encourage growth at the tops, happy over all. I considered moving the light down but I’m just going to roll the dice and see what happens keeping them at the top 🪴

Big defoliation and lollipop tomorrow 🌳🍃🌴

End of week two of flower

One week in to flower 🌳 things are looking good. Would have liked them a little bigger, so I have more to work with. But can’t complain with the current situation

Finally switched 😊 Day #1 of flower, now the fun starts 

3 years ago

Defoliated today & did a little clean up of the bottoms. Not really a full lollipop, I had cleaned them up really good last time I defoliated. I’m really happy with the growth, they had kind of stopped getting taller a while ago. So I’m not expecting a massive stretch, will work with it if they do though. I left a lot more on, I would usually take off more. As I am anticipating it not stretching much, have given myself some more to play would. The growth tips are really stacked up, so I should get some massive heads towards the end 🤞🏻☺️

Will be doing the second, of three defoliation‘s tomorrow 🍃

One more week then I’ll switch 💡

Update on the girls after their first defoliation, think this is 4 days later. I’m happy with the way they are growing now, maybe 1-2 more weeks of veg 🌱

3 years ago

Gave the girls there first of 3 defoliations. This one is to mainly take off the big fan leaves 🍃 clean up the middle & start to prune for the structure I want. I have took quite a bit off & only really left the top shoots. I find later on I cur that stuff off anyway, I only want what I’m going to use going forward

Will be doing a defoliation & lollipop in the next few days. To re-focus the growth, to the structure I want to be carrying through to flower 🪴

Stems are starting to get nice and thick

Happy 😊 with how the girls are looking, growth has really picked up. Can’t see any stretching whatsoever, usually with HPS they would be more spaced out. Not massively, but definitely something I have noticed. Could be down to keeping the night temperature relatively high. Still got 2-4 more weeks of veg to go, to I can fully fill out the canopy to where I want it.

This one is finally growing out, of the mutated growth. Will look to cut it out in a few days & let it focus on the new growth

So impressed with the rate of growth so far, got these from clone with maybe 2-3 sets of fan leaves 🍃

Growing out of it a little bit, I noticed my pH was really high. So I’m thinking it’s a bit of a pH issue, even though it’s only affectively one

The LED’s are definitely moving things along nicely. No sign of stress yet at all, can’t wait to see what they look like in two weeks 👀

Making a good start

3 years ago

Happy with the general growth, have one plant that is displaying some mutated growth tendencies. I used to get this quite a lot with HPS after transplanting into bigger pots. In the first 1 to 2 weeks usually goes away after

3 years ago

Generally quite happy with the rest of the growth over the past 5 days. No signs of stretching yet, EC 1.1 PH 5.8 feeding once a day, just upped to 2 times a day, as I’m not getting much run off
