Seeing a ton of development on both strains. Put up a trellis and ran black cloth over it to give them partial shade. Hoping to run them under the big light from now on. We will see how they do. Although we’ve been watering at 6.1 ph the soul ph is above 7 and I think next time I water I will try to bring that number down. Could be preventing big growth. All plants are now bent over. The smallest BJ is still yet to be topped but DH says it grows like a traditional sativa and should be topped before long. Late

Plants still did not take well to the 315. I returned them to the 2 1200s but this time on full spectrum. They did not respond well to that either. Switching off the red spectrum finally made them happy again. So thats what those girls will be under til they are a bit stronger. Since topping these girls they are looking great with some advancement of growth in new branches. No visible stunting from being topped. They’ve been watered once since day 11 the solution included rhizo and cannazym @ 1/4 strength. They do not appear to be over-watered and hopefully I can give them a shot of some canna coco ab soon.

Recently topped the Cz Cakes. All doing really well. Healthy green leaves. Decided to give them some Lst a couple days later because they were blinging even right after topping. blackjacks are still small the largest was topped today. Switched from Led to 315 CMH today after about four days of lowering leds to harden them. Going to keep an eye out for symptoms of light stress still.

Plants were under too much light. Temps were good but too much light. They stunted and gradually showed lightening leaves between veins. To adjust for light stress I switched off my 315 CMH and am now running just the 2 Bestva 1200s on blue spectrum. They have darkened in color and are appearing more healthy now. Wait a few more days before increasing light levels. Watered lightly about every other day.

Just transplanted this morning. Strawberry Cz Cake in the front. About 6-7” tall. 2 nodes. Blackjack in the back. About 3-4” tall. 1-2 nodes. Lights at 36” above canopy. 2 gallons watered all 6. PH : 6.32 PPM : 75 Nutrients: no Lights: All on. Leds both spectrums 6” Exhaust fan : Low Intake fan : Off Humidifier : On high Tower fan : Off Temp : ~73f RH : ~55% (workin on it) ~These numbers mean nothing. This light amount and set up were too much for these lil girls~ Apparently you can have too much light even if temp and humidity levels are great. Learned that light stress can actually cause the plants to drink a lot and in turn absorb toxic levels of nutrients.
