I topped and trimmed the Columbian Gold. Now it is all about training. Starting a couple Acapulco Gold Auto's tonight. Starting germination. These two will grow outdoors.

Y'all are not going to believe this, but one of my favorite strains is The Spice (50% indica and 50% sativa Hawaiian). Recently, I bought 28 pre-rolls of The Spice at my local dispensary. So far, I have found one viable seed in each pre-roll. I germinated one, and it split. it is in soil right now. I open the pre-rolls up and smoke in my mini-waterpipe. Now I know why the pre-roll were $1 each.

Do you guys think it is safe to turn the lights all t he way up now. I don't want to stress them. These are probably the healthiest plants I have had and I don't want to screw up.

what’s the light set at?
height,.. intensity

 

[JimfromA2]

The height of the light is 22". The intensity was at 60%. I turned it up to 80%. SF2000. 4x4 tent. Trimmed them all this morning and applied training to the airy one on the right. They will all get better air flow now. Look at the Columbian Gold catching up to the others.

Without measuring the light level it's a guess but we can get pretty close. The par map for the light sf2000 shows a 25% drop in energy from 16 to 12 inches down. It goes from 900 and change to 1200 and change. Based on a center highest par at 1200 12 inches and you are at 22 inches AND at 80% worked out to less than perhaps 450 ppfd
I would get and have a tool to measure lux. Let's me journal light levels for the next grow and setup level canopies.

I have a lux meter and I am not sure it is working.

Dude I measure in lux. What does yours say. Sometimes the scales are funky on my little red tool for lux.
Right now I have a 400 watt panel 24 inches above grow at 68% throwing 48K lux at the tops and 26k in the dirt.

Let me guess. You get a huge number and you are freaking. Lux is not a real good measurement. Par and ppfd are more accurate but lux works for trends. And it is much higher than ppfd as a scale

Every 3-4 days I am doing pruning and training. Today I pruned all the lower sucker branches. Trimmed the inward growing fan leaves. I don't do too much at one time. I leave time for recovery.

 

[JimfromA2]

Everything is trimmed, trained and ready. Flipping on Sunday which means it should be done the 3rd week of September.

 

[JimfromA2]

Was not satisfied so did the final trim and flipping on Wednesday now. I like to give 3 days for recovery before going to flower.

 

[JimfromA2]

Wow, they perked up from this morning's trim. I thought they would go the other way.

 

[JimfromA2]

I finally found out why I had drooping leaves. I was not watering enough. I have been guilty in the past of over watering. I obviously over compensated for that. Today is day one of bloom.

 

[JimfromA2]

One week into bloom and the one in the corner is showing signs of buds forming. I have never seen that after 1 week.

 

[Greenadian]

Thats a nice trait to have!!

 

[JimfromA2]

We have three girls! I knew the Columbian Gold was a female because it was a fem seed.

Some closer photos of the developing buds.

Hopefully you get some great phenos, happy growing

I have Punta Rojo going as well from NCG. My plants are 3 weeks old. I'm watching for nads to drop so I can separate the ladies from the boys. My next grow i may try to get some seeds, this grow want to get the bugs free of seeds. Back in the day all the Columbian Red Bud had seeds. I had no problems getting my seeds to germinate. I used Vivosun seed starter kit with warming pad. Good luck to you.
