3 Strains in DWC with 5 weeks remaining

Shlep · Jun 9, 2021

2 Purple Urkles
3 Chemdog Gorrilas
1 Gorilla OG

~5 Weeks left... have to put them under a SK400, but, can't raise it, so, a screen is used to bring down the brightness just enough so it doesn't 'burn' the ones directly below. I've added a net for a few reasons, one is to use as a 'scrog' if necessary.

Had to bend, prune, supercrop and more to all of the plants because they were growing into the shadows. Most of the lower leaves are still producing so I won't trim them off until about 2 weeks left, which is in about 2 weeks. Will update pics tomorrow... have the wrong phone with me... lol.
Wednesday is picture day every week.

Just hoping to keep them going... ;) Again, the hotspot is not there usually. I place a screen there and it does lower the intensity. None of the leaves are bleaching, so....

On the second pic (above), you'll have to imagine adding a 22 degree tilt to the light pushing it back to the wall behind. Then I added another 100 W LED to fill in the 20% that wasn't getting enough light to the front set. It fills in nicely. It's a Mother's Little Helper from Spectrum King. I bought a few of these and we really liked them. The one I put in here I was using for a workbench light. ;)

This is what I'm working with, but, it is what it is. Down near the root level it's about 87 degrees. This is usually hanging on the light, and this is the temp there.

Had to add another light so none would be in the shadows. I just started training too late.

But what are the leaf temps?

I don't know. I can't really measure them. Mid canopy is around 88 degrees from a temp gauge on the wall. There's no real bleaching as far as I can tell, but, I moved them as far away as I could and now there's really nowhere left to go. ;)

Cheap IR temp gun brother. 77f is ideal for leaf temps or there abouts. A slightly lower humidity and decent airflow will help lower them through evaporative cooling. Under LED its not a stretch to see leaf temps 10f cooler than air temps.

Just dont go wind burning them.

Cool... thanks. I do have two circulating fans... one on the ceiling and one in the corner you can't see... a tower fan. Yes, I've been thinking about a temp gun, but, with my pay reduced this past year, ONLY the most important things can be bought. ;)

I have an exhaust fan above the light operating on about 250 cfm which takes out the entire room in a minute.

Actually, I might pick up the gun since it's half price ;)

Takes all the guess work out.

Keep doing what you're doing. Those ladies look really good!

Thanks... Unfortunately, upon checking the ppm today, it was at 2700. It needed 1 1/2 gallons in the res (4 gallon res) so I just added water and got it back down to under 1800. It's been hot so they are drinking more water than nutes, I think. I also added a bit of Epsom Salt and didn't add water a day or two ago, which may have also added to the issue. Most others are around 1600 - 1800 ppm at the moment.

Shlep · Jun 21, 2021

So, the leaf temp is around 88F, but, I don't find that too strange. Last night I checked my grass, after 8 pm and it was 82F. The peach and apple trees were around 88F. My FN house, thank you for causing temps to rise, was 115F radiating AFTER the sun was down. Unreal.

Anyway, these were growing into the light, and she is about 10 days slower than the others, so, she had to be 'scropped'.

Shlep · Jun 23, 2021

She was getting a little pale so, I had to cut my equiv 1000HPS down to around a 400HPS, but, no problems. They will be fine.
You can see the cropping areas start to revive. I trimmed some out. I will start feeding water to the res today, but, that's just to top it off.
PPM is still around 1700 for the moment, but, that will begin to come down.

A nice pic from within looking up. ;)

Yes, there are a few seeds. She had a few nanners but I got most of them, but, apparently, she won the battle on a few buds. No problem.

Actually, I lost the battle for most of this plants buds. They are getting heavily seeded, but, I can throw the seeds into a blender and make a protein shake. ;) Also, I haven't had seeded bud in a while... used to get some 'mexican' bricks long ago and sometimes it would be the only shite that would put me to sleep. Maybe I can reproduce that. lol.

The bud could have been CBD, Hemp, or MJ, but, when you're a teenager, you might not care so much.... at least in the 80s.

I was going to say! that first picture of that bud looks like a ton of seed! Did you find the culprit?

Chemdog Gorilla was the hermie.
