Last night, soil is still damp. Last two waterings where light on nutes, last night mini flush with nutes. Hoping they look a little more lively when the lights come onThey look thirsty and hungry, have you fed them?
Most of it runs out the sides, I think because it's a fabric pot. I should do a better flush though. Definitely didn't get 20% run off. Should I wait until the soil dries or just do it now?When you water are you soaking the soil until water runs out the bottom?
Flushing is watering untill you have heavy runoff and then watering more, twice the normal amount of water that you normally use. Watering with 20% runoff is a normal watering you should do every time.
They will double in height or more after the flip and you need room between the light and canopy. I let mine go too long and had to supercrop at week two of flowering last time.
How much they stretch really kind of depends on the color spectrum of your LEDs. LEDs are a lot different than traditional HIDs when it comes to, well, a lot of things, but particularly the stretch. Most of my plants stretched mayyyyybe fifty percent when I flipped and that's because of my Apache's spectrum. If I remember correctly, it's got a 2:1 ratio of white to red light (white being the equivalent of blue light or, er, something like that haha). But yeah, once I flipped, only two of the eight plants stretched more than fifty percent. Granted, the Apollos are known for not being big stretchers, but the others aren't, and like I said, very little stretch. That has to do, I think, with the fact that it emits more "blue" light than red light. And this is a lamp that was designed specifically for growing cannabis.
I should also mention that I reduced the lighting schedule from 16/8 to 14/10 for two weeks before the flip, which may have reduced stretch even further. But yeah, the spectrum of your LEDs plays a big part in how much or how little they stretch.
How're they looking???
awesome, thanks for the feedback! i straight up flipped to 12/12 on thursday. they have already grown a bit. definitely bushier in the case of the GSC. they are getting watered/fed tonight when i get home, didn't have time before work. i'll try and measure them as well. plant pr0n:
also to note: i need to learn how to take better pics.
Man... You may wanna space those plants out just a bit. They look awfully crowded. I dunno what the footprint of your lights are, but if it were me, I'd maybe give them just a bit more room.
Of course, it's hard to tell, just because of your shitty photography skills and all.... Hahaha!!!!
Just fucking with you, my camera "skills" (if you wanna call them "skills" haha) suck. If you want better pics without that "interplanetary LED light" thing going on, you might just take them out of the tent for individual plant shots. That's what I ended up doing. And my light doesn't have nearly that weird "growing plants on Mars" thing going on haha. But it was still a bitch to get pics that weren't flooded with light, so I finally just took pics when I watered them (I took each plant out of the tent and watered by hand). It was a pain, for sure, but the pics looked better, which allowed for better feedback, which is why I posted my log in the first place, which is why which is why which is why etc etc....
