I keep trippin on the Banana OG. I always think its yellow but its a light green cant tell what it needs. I gave it a boost in cal mag and it seems to be filling in a bit more. No idea.

Platinum OG on the other hand looking lush and healthy!

Day 4

Raised the light a bit as they got a little lighter in color.

Have not defoliated much. Im going to keep it light until day 16-18 or so.
 
Gavita is at 100% and I just raised it back to 36” above canopy.

Am i giving too much light too early?

Day 4 Flower
Back in the day we would use the back side of our hand to see how hot it was, that method doesn't work with these fancy led's 😁 😁 😁 so I went and bought this meter that talks to my phone. Accurate maybe, consistent always. Wise investment.

Your plants are beauties! I've learned that LED's will twist and curl leaves into un-natural shapes when they are too intense. Your plants don't show those signs. You will see very light green growth, especially when lights just come on, that's just new growth and the chrophyll just hasn't caught up yet.

It always throws me off! Lol thanks for the kind comments. They are really pleasing! Cant wait til the flowers form!
 
Looking great! Especially for a first grow! I can't wait to get my tent, so much better than being crammed in a closet. Im still getting used to the new led lights. Not even remotely close to the hps/ mh. Definitely a learning curve! They look great!

Thank you so much! I was actually going to do a closet grow because of space but I just made some space in my kitchen. Best part is I get all the co2 I need if not more from the stove. The only bad part is when using the oven ppms creep up to 3500-4000 so im not using the oven for the next couple months hahahaha! Thankfully my lady is a ride or die and she did not complain :) hahahaha!

But yeah get a tent for sure if you are thinking about it. Controlling temp with humidity is key and tent helps a lot with that.
 
Happy Sunday!

I am at End of Week 1!
Day 7

Really happy with the growth! I am hoping they fill up just right and not too tall! Stems are gettting nice and chunky! Stacking looks nice! Pistils popping everywhere! Flowers should be coming soon!

runoff EC is a tad high been feeding with more run off.

Todays feed was 5.8ph 1.9 EC
Runoff has been 6.1 2.3 EC for the past few feedings. Target EC is 1.8-2.1

It has been dropping 50-100 ppms per feeding not sure if I should be forcing more runoff? Currently getting around 25-30%

Plants seem to be fine although I found some minor tip burn. I backed off as soon as my runoff EC was getting higher than my feed.

 
Great looking canopy! Nice job so far they look great!
