Another flippin' update
Well all the plants have been pruned and trimmed up for flower, upcanned into 7 gallon pots, and flipped the light to 12/12
Added in the bloom nutes to the Roots Lush soil. Handful each of Uprising Bloom and Foundation added to the lower half of the pot of soils and stirred in then the plant is added along the rest of the soil. Kind of a layering technique with dry nutes.
From here on out the only thing needed will be to keep them well watered and about once every other week I'll add more
Great White and Trinity to the waterings

Airpot roots. No coiling or binding, just happy free range roots. When these get into that big 7 gallon pot they'll have plenty of room to roam at all levels of soil depth.
Root bound plants are highly frowned upon here at The Hideout. It restricts performance so I do everything possible to make sure they can grow with plenty of freedom by using airpots and oversized container for flowering. Plus the big pot give the plants a nice big tank of gas for the 8 week journey to harvest

I reconsidered how I would apply UV later and decided on a two lamp fixture instead of two separate single lamp fixtures daisy chained to each other. I found this fixture on Amazon for only $28. The lamps are a pair of CLW UV t5ho tubes.
This is mounted onto an 8' long track with a Lightrail 4.2 motor. The UV will travel back and forth across the garden for only 2 hours each day starting around week 5 or 6 of flower.
Since this will be going over the top of the LED I may add some blue tape to the plastic fan housings of the LED so the UV does not fade or damage it. I'll also be making a point to not be in the g/room when this thing is on

Plants! All trimmed up so I can fit all 11 in there. Basically trimmed them up to grow 5-6 main colas and not much else.
4 have the chance to be male so there may be some culling to do in a week or so. The 7 other plants are all known females.
Two plants are showing hybrid sativa traits so they get a spot on the far right just in case they want to get bigger and bushier than the indica hybrids in the lot. If that happens then that's where having three smaller lights at different heights will be advantageous as opposed to using one large size light. All plants will get high quality light even if they're different heights

And a moment of zen. Hatch chili season is here so the delicious hatch pepper is in almost everything at the supermarket. Even the apple pies!
