Filling the gap this run

[DankNugz420]

Thanks bud, yea I'm turning them up in increments to find the sweet spot as I toasted the last run due to maxing the light height out and ended up 10 inches from light with no more room, but I have a little bit of room left this time so just getting a feel of what distance and intensity the plants are happy with. They seem happiest at about 14 to 16 inches from light

3" too close: we burn with the agony of a thousand sun's!
3" too far away: all we know is entropy and darkness...

 

[DankNugz420]

Lmao right! Gotta be a sweet spot somewhere round here

Hey all! Day 14 from flip and looking just alright, filled the 4×8 pretty good. Turned the p1000s up yesterday morning to 3/4 power which is like somewhere between 80 and 85% judging by the numbers on the dial and the deathstar is digging it so far. I may turn em up all the way after I feed again which should be soon. Had to adjust the exhaust a bit so I could raise the oscillation 16" a bit more. Thinking of either moving the exhaust fan or the oscillating fan to the opposite end of tent, they aren't getting along very well lol. The middle 2 plants stretched more than other 2 so I'l probly raise the deathstar up a lil bit soon so it can get more of the breeze. Looks like I may have to draw back on nutes just a touch, seeing a few tips starting to look a bit burnt

Sell looks great. Now grab it by the sack and trim the under growth. Maybe put a fan down there. Defoliate leaves that won't get light or overlap.

 

[DankNugz420]

Lol yea I was just debating on how I want to tackle it and when because there is alot of new little stuff under the canopy. I'll feed em first then snip afew big leaves to see what's worth saving as far as bud sites that will perform best. There's definitely stuff under that will not make the cut even after leaf trim lol, I want to avoid larf as much as I can but at same time I don't wanna go over board and hurt yield.
Also there is already a 12 inch oscillating fan below

 

[Ponky]

Trim of at a minimum the bottom third. And a lot of fan leaves. Like what seems like too many. Fungus loves destroying indoor plants that fly too close to the sun on wax wings. Airflow and light and everything is alright. Dark and moist and everything is toist.

 

[DankNugz420]

Definitely, I'm pretty set on airflow other than the fact I need to trim yet lol. It's pretty wild how these things go crazy after trimming, there's tons of new little stuff that won't be worth a dam. Ive gone thru a couple times already since flip to wipe out lower sites that restarted since the lollipop. These pics are current, the medium is still alittle moist so just waiting to feed then I'l get the scissors out lol. The 3 unknowns are alot more bushy than the deathstar.

I need to work on gettin temp down a touch, relying on a window shaker to cool the entire house right now and it's been mid to high 80s outside lol guess it's not doin too bad cooling the place but I'l have to try to push more cool air towards the grow room a bit more

Plants don't mind it hot. My Pink Lemonade did awesome at 100F for 3 days straight. Some don't mind the 80s.

 

[DankNugz420]

Right it's almost 85 in flower tent right now but atleast it's early in flower yet. They do seem to be tolerating it pretty fairly well but I do notice some curling. Definitely gonna want to drop temps later in flower, had too much fox tailing last run and want to avoid that but tbh it was the sativa stains that fox tailed before and not the indicas so I dunno maybe I'l be alright in that aspect but the Terps I'll want to preserve as much as possible. Not sure where the threshold is for Terps and temps in late flower

 

[30roll]

1st week of flower here.. Temps are 83-86 but they are using less water because it's cooler longer with 12 hours of darkness..
They are stretching everyday..
I can turn down the lights later to cool things off during the final weeks..

 

[DankNugz420]

Right plus when lights are on is when it's pumping most fluids to the tops. Go from long days to short days it's gonna be obvious the difference in amount of fluids it's going thru.

 

[DankNugz420]

Hey all, day 21 flower today. I changed things up and just did undercarriage prune yesterday while only taking a hand full of big leaves from canopy. The branches are spreading out naturally from top weight and exposing other bud sites. I'll have to do some stringing up within next couple weeks

Below, death star

Unknown, possibly fruit loops? That's what they smell like about now

 

[DankNugz420]

Also a lil update on the baby gg cut that took over a month to root lol she's coming around now. Clones are a lil stressed from me putting lights too close but I backed em off a bit

 

[DankNugz420]

I was able to sit on a bucket underneath the canopy when i was pruning lol

Sup y'all day 28 flower and most is good, got a bit of an issue with deathstar and decided to douche em out good today just incase there's salt build up (promixHP, gh flora trio + calmag) as I rarely give them only water. Runoff ph was high at about 8 and ppms are double what I been feeding. Also I turned the viparspectras down a bit, i think some of the leaf symptoms are light stress since I'm maxed on light height again but figured I'd cover my bases. I'll start giving just water every 3rd feed, I've heard it's recommended to but I just haven't done it very often. Going to lower ppms next feed as well.
Still getting used to how intense these p1000s are compared to the white rose bars, the diodes are all packed in a 1ft square versus 2 inch by 40 inch strip. I shouldn't have a problem with light height next run as they will be 2.5 month veg versus 5 month veg lol. I'l have to stay on top of them with training.
Can someone suggest whether or not I should lower ph of feed or wait to see if the douche did the trick? It's usually about 6.5 going in and the 3 unknowns are fine with it but the deathstar is being fussy

 

[DankNugz420]

Any suggestions?

 

[Shayne010944]

What ppm / e.c are you feeding at ? and is this in coco ?

 

[DankNugz420]

Gh flora trio plus calmag, 875 to 925 ppm goin in and that's with around 325 ppm in the tap water, promix hp straight from the bale that comes pre mixed with perlite
