Imo if you know you're going to have to bend again, it's better to do it now then wait.

Nice read this thread, very encouraging to see good results like that, I hope you get a MEGA harvest of REALLY GOOD SH1T

That's good advice, I've been thinking about that myself. I think I need to do some trimming as well.

Thank you. It's been interesting. I'm hoping to be more prepared for the next grow.

They are getting sticky and are smelling good. Bending them over gave me 18 inches from the lights.I also did some trimming. I had to do that.

I am 12 days into flower

I did my last trimming yesterday.

stl_rock_guy · Oct 3, 2020

I cut a bunch of leaves off. I'm hoping it helps with my humidity issue

Looks like you have more stretch coming. I know a lot of guys say keep using grow formula, but for me its too much N. I use bloom nutes to reduce stretch and flowering time. It will also reduce overall yield, but gram per day is about the same maybe.

Today is day 20 of 12/12. The leaves around the bud sites are starting to get frosty. I am going to stop using grow big as suggested by@growsince79 to slow down the growth. I am very curious to how big of a yield I will get if I pull this off. I have no clue since ILGM says up to 21 onces in a 3x3. I know I won't get anywhere near that

Been at it 40 years and have yet to see 19 oz in 9 sqft. Granted I throw away what some may add to dry weight total. But in my world, anything over 1 oz /sqft is a success. 1.5/sqft is about the best I get. That's with a one month from sprout then flip to flower. They look great. My purple chem are 23 days now. gl man cant wait to see the harvest.

I was hoping I would yield around 8 ounces in my tent which is a little over 6 sqft. so it will be close

That would be excellent. 21 oz I would have to see it, dry it, trim it and weigh it to believe. Buds are already growing frost awesome. Hope its good.

Did she quit stretching?

I haven't noticed a lot of vertical growth this week. I fed them Thursday and the white hairs are starting to darken up. I will post pics when I get home. As if right now I have my lights as far from them as possible. The lights are 21 inches from the plants

That's looking fantastic! If you want to maximize quality, you might want to look into running uvb. I use a cheap lizard bulb 4 hours a day about 10 inches away from canopy in the last month of flower. It sure as hell does not hurt and I am convinced it really helps (with trichome production and thc).

https://www.amazon.com/Exo-Terra-ReptiGlo-HeatGlo-Infrared/dp/B084TM9V61 is what I use if you care.

Now is the time for lots of light. What's your lux at 21"?

I've been having heat issues since I installed a second light. I have just recently be able to keep the day temps in check. it was getting up to 85 at times. I'm not sure about doing it this grow but I will on my next. I plan on getting a bigger tent and running ac in it.

Makes total sense. Just something to tuck away.
