Here is a canopy shot, there are 2 strains here, 3 NYC Diesel and 2 Crimea Blue (Blueberry x Hashplant). There are 4 bigger plants in the 4 corners and 1 smaller plant in the middle, canopy is about 12 sq.ft., I wanted it at least 16 sq.ft., but they didn't stretch as much as I hoped for and I couldn't keep vegging because of issues in the past.
I might of explained this earlier, but they were in veg for like 6 weeks and only looked 2 weeks old, I started them in a shitty soil mix without letting it 'cook' with lime and had almost no aeration, then transplanted into hempy's, still fucked up pH. Also, I was using GH
MaxiGro at 5 grams a gallon, which brought my nutrient solution pH down to under 5.0, but I didn't find out until after a month later. Finally put them in Sunshine #4 at the same time I got my pH meter and they started to grow normal, so they were vegged for a total of about 8-9 weeks, but had the size and vigor of a 3 week old plant.
Thats what happens when you rush into a grow without a decent substrate and no pH or EC meter's to test your nutrient solution and/or run-off. I've made my own super soil a few times with success, but this time I was rushed by a 'partner' and the substrate is SOOO important. Just a tip for any new cultivators from an experienced failed grow LOL. I guess I didn't fail too bad because they look decent, but should of been ALOT BETTER considering there veg time.
Now there a lil over 4 weeks old and should fatten up nice (for what they've been through) off that simple GH Micro and Bloom base nutes. I also had 2 light malfunctions where it came on at the 11th hour then a few days later it came on again at the 9.5 hour. The 1st time it didn't get me worried, but the 2nd time I thought my shit was gonna reveg, and I still ain't sure cuz it just happened 2 days ago.
Ya'll know I use a couple additives, but just a PK boost and Snow Storm. I'm thinking of dropping the PK boost next run because the ratio of GH Bloom is so similar to GH Kool Bloom. I'm also growing in 60/40 coco/perlite next run and I think the Heads Formula will work great alone, but still add the SSU.
Anyways, here is the pic, I had them under 1 600 since seedlings, just installed the 2nd 600 in the same hood about 2 weeks ago (2nd week of flower). I think that extra 600 will help with some of the down time in the past, I hope. Either way I got new seeds that WILL NOT have the same issue.
