First time growing with clones.
Original Oreoz - Growers Choice
Nuggz - Ethos Genetics
Serotica - Serious Seeds
Just repottet and little low stress training.
A little curious about growing photo sativa types...so much side stems and a 200-220% stretch.
With breaking the apical dominance I should archive to get a wider and not so tall plants right?
Is there a point when the dominance fell apart and shoots in the sky like there is no limit? Maybe during flip?

 

[Redneckx]

Some more Lst.
The plant is growing quick and sturdy, can't wait to see them in flower, what do y think 2 weeks more veg?

 

[Redneckx]

Feeding with Nirvana and Ancient Earth also as foliar, best shaped plants so far.

These are gonna fill that 3x3 nice. You have your hands full, in a good way.

That's what I was thinking as well..
Giving them another 2 weeks of veg could be an overload right?
What about flipping them easy, reduce the hours slowly over time to 14/10(1st month desired flower light cycle). One of the plants may take up to 14wks of flowering so I'm really afraid about growing sativa leaning clones and plants
They're already growing fast and exceeding the pot sides completely soon..

Everyone has their way that works for them, so take mine with a grain of salt, I've done it a few diffrent methods. The Sativa variant will finish weeks after the others so no worries there, this last grow when I flipped to 12/12 I left the lights as is...then raised the intensity of the lights after that first week. I've also done it straight from the flip too.. raising the intensity. worked out for both.

To answer your question.. just flip to 12/12 , get the party going when your ready to flower up. and tough call on when to flip.. you just did the training there, maybe a week for them to recover and then flip?

Yeah everybody's working different and that's great!
I'm trying to do sth. different every grow..
This is the first time growing a clone. Fked up my seeds and was annoyed, so I'd try that.
My lights hanging already as low as they can on 75% intensity, around 230ppfd will measure it later but probably got around 2,5' left to the light and 1' more to the highest spot in the tent.

Just did some Lst...was thinking about to defoliate and top but the stress and loose height and get even more bushy plants isn't on my mind.
Those strains shall be finicky esp. Original Oreoz and the stress they already gone through to be topped of the mother, rooting and delivered and maybe more in their grow space I don't know about...made me think that lst and lollipopping shall be enough stress for em even If I'd like to do more. Going to flip them directly to 12/12 straight on weekend the upcoming week. In around 10 days from now.
Thank you for stepping in!

230 PPFD is good, might want to up it to 350 and then at least 600-700 when you flip

Sorry ..posted wrong thread ..

Had the same in my mind. I'll ramped up the lights up to 100% now (320ppfd) and let her grow into their sweet spot. I may can't archive the 6-700 ppfd when flipping but let's see how far they reach to the llight when releasing the wires...
During late flower I'm pushing them to their limit around 1200- 1400ppfd.
Do sativas and indicas react different on high light exposure? I know autos love it and they can't get enough.

Fits in mine as well.

1200-1400 seems a little high, unless your running Co2. I never go higher than 950 if I can help it, plants will sometimes grow into the lights, but I try to keep it under 950 from the very top. I've seen very nice thick buds in just 750.
With autos it's the DLI that matters, I aim for 35 or so... Which is about 600ppfd at 18 hours. One of my flowers is at 750 PPFD at 12 hours and is stacking really nice. Surprised me. Strawberry Gorilla.

Are you sure?
Last runs I had mine at this ppfd rates and they liked it, huge burned or faded buds or sth. Without Co2. Just fucked up with my temps and ruined first top buds :X blame on the demhumidifer.
It was Migro who said that it's not a problem if y avoid higher rates than this.
Let them take as much as they could!?
Or giving less and respond with bigger bud stretch, resin production or sth.?
Autos can take more light, photos can take more ferts...what are the benefits of giving them less than they could, if the environment is on point.(Not in my case)
Strawberry gorilla sounds great!
Had once a Strawnana Auto from fast buds...incredible flavours sadly took her too long and lost the fruity terps. Maybe next time I pull earlier.

huge burned = no burned*

How are you measuring the PPFD? Because I just checked that Migro sight and ...

"Depending on the growth stage and grower experience the best PAR intensity will range from 250 µmols/m²/second for seedlings up to 1,400 µmols/m²/second for flowering at expert level. For home growers we recommend flowering at 900 µmols/m²/second for photoperiod plants and 550 µmols/m²/second for autoflowering plants."

"Expert level" meaning with use of CO2. Migro states there 900 for "home growers".

What is the best PAR intensity for plants? PPFD DLI adding CO2

The optimal PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) intensity for plants can vary depending on the specific plant species and its growth stage. Photosynthetically Active Radiation PAR PAR is the range of light wavelengths (usually measured in the 400 to 700 nanometer range) that plants use for...

Necessary Light defoliation yesterday for more air flow.
Will keep em some days like this to strengthen the stems.
Taking the risk of getting too big plants instead of getting too small ones and ofc taking care of the stretch.
Gave em 3ml nirvana & 3ml guano, 4ml photosensitive+

I am always measuring through the ppfd app, which isn't that accurate but enough for my purposes.

Couldn't find the resource i saw with migro in a conversation but guess your right and I didn't heared that expert lever is with Co2.

Driven my plants a little hight but nothing wrong with the harvest, it was very good tbh.

 

[Redneckx]

Canopy should be ready to grow upwards next feeding in 3 days, fully maxed out to the pot sides.
Foliar spraying AE every next watering.
4ml silica, 5ml Calmag, 5ml grow all receive around 1l solution.

Thanks man! I love how stack up, they're ridin' pretty well.
