High Times at Redneck'x 🌿 Cabin

[TexasMade]

LST on point! I have a hard time with that for some reason lol

 

[Week4Bytch]

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.

Yeah doesn't matter if it's working for you...lol, fuck it. Keep doing what your doing man.

Both my current grows can't handle a real 900 ppfd measured with a real meter under my HLG lighting. The GG4 and Grape Slurpee both throw bad signs and complain.

Thank you for the kind words!
And what's the reason?

I'll try to keep my own style and stay on the gas but will try some lower intensity this time.

I can see the light stress but in your case they're still in veg, in flower they should take a couple hun's more.
Had not any sign of stress on my plants from the high intensity at around 1000-1400ppfd.
I'm veggin way lower rates around ~180-500 depends on stage.

Have the same meter.. game changer for me.

I have one plant in veg,,, long term veg. Two in early flower,,, bud sites set and off to the races. And a auto deep into flower. You can take this however you want. But your not pushing a honest 1k+ ppfd with no CO2 and ripping away. Sorry not buying any of it with a crappy cell phone reading or guessing with light manufacture tables. I have a HLG 650R in my 3' x 3' x 7'-11" tent and dual 350R's in my 2' x 4' x 7'-11" tent. And I can blaze insane levels of ppfd with the lights high in the tent and perfect coverage. I don't even know how your running those numbers with the light you have. Unless I missed something in the thread. Good Luck!

I would have bought the meter 30 years ago if we had them regardless of cost. You just don't know,,, until you know. Cell phone reading never worked at all for me. Never could get a iPhone 13 ProMax or a Sammy Ultra 22 to work anything close to right.

Understand, it's nice knowing precisely what your working with. You can "wing it" with other tools and work with them to your advantage. I was using a lux meter for a grow... But hey it helped. A member convinced me to get the Apogee awhile back. It was a hard swallow but worth it from r peace of mind. After awhile you almost don't need them after a few grows under your belt and getting to know your lights. But for that initial setup...a god send.

So far it worked good for me, what should I say...I'm not really needing a meter..I am reading my plants and know what they need.
Never used manufacturers recommendations.
As long as they look fine I keep pushing them by time.
Your lights kinda double or triple+ the output mine does.
I hang them really close during flower ~5", maybe that's the key for high output? I know the spread will suffer but in last runs I don't needed to cover the whole tent, this time I can't run those number, unless I am buying another.
Easy to get over 1k imo.

Maybe your light doesn't run as hot as ours, lucky! I have one light that burns the plants if it's close like that and another light.. smooth sailing if plants grow up into it, All good.
Can't wait to see what you end with, really curious about that Sativa.

Yeah the light doesn't get really hot.
Let them reach for the light is the plan.
Want the double plant height, maybe flip on next weekend.
They're hybrids, sativa leaning with at least 250% max. stretch that i should be able to handle. My additional burple light will reduce the stretch and staying in range of 5°c or 41°f day & night, prevents me of an uncontrolled stretch.
The 14 flowering wks makes me think twice..

Grow some autos in there while it's finishing is an option. If your into sativas might be worth it.

Started growing with autos and flexed a little with them, i think they could take longer than expected and in the end ruin my plans on the upcoming run, which I can't wait to start

I'm running a few autos and the Strawberry Gorilla is the one that surprised me in a good way. With just 12 hours lighting the entire grow and it's popping.

I believe so! Love the terpy fast buds, my Strawnana had the deepest strawberry smell I could even think of, but a little overriped and lost terps the other one was gorilla cookies which had true bubblegum flavours!
Got several autos and looking forward to run some after the next photo run comming summer in sog, will be fun for sure.

 

[Redneckx]

6 hours later..Ridiculous growth lol

I'm pretty sure the tent sides are going to explode. One of those in a 3x3 would fit perfectly but this is just nuts.

AE Foliar, 3ml nirvana, 3ml bacteria and raised the amount of water from 1l to 1.5l because dryback went to two days instead of three.
Also lowered the light as much as possible and stook back to 75% intensity around 280-300 ppfd, will probably leave the light like this until flip.
LST and leaf tucking everyday.

 

[Redneckx]

Today watered again 1.5L
Silica 2,5ml
4ml Calmag
4ml grow
3 ml bacteria
End of Lst for now.
They bounce back so well when I make this feed!
First of all wanted to have a good microbiology before adding too much nitrogen and ferts.
Now I will continue with this kinda feed to let them reach the sky.

Sad update...I saw some worms below leaves. Very small ones but they start to make some damage(white looking round spots) on top and below they look like holes.
Going to topdress with de tomorrow, spray with a peroxide solution. Also can spray with silica if it helps.
All help is appreciated!
