I know that’s right! Definitely not the biggest fast of the Christmas tree either. It does the job, but not the most efficient. I will look into them and try applying on 1 or 2 plants to see the differences under the same conditions of a similar plant that is topped twice.
Yeah check it out, you will like the results.
Keep in mind not to apply Lst too early, even it's just "low stress" it can cause several issues: stunted growth, runty plants and too much stress they can't recover from, leads to death. Also happens through time that a couple of stems will break or supercrop(which could be good in combo with clips) make a little research and try different techniques to maximize the efficiency. Supercrop is hst.
Yeah easily 2 more weeks veg. I mean as you know that all depends on what you want out of the plant, but they still seem rather small. Personally I’d give them another month and you’ll have created easily another 4-8 nodes a plant increasing the yield by about 20% .
Sounds good, I was a little scared because of their stretch(200%+) weather too much or not enough caused by veggin too long(less stretch and yield could suffer), not really familiar with photoperiod especially sativa dom., also first time with clones, dif. Strains and breeders.

Whatever fits you the most. I'd like to have rather bigger then smaller plants.
They're also forming more nodes during stretch.
Which height are they at and how much space y got to the roof?

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.
Ehh... is it not that Autos are MORE sensitive to light? I've just cut a plant down which has been described as "foxtail city". I was running 700-800 PPFD. It was way too much.

Saw your posts and i don't think the foxtailing wasn't that bad, like some told ya.
A couple of growers force foxtailing...and a lot more than it was on yours.
Foxtailing is resulting of too high temp/ leaf temperature, probably other factors.

What I could imagine why i was able to run autos on 20/4 with high ppfd's like 1.2k+ a couple of weeks is that my rh% was pretty high ~70%+ or and lower temps, heavy ventilation guided me through flower..but also had several crispy leaves.
Imo when the environment fits, y can roll also pretty well with higher intensities.

How high were your temps and rh?
High temps lead to foxtailing and burn your terps quick, so try to avoid it during flower.

Read years ago that autos can handle more light and less fertilizers and photos take more fertilizer and less light.
But it seems that fems do better in both, maybe also strain dependent.
After a research dealing now with fems it doesn't seem to be true, like micro suggests: ~600or ~650 ppfd for autos(20/4) and ~900 ppfd(18/6) for fems. It just a little less for autos in comparison to fems on 18/6.

Never the less, I blasted my autos with high ppfd in a 2x2, probably had less terps but the buds were still delicious and some of the biggest I've ever seen.
To be said, i had no clue and tried to push them as far I can.
Thought it's a good idea to do so, after speaking with some experienced growers🤡which also ran very high ppfd without co2(guess his case was with fems), without issues.

Environment is the key, fuck about vpd(or not¿), just play around and find out 🤪
I like to flex with my plants til they're going to break, so don't take me as a good example.

That's what growing is about and fails lead to wiser decisions in the next run and "maybe" resulting in more flavour and bigger yields.
Keep your chin up buddy and enjoy your weed soon! 😜👊

I've fucked it all in the freezer. Was attempting to dry in corner of tent but it wasn't happening. Bubble hash is something I'll have to learn to make.

Yeah I've been using pretty intense light and I can tell you it's not done me any good. Regarding quality control. I screwed this one up a bit too much because it vegged so heavily I essentially chopped 90% of fan leaves off by mid flower and of course from there any remaining began to perish. This left 70% of the bud immature but still clear trichomes.

Room temp is in winter now 18-21, humidity 70-80% -- it's a constant battle to reduce it where I am.

I had 750-850 PFFD, perhaps higher

Damn, but yeah that's what growing is all about, your next run gonna be 🔥 with that knowledge!

My conditions are pretty the same where I live.. don't like it at all. With a stronger & hotter light during winter would be nice, my temps are currently dropping with isn't a big deal but also in my mind to expose them a little cold to get some early colouring.

Doesn't sound too much tbh. but there are many variables which could lead to a different outcome..maybe too hard to archive for non commercial growers if the environment isn't on point.

Temps are dropping, in hope a little color will take place, then going to rise it up again.
Probably fucked up the finicky oreoz in the back due to too much stress...it start to get some brown pistils...hermas maybe already on their way 😣

Nice set up ...ive noticed brown , well orange hairs at week 4 of flower , it that a sign of stress.?
.i am pretty sure i stressed mine out last week with the light , xs1500 same as yours , and mine did stretch a bit too close so i dimmed the light down to 80% . ive been growing for 2 year like you and this is the first grow i havent stunted. although my set up is a bit more 'heath robinson' than the serious growers here.

Thank you
Yeah, early pistil browning can idicate herming. Check them for seeds/nanners.
I am using the old version which has a little more output and different %modes but yeah the light is powerful!
Are you checking your ppfd's?
I'd rise the left plant to archive the same height as the other. More yield and riped buds.
As long as your setup works, it's good to go.
Try to keep the rh% down to around 50% or less and it looks like y got a lack of air flow, weather on your light nor on the plant¿
If so you could run into bud rot, which can ruin your beauty's.

Very happy to see you're making your way through to a successful grow!
Keep on rockin', your plants look great! 🤩👌

Clones are still very wet, nothing changed, no roots but all look good.
The seedlings doesn't. So I put the tent on 20/4 by now.
Finally ordered new Stuff, the XS-1500 pro will replace china light and hopefully carry em through the babys through. Two of em are bummers(last ones), one fall over and the other one grew out runty with weird leaves.

yeah thats what mine are doing , in week 5 of flower, but they are autos so perhaps they are just getting on with it , i must admit my soil temp has been on the low side 20oc. and one of mine has a horrible brown spot problem, i think its magnesium uptake .

What are y feeding? Yea if def. looks like calmag issues. Would give em a big dose, they need it but don't feed it til the end.
E.g. if the plant needs 8 wks of flower then it's okay when the plant start to look shitty start WK6, feeding it too much til the end can cause harsh weed, so i'd stop using it after WK6.

Im growing in plagron batmix and feeding Plagron A+B for coco, plus silica, and for flowering i add some CXhead masta . i got some nute tip burn in veg so ive only been giving 1ml per litre . although my feed chart suggests 2-4ml during bud , i might have to up that especiallly now i am in bud. after messing up previous grows ive tried to keep this consistant .
ive got a fan in there .(last fall i lost one, my best looking one, to bud rot) ive managed to get the light up another few inches and at least things are not getting worse.

Sorry have been a little off..
Dunno about those products, but they seem to be strong..whatever fits, when y think they're fed then stay like this, if not try to raise it a little like 0,5, or in a week 1ml more.
How are y feeding the silica? As standalone or first in the solution?
CXhead also includes silicon so maybe y should take care when to feed what.
Last time y had but rot because lack of aeriation? Got a new one...if not same scenario will take place.

Finally got a new Light which fits my purposes on the output, Spider Farmer SE5000 480w, also two 6" SF fans.

Started with 50% on Friday ~600ppfd and every 24hours 5% more. Now at 65% ~800ppfd don't see any issues so far.
Maybe I go for 70 or max. 75 but by now I stay at 65%/ 312w.
By ramping up the light, the temps also went up to 76°f/ 24,5°c at rootzone :( also the humidity rises up to 70+ again... can't wait for the new inline fan.

Opend the window just a little temps outside are ~41°f/ 5°c and always high humidity 70-95%.
2 fans blowing strait on the driver one from the bot on from the top, shut off the radiator and my dehumidifier in the room. Fingers crossed I don't fuck everything off 😅
Clones are looking good, no changes. Seedlings died from the china light :(
My hope is on the clones now.

Made the last soft topdress with:
Rock phosphate
Mycorrhiza
Vinasse granules
Also fed 1,5l water & 3ml silica
Another 1,5l water:
6ml bloom
3ml Nirvana
3ml Bacteria
3ml SF
2ml pk
Carbo

Already seeing purple!? 🤩🥳
Will take a closer look on the others as well.

All stopped growing or stunted due to defol/cuts but it's okay..the buds still continue to form and will fetten up soon, still correcting their height with the scrog and some wires.

Really stoked about my clones, 5 rootet already, guess the others will follow up soon.
All look almost like on cutting time, could turn out way better than my expectations, maybe 8/10 🤔
They got foliar sprayed with rooting solution, fed with AE, root juice, grow and calmag.
Added a ventilator, covered it up to spread the wind to all directions. Works great!
They also receive a full spec light source now, viparspectra xs1500 pro with ~200ppfd.

Thanks buddy!
It's a pretty rough light when it comes to intensity, learned to handle it the hard way 🤣

Do you think ~200 ppfd could be too much for just rootet or still unrootet clones? I had around same PPFD with my burple light.
Needed more heat inside the tent so I did it on 50% and hung it kinda high to get more reflections resulting in more heat, and ofc the driver went hotter.
I'm going to check them everyday now, since I seen the white gold
