Sun afternoon, they are moving!
They are looking beautiful. Love the difference in structure/leaves between the Sativa (Zamadelica, front right) and all the other Indica/Hybrids. So stark, what a fantastic plant. The God Particle, top left, is still being slightly odd but getting on with things so leave her to it and others are vigorous to say the least. Pinot #2, bottom left, lagging behind for obvious reasons.
LST is looking ok and definitely growing nicely in to shape but could be better in places for sure. Some so large now that I need to pull down from outside with ties maybe or could it be time for trying the LST clips? Scary.
I think I now recognise the benefits of what topping could do with some LST for a more uniform plant. Next grow maybe? To be fair they'll be fine but good to learn and understand these things more as you grow.

Light is up to lvl 9 now (around 610 PAR) directly underneath in the middle) and sitting at 2ft or thereabouts above the canopy. They are all straining in towards the centre. Will be up to 10 tomorrow I think then should be ok till new one arrives later this week...
PLS GOD HURRY UP! Have I mentioned the new light before... ?
As 5/6 are now flowering I've been starting to try and move the environment slowly towards flowering conditions (so ballparks off 40-50% humidity and slightly lower temps if needed 65F-80F). Particularly as I have one left in veg (the Pinot #2) so trying to give it as much veg envn as possible before I switch fully over. So to that aim I've begun to drop the humidity slightly day by day. Was at 62%, currently at 57%. This with keeping the temp where it was (at the moment) I'm trying to get it into its new VPD range of 1.2 - 1.5. Will take a while but slowly moving towards it this week which is fine.
Let's not talk about me getting my temps/VPD muddled up for a day and dropping that which lowers the VPD, instead of raising the temp which increases the VPD. And opposite for humidity! Anyway, back on the right track now...
Fantastic guide and charts here which might be of use to others:

Anyway, hope everyone else had a great weekend and happy growing...
