After some serious user error I finally finished my new set up with the help of this amazing community, of course! Setting up the tent was a struggle, still not sure if it’s right lol
I am half way into my third grow. I have 2 sour diesel, runtz muffin, wedding cake, and a train wreck clone.
I trained the skirts off the sour diesels topped, lst, lollipopped, and I just super cropped? to even out the canopy. Been vegging for 2 months. Unfortunately, they are to big to make it into my new 4x4 tent. Like, 3 feet wide! So, these 2 will stay in the shed under the blurples, still 956 watts from the wall.
I will give them 3-4 days to recover from today then they get the flip. Nervous for the stretch.
In the 4x4 I have the runtz, wedding cake, and trainwreck clone vegging under the hlg 600 rspec. They will continue to veg until I almost fill up the 4x4. The clone will get transplanted tomorrow. It was raining today and I was lazy. I know, I know, typical stoner……
I have a fan in the top corner of the tent oscillating. I had it on 2 because the hlg gets so hot. I just turned the fan down to low.
It doesn’t look like wind burn, but I don’t know.
Temps have been constant 76-78 F and humidity is 57%.
The tops of the leaves feel dry. I hope they are just getting use to the new light
I used 5 an 7 gallon fabric pots , plants that size I will slow water about a gallon an get about a 10 to 20% runoff . They should perk back up after a good watering.
With the high prices of hlg lights you would think they would include an “acclimation period” in their user manual. I think it would be helpful to new growers.
Should I top my plants a second time to remove the damage from the light burn? The light is currently 28in from the top of the plants at 30% power. I have no way I can think of to raise the lights up anymore.
You can always top any branch the same way as you do the main stem, I’m thinking that you need to find a way to lift your light you’ll need to be able to have more space eventually. Do you have a shorter tent is that the problem?
@MeEasy
My tent is 7 feet tall. I just moved the plants from under blurples and put them in a 4x4 tent. I greatly underestimated the power of hlg lights and burnt my plants
@Jake3
I was going to transplant the plant in the 1 gallon into a 5 gal tomorrow and let it get a bit bigger. It’s a trainwreck clone. So, maybe start flowering them in 3 weeks.
I may have to lst the tops, but I’ve been giving them silica and the stems are hard and woody already.
This is how I have the lights currently. Is there somewhere I can buy shorter ratchet straps to hang the light?
I would allow the plants to grow and leave the leaves on there unless they brown real bad to where they’re not doing the plants any good anymore. It looks like that’s as high as you’re going to get the light mine has long ass cables so thought yours would be to. I just bought some chain to make mine more adjustable I had it on four of the ratchet ropes but didn’t like it
