Looking good.
Those ppm’s are about to drop any time now to the point you’re going to need to watch them and feed them all individually different amounts to keep your ppm’s up, don’t let them drop to far because then you have to feed to much of a spike and that causes the nute burn.
What nutes are you using again @Bulldognuts?

I assuming your pushing 6.8 PH water into the ladies now that you see your run off is a tiny bit lower than you want? If not that’s my suggestion, once your in flower feed 6.5-6.8 nothing lower

You could force the shorty to stretch by backing off the light and turning the far reds off on that budget light (of yours has a switch to do that like mine does, it’s ussualy on the board it’s self tiny little plastic one)
The flip is going to make them all stretch though and when it happens they are going to ne nitrogen hungry for 2 weeks

Yes sir, I’ve been keeping separate record of ppms just haven’t been listing on updates. That’s one of the reasons I’ve said not going to grow more than 4 at a time. On first grow used Foxfarms Trio. Second grow the same, and at flower started dry nutes from FF.

The results of careful photo editing LOL. Adding the separate light for For Hardheaded Sally, my stubborn girl that refuses to grow, crowded things a little. But I believe it will be the best thing overall.

You’ve got to have good models to start, and you do!

I’m a night owl due to being on night shift. So I wanted to stay up this morning so I could check and make sure lights came on at the right time after resetting timer for flip. I’ve been asked about PLC Photo Boost strip light and what I thought about it’s performance. It has been difficult to say that they were giving superior performance over Budget LEDs. As I was standing there observing plants, well possibly admiring plants it occurred to me what the difference may be. Aside from the original LST I did, I haven’t really had to do any additional training of plants. I did have one girl that was ahead of the rest, but she was ahead of the rest from the beginning. When I saw she was pulling ahead I kept her to the edge of canopy to see if the rest would catch up. Really the only thing I’ve done is before flip is a minor bending of the tallest growths on that one plant. Now as I stood there I noticed how even the canopy was on all 6. The point of all of this is that the advantage of this light is nice even growth from side to side, and corner to corner. Hopefully if anyone else is considering these lights this will help in your decision. The red arrow is the big girl.

Nice, you definitely have every square inch of that tent filled up with photons and your canopy is the evidence. Great write up to bud, no b.s. just your honest opinion and experience with the lights so far. I dig it! The lights look great in the tent as well as all your even girls.

Awesome, the results speak for themselves, most people would spend hours creating a canopy like that, congrats, very nice looking, if only we could smell through the pictures, like a scratch and sniff, bravo @Bulldognuts.

Oh boy! You are getting me excited to complete my build now. I finished my power distribution yesterday, I’ll get pictures later. What wattage are you currently running your lights?

4 Likes

Haven’t checked wattage. Plan on getting a meter. I currently have lights at about 24" from canopy, well maybe a little less now due to growth. Just guessing I’ve got them at about 85% . Lux readings at 36000 to 39000.

@Bulldognuts I’ve been wondering how to " set to watching" thanks I needed that.

Are you using a app on your phone to get those readings?
