Hey @Se7en sorry to revive an old post, i have the same “regional difficulties” as yourself and biobizz seems to be my most grabable option. If going soil and photos what ones would you reckon i should go for?

Well. My plants stretched quite a bit. Was hitting them with 1100 ppfd for 20 hours on tops. Had to back off the light intensity. Don’t think the need over 60 dli

Wow, that’s super high unless you’re running CO2 in veg. I would recommend dropping that down to 850ish Growmie. I run a DLI of 45 max on autos under 18/6. Photos I’ll run relatively the same but a little higher…a DLI of 50 under 12/12. Keep an eye on them if you keep this intensity, symptoms will be bleaching and leaves standing straight up. They’ll also start producing a lot of resin to coat the leaves as a protective measure…kind of like sun screen for us :laughing::love_you_gesture:

I dropped it to 60 percent. Sitting about 800 at tops. The afghani was starting to pray a bit but after a few hours at lower intensity they all look great.

Well. Humidity is in check. I can’t get lights off 10 degrees cooler but I can get it about 5 lower. I did two things.

Moved the exhaust to rear of tent opposite of intake. Complete opposite side of tent. Inside front right. Exit back left of tent. Before it was in right front out left middle. Always in low out near top.

Haircut. Now I can watch the humidity in the tent follow the dehumidifier, even if ac is not on at the time.

Got my wrench to open the canna 5 liters. Might go to three feedings a day now that I’m dialed in on the humidity and auto watering.

Is it crazy to do two waters w 5 runoff and a third with 10 percent each day?

The stretch period consumes a lot Growmie, keep doing what you’re doing…it’s working perfectly :love_you_gesture:

Absolutely. The stretch is going to make your girls drink drink drink. This part of the brew is a treat. Watching them thing shoot to the roof! You’ve got your temps and humidity under control. Now just sit back and watch her thrive and explode. :pray:t2::saluting_face:

Thinking I might do a trellis net. I might need to lower the plants off the milk crates. Hope they stop stretching. My light is near top of tent. I know it looks far but I’m about 18 inches from canopy.

If you have clips or something to pull them down you can keep fighting her. As long as she hasn’t hardened off too much already.

Found some 13 inch plant risers on Amazon. They are 3 inches tall. Going to take the plants off the milk crates and that should buy me 10 inches.

I’m less worried about plants burning than I am about getting even light distribution. I’d rather have lights at higher intensity, further away covering a larger portion ing my tent than having the lights really close.

I think that the larger plants are finished w the stretch. I’m getting some bud sites.

Was very nice to fill up my 1 liter canna coco bottles from the 5 liter. Talk about a savings but I can’t believe I had to buy a special wrench. .

90 bucks total for 5 liters each vs about $ 35 for 1 liter of each.

Now to buy another round of boost. That stuff is pricey but I’m reading there is no equal substitute.
Cheers.

Here’s where I am.

Went ahead and got some sumo active boost. They claim it’s the same as canna boost. Time will tell. It’s a ton cheaper.

Here’s a daily pic. Humidity well under control and it’s been warm and rainy for a few days.

Got these plant stands. 4 total for now.
Pretty fancy but it’s all I could find that had a large base and shorter height.

A hobby thats all around therapeutically satisfying…My autos did the same last year about. They where happy enough. And all the girls grew to be beautiful. Patience is key. Even though things feel or may look urgent. Haste will waste your crop, more often then not. I know youve probably heard this. But its never a bad reminder. Happy growers grow happy plants! So be happy and good vibes to em. They will respond with something thats gotta do with the dmt in everything.

Ok. Was looking at my plants checking for hermies. On green crack cbd auto I have small yellow patches on top of each cola. I cannot see a banana etc but the color concerns me. I’ve zoomed in as much as possible. Is this a concern or just new growth? This is all I can see.
