Day 50 of flower and things are doing good. It get cold here at night(20’s) and with the tents being in my basement, the temps have been dropping into the low 60s or even high 50s when the lights would go off at night. So rather than run a heater at night I changed the veg tent to run throughout...
10cm (4”) is quite close for a seedling. Raise up as high as you can and it should recover in a day or two.
Also your temps are very low. With LED you want to be between 27°-29°c (80°-84°f)
No worries! It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of lighting options out there. Lights are all about how much money you can spend but the #1 thing to look for is a an LED fixture that uses Full Spectrum White LEDs.
9x6 is a large area to light properly. A good rule of thumb for LED is...
Definitely need to know the size of the area your growing in to recommend a quality light.
That said, don’t buy the light you have linked or anything that uses the old Red/Blue LEDs. They’re junk and you can get something much better for the same amount of money.
I use 3 carrots in my 7g pots so I’d think 5-6 carrots should do well in a 15g. I place mine in a triangle pattern to try to get the water to spread evenly. Trial and error is what it takes to dial these in so don’t just set it up and leave thinking it’ll be ok. I do use the Blumat Trompf so it...
Day 24 in the flower tent. The stretch is over and bud development has kicked into gear. Top dressed the plants a few days ago with Dr. Earth Flower Girl and some Earth Worm Castings. Other than some EWC tea and a shot of Big Bloom here and there, the tent will be on cruise control with just tap...
It doesn’t need to run all the time, thats why you have the controller. It will cycle the fan on and off as your temps and rH hit whatever limit you set it too. If your passive intake vents are open, the fans you have inside the tent circulating the air will draw in fresh air while the inline...
Buds are curing in jars and the reset on the flower tent is complete. I lollipopped the plants best I could and took some clones off the bigger, faster growing Putang.
Putangs are bottom left and right. Jah Kush cross top left, Lemon Haze Bagseed top right. Photo is day 7 of flower.
Clones...
Interesting topic and great find on the article! I read it and in this study it definitely shows an increase in THC and CBD production from the plants put through the controlled drought conditions compared to the ones who were not. A pretty significant increase at that too.
“THC: 50% higher...
I ended up letting the plants flower for almost 2 more weeks as they really slowed down on finishing. I only saw about 10-15% Amber when I cut them cause the plants in my veg tent are getting too big. They’ve been drying for 9 days and still have a couple more to go before I trim and jar them up...
