Great site, great posters, and great advice
In order to max yield, do buds need direct light? I ask because my plants are extremely bushy- 14"-16" tall, and 14" - 20" in diameter. They are healthy lush dense plants that seem almost impregnatable to the 400 HPS flowering them. Stems 3/4" diameter, 10 leaf sets, and almost no stretch. Will/should I tie the fan leaves back to increase potential, and /or yield?
2 grow areas. Veg room: 28" w x 29" d x 48 " tall. 2 @ 4 bulb 24" T5's.
Flower room: 40" w x 29" d x 68" tall. 400 HPS PL w/ air cooled reflector ( 246 cfm exhaust fan). Passive intake via vents in base of cabinet. Drip irrigation w/ 12 gal res w/ airstones for each cabinet. Continuous circulating fans each room. Temp 65-80F. Humidity 50 - 85% (reducing w/ additional exhaust in veg box). Flower room 50 - 70 RH. Ph 5.2- 5.8.
Rockwoolcubes on rockwool slabs. Increasing nute strength after being cautious during first 3 weeks. Read too many "FRIED MY PLANT" posts!!!!
BLZ bud and Power skunk strains.
1/1/09 germed
1/5/09 sprouted
1/27/09 alternate nodes
2/1/09 transferred to flower room.
2/4/09 White pistils and flowers
Numerous bud sites on top 6" of main stem, and buds on every branch node.
PS. I lurked here for 2 months reading every post back to 1/1/08! Outstanding site!
Thanks in advance.
