Week one got these clones transplanted into 6x6 cubes and under lights in the tent. I don't have much room for height this round so will be using trellis net and flowering around 14-16". Setup will be 6" intake fan and exhaust fan dampened down to just a slight negative air pressure. I topped these plants 2 days ago when I picked them up and I'm already seeing new growth.
Not too much growth heighthwise but stalks are fattening up nicely and new growth stacking on. I'm expecting these new branches to explode with growth this week. One of the banana mango phenos looked unhappy but has since perked back up. Just waiting for some height then we can flower.
What a warm week we've been having in California! 90 degrees in the tent yikes! Stalks on these plants are so fat! Finally got my ph dialed in so hopefully no more discolored leaves! I will be turning the light back to 12 hours on Sunday. I will be lollipopping the plants next week as well. They are finally starting to reach the trellis net so we can get them nice and opened up.
It's been such a blast growing hydro this round. These plants are solid. Fattest stocks I've ever had by far. I've increased feeding and no nutrient burn so I'm going to increase up to 8 mL on my nutrients next week. The plants have been getting tall so I've been tucking the tops back under the Scrog net and it's really opened the plants up and gotten better light exposure to other branches. The net really has been great for controlling canopy height and has really started to fill in. Will be defoliating in the next couple days on some of the bottom growth.
Full strength of nutrients were introduced this week. Everything under the trellis net is completely gone as well as some of the larger fan leaves up top that were shading buds. I'm hoping they don't get too much taller.
I used 580 tru watts of led upto week 6 flower and I built an actual room. I put one of my leds and added a 1000w hps with the eye hortilux super hps bulb, they seem very happy with the combo. Good luck and happy growing 🤙
@boyer209, the hydrofarn hood I've got now has glass and a vent on each side and a big one ontop so I rigged up a four inch line to pull air from the crawlspace and my 6" cloudline doing the work. I just ordered a legit cool tube hood so that needs to get here yesterday. Just started growing last October and I love it so much but damn it gets expensive.
@boyer209, thank you! I think there are big benefits to using the combination, gives your ladies much stronger spectrum. Side note, dealing with the heat issues I now have sucks 😑 here let's burn another thousand watts oh hey let's add an ac unit 24/7 too lol
