Extending Flower by one week and shooting for 63 days.
The three smaller gals will definitely go the full 9 weeks - the two larger gals are a different story. One looks like she'll track just fine, but the other started to fade and is even starting to show cloud. Could have given her too much bloom nutrients on accident( P Toxicity?), or she's just reacting a little differently to the amount she's been given as compared to the other plants. This has been a fairly inconsistent grow, so it wouldn't surprise me either way.
Buds are really starting to fatten up! We have new calyx's popping out, and are heading towards ripen. Might have to cut one or both of the large gals short - we'll start checking trichomes soon! (All of them being slow starters + 3 falling behind made this a bit tricky, but I think we got it!)

First larger-scale QWISO. Used 2oz of some lower quality stuffs, yielding 7.2g's - Looks & Tastes Fantastic!

One of the two big gals is putting out some foxtails. Not at all surprised since they have been at about 10'' from lamp for quite some time now - not to mention all the other shenanigan's this grow.
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, Hey that sounds nice, haha! I wouldn't really know - PTSD / Attachment disorder kind of stole my chances at a care-free childhood. Always something to worry about, OOF! 😂😂😂
Hey! Good luck with your grow!
I'm a brand-new first-time grower using the exact same lights as you (XS2000). I'm wondering if you could answer a few questions for me?
1. Do you follow the XS2000 manual for light intensity % and light distance?
2. When the seeds have germinated and are sown into their first soil, what % intensity and distance do you keep them?
3. When the seeds have sprouted and are seedlings, what distance do you keep them and at what light intensity %?
4. When do you increase light intensity/distance?
Thank you so much!
@RndmGrwr, That can certainly be improved upon by the way. This is my 2nd grow and that's where I'm at currently 😃
Feel free to PM if you have any more questions!
@RndmGrwr, For seedlings I've been doing 30'' at 50% till week one, then 75%. Week 2 up it to 100%. Week 2-3 I drop down to 22'' for veg. That's technically within the recommended for these lamps. When it comes to flower however, I'm like most growers and try to push the limits - get the most I can out of them. I saw some burn my first grow around 12'' and 14'' but I still had some excess chlorine/chloramines to take care of in my tap water (week 10).
This grow I'm starting flower out at 15'' - I let them grow into it these last two weeks with no issues so far, well see it how goes! (You'll see a lot of people trying to push 6-12'' for flower, and sometimes you can get away with it, light/genetics/care depending. Best to start high and work your way down). You have one light / four plants, so keep your 4x3 spread in mind - too close and the outer edge of each plant will miss out, so I would stay around 18-20'' till the chop. Hope this helps growmie - good luck!
