Ripen!
More and more calyx's every day 😍
Couple shots of the foxtails - crazy frosty ❄️❄️❄️
They are right at 10'' from lamp - not much I can do other than do better, and be a little faster, next grow! I won't be doing anything fancy or experimental with my seedlings, no shared DWC for veg. Will keep it simple and go from humidity dome tray to 5gl buckets. Once I move and have more space, I will revisit the shared DWC tub for early veg - speed up the perpetual cycle a little bit.
If there had been no issues or wonkiness this grow, I might consider some HST to even things out a bit, but alas - its just too risky this grow. I would just end up with more seeds.

The one big gal got her second dose of Ripen nutrients midweek (5ml - feed chart in germ week). Flush this weekend! The other big gal MIGHT make it the entire 63 days - will keep an eye on trichomes!
The one gal smells like sweet lemon drops and has LOTS of color - the others have the typical diesel/fuel. Guessing its the Lemon Thai? Night and day difference between her and the 4 others 🤷♂️🏻
Some branches were started to sag on me so I used some soft plant ties and secured them to primary satellite branches.
@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!
