9/10:
New week...good progress.
I'll probably transplant them into pots in a couple of days.
They are looking a little deficient, so I'll give them full strength nutes soon.
9/11:
I waited to long to transplant them and they have root problems to some degree or another...too wet for too long.
I transplanted both of them into 3 gallon pots and observed about 50% brownish roots on the bigger one. π
I powdered the planting holes with myco, tricho, and other goodness.
I added two Mars Hydro 150w lights, and a 60w 6500k LED panel light since they are all spread out now. The average CCT is still a little over 4800k, even though the Mars are a little warmer color temp than the Viparspectras.
9/12:
Between the root problems and the transplant, they looked horrible, so I sprayed them with BoomBoom Spray today and will do a good root drench tomorrow with BushDoctor Boomerang.
They looked better by the end of day, but still have a ways to go to get back on track...
9/17:
I fed them boomerang only twice this week, and gave also them kangaroots yesterday. They are both still a little droopy looking, but they are growing..
I'll prolly flip to 13/11 with emerson effect in the next couple of days.
Happy growing! I hope you get some good results! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
Peace & Love - L.S.T ππΌπ
@Silverback_Guerilla, understood.. I have seen some of the exact things you are talking about.. I may pick up 4 of the 4 ft bars.. thanks for the wisdom mateyπ€π€
@Theia, Yes, or side lighting that illuminates the lower parts of the plants under the thickass canopy...
It's not necessary if your walls have reflective surfaces and you don't have plants jammed in tight, but if your floor is dark, any additional light down below supplies photons to the leaves, which provides more energy for the plants. Plus, those little larfy buds harden off a bit better. I usually just mount side lighting in the form of 120cm (4') bar lights velcro'd or zip-tied to the horizontal tent poles..but in my closet, I just lay them across the tops of the pots facing upwards. A pair is 60-80 watts, and you can get them with mixed spectra +660nm diodes pretty cheap on ebay or amazon now:

They also sell 2' versions of the same that are about 18-20w each, and you can chain them together like the 4' versions. The backside/heatsink gets hotter than their faces and they don't burn up plants if touching. They only have a beneficial amount of PAR out to about 18", and really only about 4" is strong enough to swell up flowers any bigger than they would have, but your little buds and lower leaves won't be chlorotic looking from lack of light, and your plants will get a little energy boost.
I actually had 4 of the 40w double-row v-shaped 2700k bars velcro'd to my horizontal tent poles, and 2 more velcro'd to vertical corner poles in my 5'x4' tent at one point. I had them on a timer and ran them about half of their day, and during little intervals where I had the timer turning off my main top lighting to mitigate high temps. Even though it isn't "intense" lighting, it's enough to see real gains in overall production if you can turn your larfy shit to dense little popcorns.
