During week 7 all remaining plants grow tremendously in height and start to develop nice white flower crowns. All have a healthy green color, which means the BIO NOVA nutrients work well. At this stage my two SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs are dimmed to 100% (=THREE GREEN lights ON on the magnetic dimmer at the side of the lamp, see pics). They hang at 30 cm from the top of the plants and are tilted inwards by 11 degrees. One 'The PURPS'-plant from BC-BUD-DEPOT and the STRAWBERRY-SOUR-DIESEL from Devilharvestoriginal Seeds have grown so tall, that I need to super-crop the plants. I take the stem appr. 25 cm from the top, right above a node, and press the stem until I feel the fibers inside brake, then I BEND the stem until it points downwards or at least 90 degrees sidewards. This way I can stop the upward growth without having to top the plant. The bend will heal and the stem will turn upwards again and then the top buds can still develop nicely. This technique is called super-cropping and is promoted by SOMA from SOMA-Seed, I LOVE to do it and have made the best experiences with it.
@Compassionate_Gardener, Mahalo for your kind words, man! 🙏 I loved this round with my new SANlight EVO4-120 lamps...they id an OUTSTANDING JOB! Aloha! 👊😎
@GrownwithLED, WOW...what an GREAT outcome! The buds look AMAZING...the amount of trichomes is INSANE, especially on the Blue Mint plant! Well done...GREAT job! 👍😎
Good looking Hydro setup! Nicely done! I have a few runs of Purps under my belt. Always see those GIANT leaves. Love the growth and taste of that strain! Enjoy! 😎
@LegacyMarketFarm, Hi, there! I find it to be AWESOME...simply THE BEST! She produces a sweet, grape-candy like aroma, that transcends into the flavor when smoked. You can taste it in the inhale and exhale...she taste sooooooooo DELICIOUS! Thats why she won several High Times Cannabis Cups. I can STRONGLY recommend her! Aloha, GrownWithLED.
@GrownwithLED, How did you find the terp profile of it ? I have always had interest in growing a batch of this strain. If you got the time check out my diary & follow my profile. Let me know what you think! Happy growing man
hey there,
Great set up you have got there!
Always curious about the Sanlight, they have plenty power for your growtent.
But I think you should hang them 20 cm higher and see how that works out !
I think you will like the results because as your pictures show they had a lot of light stress.
More is not always beter, myself bought recently a Telos 010 pro and it burned all my seedlings @ 120 cm,
I had to learn my ways around a quality fixture that's all.
Now? I'm loving it, not only in yield but special in the quality of the buds.
Be Well and grow it!
@SanderanderS, HI, there! Thanks for your kind words and also the tips about the lights. I had the SANlight EVO4-120 lamps dimmed throughout veg. and beginning of flowering, therefore I dont think they had light stress. After my plants showed yellowing and some crispy leaves I checked my ph-meter and calibrated it again. It was off by a full PH-point! That means I fed them with ph=5,0 instead of ph=6,0 and that brought my soil out of balance and the plants could take up nutrients anymore...
