Hello growers and welcome to my first journal!
As of Dec. 16th we are on Day 13 of flower. These plants have been vegging for several months. The plan is to flower for 2-3 weeks under a 400w Hortilux Eye HPS at the 300w setting, then step it up to a brand new 600w bulb to finish them out. The 400w bulb has been used for 2 previous flower cycles so it's time to replace it. The Lumatek digital ballast has 300w, 400w and 600w settings, however I've only ever used up to 400w. I'm curious to see how an additional 200w influences yields and overall quality.
I've grown all these strains outdoors with good success but never indoors so I'm excited to see how they do under lights. My technique is fairly basic using soil in 5 gallon pots, ScrOG for tall / leggy strains, defoliation and some LST. I use a mix of nutrients depending on what I have on hand. I'm considering switching to coco and a drip system in the new year (likely FloraFlex) but for now, let's sit back over the next 8 weeks or so and watch these ladies do their thing!
