This is the last flowering week for the plants and the room smells very intense.
Flower development is very good down to the lower parts of the plants
The ripening stage is well advanced and the plants are ready for harvest.
By skipping fertilization, the plants have noticeably lost color and the leaves have turned autumnal.
The plants are getting very little water at 500ml per day per plant and are being forced to dry out.
The EC value this week is 0.4 and the pH 5.8.
Try shoring up those temp fluctuations between lights on and lights off. More than 10 degrees less when the lights are off before their done growing vertically will give us a lot of unwanted stretch. Once that vertical growth is done we want to then open up that temp gap to stress them out and signal them to put extra energy into the budding process and resin production. The more we baby them and keep those temp gaps close through veg & early flower it will have a much more explosive impact when we want it to.
Nice tent man, If you do not have them already get yourself a thermal laser temp gun & PAR meter to better read your plant tops. Those lights should be closer to be getting as much PAR onto those plants as they can take. Keep up the good work, Check out my 200 light 7,000 plant diary & follow my profile and youtube for videos!
@sanlight, Sounds interesting, Considering your plants are extremely stretched towards the apex colas. I looked back at your temps. Your stretch is coming from opening up your temp gaps too early in flower to more than 10 degrees less with lights off. At week 4 that strain must have still had vertical growth to complete and that temp gap stretched them for sure. I also looked closely at your photos I do not see any sun grip light pullys to raise & lower your lights do you utilize these? They help a lot. Just trying to help friend! We do not want to waste energy and resources growing stem & having giant node gaps like that its power, food, time wasted.
Happy Growing!
@LegacyMarketFarm, thank you for you comment. The purpose of this tent was NOT to have the fixtures at full power. And yes we have spectrometers and laser temp guns. =)
