Hello fellow grower!
If you suspect stretching and are unsure about if she’s getting enough light I’d suggest that you measure how much light she actually receives so that you can adjust accordingly.
There are Apps that work quite good like Photone (both iOS and Android).
With a seedling you’re aiming at 200-300 µmol/m².
Happy growing!
@KingSalomonsWeed, thanks man. It's been tricky with the light. Last week I lowered it and turned the light to 50% and she started bending. She was standing on her own yesterday so going to start lowering it slowly
Looks good man. If you do not have them already get yourself a thermal laser gun and a PAR meter to get the most potential out of your lights onto your plants and to better read them. For that low wattage of LED's we want to get them as close as possible to get as much PAR onto those ladies as we can and get them growing good and vigorously. When cannabis plants get too much light they will fold their leafs inwards like a taco we call it " tacoing " they do this to shut down photo synthesis. Your temp gap between lights on and lights off is very good. We want to keep those temps close until we get past weeks 4 to 6 of flower this changes with autos but essentially if we expose cannabis plants to large temp swings while they have not yet finished their vertical growth it will cause them to stretch a lot. If we keep those temp gaps close no more than 10 degrees less when the lights go off we avoid that stretch. Once they finish their vertical growth we then begin to widen that temp gap and it will now signal them to put more energy into the budding process and resin production. It is a big missconception that lack of light intensity or light distance is the main cause of stretch. If you have not done so yet research VPD, Vapor pressure deficit and how it relates to growing cannabis. You can find some real useful charts out there to help dial your room right in. If you have any questions please feel free to ask check out my 200 light 7,000 plant diary and follow my profile & youtube for videos. Happy growing man!
@P_Silas, Thanks a lot! I put up a video on my youtube of it a full walk-through and my morning wake-up routine on one floor and the putting the room to sleep on the other floor make sure to check it out and subscribe for more!
@LegacyMarketFarm, thanks man, appreciate all the advice. I'll keep an eye out for tacoing and those temps. Will definitely read about VPD too, still lots to learn.
Your set up is crazy dude! Lol
