@love_2_grow,Thanks! Actually almost to harvest with these two and typically keep my notes in a paper journal. I was doing some strain research for my next grow and saw this site. I love it. You will see my harvest shortly!
looks like some big buds man. I find when we expose cannabis plants to temps over 82 when their flowering the buds get huge but are very airy and prone to foxtail. In all the experience I have and rooms I have worked the best buds seem to form at around 80-82 and no more than 9 degrees less with lights on for the first 4 to 6 weeks of flower. Once the plants are done growing vertically by that point we drop the temps down to around 77 lights on and begin widening the gap with lights off to 10 degrees and more. This sends extra energy into the budding process and resin production. Big buds are awesome but weight comes from density. IF you do not have them already get yourself a PAR meter and a thermal temp gun to read your plant tops and get the most potential out of your lights without overdoing it. When you manage flower properly you can form your buds up big and then get them to finish up nice and dense. I also find the cake on the plants does not form up nearly as much when exposed to high temps late into flower. Keep up the good work man & If you get the time check out my 200 LED light 7,000 plant diary and follow my profile. If you ever have any questions do not hesitate to ask.
@LegacyMarketFarm, Thank you for the info - much appreciated. My HDS ballasts have variable output settings and I usually turn them down later in the grow - to help mirror a bit with what you are recommending. It has worked well for me in previous grows - no burn or foxtailing. I had a tremendous single plant grow I plan to post that netted me 17oz dry which I plan to post at some point. I do love the detail you have shared and will incorporate into my next grow for sure.
Unfortunately - I had an unexpected death in the family a few weeks ago and my attention to detail lapsed quite a bit - completely missed on turning it down. Have the temp gun, but the PAR meter is a great suggestion and one I'll look into. Thanks again and will certainly check out your grow.
