nice looking plants

Hey man. Nice looking tent & the plants look very healthy as well! Would it be alright with you if I offered some pointers to help out ? So cannabis plants love heat and humidity it is the buds that hate it. We get much more vigorous healthy growth if we expose them to temperatures they are more comfortable with at this stage. In veg and early flower low 80's work great with lights on and no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. We want to keep a nice tight temp gap between day and night cycle because if we expose the plants to temp swings beyond 10 degrees less when the lights go off, It will signal the plants to stretch. Most forms of stress on a cannabis plant will signal it into thinking it needs to hurry up and get ready for the end of the season as its genetic instincts are to reproduce. Being a species with male / female and dependent on pollen transfer & casting out of seeds a lot of its genetic responses to stress will react in these ways. In veg & early flower it will cause stretch as the plant will want to get nice and tall to cast its seeds out far and wide. We minimize this by the reduction of all stress in the rooms in veg & early flower and tight temp gaps. Once the plants have finished growing vertically by weeks 4 to 6 of flower its genetic responses to stress change. By this stage now its goal is to make nice big flower clusters to produce seeds in and to get as sticky as it can in order to attract pollen successfully. So once we past that time of vertical growth being completed, We then want to open up that temp gap wider and wider each week beyond 10 degrees less when the lights are off and more. The school of growing I come from this is what LST means, Low stress training. This term is used broadly by people to describe plant training but that is all we ever referred to it as, Training. Low stress training in the ways I am speaking of are environmental signals we want to send to the plant through certain stresses to indicate the end of the season is near and it wants to start doing what it needs to do to finish up really nice. Colder room temps, Wider gaps in temp between lights on and lights off, Light deprivation to simulate cloud cover, Colder feed temps are all great things to do this that happen naturally out in the real world but we must simulate them ourselves in our grow rooms. Right now your temp gap is nice and tight which is great. Good work with that, Although your temps overall are a bit too cold for this stage. We have found through experience buds grown at lower temps will be super caked & very dense but you lose out on a lot of size. The happy medium of size & density seems to be grown with lights on temps of 77-80 and no higher. Anything over 80 you begin to get bigger buds but they will be very airy and prone to foxtail and never cake up as much as ones grown at lower temps. If you have yet to do so research VPD, Vapor pressure deficit and how it relates to growing cannabis. Also I would recommend to get yourself a thermal laser temp gun like the fluke 62 MAX and a PAR meter to better help you read your plants and get the most potential from your lights.

Happy growing man

Good luck and happy growing 😊🙌👊

Looking nice ✌️👽👍

Very nice Don. 👌

Looking tasty buds bro 😎 nice job my friend 👏👌

Super caked! Great work my friend for your first harvest

Good luck with your gro! 😎
