Plant is doing ok. I topped it at node 3 instead of 4 to see how this goes. Seems stunted a bit, though I should mention that this switched into flowering much earlier than I thought it would. I decided to tie this one down and see how it goes as an experiment.
@@Chi_Town_White_Boy, yeah crazy how much alike while being grown completely different! I didnt top mine this time but was thinking she wouldn't like it, going to do some serious training on her next time tho. I got 2 100watt cobs cree cxb3590 and a 100 watt quantum board in the middle. The quantum board has a wider spread so i can cut a cob out and still have okay light. I love it compared to my viparspectra, less heat, easier on the eyes also.
@RyukyuFarmer, no kidding! They almost look like the same plant! 😁 I'm going to give this strain another go. I topped at 3rd node on accident. I'm not 100% sure how much of a difference it'll make waiting til 4th node -- these plants seem to switch to flower very fast. I wonder if any topping or HST will cause low yields? Not sure. But I LOVE the smell and flavor to this bud. It's not fully cured, but it tastes great! Does your smell just like fruity berries, too? BTW - your Northern Lights kicked ass! I've got 3 ViparSpectra 300W (uses ~130w) and 1 PerfectSun MINI. I haven't done a lot of testing yet between the lights, but ViparSpectra has given me decent yields when I grow right. Do you notice a big diffference between your Vipars and your COB? And how are you doing the COB? Just ordering one at a time and powering a few of them in a custom built frame or something? I'll have to do some research on them...
I like your picture 👌🏻👍🏻 I like pictures of nice strains with natural light . But damn some ledlights give such effects, good job again bro respect 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻
@HylianGrass, Thanks brother! I agree -- the purple lights are terrible for pictures! Especially for getting pictures of purple buds!!!
I've got another one of these girls growing right now. Hoping it's another purple pheno and I can get some massive buds off her this time! 😋
I have pretty much the same set up going. I just started week 2. My last reading was PPM 240 before I changed the reservoir. Plants were thriving so I up'd it to 480ppm this week, which is still using nutes at 1/2 strength. My tap water is 100PPM. Good luck on the grow, I'll be following along!
@Bakelsack, sounds like an awesome start! I'm coming along with your grow as well! I love to get ideas from other growers, and there aren't a whole lot of hydro growers here compared to soil or coco. I'm using RO water, and am getting a new 20 gal tank tomorrow 😅 I'll be keeping an eye on yours to see what to expect with mine! Good luck with the grow!
