Welcome to my White Widow XXLFemale diary from Barneysfarm.
So, skipping a week to try catch up. For some reason, I keep forgetting to update this diary..
Flipped her on wk 6 as I did with most of my fems. 2-3 were kept in veg under a 100 watt for an extra week. This girl went with the others. So, she took a week or so, to prep herself to flip. She needed more growth.. also got hit with a heavy dose of fungus gnats and in the process of trying to rid myself of them, methods I had to use caused me some light cal/mag issues from feeding from the bottom up, and caused other problems. It's the price to keep my girls alive while getting rid of my gnats. Was able to keep a steady temperature through the pre flower process so she's in lovely form. Is about a week or 2 ahead and has nice bud sites. (Will see when I update from my notes from next week) at the moment I'm dealing with a lot of issues. I've 17 girls to look after. And this one has been so trouble free I practically was forgetting to update her diary. She is doing great. This week, you see her and she's into pre flower about 5 days on day 49 total.. took a bit longer to flip then the others as she was a ways behind but she caught up without me having to veg her longer. I did lollipoppoing in wks 6 during the flip so will add them for this week. And adjusted LST ties. Used cal/Epsom salts during week 6 and is due another bioenhancer feed this week. Hoping she'll last with what's in her pot (nutrient wise), if needed I have short flowering powder to add for a quick fix, as adding the biobloom powder will take a few days to take hold. Hopefully I won't need to. But, if it comes down to that last and most important 2 weeks during ripening, you do not want days for nutrients to kick in. So, always have a backup if you are running full soil or dry additive grows.
Plants are living on a very minimal diet atm.. gnats are getting smaller and smaller in traps. So looks like coming to the end. Still see the odd 1 fly by. But they are half the size they were. So no eggs, I've put tents into lockdown.. so there's some autos that are under a 12-12 and there's not much I can do about it.

FC 3000 & MARSHYDRO LIGHTS
The FC 3000 300w it has a high ppfd 1525 umol/s, 2.85 efficacy and has the new UV addition which brings it closer to the (RA) spectrum, that's the Sun spectrum. The FC-FC-E has this, Also it has a much even PPFD making for a more evenly grown canopy and has a deep penetrative light as it allows you to move the light closer to your canopy with a reduced risk of light stress. The TS versions are a great light to. These are different though. As they have a much higher ppfd in the middle, so I suggest you rotate them plants and move em about to get the best out of the high PPFD
I'm thinking in to getting a uvb fixture too, read an article from dutch passion that increases certain terpenes like myrcene and lymonene in 40 to 50% when added in late flowering πͺ
Wish you all the best buddy ππ
