Strong
Wide variation in flowering time and cola development between two plants. One seed matured in 8 weeks of flower while the other required 11 weeks to finish. Responded well to topping and SCROG. Two very different plants despite the same strain. Grew very short for me under white LEDs.

Item 1 of 3
Ready for harvest looking at pistils
Frosty colas from the UV lights? Don’t know if they helped.
Nutrients
This stuff is the bomb for seedlings and root growth in veg. I like to use it for foliar feeding too.
Some difficulty with getting powders to dissolve in water.
Lights
Too bad COBs are old technology and R.I.P. Timber Grow Lamps. Love my lights still, but I wish I had a little more red for flowering. Next grow I plan to add an 80watt Kind LED X Bar with flowering lights. That will bring my total lighting in the flower tent to 425 watts. (320 watts Timber, 25 from AC Infinity sidelights, and 80 watts with Kind LED. That’s over 50 watts per square foot, so I can’t blame lighting.
Tents
Fantastic tent. I wondered if stepping down from a Gorilla would tarnish my experience, but this is every bit as good of a tent.
Relatively small buds, but I also topped these plants three times.

Grow Questions
T_Dubstarted grow question 2 years ago
My 4 week old plants have 7 nodes, but they are only 6.5 inches tall. Is this short spacing between nodes good or bad? I am giving my plants 45,000 lux worth of light…should I dim it to encourage more stretch? Or is a short and bushy plant going to work out ok for a scrog?
Solved
Plant. Spaces between nodes

Looks like it's ready to be topped and defoliated. Get those big shade leaves out of the way of light for your future branches that are hidden behind them.
Yeah, you could dim the light to make them stretch, for sure. Just make sure you monitor it. If the branches stretch too much, they won't be able to stand on their own, let alone hold buds.
I hope this helps.

I would appreciate another set of eyes to tell me if the harvest window is open on my Blue Dream. Leaves and pistils say yes, trichomes say “maybe”. This is a 7-9 week flowering strain and I’m starting week #11 tomorrow. I just moved her to a dark tent for 48 hours of darkness

If you're not looking for heavy amber, I would chop her now! (I don't think a period of dark does anything, personally)... Chop, chop.... and enjoy the smokes!
Good luck and congrats!

@@T_Dub, I'm very glad that you're getting such good results. Do you own experiments with exposure time and distance until you get the results you're looking for (= I will come back to check your final result and read about the smoke report. Congrats friend wish you all the best on future 😉

@HappyWeeds, UV lights are already making a noticeable difference even after one week at three 10-minute sessions per day. Wow! Thanks for the inspiration! My tent is so small that the LED light blocks much of the UV, but those buds receiving UV definitely have higher trichome density. 1-2 more weeks of this should really be impactful. Thanks again!

@Cyrusdavirus, that’s funny! I’ve always grown without a net too, and I really miss being able to take the plants out of the tent for easy manicuring.
I was in a larger tent historically, so I didn’t need to worry about efficiency.
You have some beautiful grows….whatever you’re doing is working!

@@T_Dub, I live dangerously 😵💫 I grow without a net 😆
I've never tried to use a net, I'm fat and crippled so I don't think I could keep the bottoms clean, not being able to crawl around under the net. But I would like to try it sometime because I've seen some amazing grows with a net and I mean amazing

@Cyrusdavirus, LOL, I hope you’re right!
Being my first scrog, I’m not really sure what to expect. Hoping to pick up some height in the next two weeks.

They are beautiful! Keep doing what you are doing as the plants appear to be loving it! I use UVB also, from MIGRO. My tent is short (63" or so... ). MIGRO recommends 18" above canopy for no more than an hour. I found it works well, but use it less than 30 minutes daily to prevent burn... It's important to work your way up to the exposure level you find works best. https://migrolight.com/products/migro-uvb-310-fixture-and-fluorescent-tube - Reptile/Amphibian bulbs work as well... Your grow is amazing! Great job!

@MarcGrows, thanks for the tips MarcGrows! The UV has been a great addition. I went with an Agromax bulb since I could use my Hydrofarm T5 fixture……same idea.
I’ve been doing three ten minute sessions to match up with your experience at 30 minutes total.
I’m going to four ten-minute sessions this week. Appreciate the input! Thanks again.

@MarcGrows, thank you! I will check out that light, and if there’s any room in my little tent for another bulb I may give it a test. Thanks again!!

@@T_Dub,It depends from the strain I guess, also had blue dream from nirvana beautifull SCROG 2 plants 120cmx60cm tent I was proud of them but my light timer was leaking and got seeds everywhere.
It might be my next one ,tastes real good and the smell of blueberry haze and lemon😍
GSC is not that eager that’s why I put 6 It might not turn out into a SCROG after all, I’m still going to use the net though!

@yan402,thank you Yan.
SCROG has proven to be easier than I expected, and it’s definitely looking like it will be a higher yield per plant for me.
Good luck with your grow too!

@Cyrusdavirus, thanks Cyrus! The harvest today had a lot of larfy buds down low, so I could have been done a lot better.
I need to chop off more lower branches next time. I learned a lot this grow and I’m pleased to make it to harvest. On to the next one.
