Welcome to my Jungle Lava Diary. Sponsored by Original Sensible Seeds and Mars Hydro.
Flowering Days 79-85.
Hmmmmm. Think I messed up. Well, I did. She took an excess stretching from using IR wrongly. To plants that didn't need it. And I defoloated wrong also. Trying a new method. I did it to late. And early into pre flower which I think messed her up her process. Buds/colas will be well. Not what I planned on. She's too tall. 20cm shorter I think she'd look much better.
Thanks to both (reps) much appreciated who I dealt with.

Love these beauties. 2 UV-A 1.08m long and about 3cm w.....bars and most importantly. The IR bars used to keep my fems flowering 13.5hrs- and 10.20hrs darkness. By using them for 5-10m after lights out and then she sleeps for time above and gets extra light without risk of revegging.
I had to cover up the IR diodes in flowering due to extreme stretching. It may have been Bruce Bugbee (not sure) that said some growers are experimenting with hitting the plants with IR the last 10 minutes of the daily flowering photoperiod as that occurs during each sunset. I am going to source new light bars without the IR diodes. No harm in keeping the UVAs in my opinion.
Congratulations on your beautiful harvest.
It's always a pleasure to read your detailed information about your grows.
