Welcome to my Garlic Cookies Diary sponsored by Pure Instinto.
Veg Days 22-28
Plant grew well this week. Idk if i should of tried new defoliation methods on a new strain I've never grown. But, she has a very equal node structure. Everything is very, well, fragile. She's still young. And been she had a hard up bringing and was left too long in a 1.7L pot says it all about growers error. I'm going to keep her in veg for another 2-4 wks depending of course. Once going, they are very strong and resilant/resistant to poor choices. And bounce back quickly. At least I've learnt truly how defoliation can be used to enhance or decrease a development in a phenos nodes. And without a good leaf system early in the veg stage. I'm left with a very frail lady. I'm sure as she veg out the next 2 weeks. Her new growth will promote strong and rigorously node growth. Hard LST will begin this week.
Thanks to my sponsor, (rep) from pure instinto. Much appreciated for the chance to grow these ladies.
She'll stay under my P1000 until she's vegged out, and then I'll decide which light will suit my new batch of 6 & 5 autos/fems. Well 3 autos and 2 F1 hybrids from RQS. Autos are from Zamneisa and fems are a mix of Green House Seeds 2x, Pure Instinto 3 & Kannabia 1 & I've thrown another kannabia into the flip process.
I've just added the UR45 to my current setup , looking forward to seeing what benefits it will produceπ what's your thoughts π looking good π Happy Growing
@gottagrowsometime, glad too hear π thanks for the info my friend π I had to do some research on the bar it's self , as Mars is some what vague π but have a good idea on what too do and definitely looking forward to see the benefits of using it π.... Happy Growing my friend π
@Tropicannibis_Todd, it speeds up the time it takes for a fem to flip by at least 50%. This fem took 5-6 days to show pre flower signs with 13.30hr flowering window and 10.20hr off with 5-10m with lights on.. you can change that to 14hrs for fattening. And push it back to 12hrs for ripening or 11 whichever you prefer. But, still using the IR to put to sleep quicker.
If you're using with lights on. Just be careful with it in pre flower. As the stretch will be unreal. It can be used to cause upwards stretch during growth also. But, is can get away from you on pre flower, "well it did for me"..
The UV-A part is great. I've noticed a significant increase in resin. Just be mindful of its strenght. 1hr sessions is enuf, once or twice a day. Still lots and lots to read up on.
Here's a link on it and how it can increase your flowering window. On here they say a 13-11 but you can push it to 13.5 for PF & 14 for fattening::https://www.growlightsource.com/flower-initiator-far-red-phyto-dep-faster-flowers/
@Flyalivebeats, she's doing well my friend. Just uppoted her this week. And will be applying this to get huge colas https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-flowering-stage-defoliation-tutorial
@Aldo90, don't knock it man. Every plant needs a walk in shower lol. Its my dry room. Not used. Found yellow mushrooms growing from an old pot with soil I had sitting there. I've the window blocked off. Was sitting on the crapper. And was like wtf is that growing in the corner. 3 big ass mushies
