Jack is doing great she is super healthy no issues at all. Flower is in full swing and there are some lovely bud sites forming up. Her trading has left her in a funny shape which was needed for the space she had. A serious set of supercropping happened 3 weeks ago where her mains were snapped 90 degrees and pinned to level her canopy. When I do this kind of training I will always foliar feed the leaf on the snapped branch with fastplant spray. I do this as often I will have severed the capillary connection or at least reduced it's efficiency. So giving low dose npk to the leaf means she recovers with Les loss.
Feeding is drifting between 1.8 to a 2ec. She shows no signs of overfeeding really. The odd tip just starting to show.. but if I go higher I will have to increase ppfd also and I'm happy where we are for now.
I am giving her 2ml per litre of more pk atm. This is a 4-7-10 phosphorus and potassium flower booster. It is an amazing product and in combo with the bloom at 3ml per litre makes the perfect feed for ambient co2 growing at 850umol/m2/s ppfd.
I think I have found my sweet spot. Power draw from lamps is now at 55% and 205w as I raised the array for better photon distribution.
UVB isn now running at two 1hr sessions through the lights on period it's a 21w tube
some info about the UVB and its effects on the UVR8 protein.
Only Flower Power produces high levels of 280-300nm UVB. You can see the spectrum yourself on the lamp page. This might not seem like a big deal to those unfamiliar, but the most important trigger for cannabis is the UVR8 protein, a protein common to many plants and acts as a chemical messenger to tell the plant it is in high UVB and should react accordingly. In the case of cannabis, this means to jump up protection of THC, which the plant uses as sun block.
It is supposed to increase THC.. other benefits are the anti fungal properties of UVB and the pest control it also helps with. Contact with UVB will kill most bugs..
So all in all a good week. No space to move her out really so pics may be just bud shots from now
Thanks for looking.
Grow well ๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ผ
@Herbz_Unkraut, plants love humidity so I like to give em all a wetting every morning. Most time I use fastplant spray but will also use phed water with a dash of calmag.. They love it up to flower..๐๐ฟ
