Very good week 2 all in all. The Durban's are looking tighter than a nuns #@%&. Super compact and I'm thinking will maintain a nice compact shape during flower with a reduced blue spectrum. I've topped them once and will now just LST until flower as there is plenty of fairly even growth that I'm hoping will rise evenly once I flip to 12's. The front one is a little ahead of the rear one for some reason but I think the super early thrips slowed it down a bit. Still no sign of new thrips. The Cali Haze's are way too healthy as they are trying hard to explode upwards already which they are so famous for. I FIM'd them last week but it didn't seem to take so I just tried again but cutting a little further down to ensure I get the growing tip as well as the two side leaves. It's tough as it's just a tiny bulb basically. Im hoping this will slow the upward momentum while allowing the bottom to bush out a bit so I can have multiple tops that I can LST. Again, front one is healthier than the rear.... I'll have to keep an eye on this to make sure it's not something to do with lighting. On week 2 day 3 I fed them with a Wayne Gretzky EC (yes I'm Canadian and yes it's .99). They responded very well but I'm watching tips closely and decided to just PH my tap water for the next water on week 2 day 6 which is high in calcium and has an EC of .3-.5 depending on the season. I haven't let any runoff through the pots yet as I went straight into 10 gala and don't want to swamp them early. I have a soil EC meter that gives me a general idea if they need food or not. Soil in highest was .75 and lowest was .47. I want to monitor to see how my own watering/feeding schedule will work for my environment. Removed homemade screens on first water this week haha. It is a royal pain in the ass and I feel I'm good enough with plants to train them on my own for this grow. So far I'm very happy with this lighting and can't wait till flower!

Curious if anyone else has experienced leaves like this on Durban’s. I know I’ve seen leaves like this when temps get cool outdoors but all flower sugar leaves are turning. Watered regularity and fed well in my opinion, so I’m not sure what else it could be. Thanks in advance!

Its pretty normal reaction man , you're nearing the end of harvest and with the temps being the way they are you're going to get an abundance of colours ! Durban is really known for its purples in later stages my buddy has some growing right now and you could swear its purple kush or something of that nature . Sometimes its just the pheno you end up with my friend . I wouldn't really worry abut anything your seem to be rocking and rolling and your ladies are suffering from anything . So all in all you're in great shape ! Keep up the great work ! -Happy growing!

Thank fuck some one is updating their grow! Love the HST! Would you be as hard if your gals were regs? Cheers

@stevieb21, the first overhead shot is my favorite on this site right now. Sorry I didn't clarify its my 1st time running regular seeds I started HST and a couple hermied but I'm forgetting my strain is part cookies. I forgot DP is a more stable strain. Cheers!

@skidmarx, Haha ya I love to ramble so I can’t wait for updates. These are not autoflower, if that’s what you mean by “if they were regs”. If you mean regs as in an indica vs a sativa then I’m not entirely sure to be honest. Indies don’t stretch as much so not as much need to pull them down or take HST measures. That being said, Indicas also won’t tolerate the intensity of the light as much as the Durban Poisons so it really depends on your situation. Just watch your plants closely...give them what they need and think ahead before whatever technique you use. I love bushy plants and being able to train them so this is my style. Plus it maximizes canopy space!

I ran 2 Amnesia Haze on my first grown and their thirsts were total opposites despite mostly similar characteristics. 2 Questions: week 4 very when your light was low what was the stress you noticed? Also how tall is the tent? 2 Sativas needing 110cm distance from light is a huge task. Hats off totally professional in every sense. Am happily along for the ride, thank you!

@skidmarx, thanks for the comments! As far as the stress I was seeing at week 4, it just seemed the new growth tips were struggling a bit. Looking back, I don’t think they were affected much to be honest. I wanted to test the light in all functionality at ceiling height anyways so it persuaded me to move it early. The tent is 80” ish as I had to cut it down a few inches to fit. If I didn’t have the ability to control the light spectrum to help reduce stretch during the first few weeks of flower then I’d likely have a little more difficulty but either way I like to work with the plants on a regular basis with my training techniques so it wouldn’t be impossible 😁 I’m told this light will be ok up to 90cm distance for Indicas so sativas will tolerate a little more but my goal is to maintain 36” for optimal UVB exposure at the end. Thanks for the follow and good luck on your grow as well!

Its a normal Reaction, the Chlorophyll is out of the Leaves ( autumn-colours) and that the way they look without the green. I had that too with my dark devils, i really loved that colour spectacle.the older they get the more colours you get, the more leaves will affected. Its absolutely normal ive had a hard fight with fungusgants too, in the end nematodes and bacillus brasiliensis helped. Its a great way to fight back no one gets harmed than the gnats

Great diary. Its gone real quick! What was you're verdict on your new light?
stevieb21
stevieb21
@skidmarx, I am blown away at the results with this light. I'm going to drop it a little closer this next run to see how all the different strains handle it and when they start to burn. I'm told Indica dominant strains will not like being closer than 36" to this light. I'll be starting a few diaries soon as I want to separate the strains. I think I may have mixed these up as the tightest of buds are on what I thought was the Durban Poison, but I would have assumed that the Cali OG Haze Kush would have had the tightest buds as it has the Cali OG strain in it. Sigh...I'll have to pop some more seeds to find out in the future haha

S, quick question about lighting. What RWB ratio did you change to in flower?
stevieb21
stevieb21
@skidmarx, I have three settings I use for flower. First three weeks after turning to 12/12 they will want to stretch like crazy so I go with R99 W99 B50 as the blue spectrum is more for plant veg. Once they have finished their stretch I use R99 W99 B39 for the full flower, less the last two weeks in which I will change it for the finish spectrum of R39 W99 B99 as the plant growth slows and mainly terps and resin. Each strain will want it own thing so play around...that’s what I’m doing. You can customize your cannabis with a good LED setup with full spectrum control which nothing else on the market is able to do the same.

Nice man! I got 85ish G's from each of my Cali OG plants. Hope you beat that!
