So most of the "work" of this grow is behind me. Toppings are done. Z1 is topped at 6 branches. I'll still do a little minor training if any branches outpace the rest but it's mostly easy street from here on out. I'm starting to allow things to go vertical finally lol. I expect I'll be switching to a flowering schedule in a week or two. Thus far I've been removing the plants to water them but I need to come up with a system to start watering in the tent. Milk crates would make nice stands for drainage, though something shorter would be better. Speaking of, did another feeding on 12/6. They're drinking more, I've graduated to a 5 gal bucket for my watering needs.
****12/9 Edit**** OK, so I might have been slightly premature declaring the work done lol. Gave haircuts today to clear out the lower leaves to make watering easier. Did a round of training to open things up a bit more. Had another "oops" moment while training Z2. Another clean break...no saving the branch so I gave it a dip in CloneX and popped it into a Rapid Rooter. For future reference, really need to stay on top of training with these Zkittles, train young before things stiffen up. Found some low profile plant stands on Amazon that should be here in a few days. Lots cheaper than milk crates and saves me about 10 inches in vertical space. Gave another feeding today too.
12/10 ***Responded well to training. Turned light up to 100% and raised it 2 inches. Getting them used to the full light and also a little head room to stretch into.
There's about 22 inches currently. Manufacturer recommends 18-24 for veg and 12-18 in flower. Still kinda debating how far I'll let these veg before the flip. I want to be a little cautious because I don't know how much they'll stretch but I also wanna test this light a little, see how deep it pushes.
I have tried a grow with the same lights. My babies only grow to size of week 2 and they get stunted and don't grow any more. I'm seeing ppl with same lights and many different day/night temps and such...idk why my babies won't grow
@SkaterSkates77, definitely bro. This is what I was born to do. As soon as I can figure out how to dm on this site I’ll send you info and I don’t want your money until it’s legal where I live to sell my clones that I’ve selected with superior genetics.
@Scrubbyjimbob, can I give you my contact info? I'm really trying to get a grow going. Put so much into it. I would pay some one at this point to give me pointers and help along the way...🤯
@SkaterSkates77,
I've been happy with mine so far in veg. My plants seem to be doing great under it at 75%(ish) currently. I'll be curious to see how penetrating it is during flower.
