Growth is booming. All that extra room I gave myself last week is gone....only 18 inches from light currently. I'll raise it a little more in a day or two. On my 12/12 pics the plants measured 10 inches(average) and they're 12 inches by the 15th. Believe it or not but I gave these a little haircut in the middles of the plants on the 13th but you'd hardly know it today without examining nodes. The previously hidden branches immediately filled the space. On Z1 I pulled the leaves back so you can see how huge the stalk has grown. I'm itching to put them in flower but I'm waiting another week I think. Want to give my other strain a few more stacks, it's not supposed to be very stretchy in flower....they might need booster seats if they can't keep up with these Zkittles here. We'll see.
***12/17 Edit. I was really busy yesterday so I didn't really mess with the plants beyond a quick glance in the morning. Today I check them and laugh at how I keep underestimating how quick these plants grow. They've put on another inch or two. My tallest (Z3) is standing at 15 inches but Z2 and C1 and 2 and from my other journal aren't that far behind at 14. I think I need to go ahead and flip. As is I'll probably end up having to wrangle these Zkittles a little bit lol. Today I raised the light a touch, it was at 17 inches but I lifted it to 20 but when flipped I'm gonna allow it to stretch to about 12. I'm giving it one last day of veg but I'll do the actual flip tomorrow when I feed. Will give haircuts tomorrow too for the flip. Nothing crazy, just the long stems. Since a flip typically takes 2 weeks to transition I'll document next week as my last veg week and will begin flower notes afterward. Next week I'll maintain current nute levels and begin transitioning the following week. I use GH's( or TA....whatever) chart at half strength and I like how they include a transition phase between veg and flower. After transition I'll begin to incorporate Kool Bloom into the regimen too.
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.
