I could tell early that this was sativa dominant and I knew at the end I'd be waiting on her which messed with my plans a bit but letting her go an extra 2 weeks has just about given my skywalker OG enough time to mature. I wish I'd of addressed to lower bud sites early but I've learnt my lesson at least. Overall giant she could've gone another 2 or 3 weeks and would definitely have been better off with more space but I'm happy with the result 🎄
Overall I think my skywalker OG could have been bigger if I'd of given her more space and time but my other 2 was begging to be harvested so it was her time to go, not that she wasn't finished more that there was alot of lower buds that would've benefited from carrying on but my drying space is my grow space so couldn't be done unfortunately, still a beast though 💪
I've recently found out that the led light I have which is a Mars Hydro TS600 is not in fact 600w and is actually 100w.
Do I need to compensate in any way? My plants look healthy but short, I don't want to put the light too far away that it's ineffective, how close is too close?
I use a light meter app on my phone: PPFD Meter. With it you can measure relatively accurately how much light your plants are receiving. This takes the guesswork out of lighting. And it is more accurate than simply saying "I have 100w do I need more?" When you measure you can instantly see if you need more light which you can remedy with a more powerful light, turning up the power on the light or moving the light closer.
I'm coming to the end & I think they need a few more weeks at least, but I may be just kidding myself, thinking they're gonna double in size.
I'm gonna use ripen for the final 2 weeks with a 48h flash clean before & after, so should I start now or wait for more amber trichomes?
I see mostly cloudy trichomes and a good amount of pistil dry back. I would say if you wanted to wait a week it might amber up a bit. Other wise its prime and ready.
There is a lot of misinformation aorund the practice of flushing. It is a tool that is good to use to correct a issue in the medium to avoid a catastrophic problem.
The act of flushing in the hopes the plants will be rid of excess nutrients is just not true. The plants do not store excess nutrients in the buds, they do this in big fan leaves and stalks and in the roots. Pouring tons of water will not wash them out, it will just stress the plant out and starve it, flushing agents are just chemicals designed to lockout nutrients that are available they don't do anything else despite some of their marketing. Companies will say anything to sell a product and little to no regulation prevents oversight on BS marketing.
If you wanted to do just do water last week of life it would be better and cheaper then flushing and using flushing agents.
Good Luck!
@Lonelygrass, Thank you 😊 I would love an upgrade just not in the budget at the moment, hoping to make some big savings soon 🌳 I may grab another TS600 as they're only £62 now what a bargain!
@EaRtH, Thank you man, it's my first time hanging the whole plant and dry trimming so bit worried about mould but it's 42% humidity and 19c so hoping to avoid that 🤞
