ILGM Cali Strains

Hi All, Happy Week 6! Not much this week. Some defoliation of the largest leaves on day 37, and then a second round on day 41, to remove the last few light blocking leaves and the lowest/ weakest flowers. I'm very surprised at how much OG Kush stretched. She's the same height at her Sour Diesel sister. Next to each other they look like twins....so much so, that I counted my remaining SD and OGK seeds to make sure I didn't mislabel one! Last week I noticed some of the top leaves on the SD plant were yellowing and curling. I now think this is light burn from the grow light. She is the tallest plant and sits underneath the middle of the lamp where the light is most intense. I've been trying to keep the light ~ 18 inches from her top, but it seems like the more I adjust the light, the more she stretches in response. This is something I have to work with for now, but will keep in mind when planning my next grow. La Kush Cake is looking short, squat, dense, and delicious! This plant was the most in need of defoliation. Removing the leaves exposed a good number of buds which I didn't even see before! BONUS! Environmental conditions this week: Keeping the light settings the same as last week: intensity 100% with UV/IR channel at 25%. I will keep the settings there until the plants are done stretching and I can set my final light height, especially with the SD getting sun-burned. The exhaust fan is on full speed 10/10. It's helped bring down the humidity into the mid-50s, but unfortunately is also dropping the air temp. Temps are low-60s to low-70s. I'm not going to do anything more to adjust RH or temp. With the winter settling in, the house is cold at night and only a little warmer during the day. And right now, my drive not to fight an uphill battle is more powerful than my drive to obsessively manage VPD. Regardless, the plants look very happy and healthy! See you all next week. Thanks for checking in!
