๐ LOL the bandaged one. All tops that I snapped and taped up haven't died and are looking ok, doubt they will hold much weight before snapping off. She is starting to show signs of light stress. Lowered light power from 180w to 170w. New DLi=64.6

๐ Lowered light power again as they are showing a bit of stress from the light. Power was 170w now 160w. I'm going to have to have a think about my next grow, either I stick with this tent and hit the plants hard with light when I flip to flower to keep them small, or try and cram a slightly bigger tent in the space allocated for it. This tent is 61ร76ร150cm with the option to extend it to 173cm. Mine is configured to the 150cm height, but because its extendable the top 30cm is inaccessible at the best of times let alone when the plants reach a decent height. Extending this tent will be pointless because that's another 23cm of inaccessible space. Besides I only have a max head room for 160cm where the tent is.

Been a rough week, snapped loads but have managed to bandage them back, some tops may not make it. I have been way to lapse with this grow and let it get out of hand.
So I have been playing about with the last few grows to try and get a quicker stretch by lowering the DLi slightly at the beginning of flower instead of maintaining the same DLi as it finished with in veg. It does seem to work but it's creating plants that are just to tall for my tent. This is the last grow I'll be lowering the DLi in the 1st week of flower.
Due to severe stretch I have no space to take pictures, I can just about squeeze the camera between the light and the canopy.
Other then that she is plodding along nicely.
Back soon.
Take it easy.
damn them colas look great, how did you know when to start using dragon force.? i know on the feed chart it states week 7 but i dont wanna cut off feeding nutrients too early and stunt if not kill/herm my plant.... is there a specific indicator to look out for as to know right okay i should now cut off the nutes and only use dragon force along with boost?
did you just get to week 7 of flower and begin to use it without care?
PS - any help is honestly highly appreciated
@TheGreenGroomer, the way the plant was developing I thought I'd be a week or 2 away from harvest so that's why I went straight onto dragon force/Boost.
Curious. I saw u drop to 14hr last day of veg prior to the 12 flip. Any reason why ? My bad if it's a dumb question, still learning myself so just wondering.
Plants look amazing as always. Been one of the first profiles I stumbled on with detailed info. Appreciate the time u put in to share this stuff.
