week 2 flower starting, changed out led to gavita pro 1000de dimmed to 600watts, add an ac, culled the males and transplated the remaining 2 females into 4 gallon plastic pots and surrounded them with a bamboo trellis and tied all the colas off opening them up to fill in during the next two weeks of stretch, i dont really want them getting any taller to be honest as i only have about 2 feet to play with, ill probably end with a lot of supercropped colas tied off by harvest time but for now im just glad to have these ladies set up for the races, each backed up by two clones that are about ready to transplant themselves, let's just hope one or both of these ladies is my type
@Hempface86, same thing happened with "king's banner f2" from this same genetics company, and needless to say it was also straight fire herb, aside from the "gamma berries" ive tried from dark horse, they have all been top-shelf kind bud. cheers!
a final thought: from this run i can honestly say that yields were in line with those from previous scrog-type runs and resulted in less larf and more nugs, i feel, because they were just left alone to set bud early and start stacking without being weaved into a trellis net, i kept good airflow to the underskirts so my hand's off approach to defoliation of only removing visibly dead leaves had no adverse side effects. at the end of the day this marshydro sp-250 pulling 300 watts from the wall can only flower out 9-12 ounces regardless of training methods...i knew that light was the prime element in a grow but confirmation is always nice to have.
