Hi, this is my main atm. Im using advanced nutrients ph perfect
She's right in middle taking up prime real estate under my led. It's just starting with popcorn size buds this week. The stems haven't hardened yet so I've super cropped or bent the stems of each branch outwards so they catch more light and take up more area. I increased my nutrient dose this week as it seemed necessary. My last dwc seems to increase nutrients around this point in flowering so i forwarded that knowledge. It seems i may have stunted growth by holding back nutes in later flower. I'll see fbits true although the strains may have different appetite.
This plant is taking up just over 2x2 ft space in the tent: it can be stretched more but for now I'll test at 2x2 as it's easier to calculate grams per square meter. she's trying to split apart so I think I maxed out my lst anyways.
I can get grams per square meter by multiplying the harvest by 3.9 or 4 to get close to 1 meter squared. Also 4 of these plants in dwc buckets can fill my 5x5 nicely with a week more in the vegetative period: assuming we do more itensive lst training. My questions lie in how the under canopy will do as the plant gets further into flowering: will they be getting enough light as it matures? I'll have to see. So far I like this plants ability to make a nice even sea of green spread with layers of bud. I didn't do as much lollipopping this round as I figured more layers equals more bud and each node seems to have adequate light atm.
I don't feel like updating this diary anymore grow season is dawning upon us. Just imagine really big buds.
I am going to use Mars Hydro's dwc bucket kit for this run. My first run with my homemade dwc had a few flaws that this system basically corrects. Systems great just be sure to set up your buckets before adding the rocks. I can't select my nute line but it's there behind the lines working to supplement plant health.
