- Achieved a pretty decent canopy with some very basic LST.
- Original sick plant has a lighter shade of green on the leaves compared to second plant and previous grow. Will keep an eye on her. She has definitely recovered but I don't think she will be 100% during this grow.
- Light turned up to 100w.
@HighRoller909, Aha! Thank you. I originally wasn't keeping a diary of this grow but I realised recently that I missed writing an entry each week, on top of how useful a diary is for keeping track of things.
@Squidlin, With out growers such as yourself to grow our creations we would not be where were are today 👊
Congratulations on a successful Dinafem harvest on the grow diary platform and enjoy that dank and frosty end product filled with CBD goodness 👌
All the best ✌️

@DinafemSeeds, Aha! Thank you Mark, you're too kind.
I am a big Dinafem fan, you guys produce such good genetics. And a genuine thank you for the CBD range of strains, the plants I grow go on to improve the quality of life for several different people with different health issues.
I have some more Dinafem grows coming up.
@Squidlin, I can't wait to see what you do with our pure CBD lady 👍
We love your work so far my friend. Your a talented grower and we at Dinafem are privileged to have growers such as yourself promoting our creations 👊
Thanks mate 👍
All the best ✌️

@Megumin, You will not regret purchasing that light, it's fantastic. And thank you for the kind words!
The reason for not going full power is heat mainly. I grow in a small space (60x60x140 tent) in a warm house and at full power I was seeing temps go up to 30c+ in the day. At 100w I see temps of around 25-26c.
When I got the light I looked up guides and advise, generally it seems most people tend to run at 80%-90% power. They also use the light to regulate heat (hotter = turn up the wattage and move the light away. Cooler = turn the wattage down and move the light closer).
For me personally it's all about balancing internal temperatures and exhaust fan noise, so I choose to run the fan slower to reduce noise which in turn increases the temperatures. I just set the light to whatever wattage fits within that. I stand to be corrected though, so do not take my word for it! On my current grow I am running the light at a higher wattage and plan to go about 90% max (about 120w).
@Squidlin, Thank you for the great explanation my friend, that makes perfect sense now.
Everyone has said the same thing about the lights so I ended up buying another. Like you I grow for a chronic disability so I dont have to grow much and intend on using 1 HLG per plant.
I just had a look at your Critical Mass again and my lord those nugs are stunning.
Good luck with your next grow my freind.
