11/17/2018 - 11/23/2018
Sunday
Gave all the buckets a thorough drenching for the first time until there was runoff.
By the end of the week they'll move to the flower LED 5x5 flower tent and connected to the irrigation system but for now, they're growing fast so the extra nutes are appropriate and the extra moisture helps keep the humidity in the 40s. It gets really dry here during heating season.
#5 grew an inch since yesterday afternoon. Lowered the light again to 18” so they won't get too leggy before they start to stretch. Depending on plant height, they're getting 490 – 700 μmols.
This is going to be another great example of the variation in phenotypes out of a seed pack. Right now it looks like 3 distinct phenos … the same as the Fastbuds GSC grow I just finished … 1 giant, 1 dwarf, and 3 mid range plants.

This strain is amazing. Plants #3 and #4 have almost overtaken Plant #5 in the last 2 days. They're at 13 and 14” respectively. Even though they're nearly as tall as #5, theleagf structure is visibly different so my guess at 3 phenos still seems valid. I'm glad I have almost the full 80” height in the flower tent !!! Starting to see the first pre-flower activity. I'm definitely going to move them either Friday or Saturday.
Friday
Moved all the plants to the flower tent. #1 is still the runt at 8” with #2 a close second at 9”. #3 is 15”, #4 is 14”, and #5 is 16” … more than double what they were last week. To give them all equal access to light, I've raised #1, #2, and #4 to create a more even canopy.
Adjuster the COB fixture so the canopy is getting 700-800 μmols depending on position. Hopefully they'll all adjust well and I can start LST Sunday or Monday.
Thanks for reminding be ... a couple of pieces of GSC larf that got away. The good news is, even at 50W I can keep my hand on them without discomfort !
