Day 21
End of Week 3
So far so good. I had a few mishaps doing LST. One stem was snapped and a couple of others slightly torn, but still attached!
I've been doing LST daily and tucking in leaves as best I can. I don't like defoliating cause of bad experiences in the past with stunting plants so I just tuck away as best I can.
Day 20 AC Infinity UV
I added the AC Infinity UV light bars x4. Setup was pretty straight forward. I used some metal plates and screws and duct tape to mount them to my FC 4800. It was Stoner Engineering at its best lol.
For the timer/controller I used a cycle on/off timer instead of the one that comes with the lights. I didn't even bother connecting it to my AC Infinity Controller Pro and here's why:
The timer I chose is stupid simple to setup. It has a light sensor so it turns on when your light comes on.
It's setup to run for 5 minutes at a time every 3 hours. This gives me 30min daily of UV.
Next week will be 10min every 3 hrs for 60 min total
During flower I plan to eventually get it to 20min per 3 hrs for 120min total run time daily
The way it looks on the timer is:
On : 5 min
Off: 2hrs 55min
And the cycle just repeats during lights on at your set interval.
Day 21 Pistils!!!!
I noticed that the Strawberry Gorilla is already showing pistils!!!!
Daily LST continues. The plants have responded well to the UV. By that I mean that the plants seem to be happy and pointing up and no negative drooping or burning of the leaves by the UV.
CannaFogger:
This thing is a great tool to have for foliar. It saves so much on nutrient solution. The plants really love aloe vera foliar spray by buildasoil that stuff is great.
