"Hey everyone!
Just a quick update: our plants are looking pretty good! We're planning to start Low Stress Training (LST) this week to help shape them.
Also, we're probably going to buy the HPS lamp this week. Excited to see how they'll respond to the new light! 🌱💡"
Day 27:
"Update: We started with LST, and they're reacting really well to it! 🌿 Also, we're probably buying the lamp tomorrow.
In addition, we've noticed some very small shoots, so we decided to trim off the lower leaves that were turning yellow or getting very little light. They're looking healthier already! 🌱✂️"
Day 28:
Hey everyone!
Exciting update: we topped one of the Hulk Berry plants, and they're responding well to it! 🌿
Also, we decided to go with two LED lights from Cosmos instead of the HPS lamp. These are 120 watts each, full spectrum, dimmable, and they have separate modes for growth and bloom. Plus, they were a great deal compared to the Spider Farmer lights. Can't wait to see how they perform! 💡🌱
Quick question for you all: do you think we should remove some of the leaves that are shading the lower branches? We noticed that these shaded branches are growing smaller due to lack of light. What do you think?
Here's what I'm thinking: I believe removing some of the larger fan leaves to allow light to reach the lower branches could be beneficial. It would encourage more even growth and better bud development throughout the plant. What's your take on this?
Congrats on your first grow! It looks like your lights are too close. The plants look miniaturized because they want the lights to be backed off, that way they can grow up towards them more .. I run my 350watt LED lights 40+ inches away all during veg
@OrganicChronic, Thanks for the congrats and the tip! 🌿 I'll try backing the lights off a bit to give the plants more room to grow upwards. I'll adjust mine and see how it goes. Appreciate the advice!
Ich mache auch grad meinen ersten Indoor Grow, bin super gespannt. Hab meine schon etwas Entlaubt etc ich werde deins auch mal weiter verfolgen sind in der ähnlichen Woche ;)
@WeedleyScott, Deine Pflanzen sehen auch echt schön aus werde ich auch mal verfolgen, denkst du ich sollte auch schonmal etwas Entlauben? Also vereinzelte Blätter, die sehr nah am Boden waren, habe ich bereits entfernt als sie sich gelb verfärbt haben.
@Sejanus21, Danke! Ja, die Begeisterung ist definitiv groß. 😄 Die SF 1000 ist wirklich eine gute Lampe, und du hast recht – dieses Hobby bringt den Perfektionisten in einem hervor. Immer auf der Suche nach dem Optimum!
