Hey everyone!
Just a quick recap from last week: we've removed the LST bands and are letting the plants grow freely. They are looking fantastic and have developed a very dense canopy. 🌿
Now, we're at a bit of a crossroads regarding when to start the flowering phase. The back three plants from our second grow are only 23 days old, and I’d prefer not to have any plants outside the tent.
Today, we're changing the light cycle from 20/4 to 18/6. This will give the plants more time to rest, which should help them grow even stronger. 🌱 The 18/6 cycle means 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness, providing the plants with more downtime to recuperate and grow.
Excited to see how they respond to this change!
Day 45 (First Grow):
Hey everyone!
Exciting update: we’ve built a SCROG (Screen of Green) net for the plants! 🌿 For those who don’t know, a SCROG net helps to train the plants to grow horizontally, which maximizes light exposure to all parts of the plant and promotes more even growth. We're using it with our six plants to ensure they all get plenty of light and develop a uniform canopy.
We've also placed a hygrometer among the plants to measure the humidity between the leaves. We've noticed that the humidity sometimes exceeds 70% in those areas.
Do we need more fans, an intake ventilation system, or would a dehumidifier be a better option?
We’re leaning towards adding more fans to improve air circulation, but we'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
Day 46 (First Grow):
Hey everyone!
Exciting news: the plants have names now! 🌿 This will make it easier to identify and keep track of each one, especially if they get moved around. It should also help you all follow along more easily with the pictures we post.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to watch them grow and thrive!
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!
