π Week 4, 12-18 May 2024
12 May - Upgraded light to ViparSpectra XS1500Pro.
13-14 May - Observed the plant.
15 May - Plant shows first pistils.
16-18 May - Observed and let the plant grow.
π It was time to upgrade my light and it was an easy choice to stay with ViparSpectra. In my opinion, for small tents and the home grower they are the brightest lights available on the market. The only problem with the *2024 new versions are the dimmer switches. They limit how you can adjust the power: 5, 25, 50, 75 and 100% are the only settings, nothing in between. If you are trying to βdialβ in your DLI/PPFD it makes it impossible without adjusting light height, which is quite cumbersome comparatively. Your forced to work around an issue which should have never been one!
The plant is showing its first pistils this week. This doesnβt mean its in flower. There is no bud formation yet, she is just letting you know she is female. It could be another 2-3 weeks or longer before buds start developing. Right now she is still in a veg state so no changes will be to a nutrient schedule that reflect a flowering stage.

This Auto Afghan Bullet was harvested on 11 July. Iβve been trying to post a Harvest update since then to no avail. I donβt know what the answer is for GD bugged platform. I only hope it gets better before it gets worse!
