Day 38: it’s hard for me to predict where I should be as far as height is concerned. With all the problems I had early on, it’s fair to say I wasted at least 10-14 of poor conditions. As far as previous grows have gone, this is the slowest and most confusing. I have never grown a CBD strain, or like my northern lights, a mostly Indica strain. I lower the light and they yellow and taco, I raise it an inch and they dont seem to stretch. I’m obviously doing something wrong and it’s pissing me off haha. Doing some LST trying to get lower branches out to the light and topped to promote bushiness. Thinking about upping my ballast to 75% of the 1000w and raising it to the top of the tent. Currently running 15-18,000 lumens. Thoughts??
Idk what kind of light you're using but you want 50cm for hid, 22cm for led , practically touching for cfl - lamp to plant distance , I'm like you though I do enjoy a bit of stretch early on, for sure you want to dial it in soon though !
@SAC87, nah you're actually golden maybe even too strong these first few weeks i would go 250 until week 3 then 400W until first completed week of bloom then 600 for a week or two then 1000 ... 1000W MH gonna give you FAT BUDS !
@CRiSPrGrow, thanks for the advice. I am running a 1000 w MH dimmed to 50%. I didn’t think I was getting enough light to all the plants in there with my little led and CFLs. Approximately how many lumens do you run in each stage??
@DoDrugs420, man do I appreciate the likes and comments. 👍🏻👍🏻 That CBDream was a beauty. My sister is thc sensitive, she loves a cbd dominant strain. This was a nice one.
