Stretch and more stretch, some more defoliation. Installed blumat from last week shown here.
Super topping the longest branches because I will run out of space:
In the pictures you can see these knots, this is where I bend the stems with super cropping so that the other shoots can catch up.
The stems treated this way will usually come back even stronger but in line with the other tops. Good way to keep a canopy.
This type of training does not seem stressful and the Kali Chinas bounce back quickly.
If you like training and bending and topping and watching the plants bounce back this is your strain.
A lot of stretch in this plant: I dont know what it is but it starts very indica looking and with flipping to 12/12 some sativa qualities are clearly showing even if until then looked like and Afghani type.
I'll see how it goes but the 180cm tent will be at its limit for sure
Some trichome pics, the kali China indoors have still long to go. The rest with the mikly trichomes is from the window will pants (NL, Violeta).
IVE made a diy light using 16 individual 30 WATT(300 WATT EQUIVALENT) 10 are 3000k 6 are 5000k. At 18" it puts out over 1200 ppfd and my plants grow fast and healthy as any light I've ever bought . Nice work
@Grow_Shack_Kev, the 4 E27 I have now are 4000k and 13W so a total of 50w. That particular set up has some definite PPFD hotspots but that works fine for plants in different stages. The bigger plant gets 600ppfd and the cuttings around 100.
