Flower power, here we go! Noticed the first signs of preflower a few days ago. As soon as I had time I screwed the 30 lightbulbs (2700 Kelvin) into my makeshift grow light and wished my girls a happy, warmer sunbath. So far they seem to enjoy the almost orange light. Don't notice any problems like too much light intensity or anything. The heat is so much higher though. I don't think this will work in summertime :/ On day 37 I had lot's of free time so I spent a few hours with the girls. They got a quick manicure so to speak. Topped all four of them. All got defoliated. I did like a soft form of lollipoping. Removed some of the lower branches completely. Don't want the plants to waste energy in branches which won't get enough light and thus won't yield much. Bended the hell out of them, which wasn't easy because they are honestly so small and finicky, but it worked. No accidents and after my experience they will look great in a few days, you will see! So far so good.
@Zammi_official, thanks for the seeds my dude 🙌 got them for free from your summer chest thingy. Great shop and you know how you get me to spend moare moneee
@Psilocubensis, thanks man, much appreciated. I took of the domes of the veg lamps, didn't have enough time to do it for the flower lamps jet. I think I won't do it all in one go because it's too much work lol. Also the the ones which are out the farest will keep it, since the plastic spreads the light better and this way I'll get more light in the center where the action is if you know what I mean haha
@brains, danke. Gibt noch viel Optimierungsbedarf bei der neuen Growbox. War erst sehr enttäuscht vom Wachstum, aber der Strain ist einfach Mini habe ich dann verstanden. Bin wieder optimistisch und gespannt auf den Stretch und die Ernte!
I'm open to theories about why the plant in the far left corner is so much smaller. I kinda doubt it's because of ventilation because since a few weeks it has it's "own" vent almost directly pointed at it. I personally think it's a mix of phenotype and stagnant hot air in the first 3 weeks. I'll bend it over soon anyway. Maybe she will take a few days longer to harvest than her sisters but I still think lst bending will be beneficial.
