@BarneyRumble420, hey man!! I appreciate you stopping by, checking out my grow and dropping some kind words. Thank you very much. I have some high hopes for this run.
@Hempface86, I think it’s going to be fun. It’s not really about who will be best but to see the differences between both strains that are the same from two different breeders.
Looking good! I’ve been thinking about grabbing a hlg B spec for veg. Do you notice any differences? Is it worth the money? Or just stick with Diablo for the full
@BEACHBUDZ757, thanks for the kind words and checking out my grow man. Yeah I always start my seedlings off under the B spec light for the first three or four weeks then I switch to the HLG 350R in my 2x4 tent for more veg time. I’ll start flowering in my 2x4 and then after two to three weeks I transition them into my 4x4 under the scorpion diablo to finish them off. Honestly I’ve seen Dr Bruce Bugbee talk about lighting and he says there’s not much evidence that blue light does or doesn’t do anything extra. I mean light is light and as long as the plant is getting the proper PAR and DLI for the stage of lifecycle that plants will grow. I do find that the blue light does keep them a bit shorter and bushier with tighter internodal spacing. I wouldn’t say it’s necessary to have B spec, but I use it anyway.
@Hempface86, yeah this grow is working out fairly well. I had thoughts of aborting this grow entirely the other day just so I would have one less thing to deal with. As you know my dog isn’t well and I’m struggling to keep shit together in my home life at the moment.
They look awfully similar which is a good thing it's nice when you get the same strain from different breeders and they grow identical... I'm sure their personalities will come out soon enough to separate the two of them.. good job brother
@Hempface86, yeah I’ve been shaping and training both plants the exact same way. They both have grown at the same rate except Helena is just a little bit bigger than Ophelia. They already show their own uniqueness, I can tell them apart from each other. Even if you were to try to swip swap them around I’d be able to tell you who is who. They’re my babies.
