Even though my Wurlz didn't get the best start, I really do like the form she takes. The main cola and other branches form a pretty nice canopy on their own with minimal fuss. Right now she looks like a dozen or so nice buttons plus the main cola. She seems to be loving the new lights, and I'm watching closely for stresses the higher PPFD and DLI may induce.
After playing with the new lights, I've set them to 14" above the canopy which provides:
PPFD: 700-ish
Lighting: 20/4
DLI: 40 or so... maybe a bit over.

@MrGoonai, yeah, I'm pretty chill with regards to the plants... it's the rest of life that stresses me out... weather, lamps, humidifier and heater fails, supply line issues... when stuff *outside* of my control goes south is when I tend to heat up ๐ก.
All of my autos seem a couple of weeks behind (low PPFD/PAR/DLI, cold temps, low humidity, high VPD) and that's ok - more time to plump that rump, amirite?
I've looked at a lot of other grows here, and overall while my ladies are certainly smaller they aren't generally developmentally stunted.
While my photos are vegging I want to re-run the 5 autos I've currently got going. The data should be entertaining at least ๐.
@MrGoonai, Thanks, she's surprising the heck outta me considering the early abuses she endured. Under the new lights though she is thriving. The marketing brochure indicates that she's ready tomorrow-ish but I think she's got maybe another week or two. She's starting to stack, I guess, and getting a little frost near the buttons.
Well, a bunch of the new lights are up and running. Thank you Santa!!!! Let's see if this little Wurlzy gurlz' internal clock has merely been running slow and will catch back up a bit over the next week or few, or if she'll just finish up with just a few tiny little button nugs.
There are no failures, only opportunities to learn (except maybe for Amazon and Vevor... the fail seems pretty consistent on their ends).
@MrGoonai, heh, I was supposed to post the start of week 6 yesterday but have been distracted with data, and pivot tables, and charts ๐ .
My Wurlz isn't leading the charts in any way but she's doing quite well, thanks for asking. Obviously a little stunted and a bit slow to flower (VPD and lighting issues).
I'll be posting updated plant pix later today once my phone is charged.
I have new lights coming for my improved 12'x12' growspace/office in a couple of weeks - Santa says I've been very naughty in the best of ways ๐, and a bag full of SHZLUX 180W LEDs are coming... 8 of em in fact ๐.
Is this really week 4? So till day 28? If so, why is she so small? ๐จ (Mine was 58cm tall @day 24; no topping or real LST done...)
What happened? Did you water enough and also moistened the whole pot?
@MrGoonai, Not a watering issue, but a little stress early on with all 5 week ladies.
Slow start to the nutes - planned for a more hydro style grow, but reality kicked me in the head and I had to switch to Dr. Earth dry organics. No chance to pre-load the substrate so top-dressed and watered in a bit late.
I update/add weeks on Fridays and take pix thruout, uploading as I find time. My grow space is also fairly chilly (less than 70F) and pretty dry (at 30% RH), so that was likely a factor as well. Will update some pix today.
Looking at her this afternoon and she seems to be starting to show, so I gave her preferential seating under the lights. My data says she should finish up around the 21st. If my new lights arrive on the 12th like they are supposed to then she could get a solid week of decent light at the end. Next to harvest after that is my Karen Kush Auto a week later on the 28th, Pink Rozay Auto and Green Crack on Dec. 5th, and Critical Cheese Auto on Dec. 10th.
