The buds now develop faster. The stretch has come to a complete standstill and the plant continues to drink just over 5 liters of water a day. I reduced the fertilizer slightly because the leaves are very green and have slight yellow tips. The light has now been turned up to full capacity and I am now irradiating the area with almost 360 watts and around 1400 PPFD in order to penetrate deep into the dense plants. Another defoliation is planned for the week and I hope this will reduce the risk of mold again. It's winter here right now and I suck in dry air from outside and, thanks to the powerful lamp, I can keep the humidity below 50% in the light phase.
Keep growing!
@Superstuff, I am really happy to hear that you liked it so much and it pushed you to try the hydro thing. ๐๐๐
Its so rewarding and a little bit work to defoliate is not the end of the world. you got less other things to do and i think it would be a miracle if you fail after getting to this point. You got it and now you are "one of us" ๐
Just keep doing what youยดre doing. ๐ช๐๐
@High_And_Hydro, Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks to your videos on YouTube, I got the idea to try Hydro. I was so impressed by your results that I wanted to give it a try. I've always grown in soil and the results there were okay. But Hydro is a completely different beast and my 60 x 60 is almost bursting.
So your praise is an accolade for me! I hope I can carry the plant through to harvest without making a serious mistake or getting mold.๐
Your training looks absolutely stunning. The plant looks like a ball haha. Also got Apple Fritter from RQS as Promo Seeds. Maybe next year I'll find the time to grow it!
