End of week three and she’s looking excellent! I’m excited to be this so far along with a relatively deficiency free plant finally. I’m hoping these next 4-6 weeks or so are more of the same.
I did a final defoliation today. Defoliated quite a bit under the net that would have been light deprived and also too heavy to where the limb would eventually flop over. I’m wondering if I should have defoliated more of the canopy. My thoughts are “more photosynthesis (leaves), more energy directed to really healthy and strong flower production” so I was hesitant to pull more leaves from the canopy. I did angle up the lower oscillating fan so that it would blow into the bottom of the canopy. Hopefully between that and maintaining a good flower VPD I’ll keep mold away. My past three grows it wasn’t an issue since most of the leaves were dying by now lol.
The strains signature smell is just starting to develop. I’m noticing a citrusy/lemony smell.
Nice grow buddy 😍
I just got the vivosun a200se for my 4x2. Looks like you are having quite the success with it so wanted to check the following if you don't mind please?
1) What distance do you hang the light from the canopy or do you go by ppfd readings?
2) Also is it set for the grow or do we have to adjust for every stage?
3) Do you use the Growhub controller recipe?
@GWC710, thank you! As a new grower I’m happy they’re so healthy.
1) I use ppfd settings. I use the Photon app but I bought the package that allows it to work with LEDs (like I think) and I also bought the diffuser (15-20 dollars I think). I know it’s not as accurate as reality end par meters but I think it’s accurate enough for my current needs.
2) I adjust the ppfd for each stage. Seedling 200-300, veg 500-600, flower up to 900. Keep in mind this is only my fourth grow though so I’m still learning.
3) I actually do use the VIVOSUN grow recipes but I modify them. I do use the seedling/veg/flower lighting spectrum though since each growing stage has slightly different light wavelengths. I figure if it offers that I’ll use it. But everything else I adjust, like times, light percentage, fan timing etc.
I yielded almost 8 ounces from my last grow (Emerald Fire OG) off one plant with a less than full canopy and many rookie mistakes and still had a good yield. The kit is quite capable imo.
