Hey everyone, so for only just the couple weeks into flowering the plants doing pretty good. All her little buds sites are getting more and more full of pistils.
The only massive problem that's happening is that she had grown so much since her initial flowering, that now the top of my tent is running out of room. I have my light set as high as it can possibly go and that's still really only leaving maybe 6-10 inches of available space. Because of this the plants have slowly gotten more burnt looking tips and most leaves are usually pointing straight up, not like a pleasant praying leaf but more like a pissed off leaf would do.
I picked up 2 small stakes to place in each pot in an attempt to pull the plants tops a little further from the light. It worked well enough but I'm being as gentle as possible so I don't snap them like my previous plant. I'm learning how critical it is to do at least minimal tie downs when theyre still pliable..even if that's just pulling the main stem over at a 90° angle so as to prevent that being the topmost part of the plant.
I'm going to examine available options and try changing something before the buds and every other part get burnt to a crisp.
I'm continuing to keep nutrients at about 1/2 strength and have added some Kelp me Kelp You as a little plant tonic. Ive also slowly reduced the lighting by a half hour each day or so to get near an 18/6 schedule. Perhaps less hours will reduce the amount of burning happening.
Now, All I can do now is watch and wait and make small adjustments where possible. Happy growing everyone ✌️
Are there any opinions on what sort of lighting is best for seedlings? Should they get a lower light intensity than bigger veg plants, or does a 300 watt not sound too strong?
I've usually started babies under cfl lights...just curious if its safe to expose them to others in their 1st week or so.
@starphish, I can definitely see that...i think i start thinking the plants need much more than they really do and i regret it later. The more i leave them alone the better they do most the time.
@Experimentgreen,
From my 10+ experience you can get by with a lot less for seedlings. (single cfl) However when applied to autoflowers. I like to give them all I can the entire photoperiod. I've done seed to flower with a 300watt (127 true watts) Roleadro and it did great albeit smaller yields with less light but speed and vigor was there :)
My pumice floats a little. It is much better than pearlite regarding to float. After a month in my pot, pumice no longer float. And I tend to blend fine size with small size.
@Med_in_Tropic, ill try that thanks for the tip. There is a diamataceous earth product that fine like the pumice but it's expensive but it lets out silica into the grow slowly which is awesome and then keeps some bugs at bay.
Beautiful! Amazing job. Love mephisto genetics. Have a few mystery mix seeds going and really hoping one turns out to be these. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck with the rest of your grow
@Denzul, thanks it's been an exciting indoor season. My 1st sour stomper was a bit of a mess but with a few changes these 2 turned out much bigger, wider, fuller canopy and just over all better. How will you know what the mysteries are? Educated guessing?✌️
Pretty much. Meph only carries about 30 strains at a time so sometimes you can compare it to other diaries to determine. Sometimes it's just to hard to determine. Mephheads on reddit are also extremely helpful thread to help figure it out.
@ChefDan420, Thanks, its amazing how much better these 2 sour stompers are doing versus the 1st one. Just a few small adjustments and they're way healthier, more full foliage. It's great
2 strains
