Indoor Grow #4

Greenbean421 I am using all dry nutrients mixed in with the soil as this is no doubt the easiest way to cut out a bunch of concerns when dealing with hydroponics or liquid nutrients. Everything looks good my critical kush but I am hoping that it responds to the small liquid feeding I gave it. I went ahead and went for another round of topping on the OG to the left to try and curve its growth for a day or two to allow the others to catch up to her.

Greenbean421 Seems everything has course-corrected. I guess my only concern is the pH of my soil but I don't have a meter to measure that currently so I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping the sulfur I added to the soil I started a month ago starts doing its thing. I'm gonna supplement the plants with UV light so hopefully that added benefit helps with terpene developement and promotes secondary metabolites which will help with overall health of the plant and increase cannabinoid production but this is a bit of an unknown and I'm really not using the scientific method to confirm the results so I'll be relying on knowledge obtained from similar grow setups to compare. I'm sure I'll find that its beneficial, as it is a more natural representation of the Sun's full spectrum of light. I found these 4 watt LEDs made for reptiles that offer both, UVA and UVB with 7 diodes being UVA and 2 being UVB with 1 visible light diode that is probably 4000-5000K so its not like I am gonna cause damage with them. I'm also only running em 1 hour right now but will increase to 2-3 hrs once I switch to the flowering stage.

Greenbean421 Plants are looking great. I wish I could get more growth out of them but keeping them short and compact is probaby best with my closet set up.

Greenbean421 I'm at day 52 and was planning on switching to flower @ week 8 but have decided to give it, at least, 2 extra weeks, before I do. With topping the plants a 2nd time, I want to give the plants adequate time to recover. I also threw in some mycorrhizal fungus so I want to give it time to colonize before I switch phases. Hopefully this alloted time will get the plants up to the trellis net so I can start the scrog method before the plants start blooming.
