Buds are pushing out and stacking nicely. My LST is definitely on the chaotic side. Spread things out a little bit more. I ended up bending the stem on the main cola a little more than I should have and she gave way - didn't turn out to be the end of the world, but my heart skipped a beat when it happened. Humidity has been terrible this week (70% +) due to days and days of rain. Things have levelled off in the past couple of days and back down around 60%. Leaves are definitely getting stickier and she's developing a subtle fragrance.
@stunflower, itβs a bit out of control lol. I tried to keep enough in different stages to keep me busy and some days itβs HOURS of chores. But still within the guidelines. The DWC rabbit hole is an way to fall into. Mine is an NFT, ebb and flow hydro hybrid. Only seen a couple guys do it this way and Iβm impatiently watching it myself.
@ThatoneAKguy, I wish I could offer some sage advice about light distance but I'm a complete noob at this and I think I've had a fair bit of luck so far. I've just followed manufacturer's recommendations - 24" during veg; 15-18" during flowering. My plant didn't do much stretching at all until it went into flower. I haven't yet tested the lux of my light. I'm curious to do so. I wish I had done more research prior to buying the light though - I was blinded by the low price and high wattage. I was initially planning to do my first grow in my wife's Aerogarden (40 watts) - then I fell down the DWC rabbit hole and plans changed. It's been a fun ride so far. Good luck with your many projects - I'll be watching with interest! π
@stunflower, the power of the DWC! I keep thinking that my hlg lights too close wonβt make em stretch in veg Iβve got them at 22β hoping to get them to reach for the sky. Am I right or should I just stick it to them?? Do you ever test lux? Mine is 25-28,000
@Puffer_Bill, LOL! She does indeed look like Medusa. Some demon buds would be sweet. I probably should have thinned her out a couple of weeks ago and I'm a little nervous defoliating her at this stage of the game - I read so many conflicting things about defoliation. I guess I'll just let her go and we'll see how it all turns out in a few weeks. Can't wait. π²
Looking good ... Just got done harvesting a Northern Lights Auto & a AK-49 Auto myself. I wish you the same success.Good luck with the rest of your grow
