So another week is gone, plants are done with stretching and they have started to produce buds.
I'm still having problem with high humidity but managing to keep it under 70% so i guess it's fine, though not optimal.
I've had to change a little the water scheduling since not all the plants require the same amount of water on the same day so i'm watering each plant when needed with 3L water + nutes but from the next week i'll start giving more water per pot.
I've added some photos not under the HPS light, I still can't take picture with natural light but i hope to add some in the near future.
Today I've defoliated a bit the lower branches on the plants: I've removed the big fan leaves and the little growths at the second node of the mainline.
Cheers!
Since this is my first time with topping and LST, it would be nice to have some feedback/comment from other growers.
I'm wondering when i can switch to 12/12: I'd like to do this ASAP since the temperatures will raise a lot in summer (i expect 30°C in the end of june)
Barney’s Amnesia Lemon , will response well to topping and HST , so LST won’t be a problem. You will need around 8 to 9 weeks to harvest... so it’s probably time to switch now or ASAP like you said to avoid the summer heat !
Its looks u have a lot more then few days to harvest.
I know. I grown amnesia lemon of Barney's before.
Wait to the right time. Now.. ur temp is high, try to keep it down.
@Birale91,
You are right mate but the thing is almost impossible for me: one out of 4 plant was really at the end: their fan leaves were all dry and dying. Furthermore, as you pointed out, the temp now is way too high but even with this there isn't much to do since I'm not able to install an A/C in the tent's room. Summer heat is very strong down here, I should have considered this and I should have anticipated the flowering some weeks before to avoid it.
I know very well that I was supposed to wait a lot more, but unfortunately this didn't happen and I harvested the plants at the end of flowering week 10. The conditions were too bad and the plants were suffering so I've decided to get it over with this cycle. I'll make it up better next time with the winter cold, that is for surely more manageable :)
Looking good ... Just got done harvesting a Northern Lights Auto & a AK-49 Auto myself. Check them out if you can. I wish you the same success.Good luck with the rest of your grow
