RepeatOffender Started a day later than the other three strains. Fingers crossed. The grow light it is under is far better than the Sansi (Amazon) bulb I used for my first grow. It's getting well up over 100 degrees in the shed. Looking a tad leggy, so I dropped the light from 24" down to 18". Also noticed: you have to water these pots that have perlite in them. Not so much the case with the first grow I'm working on. First time I've added Perlite to potting soil. Water runs right through the pot now. Have to be careful the catch-pan doesn't overflow. Dropping the light seems to have made a big difference (if a big difference can be observed in a single day). Getting a little too much light. Dropped the power to 25%. Color is starting to look better already. Got the drip system tuned-in. Had a little too much flow due to my programming error. Good thing the pots were large and the mix was good. No reason to open the tent for the next week.

RepeatOffender This plant fooled me. It started a day after the others and seemed to be weak and puny. Probably something I did with the grow light. I will top all of these plants to try and keep them from outgrowing the tent. Topped today (7 SEP). Removed lower growth. Increasing irrigation drip from 5 minutes to 10 minutes. Will be looking for runoff in the drip pan. Topping didn't slow growth. Will raise the light a few more inches. It's still at only half power. Light is now at 48" and the leaves on the plants stopped tacoing. Not seeing any runoff with the auto drip set at 10 mins (upping to 15 mins).

RepeatOffender Out of town this week. Everything was running on automatic.
RepeatOffender Probably waited a week too long to induce flowering. Might have an issue with the stretch at this point. Lesson Learned: Know your internal height limits. For me, I can only get 60" of rise on my lamp. I should be leaving 18" of clearance below the light, leaving me with 42" to the canopy top. I've got 12" of substrate. Plants should be at 12/12 when they are just 15" tall. Will have to look into LST ASAP.
