Legendary Larry (DOJA x Swamp Boys) #9

ATLien415 so, these ladies were not happy in the aerocloner. ive had a busy schedule lately and they spent a few days with no circulation. basically the roots that were not submerged then went through a pruning process as they no longer were provided water from the pump... so they are getting some TLC and are on their way back to being happy before flipping. nothing special going on for them... just trace HOCl added into solution after manually bathing the roots in a similar solution, and honestly I was expecting to have to bust out the LABs so im happy with their progress she is amenable... cuttings have already rooted despite the duress

ATLien415 New growth is happy on these, root zone is showing the same vigor we want up top, and cuttings are fully established...meaning these girls were flipped

ATLien415 will be defoliating at day 21 from flip busy week, just kept slapping the trellis netting onto the canopy

ATLien415 will be trimming these girls up for a 21 day defoliation as soon as I get the time to hang out

ATLien415 tents are on autopilot, like usual. spent around 20 minutes net on this tent this week including feeding. As you can tell, the tacoing is no longer the main feature of the foliage and new growth is back to normal/other areas. This isn't really something that should surprise anyone... The goal is an even canopy. Your plants will frame themselves. All you have to do is (1) not touch them during pre-flower and (2) defoliate appropriately following pre-flower. Nothing matters in my style of room setup other than flipping the next girls and setting their canopy and not ruining their trichomes. Anyway. You take those basic premises, that many turn and burn setups are going to be following, and you quickly work yourself into way too much foliage for the room size (this is a temporary pain and is expected). This is the old 'let her breath; thing with tents. If they are getting sassy on the stretch for any reason or if she will handle it you can also start acclimating them gently to their flowering lights. This is also what was done here... So you have a huge atmospheric pressure, a commensurate pressure on below the medium, and lights are ramping up...all during pre-flower hormonal shenanigans......you will taco on internal shoots, which might show in pictures after resetting the canopy or tucking. Sometimes you have to explain things for people in different ways.

ATLien415 This is going to be a fun one. Often get flak for responding with the correct answer to a question, with the implication that every run of mine should be perfect. This account is just this grow room. I mean. I have something I wish I'd have done nearly every run, because you constantly learn about the cut the more you run her. She also changes over time, to you and your decisions. Anyway. This light is an array of VS1500 (150Ws) on an ACI controller, with an adapter. The controller setup does get the VS1500s to interpolate between the original Vivosun settings. The only issue I have had with the setup is that a power failure messes with the interpolates settings. Long story short, while I was out of town we had some power flashes and I came home to the light setting 10% (set low to minimize water consumption while I was gone) was not firing. The fix I have found is a manual set to 10/0 until it picks up. Not sure where the actual root cause issue sits but that is what I deal with until the VS1500s are all out of work hours (2 of 5 have failed at this point). Long story short, these girls after their preflower and stretch and canopy being set had 4 days of darkness. They had plenty of food and stored energy to go wild with their new data, that their canopy was blocked entirely from the sun. They took a beating on a new trellis attempt, one light was taken out of the array, a new round of pruning flowering sites was done, and we are basically out of options. We run it. Normally I would not be running this. This would be in the trash. I have clones ready. I'm running it to talk about it mostly. Knowing the correct answer doesn't mean my grows are perfect. It just knows I know when I make mistakes.
