I've done some culling. The runt and one of the main GDP plants have been cut down. The runt because it was producing seeds, one of the main GDP because I'm dry as a mormon. That leafs me with 3 plants. The 'giant' and two female GDP. The tent is fairly evenly split between HID and LED with a little crossover in the middle. The GDP under the HID is holding quite a bit more water and has yellowing leaves. I've been treating this as a nute lockout and have had her flushing most of the week. The plant under the LED is drinking almost a gallon a day of full strength bloom nutes and is really packing on the weight. The 'giant' is in between the two in terms of water consumption but is also developing it's own nute deficiency and never really locked healthy, but I'm hoping the stronger light and Co2 will help her danken up
I'll be doing my best to get things back on course, but I'm 99% sure I'll at least get one of these suckers to 10 weeks.
The main tent runs 9am-9pm. When I got home at 1pm the light was out. I assume it never started this morning. They are now under LED.
Will they hermie?
Whats wrong with my ballast/light?
Hey no the light being out for half a day wont make them hermie. It usually takes more stress than that. I wouldnt worry about that. And as far as your light I would assume the bulb went out depending on the age of your equipment. You can usually see the burned element. You can check the light socket with a cheap volt meter but I wouldnt advise it unless you are experienced with electricity. Hope this helps.
Looking good ! I am also growing GDP clones mine are outside in 3 gallon pots with coco coir and perlite.
Can't wait to see how your's come out happy growing!!!👍
As of 8/9 I retried the HID and ballast which struck successfully, twice in a row. So now its back in the main tent, but I'm leaving and LED in there just in case.
Temp tents with LEDs absolutely plummeted, this morning with lights on I was looking at 61, compared to the standard 85 I'm used too.
I really need to save up and transition fully to LED.
