The final stretch begins. As the journal title states, my intent is to run these for ten weeks but at this point I think I may up a week or two short based on how the girls are looking. Despite upping the nutes, adding a bit more N and PH balancing before delivery, all the girls in the main tent look like they are making their final push and sending all available nutrients to the buds. I'm going to flush them with plain water to make sure the roots aren't locked up with salts. If not, I guess week seven will be the start of the flush. Still no purple though....
I've trimmed and dried a couple tops from the main tent, and good lord I'm happy I ran GDP again. Really high terp content, tons of THC and a lovely body stone makes me want to cut them down today lol
All in all, i'm happy with how this grow has gone and I'm glad I took a second shot at GDP (or whatever strain I have).
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.
