First Grow

Note to self: NEVER wait so long to move from vegetation to flower! I am being killed by the stretch. The girls are 51 inches to the tallest top, and that's with a good 16-18 inches of horizontal growth forced at the first two screen levels. The Gorilla tent does have an extension that I was able to install and move the lid to 7' 11", but the door still only opens to about 6'. This enables you to have lights and filters tucked above the door, which is excellent, but it still leaves the canopy relatively unreachable as it grows to the top of the door. The girls are still unfortunately growing inches each day. With only 17 inches to the lights, my next priority will be to move the PAR1200 up and away from the canopy. Because I'm running 2 4-inch carbon filters, I will have to drop them to a vertical orientation in order to move the light closer to the lid. This will cause some shadowing, but given the situation, I don't really have a choice. My second priority will be to do some serious pruning before I get too far into flower. The entire lower area needs to be cleared of foliage, and the next level up, that between the lower two screens, needs pruning as well.
