9/13 Its Friday the 13th and these plants look great. I've done 3 rounds of defoliation this week to keep the middle open. Light penetration is still good even with lights going bad on me. Only 6 months old and the caps on the blue leds are all turning black (started 3 months ago but now significantly worse). I will open the lights and break off the black caps this week. I would replace the chips but they are 3 led chips that run at 65-80volts not the normal 12v design and have proven hard to come by. Likely I will repair the lights as best possible and replace with a white grow light soon.
Ph still keeps drifting low, I'm correcting with armor si mostly as the drift is about right for the feed rate. Turning up the bloom this week as she is working at making flowers now as well as stretching out. Keeping lights about 18" from the canopy at the start of the day to keep from stalling her upward growth.
9/17 on 9/15 her light was replaced with a Mars hydro light. She seems to really like this new light. Did some light defoliation and found some white hairs. Should have some nice size flowers showing next week. Had to give her a bunch more micro today as she was getting too yellow. One great thing in hydro is the recovery time, an hour later and she is greener.
@OutForReal, I like it a bunch too. Was a hit around the campfire a few months ago too. I plan on trying to clone this one and the purple haze next to her for some fun.
@BigDaddyK, should add on the 15gal purple haze I'm running a 8w 4port with 4 strips. I need to add something to help the roots branch out in that tank to make better use of the space as the roots like to clump.
@BigDaddyK, air flow is a 24" fan blowing around during the day and 24x7 carbon exhaust with temp controlled 6" ac infinity and a 4" ac infinity pushing cooler air into the room on a similar schedule. Bubbles are always flowing and after the first few roots on at a little lower than the highest setting on a 4w air pump into 10" air stones. I'll just plan better next time and have the rapid rooters I normally use on hand.
