SS - Black Jack Auto

I'll keep the set up information going from week to week to hopefully reduce any questions about what is being used, and prevent people from having to scroll through the comments of every week to find what they may want to know. Step Up Info: Tent - 32"x32"x62" VIVOSUN mylar grow tent Light - 75W Rapid LED with a CREE CXB3590 COB Fans - AC Infinity CLOUDLINE S4 for exhaust, 2 Holmes 6" clip fans, one is towards the top shooting down, one is towards the lower-middle for circulation, 1 Honeywell 8" TurbroForce Air fan. Pot - #3 black resin thermoformed pot with an actual capacity of 2.6 gallons Medium - Fox Farm Ocean Forest mixed with more perlite Day 29 - Week 5 is upon us and we are now in the flowering stages. I did some more bdsm training as @El_Jeffe pointed out. I think that this will be my last day of LST and just let her grow up to the light. Does anyone want to give their thoughts? LST vs LiG (Let it Grow). Let me know in the comments. The main cola is stacking up, so and I have no more room to pull her around. That is why I'm like hmm...😐 Day 30 - So I made a decision on the training and that is to more or less stop any "aggressive" LST training and to just let her start to grow up. For some reason I forgot to lower the light yesterday, the light has been lowered, 24 inches above the canopy for now. Day 31 - There was some slight LST done today, mostly just tucking to expose the slower sites. I haven't had to do any defoliation yet other than that one leaf. I gave her some nutrients today, a combination of Veg and Flower nutrients to help with the transition and get any of the last Veg nutrients it might still be pulling up as this is the first true week of Flower. Light is still at 24 inches. I'm going to let the plant grow to 18 inches from the light before I adjust again. Day 32 - Today is a big photo update day, not particular reason other than I thought I had some things I wanted to share. I like the shape I'm seeing and the number of tops I was able to generate. This will be a good test of what this new light can do. While not my fist grow using this light, it will be my first grow where this was the only light used for the whole cycle. There has been a lot of growing going on all over the plant. The more I got light down in the canopy the more sites appeared trying to play catch up. As stated before, I'm trying to do little to no defoliation and really see what I get with this light and set up. I know that I could increase theoretical yields by defoliating, but I want a base line to compare for later. I also need to consider if I can do anything different with my LST training. I counted 5 "missed opportunities under the main cola for independent tops. They should still have nice yields based on their obstructed growth. I just wonder how I could have gotten them more exposure with the rotation and space available. Right now the easiest idea I have is rectangle pot and grow her out like a long table. Creating two rows of grow sites. Unpaid product plug, but if you want a good quality all white full spectrum LED grow light, using arguably the best "horticulture targeted" cob LED light, the RapidLED 75W Cree CXB3590 grow light is a solid choice. It's priced nicely between the 54W and 100W Optic 1 and uses the same components, sans the lens. The RapidLED uses a reflector instead of a glass lens. It's not heavily advertised on the various blogs/websites covering the world of cannabis. Day 33 - We aren't done stretching yet so I was able to get some more training time in to separate some of those branches a little more. I've also adjusted the 8" fan to be off the plant some. I think it was causing some damage and stress to the various leaves. I'll try to also us more of the pot next time if I can get the right kind of lateral growing I would need for an effective spiral. The one side did not want to grow out fast enough to manipulate as easily as I would have liked. I'm still pleased though, but I want to make sure I can see the room for improvement to get better and better. Day 34 - The stretching is going well, I haven't seen any downsides to the half Veg half Flower nutrient mix. Day 35 - Week 5 comes to an end today. We have had some nice growth and development during our first week of flower. Saw some nice stretching across the board so I'm pleased heading in to week two of flower. Today she was watered again, this time with a flush as this was the third week of giving her nutrients. Depending on how long she takes it will determine when I flush again. The breeder says this is a 9 week strain. I've seen journals going from 8 weeks to 10 weeks as the low and high average. So if I go long, the next flush won't be until week 8, short, week 7. I've also noticed the plant has done a lot better since turning that 8" fan away. It may have liked the air flow, but the leaves hated it. Week 6, here we come.
