11/23:
I flushed 5 of them for the first time today with 5 gallons each of very warm filtered water and florakleen:
3 x Candesia F1's (Candy Cane x Amnesia Auto) and 3 x Candy Cane F2's
I fed everybody else with about a half gallon including bembe, signal, cal-mag, humic acid, big bloom, and cha ching.
11/24:
I took some photos and rotated the edge plants. Humidity is higher than I'd like at this stage due to the saturated plants in the garden. I increased airflow considerably all day with a commercial fan.
11/25:
I rotated the edge plants and moved the fans around a little bit.
11/26:
I flushed the first 5 again today for the second time with 5 gallons of filtered water and florakleen. I flushed 5 more of them for the first time today, and fed the other 8 with a 1/2 gallon each containing bembe, cal-mag, signal, big bloom, tiger bloom, and cha ching.
11/27:
I just took some photos today..making any contact with them at this point reeks up the whole house, and I'm almost out of Angry Orange..
11/28:
It looks like I'll be harvesting the first 5 tomorrow! The second batch will be flushed for a second time, and I'll flush the remaining 8 for the first time.
@@@@Tryhard,
Like landing a jumbo jet on a municipal air strip!
If all goes well, I'll have 19 plants in a little under 18 sq ft....and that just doesn't seem feasible..hopefully I get a few that are just a big cola with no side branching....the bitch of it, is that a SOG with no access from the sides or rear is impossible to manage, so I can't use a trellis net.
Be careful buddy we done the same thing and had a problem with some water run off from above to the light below and nearly caused more then a little problem 😱
They look healthy and strong 💪🌱😜
@HydroGrowLED,
Ya, that was a concern, but the evaporative cooler in the closet is keeping RH right where it needs to be.👍
My vapor pressure deficit has actually never been so good...(.9)
@Silverback_Guerilla, and another thing I noticed I was using a mars hydro light wasn’t the tsl that I use now I think they have meanwell drivers too but it was mars eco and had fans above it and it used to make the ones above not grow as good and the soil used to dry out in hours cos of the bottom heating 😑
🌱💪🌱
@HydroGrowLED,
Ya, thanks man!. About 30 years ago, I did the same thing I'm doing now, but was growing hydro back then, with HPS and MH running below. It was always so sketchy handling water a foot or two above a 600w HPS..I am less worried now with soil as my medium, but even still, I'll be taking them down for waterings, and have good catchment trays for whenever I put them back up there. Plus, the meanwell drivers are IP65 rated at least..
Looking awesome so far. Have you checked under the leaves with a good loupe or microscope. I had a plant twist and curl at the top that once and it was broadmites. Also had a slight bronzing of the leaves. I do not wish that plague on you but check if you haven't done so.
