'Do Si Dos' by i49

SF-2000 quantum board light now in operation as of Dec.5th, 2019. Further notes and specs on the light are in the Blue Cookies and NL diaries. I won't copy and paste all of it. What I will say, though, is this lamp is absolutely fantastic. Plants love it and it's helping facilitate speedy growth. Looking at a newly formed node section every 1.5-2 days now. Light backed off to 36" to allow for stretch. Need something to top and train! LOL. I had a concerning/paranoid early week with Do-Si-Dos. Wasn't very excited to see some very visible blemishes and markings/specks forming on my new fan leaves. I reached out to the community on Day 24 and was pleased to get so many responses and help with the issue. Environmental and lighting changes have been made to accommodate the plants through the advice I was given. So far everything I was told has worked out phenomenally and no new signs/markings have shown on any new fan leaves. She's growing like a weed😏 and about twice the size from 4 days ago. Thank you to the community for helping me out and driving down my paranoia/anxiety over these small imperfections. Especially a shout out to @Mrs_Larimar for constantly giving me her time and advice. I hope you don't mind that I tagged you Larimar, but you know how much I appreaciates ya, and wanted to acknowledge the effort you put in here on the GD site. Notes of the week: -I'm tentatively planning to mainline the Dos-Si-Dos but space parameters may not allow for a true manifold. I want to train/top as close to a manifold as possible w/ the space I have. If this works out I will be pruning and burying roughly 2-3 inches when they move to the 5 gallon final home. Want this stem as thick and as short as I can get it. I see so many cool manifold bends on here and I just really want to give it a go. Want to try new things, every grow, successful or not. -Moved to a 20/4 lighting cycle from a 24/0. I may bump down to an 18/6 if any stress is noticeable. So far 20/4 has been working wonders and I feel like she is growing a strong and healthy root system. The stems I'm looking at right now are far more bulky and healthy compared to my first grow, and that's just really nice to see. Want to keep them short and fat! Thanks for reading folks. Happy trails and happy grows!
