I am really starting to learn the difference in lights and it's made a big difference already.
When we got the new LEDs and COB I put the purple and starter lights away.
Now that we're working with photo period plants I need 2 rooms so all 5 lights are back plugged and it's been a learning experience.
The difference I'm noticing is quite substantial. Before we always had big leafy plants but shotty thrichome production. Then we switched and the plants all became super potent with tons of thrichomes but scrawny but leggy plants with light yields and few smaller leaves.
Well now I understand why and its made a positive influence on the plants in my grow room.
They're all shorter with much wider leaves because of the blue light they are receiving.
They are not leggy while in vegetation stage at all any more but then as they are autos I'll just switch them over to the flower rooms when they are ready where they'll be placed under the cob or LED to do some healthy stretching as they go into flower.
My Hope's are that they will continue to produce lots of thrichomes but also larger yields in the near future.
Nutrition was as always and I'll continue to increase the nitrogen as she begins to mature.
@Petiborlu, thank you. I think a language barrier could cause confusion. The translator provided isn't always great and much of slang terms get lost in translation.
One language we all understand is cannabis and love.
@MomnPoppaSeed,'ve been following you since the first time, but since my English is so bad, I thought our communication would be bad. the result of this plant will be really beautiful
@Petiborlu, thanks for checking her out.
So let me explain my history with OG kush auto. My 1st got stuck in preflower and died at 20 weeks with nothing more than preflower buds.
My 2nd grew into a big plant giving me a 4 oz dry yield but flavor and potency were lacking.
When I contacted the seed bank they replaced all 3 of my seeds and added 2 more giving me 5 more,which is why I use ILGM (they replace all seeds that dont produce unless its growers fault).
Anyways, this was my last of the old OG auto seeds and unlike the other 2 it went into flower super early showing sparkles around the head sites. I was disappointed but her size but honestly I needed the room anyway so her small stature and fast flow may just be a blessing in disguise.
Either way, I've learned not to assume or predict anything with these autos, as you really never know what the will do.
I can't wait to see what her thrichomes end up like because she's been having a little sparkle show up since the head sites first appeared.
I'm glad that you'll have one I can use as a reference.
The thing about OG is that shes been tried and tested and survived the test of time by not only lasting so long but because so many strains have her as a part of their hybrid genetics. She's one of the "old school " strains that existed long b4 we named every strain.
@raptor65, thanks, as my stash shrinks I always over plant lol. But I have an empty poolhouse that can hold a lot more lights so I may have to ask Santa for a few more ;)
@Efka710, Haha, thanks for the friendly reminder. I was planning on doing it yesterday buuuut, woke up to my first case of bud rot on my biggest healthiest plant (the gold leaf) .
So I removed the funk and cleaned her but spent the day researching and reshaping my grow area.
Today I knew that it was time to get back to the daily routine.
This is the highest our humidity has been indoors in the 3 yrs I've been in this area and it brings unexpected heartache.
@Efka710, I usually do 18 hours and had her with the clones in the nursery but when I noticed the heads so early I moved her into the flower room where her lights would help her to stretch more with the taller lights (which works well btw). I like to keep my clones short so the lights in the veg room dont do much for stretching plants. That being said, I think I'll start moving her back with veg plants in the evening so she can get more hours of light and just put her back with big girls in the morning for the day. But basically its for the taller lights.
I usually do 18/6 for autos but with the photos added in to the mix we have to share the space/ lights.
