Hello growers.
This was the last week of vegetation.
As i right these lines the plant receives 12 hours of lignt daily.
So let's recap this week's highlights.
At the begining of the week i did some very lignt defoliation at the bottom of the structure.(6-8 fan leaves). I am starting to take mesures against the posisibility of mold.
The watering-feeding schedule was the same as earlier( 4L of water, 2ml biogrow, 2ml bioheaven every 4 days with feeding in every watering.
Did a little bit of lst to a couple of shoots.
The canopy is pretty even but some of the stems look a little bit thin. I hope this won't be an issue during buding.
So that's all folks.
See ya next week for the begining of the flower circle.
Happy grows.
As someone who is about to start their first grow using a PAR450, I was hoping I could bother you to elaborate on the light issues... sorry to be a pest, just looking to see what I'm getting myself into... Also, what size is your tent? 4x4x72?
@Smokin_Joe, hey friend.
So, about vipaspectra lights. I have been using them for over 2 years now. I was growing autoflowers and my yields were pretty good with an average of 150gr per plant. The light schedule i have been using is 20h of lignt and 4h of darkness.
This year i decided to go for photoperiods.
So the bacic science behind light and growing is this: Every plant needs a specific amount of photons (lets say light molecules) per day in order to grow and develop in its full capabilities. This is the result of light intensity and duration per day.
With a 20/4 schedule, viparspectra lights can meet the photon threshold because the plant is showered by light for 20 hours.
But when you grow photoperiod strains, in order to make the plants bloom you have to cut that down to 12 hours of light per day. As it turns out 12 hours of viparspectra light is not enough for a plant to maximize its yield capabilities.
So, to sum up, if you are going to grow autos, you are good. If you are going for photoperiods, try to keep only one plant per light.
Also my tent is 1.5m×1.5m×2.2m
I hope this is usefull.
Happy growing.
