Hello growers.
We had our first flowering week.
First of all the strech is quite something with this plant.
It was the shortest plant by far in the growroom, but now it has almost catched up with the others.
However the internodal distance of the stems is not long. That means that it is going to have buds from top to bottom.
I really like the appearance of this plant.
It is bushy with short pointy leaves and it seems to be very healthy.
I introduced small amount of bloom nutrients and it seems that it likes them a lot.
Since the flip, it is taking a bit longer between waterings (5days) but i think it is normal as tne growroom runs in lower temperatures. Usually as we progress in bloom cycle the plant will find its rythm and establish a much faster drinking rate.
I am happy with the canopy. There are some small differences in stem heights, but nothing to extreme, so for now no action will be taken.
Thanks for visiting.
happy growing.
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.
