** UPDATE ** Well,, the big girls are working on creating buds. I have started them on Resinator, at 1ml/litre, does say up to 2ml, but not if you use soil. Wonder why? Anyhow, around about every 18hrs, they get drinking/nutrients. They are loving the 1600W of light. I firmly believe the CO2 Plant helps. The fan keeps them nice and cool. Considering erecting smaller 2.5ft x 2.5ft x 6ft tent as a veg tent. Then I would be running a propagation tent, veg tent and flower tent. Hmmmm . . . Not legal here 😡, yet. In for a penny, in for a pound 🙃😷. Don’t want the little girls (clones) to struggle cause they are stuck in a propagation tent. We will see. But for now, the big girls are happy. Now, we wait . . . Happy Growing! Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, we have hit week 2 of flowering. The girls are very happy, having taken the 12/12 switch in their stride. No issues from cloning (or the re-cloned, cause I'm a clutz). Tonight when I water them, I will also be adding the Rock Nutrients Resinator. Oh, I also used plastic/wire ties to spread the branches. The girls all liked that. New photos, enjoy. Happy Growing!

Quick question. How much should the girls be drinking each day (week 6 onward). Currently the girls enjoy a litre per day (nutrient mix). First time in potting mix (was using hydro, but water here is tragic. I don't want them to get terminal wet feet though.

You are feeding every day? I'm surprised you haven't had any nute burn yet, but in my experience, vegetative plants are super durable and can absorb more nutes than when in flower. You are not in flower yet, so that may be why. I have no experience in plastic pots, but is that frequency because your higher temps are drying out soil faster?) If not, it may mean you will eventually water log those plants. I use fabric pots, but the 2 knuckle approach with your finger in the soil, should tell you when to water. Should be cool, but not damp.

I have ordered the VipaSpectra Pro 1000W. My tent is I think 3x3 maybe a bit more? I have the 3 girls (4 next grow) Thoughts on using P1000 with the existing ViparSpectra 600W together, for flowering?

"cant hurt i use 2 1200w and 1 600w in a 3x3 with no problems and i get nice tight buds.".. Technically speaking this should be way overkill and should be burning plants. But most likely underpowered and cheap leds so that's why he gets away with three lights. I'd never recommend putting 3000w of "rated" power in a tent that small. As for your situation it's always worth an attempt.. they will tell you pretty quickly if it's too much light. Only a day or so is all it takes and you will see burning where the two lights meet and it's most intense.

So, growing in soil, I have those pesky little fly things. Is there a spray that is safe to use?

Not sure about sprays but them sticky pads work well, just stick them on top of your soil or hang em in your tent

OK, my grow tent is 4ftx4ftx7ft. I have been veg with 600W ViparSpectra. I have now go t my new P1000 ViparSpectra 1000W. With both running, and 3 plants, growing in soil, what sort of yield can I expect? The YOR calculator is only setup for HPS/MH.

Yes I'd say 30-80 is a Fair assessment. But like 3 plants between 90-240 is a huge variance but there are just too many variables to really "accurately gauge" what your gonna yield.

Alright, now I need some advice. As you can see, the big girls are looking great. I switched them to flower 2 weeks ago. Should I give them another trim (lower and shade leaves?) I am looking under these shade leaves and there are a lot of Bud sites. Cheers

Hey fluffy, Great growth in the last week. I'd definitely get in there with another clean up of the bottoms. All 3 plants have such nice full canopies that I'm sure they'll block a fair amount of light from the bottom. It's hard to cut away all those bud sites but you're at the best time in the grow to redirect that energy into those topmost buds. I usually go through my first lollipop and always end up realizing I should take away a bit more. Happy flowering.✌️

@@HiddenColorado, damn. Couldn’t find the manual, asked ViparSpectra for a PDF, no problem, then I found the bloody thing. But they do actually mention doing just that in the manual. They are very vague, but an interesting idea. My next grow, I may just try this. Thanks HC 👍

@@HiddenColorado,all of the original blurple leds only had on of switches lol and these are same led same drivers ect so why would you only use a part of the light I've had some absolutely fantastic results und these style led I dont actually see why the even bothered putting a separate switch other than mabe using just the flower side in the last week just to finish ripening

OK, gurus, please help. Girls are 2 weeks into flower, and the fan/shade leaves are covering a buttload of sites. Should I prune . . . AGAIN! 3rd time this grow . . .
