The plants have been growing like crazy under the new light. I'm going to let them go one more week in veg but may flip them to flower mid-week if they get too bushy to manage well. I'm still getting used to properly watering this type of grow, but I think I'm getting close to figuring it out, and am currently watering them 3-4 liters every 2-3 days. I planted some clover as a cover crop but still need to pick up some straw to act as a mulch layer to prevent the soil from drying out too quickly. I also have a Blumat system on the way that should really help make sure the plants are being watered properly. No fertilizing took place this week but I will probably top dress with some dry amendments this weekend once I have a mulch layer in place.
@Complicate, Thanks! Yeah, I took my time with this grow and it has really paid off. I'm still surprised about how far behind the front plant is so I'll be curious to see if I have a similar issue with my next round. I'm pretty sure it was caused by the lights being shifted too far back and hope that was the issue.
@RussianGrower, thanks for the comment! They look a little sloppier than I’m used to at this stage but I still have plenty of time to train them to fill out better.
@BudXs, Thanks, I appreciate it! I was kind of thrown off by his comment. My diary has a lot of pictures and info in it so I really wasn't sure where he was coming from with that comment, unless he was in the contest and was just being a sore loser.
@CUBULATOR, No, I don't work for GD. I've entered 3 contests so far, and this is the only one that has placed, but my diary isn't showing as a winner yet so I don't know if they are even done with the judging.
