Wow, what a week! My new 12 disc fogger arrived from the house of hydro. This thing brings the 10x15 room from 40% up to 65% in about 10 minutes! Not sure if it was the humidity, going from 50% to 100% on the LED power, or it's a stretch week, but these ladies took off! Tomorrow, I'll put up some nets to help with training. No pistils yet.
Had an interesting knock on my door the morning I cranked up the LEDs. Turns out, that was the straw that broke the camel's back. The power company came out to investigate a "heat warning" on the power line. My old house had the internal wiring all redone at some point with a 150 amp panel, but the outside was still on 100 amp wires. A new wire from an electrician got me back in business.
The best part about these LEDs is that they run at a perfect 83 degrees without AC and only on the lowest exhaust fan setting!
@Xanthur, yea i dont tolerate fluff or even include it in my weights. Wow hermie? I have STSed lower parts so i dont care when i leavem put it does lettem make more fem pollen.
Usually I never let it go more than 2 weeks appart.
I also started using make shift side lighting with cheap leds for the sides and lowers.
@GYOweed, I have an aloe Vera plant that's supposed to be good for that. I've tried staged harvests with no good results. One strain hermed immediately. The ones that it worked for still never bulked up or really developed much further. Seems to me it needs a few weeks to make a difference, and it isn't worth it to me to delay the next round. Now I just toss the light fluffy stuff into the trim bin.

@Fast_Buds, Thanks! Looking forward to it. I'm actually running four different auto strains from your lineup. I came across an article about autos on your website that said to withhold bloom nutrients until around week 5 (i think?) I made up a batch to test it out, and I have too much N with some wicked purple stems from the resulting phosphorus deficiency. Is that still the overall better approach from your experience? I diluted the solution and added back in some bloom, and the stems cleared right up. This is all happening at only 350ppm.
