Week 1 Flower
It's finally flower time for this Bubble Kush girl!
Flowering under a 315w CMH, she's been left to stretch for the week before being lollipopped and defoliated next week. For her first week I've left her lower than the rest of the tents canopy to let her get used to the new higher wattage light. She'll be propped up and kept level with the rest of the canopy after this week.
Liquid Silicon has been increased slightly, along with Cal-Mag and Epsom salts. Her base nutrients have been levelled to a 1:1:1 ratio for the transitioning period. Once she starts to slow down her stretch and focus on her flowers, I'll gradually adjust the ratio for full flower mode.
On Day 0 She was given a good defoliation, for better light penetration and tighter node stacking during her stretch. She was then given her first lollipop on Day 3.
This girl is in perfect health and praying towards the light at all times. She has a thick, strong structure so I'm looking forward to seeing flowers on this girl.
Thanks for following and happy growing! ๐บ
@LordPekers, do you mean my nutrients? All nutes get mixed into one and then feed to the girls. All measurements are listed above for you too mate โ๏ธ๐บ
@Teamdirtbag2, yes I think if I was to get another ceramic it would have to be the DE 630w. But for now I'm going to upgrade to a standard 600w HPS as there's still a lot going on, with the new 600w Ceramic HPS etc. I'll wait until they're cheaper are more readily available haha ๐บ
@TheFoxFarmer, that's kind of what I thought. The double is supposed to be equivalent to a 600 hps. I think it's the 615 or something like that. But seems expensive. I haven't found anyone using it.
@Teamdirtbag2, I understand what you mean and in all honesty I don't believe either way is wrong (as long as explained). I wouldn't run only one plant under the one light, otherwise she'd be 4x the size she is/was. This is why i think this is the best way for me to work out the average for the full enviroment. My Apologies, I have no problem being asked anything, I just can't stand sarcastic questions.
In regards to the 315w CMH vs 250w HPS I still haven't came to a conclusion in all honesty. The CMH is slightly cooler than the HPS but it's harder work to get the same weight. There's a lot more defoliation involved to get it to penetrate enough. The full spectrum of the CMH gives the girls more stunning winter colours too throughout flush, but that's about it. I expected more from the 315 but I'm keeping it in until I get a 600w HPS ๐บ
@biggreens420, cookies isn't the best yeilder but when given a proper run this girl scout crack can definitely produce some ๐ช๐ my first run with her wasn't at her full potential but my second girl which is in flower atm has been topped a lot more than any other plant I've grown in there! ๐ we'll see! Lol ๐บ
Awesome harvest as usual and I really need to get one of them bins or make one like you did the frost on them buds is wicked gonna have to give it a try wicked job that's how I calculate my grows also lol
@biggreens420, cheers Big G โ๏ธ check out Skunk Sifters on IG mate, I think I'll just start trimming directly ontop of those as soon as they're available ๐ I like to stand up so a big screen will make it a lot easier. Nice one, it's the only way to get proper figures if running other plants lol ๐โ๏ธ๐บ
