Chemdogging was another enjoyable grow, and I'm very happy with my 65g. This is my first time getting that yield in a 12L pot rather than the 20L. Compared to my previous grows, adding calmag from the start seemed to help a lot - leaves were extremely healthy right up until about week 3 of flowering. At that point the usual yellowing started to kick in...
My general feeling is the plants are still not 100% happy with my light setup. The new "135w max height from seed" approach seemed to work, but the long maturation times, deficiencies, as well as it throwing out several nanners in the last week possibly means I need to dial it back further. For next grow I'll try not going above 100w, and also not being so heavy handed with the nutes in general.
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌

Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
Great looking crop! I'm using the same light ... or at least close. A 135W QB from HLG. I noticed you said that you turned your light down near the end of the season. Why are you doing this? Not a technique I've heard of before, but it certainly seems to be working for you! Good luck with the rest of the grow.
@paulsgrows, late in life I run my light as close as 12-inches. When I first received the light I did some testing. HLG has a calculator that lets you convert LUX from cheap/free phone light meter. I also used the measurements from HLG and other sources. Our little board will put out nearly 1,000 PPFD at 12-inches and that is about the max for mature plants.
I don't know if too much light is the cause of large leaves yellowing late in life. I think that is mostly just the lifecycle of the plant. If the plant is no longer putting on new growth, other than buds, I think it will take all the light you can give it without overheating the plant. ✌️🤛
@BladeCutter, Thanks for that, yes same light! I just turned mine down as the plants were getting a lot of yellowing and I couldn't figure it out. So I turned down the light to try and stress them less and get them to the finish line. I always seem to have issues like this and can't tell if the light is too strong for them or if it's something else.
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Continue to do what you do and ask the growing ganja gods to protect your women until the growth is complete.
