As mentioned, I got them way too much light in the beginning. That's why she stayed a runt. Despite to that she got it together and produced some nice, junky and great flavoured buds. Definately will go again with her.
@Buddha2,
I'm not 100% sure, but I think in my case it is the combination of the Q4W/Q6W and the reflective foil I use in the Box. The amount of light is just too much, some strains aren't able to get along with this radient exposure, especially the time after germination. Remember Buddha, since I use the sanlights I always have troubles bringing the Ladies up to a decent height...
Their reaction now gives me confidence that I'm right.
I would have done better If I've bought 3 or 4 S2W then.
@@OimRausch, great to hear that you figured it out! 👍 I also have to dimm the SANlight-LED lamps during veg. in order to get enough stretch! Their power is AMAZING! 👍😎
@@OimRausch, I'm also using Sanlights from the first generation and they are not dimmable. Even when putting them very close to the canopy, the plants still stretch considerably!? I'm puzzled...
@Compassionate_Gardener,
Thx Mate.. imagine I started growing with a Q6W🤣..
and all of my lights r Gen.1, so no dimming... absolutely agreed... really mighty Lights..💪💪👍
@DTaro,
Morning Pal.
No, i leave it like it is. The few that die off won't harm the plant. I also add enzymes to break up the dead plantshit.
But indeed I have an extra pot with Alfalfa. I let them go until 50cm (~20") height. Then you can use the stems as mulch if you lay it on the top of the soil or you brew a tea out of it.
Hope this answers your question.. Good luck and happy trails Mate.. ✌️
Servus,
OimRausch
@@OimRausch, thanks for the info!
would you let me alfalfa die off or keep them alive as long as possible in the pot, and if they do die do you weed the dead ones out to remove the possibility of bad bacteria?
@DTaro,
Hey mate... here some facts:
Alfalfa is high in essential vitamins and minerals, including all the B vitamins, A,D,E,K and biotin.
Alfalfa is an ideal companion plant for cannabis as it fixes nitrogen and accumulates iron, magnesium, potassium and phosphorous. The deep roots help break up the soil, increasing water penetration and retention and slowing evaporation.
What makes White Clover really special is its ability to fix nitrogen. Nodules on the roots fix and stabilize atmospheric nitrogen. As the plant decays, it releases this high-quality nitrogen into its local environment which encourages healthy growth in neighboring plants.
Hope this answers your question. Have a good one! Servus, OimRausch
