Forgot to do an update! Day 23 now, started LST a few days ago...a crude version of LST, that is.
I think the plants might be about to start the flowering stage now. The smell is strong when opening the tent door, but luckily the carbon filter and pre-filter are doing their job! Can't smell anything outside the tent.
The GG #4 (right side of picture) grew so rapidly over a few days that I think it for a bit of heat/light stress on the top leaves. Moved the light further away to be safe.
Guess it's time to start using my nutrients soon. Will look into an appropriate schedule. Thinking of starting them at 1/4 the recommended dose and only biweekly. At any rate, they're consuming water much faster now, for sure!
Nice! I have a similar setup and am growing Gelato and Coco Melon from Canuk. I’m using a ts1000 and viparspectra p1500 in a 2x4x5 tent, and I had to keep my lights down to around 25% pretty much the first 4-5 weeks of veg. Both plants had light burn/stress but now I’m in first week of veg and they’re at around 75%. Check out my diary and you can see what my stress looked like in weeks 2/3
@guysmiley92,
The ts1000 seems solid. I’d say I’m getting about 3-4 degrees as well. I’m in eastern canada and it’s about 16degrees at night in the tent, about 23 during the day with both lights running 12/12. Even in the summer with both lights running for 24/0 the max temp was 29 for a few hours.
@Jbreezy,
How do you like the ts1000? I'm hoping to get one as well but still deciding between that or a similar Spider Farmer. Does your ts1000 give off a lot of heat? My ts600 gives off 4 degrees Celsius, which is not bad.
