Been a while since I've been on here. Not a better time to jump back in as I'm testing out the Black Dog PM2-200 in a 2x2 tent. Super excited to see how the ladies respond to this Spectrum including true UV from seed to harvest. Lot's of trial and error when I started growing. I feel like I'm dialed in on pretty much everything else so now I want to see how I fare with a top notch light. I'll report back every week with pics and updates. Happy growing everyone!
All as expected 2 weeks from seed. One of them did something funky as a seed as I used some leftover soil from a different grow and it had perlite in it. Just too much open space for a seed. Anyway, all worked out and looking good now. I will be transplanting up to the final 3gal pots this week as they are almost to a 24 hour water cycle already. That's about it for now. Just water and watching weed grow. 😆
So 3 weeks in and looking good. I potted them up to 3gal smart pots this week. I also wanted to see how these autos do with one early topping so I topped 2 of them and left one untouched to see which does better. They really seem to be responding well as the side branches are now fighting to be the apical dominant branch. Looking forward to see how these ladies do. Certainly loving the Phytogenesis spectrum from the Blackdog light.
All in all they are really taking off nicely. I'll be doing some cleaning up of lower branches/sites as well as a little bit of defoliation this week to ensure we are getting plenty of air circulation and not have any big fan leaves blocking light to lower flower sites. Happy with how we are looking at this stage. Keep growing ladies!!
Apologies I've been busy and a few days late updating here. All looking good as we are 3 days into week 6. Should have about 4 weeks left til harvest. I did a light cleanup of the lower branches over the weekend to focus more energy at the top of the canopy. Also did some light defoliation with these autos. Still testing to see how they do as opposed to photos where I do a strong defoliation at flip and day 21. Lookimg forward to seeing what I get with 3 autos under this little 200 watt power house. Happy growing!!
Starting week 7. 4 more weeks of flowering to go. A little crowded but I've went very light on defoliation since they are autos. I'm surprised to see a little light burn on my runt plant. I was not expecting that on this 200 watt light. I guess I've got to keep in mind I'm still hitting the plants with 1000 ppfd it's just in a 2x2 space. They should get a few more rounds of heavy feeding in my feed feed flush setup before going into final flush before harvest. Looking great!!
All looks good 8 weeks in. The flower is getting dense. I think they have about 2 more weeks to go. I'll keep feeding and flushing. Looking forward to seeing the yield with this 200.
So we just completed week 9. Everything looking beautiful. I had to add a few stakes to hold up the flower on some branches. Just did the first big flush and will continue to flush from here on out. Can't wait to see what we get with this killer 200 watt light in a 2x2 space!!
