Plants really snapping out of their poor earlier treatment. Topped/cloned the Rainbow Cake and started mainlining training. I'd like to train most of these for 8 colas, but since this plant is further along, I might try for 16 with it, if I have time. I moved the plants from a 2 ft 4 bulb t5 where they were getting about 10k lux to a Mars TS 600 at 18 inches where the tops are getting about 20k. The plants wilted the first couple of days after several hours, so I ended up raising the lights to 26 inches. Two days later and they are down to 18 inches and the plants are loving it. They are showing signs of light saturation about 4 hours prior to lights out, so I've got them on a 18/6 schedule instead of 20/4. Plants seem to LOVE 24/0 or 20/4 under T5s, but they really need the sleep with a higher light output. I've learned a lot about light saturation this week.
@Paulb420, Thanks bud! I just got a couple more Rainbow Cake seeds-I ordered them when I thought my clone wouldn't take(but it did), so I think I'm just going to save them and use the clone as a mother plant. Very cool strain!
@Paulb420, She's been a good grower for me, took to training really well, very fast growing seedling. I try to clone everything I sprout until I know if it's a keeper or not. You can really see the Archive genetics coming through on this plant, so I'm thinking this will be the one keeper out of this group of plants for me. Getting excited to see it pack on the weight!
@Smokwiri, Thanks! I'm proud of the comeback they're making after I light burned them, keep checking back, I'll do my best to raise them up as proper young ladies!
