Day 28 veg: Hi all , I hope your gardens are green and your stash jars are full ?.
With the 4 weeks passed and what looks like a possible flowering start to the ladies with a few white hairs on the bracts and within the tip growth.
The odd burns on the leaf are not from a feeding error but from the mist over spray of my d.i.y fungus gnat killer. A steeped tobacco , washing up liquid and bicar of soda. It works on contact mainly but doesn't bother the top soil at all. The flies are crazy now from the coco use ( 1 drawback of it but worth it still). It is a little "hot" and has caused the yellowing burn.
I have now got some store bought product that has donenthe job instantly and will hopefully hot the emerging young adults over the coming week. It is a powder with multi use called Agrothrin. works on many garden pests and problems insects.
Six-shooter is still a lighter shade than her stable mates but just think this is genetic as they are all feeding well so far. she jas a sativa kind of look too her so far and with the inset of flowering starting , I think she could stretch into the space nicely.
Strawberry Pie is also beginning to show signs of flower too. She had her 5th nodes tied up to help the lower 3 (node 1 removed with coty earlier)to develop to the same height
I am hoping I timed it right with the autos. The 5th is now over at a 45 degree angle so should hopefully stay put a little longer as the others start their stretch period. She is a wider looking strain like the Mexican , ,so a nice mix this run
The Mexican is doing well now and i released her 5th node too sonlets see how she reacts
Onward to the flowering cycle next.
be safe growmies

I predict some frosty nugs โ๏ธ
Amazing grow. I want mine to look more like yours. I have the same light as you. What height/% do you keep it at? I toasted some tips at like 24 inches away from highest point at 75%.
@Shotiie,no par meter needed. toutube the lights and see the par maps that some have done. Mars come up good for their coverage .14 inches above the canopy is the intended measurement. If you get the mains around the same height with l.s.t , by flowering they should roughly be similar heights and grow together so create a flat canopy of bud. if you don't use calmag , then this could be why you have issues too. l.e.d leeches mg from the plant similar to coco so we supplement to keep them balanced .more noticable in flower with rust spots and single leaves being damaged by it.
@Shotiie,in veg i am about 30+ inches above them. seems to keep them happy with no stretchy stems. I have got 10 pots under the sp3000 now , vegging week 3 and the coverage is just about right for them all to get decent par. 5ft X 5ft canopy . Once they hit flower I will add the tsl2000 and drop the lights to around 14 inches. this seems to be ok with no signs of bleaching out or taco leaves in previous grows.
@Darksoul,Thanks Dark. I do like a good fast buds auto and these 3 have had my name on them a while. They do have the Auto grow genetics well defined now and can push some great yields for very little input . have a great day.
