Day 7 Flowering: Hi all. The fast buds funsters have been busy setting up their stretch time and look set to spring into a burst of growth. They are all clearly flowering with signs of stretch showing in the length of each growing tip too.
Six shooter is thebsmaller of the three ladies and I have left her pretty much alone besides a clean up below , she doesn't look like she will be a big lady so I can keep her in her chosen shape.
Strawberry Pie was tied up on her 5th node to allow the lowers to catch up initially and has now ignored that completely and accelerated it to catch up since flowering began. lol. She looks nice and happy with upright leaves and I have took a little lower growth out for flowering focus. She is a good size to really use her stretch period to my advantage so will be pinned for the final bud building.
Mexican airline has decided its taking off without clearance and despite my attempt to ground the 5th node. I had bound it like the Strawberry but shebbounced back too so i put a 90ยฐ bend gently on the srem and she still bounced back. I have now been more aggressive with the stem and kinked it with a slight splitting if the flesh too. It should for a knuckle for the former merristem to be held up . The lowers can now catch up better while she strengthens the damaged stem too. She would be a very tall girl if let free I think. I did a little clean out of lower growth on her too .
Thankfully the gnats are no longer bothering the plants roots so this is mounter a worry.
feeding well each feeding time and only to a small runoff. no signs of burn or any other deficiency at this point but I am ready with the cal mag just in case.
A good week.
be safe Growmies.

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.
