Теперь я начинаю понимать еще одно преимущество выращивания методом ScrOG - по сути больше ничего не нужно делать, все ветки на своих местах. Даже высоту лампы я не корректировал, пока меня всё устраивает. Заметно замедлился рост, и мне уже очевидны мои незначительные ошибки по установке решетки, которые я обязательно перечислю в итоговых выводах. В начале следующей недели я собираюсь убрать лишние веерные листься, и подчистить низы, тогда мы и увидим финальную структуру кустов. Характерные сативные листья пока оправдывают мои ожидания, начинается самое интерсное😉 Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

Hello and welcome to week 2 of veg phase for these five Epsilon F1 Hybrid ladies. Last week is now complete with daily updates and media so please check it out. For this week well frankly I am expecting massive growth. I have taken 3 fingered leaves from Normani today and five fingered from Ally. It takes more time to photo and diarise but it is rewarding to look back on! See you tomorrow! Day 9: Nothing to report. Sorry for lazy photos. Oh... I joined twitter @UnorthadoxDude Day 10: Fertigated 5l. Loving Ally's party hands 👈👉 Day 11: Normani has overtaken Ally as the tallest and largest plant. Dinah has overtaken Lauren in a similar fashion. All girls kooking good except for some odd marks here and there (see video). Today after the photos and video and when she was back in the tent. I took about 4 or 5 leaves off each girl. You'll see tomorrow. If you're here from Twitter, where I am also @UnorthadoxDude, please say hello in the comments! I've just joined and want to gauge if it is worth the time. Day 13: Heights: Ally 23cm Normani 28cm Lauren 24cm Dinah 19cm Camila 17cm The girls have begun stretching it seems. Day 14: Fertigated 5l and performed LST and defoliation. Normani height was 32cm. End of week summary: Huge week of growth and these ladies are only just getting started. The pheno difference of Dinah is stark but super interesting.

(This week has pics from weeks 2 and 3 because I couldn’t edit past weeks and had more photos. Future weeks will be correct) LST is well underway - pulling the main stalks back from the light to keep the canopy flat. The glueberry is growing much larger/faster than the amnesia haze. The glueberry is also showing some copper tips so we may skip the nutrients for the next watering and see how that develops. The glueberry is 20 cm from the light but still no signs of heat stress (from what I can tel) despite the hot weather.

Wir sind in BW 4, und die Pflanzen zeigen jetzt klar, dass sie in der Hauptblüte angekommen sind. Der Stretch ist komplett abgeschlossen – stattdessen liegt der volle Fokus auf Bud-Aufbau und Trichomentwicklung. 24K Gold legt kräftig nach: Die Buds verdichten sich sichtbar, die Kelche schwellen an und erste feine Kristalle sind unter normalem Licht bereits zu erkennen. Das Aroma wird intensiver – eine Mischung aus süß-würzig und leicht erdig. Ihre Struktur bleibt offen, was für eine hervorragende Luftzirkulation sorgt. Gelato 33 präsentiert sich kompakter, aber mit dichten, gleichmäßigen Blütenansätzen entlang aller Triebe. Ihre Tops sind etwas kleiner, wirken aber extrem harzreich. Die Blätter bleiben sattgrün und vital, keine Anzeichen von Nährstoffstress oder Überdüngung. Nach dem Entfernen des Netzes stehen beide Pflanzen stabil – die Struktur hält von selbst. Die Tropfbewässerung läuft konstant und gleichmäßig, Drain-Kontrolle regelmäßig durchgeführt. Nährstoff-Setup: • 💧 Canna Coco A + B → 8 ml/l • 📈 EC 1.7 pH 6.0 • 🌡️ Temperatur: 25–26 °C Tag / 21 °C Nacht • 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 45–50 % • 💨 Umluft: stark, freie Bewegung im Zelt Der Grow läuft stabil, semi-hydroponic durch das Tropfsystem. Das Wurzelwerk profitiert von der stetigen Sauerstoffzufuhr, was sich in starkem Blütenwachstum zeigt. Ab jetzt beginnt die spannende Phase – Dichte, Duft und Harz nehmen mit jedem Tag zu.

Day 11: Watered each plant with 0.1l with nuts 465 ppm, 987 us/cm, 0.9 EC Lights at 35% The strawberry banana seedlings was very late in coming out of the ground, I had to give the helmet a hand to get it out, through 2 or 3 drops of water. One of the seeds is not good, it grew poorly, I put a Gorilla Cookies to replace it, also from fadtbuds. Let's see how it goes Day 12: The strawberry bananas are recovering well, one of the seeds is starting to get normal leafs, sounds perfect Day 13: Watered each plant with 0.25L with nuts 480 ppm, 1027 us/cm, 1 EC Lights at 50% Day 16: Watered each plant with 0.3L with nuts 668 ppm, 1423 us/cm, 1.4 EC Performed foliar callmag while the lights were off

I provided you with a close up video of each plant and one video where i go through tent and try to focus some nice buds individually. Royal jack is the tallest plant in garden and the smell is amazing, sweet, very familiar to me but i dont remember from where haha.. Yesterday i did massive defoliation as there were too much leaves, never seen a plant with tht much leaves, i even removed those with some.crystals to their surface, thats how pissed i was :D Everything is going well, i will start flushing her soon..

Buenas a tod@s... En esta tercera semana( que yo creo q sería como la primera con estas alturas y x lo q son tan pequeñas, se pasarason a tierra más de lo previsto, espeigaron y doblaron tu tamaño y se pasaron a maceta grande) justamente hoy se le agregaron nutrientes, algunos nuevos y otros q ya había usado antes... Eh mantenido al margen las medidas NPK recomendables y eh agregado algo x ahí q seguro va bien 😉 la humedad es estable generalmente, la temperatura tanbm... De momento no hay ningún problema( si quitamos q tienen tiempo de sol limitado x la casa es verdad que eh tenido otras en exterior de este tipo y bueno, es lo q hay), están fuertes y van creciendo bien, no le podemos pedir mucho a estas alturas, eso para luego... La semana q viene mejor... Buenos huemos para tod@s... ⚕️😎 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

End of Week 9 of Flower. I can just taste those buds now! The smell is intoxicating and the view is picturesque. There is definitely a noticeable difference between the two pheno's but I suspect both will pack a good punch. There has been some purpling in some of the top leaves which I expect will increase with the drop in temperature the last week or so. I cant wait to get some good pictures at the end of the week as Ive decided the chop day will be this coming Sunday. The clash of yellow, purple and green is always my favourite so I plan to capture as much as possible since the next update will be jam packed with pictures of the girls just before their chop and after 48 hours of darkness to get the last of that resin production from the plant. I will also take some pics of the hanging plants in the drying cupboard. The reason I am leaving my plants in darkness for 48 hours before they get chopped, is that it has been long belived that this practice will increase the last of the thrichome production and some say increases potency. There has been a recent study in the Netherlands which does confirm increased resin production for plants left in 48 hours of darkness (they also tested 24 hours darkness but found 48 was better) at the end of their flower cycle. The chop has been planned to be pretty straight forward where I will just be taking off the main fan leaves and leaves with no thrichomes as well as chopping off the larfy/popcorn buds which will go straight in the freezer for a fresh frozen bubble hash run. I dont bud wash my flower as my tent gets a regular clean each week and always gets a full deep clean when every harvest is over and besides, its only me and my friends that smoke it! The drying cupboard I use for drying is a small cupboard designed for storing and drying clothes which I have put a carbon filter and fan as well as a small desk fan to circulate the air as well as a small dehumidifier just incase there is an increase in humidity. So the basics of drying is that you want the area where you are drying to be dark and fairly cool (its recommended to be between 15 and 22 degrees C), have a humidity level between 45% and 55%. I aim for around 21 degrees C temperature and 50% humidity. The drying time can vary depending on strain but its recommended to dry the buds for 7 - 10 days and I will explain further about how to tell if your bud is done drying and is ready to be cured on the next post. Drying is very important as you can affect all your hard work if the conditions arent right and the bud ends up too dry (luckily these days there are ways to fix bud thats too dry) or you end up with mouldy ganja which isnt save to smoke. Its also believed that a good long dry in good conditions helps increase potency and also has been shown to reduce anxiety. Anyway thats it for this week and I hope to see you all on the final post for the end of Week 10 of flower and the harvest! Until next week. ✌️

👨‍🚀👋 This week I start cutting a few lower branches from each plant. This way more energy should be available for the upper branches. For this culture, I would like to let each plant grow with a main bud without "topping". I would like the tent to be filled and look like a Sog in flowering. (a total of 16 plants with 5 strains in this culture) My goal: at least 300g of dry buds🤞 ------------------------------------------------------------ 💧Watering each pot: Day 15 : 0.75 L With a little Bio enhancer ( 0.8grams/L) Day 21 : 0.75 L I use tap water, adjust the ph to around 6 and water ------------------------------------------------------------ 🔥❄️Temperature of the week : Day : 19-23°C (Humidity : 60-75%) Night : 14-17°C ------------------------------------------------------------ 🤩Equipment of the week : Light FC3000 Mars hydro. power 95% at 50cm Extractor 6 inch Mars Hydro. power 1/10. ON 24/24h 2 fans to circulate the air inside the tent. Each on for 30 minutes then off for 1 hour. this rhythm repeats itself in a loop Heating mat 95x95cm. ON 45 minutes. OFF 30minutes. In a loop.

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 9 | Small? Maybe. Beautiful? Absolutely. ❄️🔥 Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And this week, Chem Brûlée Pheno A has something very simple to say: You don't have to be the biggest plant in the room to be one of the most beautiful. At approximately 126 cm, she certainly isn't the smallest plant in the garden. But she's also not trying to become the biggest. She's simply doing her thing. Growing. Flowering. Stacking. And increasingly covering herself in frost. And honestly... she's beautiful. 🍮❄️ 🌱 A Quick Look Back Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues to be one of those plants that has developed her own identity throughout this adventure. From the beginning, we've watched her establish a strong structure and gradually transition from producing plant architecture to putting more and more energy into flowers. Last week, we gave her a little selective cleanup. Not because the calendar told us to. Not because we wanted to make her look "perfect." But because some leaves had simply reached the end of their useful contribution, while opening a little space around the canopy made sense. And that's the approach we're continuing with. Read the plant. Respond to the plant. Then let her grow. This week, the result is becoming increasingly obvious. The plant is settling into flower. And the flowers are becoming the stars of the show. 🌸 The Flowers Are Taking Over This is where Chem Brûlée really starts to shine. The developing flowers are becoming much more pronounced now, with increasingly defined structures throughout the plant. Those beautiful white pistils are still reaching out from the flowers, but something else is becoming much harder to miss. The frost. ❄️❄️❄️ The resin coverage is building. Looking at the close-up photographs, you can see that the sugar leaves and developing flowers are becoming increasingly coated. We're still not at the finished product, of course. There is plenty of flowering time ahead. But we're definitely entering that stage where you can start seeing the plant's character developing through the resin. And that's one of my favourite transitions in the entire grow. Early flower is exciting because the flowers appear. Mid flower becomes exciting because suddenly you start seeing what those flowers might become. Chem Brûlée is entering that territory now. ❄️ Frost Is Coming If I had to choose one word for this week's photographic update... Frost. 😂❄️ The resin production is becoming increasingly visible, and the close-ups really capture it. Those developing flowers are surrounded by sparkling trichome-covered surfaces, while the pistils continue creating that beautiful contrast against the green foliage. It's still early enough that the plant has plenty of work to do. But we're getting the first real glimpse of what makes this phenotype special. And I have to admit... I could probably spend far too much time standing there with the macro lens looking at her. One photograph becomes ten. Ten becomes twenty. And suddenly I've been standing in the jungle taking pictures of one flower for half an hour. 😂📸🌿 But that's part of the fun. 🌿 She Doesn't Need to Be the Biggest One thing I really want to emphasize with Chem Brûlée Pheno A is that I'm not judging her against the tallest plants in the room. Yes, there are girls in the 8×8 Adventure who are taller. Some have stretched more. Some occupy more physical space. But that's not the only measurement of a successful plant. Chem Brûlée has created her own structure. She's filling the space she's been given. She's producing flowering sites throughout that structure. And now those flowers are developing beautifully. That's what matters. A phenotype doesn't have to win the height competition. She just needs to show us what she can do. And she's doing exactly that. 🔬 Her Structure Is Becoming More Interesting The further we move into flowering, the easier it becomes to understand the architecture she created earlier in the run. The branches are now carrying developing flowers rather than simply supporting vegetative growth. The spacing between the flowering sites gives us a good view of the individual structures, while the remaining foliage continues supporting the plant through this important stage. And this is where the earlier selective training and cleaning start making more sense. We're no longer trying to create the plant. The plant has already created herself. Now we're simply supporting the structure she chose. That's something I really enjoy about this run. The grower starts with an idea. The plant then says: "That's nice... but here's what I'm actually going to do." 😂 And our job is to adapt. ✂️ Selective Cleaning – Keep It Sensible The selective defoliation from last week has left the plant with a little more breathing room without compromising the healthy canopy. And we're going to continue treating defoliation as a tool rather than a scheduled event. If a leaf is blocking an important flowering site... we can remove it. If a leaf is damaged or no longer contributing... we can remove it. If a part of the canopy is becoming unnecessarily crowded... we can open it. But if a healthy leaf is doing exactly what we want it to do? Let her work. 🌿 There's no reason to remove healthy foliage simply because we're in flower. The goal is balance. Enough foliage to support the plant. Enough space for light and airflow. And enough openness to avoid creating unnecessary dense pockets around the developing flowers. It's a living canopy, not a haircut appointment. 😂✂️ 💨 Airflow & Flower Development As the flowers continue increasing in size and density, airflow becomes increasingly important. The room is carrying twelve different plants, and every phenotype creates its own microclimate. That's another reason I like keeping an eye on canopy density rather than treating every plant identically. Chem Brûlée has plenty of foliage, but we're keeping an eye on the areas where leaves and flowers begin getting too crowded. A little extra space can help air move through the plant. And as the flowers continue developing, that's something I definitely want. We're not trying to eliminate every gram of humidity from the room. We're simply trying to avoid unnecessary stagnant pockets around increasingly dense flowers. Healthy airflow is part of the overall strategy. 💡 Light – Give the Flowers What They Need The lighting setup continues providing the room with strong overhead illumination, while the additional inner and under-canopy lighting helps support areas that naturally receive less light. And Chem Brûlée's structure gives us plenty of interesting angles to work with. The developing flowers aren't all sitting at exactly the same height. They're distributed throughout the plant. That means the combination of canopy structure and supplemental lighting becomes particularly useful. The objective isn't simply: "More light." It's: "Useful light reaching as much of the productive plant as reasonably possible." And that's an important distinction. More isn't automatically better. We're looking for balance between light intensity, temperature, CO₂, nutrition and plant health. Right now, she appears very comfortable with the environment she's receiving. ⚗️ Feeding – No Need to Reinvent Anything The feeding strategy remains consistent with last week. We're continuing with: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L With Lemon Kick / pH Plus used as required to maintain the target pH. Current solution: ⚗️ pH – approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC – approximately 2.0 mS/cm And once again, I'm not interested in changing something just because another week has passed. She's growing. She's flowering. She's producing resin. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. Those are all good reasons to stay consistent. The plants don't receive extra points for having their nutrient recipe changed every seven days. Sometimes the best adjustment is: no adjustment. 🌡️ Current Environment The room continues running with a remarkably stable flowering environment: 🌡️ Day temperature – 29°C 🌙 Night temperature – 25°C 💧 Relative humidity – 60% 🥥 Substrate temperature – 26°C 💦 Solution temperature – 25°C ⚗️ pH – ~6.0 ⚡ EC – ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ – 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule – 12/12 ? Pot size – 15 L 💧 Watering – approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h The environment remains stable, and that stability is particularly valuable now. We're moving further into flower. The flowers are becoming denser. Resin production is increasing. And consistency gives the plants the opportunity to focus on development rather than constantly adapting to environmental changes. 🌙 Day vs Night One thing I continue paying attention to is the relationship between the daytime and nighttime conditions. We're running around 29°C during the day and 25°C at night, giving us a noticeable but controlled temperature difference. That daily rhythm is part of the overall environment rather than something we're looking at in isolation. Temperature, humidity, light intensity, CO₂ and plant transpiration all interact. And that's why I prefer looking at the room as a system. You can change one number and accidentally change several other things along with it. For now, the system is behaving nicely. So once again... don't fix what isn't broken. 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs really made me appreciate her. The wider photographs show the plant's overall structure. But the close-ups? That's where she really starts showing off. The developing flowers are becoming increasingly complex. The pistils are still beautiful and prominent. And the resin is beginning to give the flowers that characteristic frosted appearance. There are moments where I look through the camera and think: "Okay... now I see you." 😂❄️ That's what makes documenting a grow so rewarding. The plant changes gradually enough that when you see her every day, you don't always notice how much has happened. Then you compare photographs from previous weeks... and suddenly the difference is obvious. 🌿 My Little Jungle And honestly, I'm having an absolute blast with this run. There are twelve plants in there. Twelve different personalities. Twelve different structures. And now twelve different flowering stories developing in front of me. I walk into that room and sometimes feel like I'm Tarzan wandering around his little jungle. 😂🌿 Checking flowers. Looking underneath leaves. Watching the canopy. Taking photographs. Looking for anything unusual. And most importantly... learning. That's what this entire adventure has become for me. Every plant teaches something. Every phenotype gives us another comparison. Every week gives us another opportunity to adapt. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A is teaching us that beauty doesn't need to come from size. Sometimes it's sitting right there in the flowers. Covered in frost. Waiting for you to notice. 🔮 Looking Ahead The next week should be another interesting step forward. I'm expecting: ❄️ Increasing resin production 🌸 Continued flower swelling ? Further pistil development 🌿 Healthy foliage supporting the flowers 📈 More definition and density throughout the developing colas And what am I planning to do? Honestly... Not much. 😂 I'll continue observing. I'll keep the environment stable. I'll maintain the current feeding strategy while watching her response. I'll clean selectively if the plant gives me a reason to. And I'll keep photographing her. Because at this stage, patience is becoming increasingly important. We've built the structure. We've established the flowers. Now we let Chem Brûlée put the work into them. 🍮 Small? No. Her Own Kind of Beautiful. That's probably the biggest message I take from this week. Chem Brûlée Pheno A may not be the biggest girl in the room. But stand in front of her. Look closely. Look at the flowers. Look at the structure. Look at the pistils. Look at that frost beginning to build. She's doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. There is no reason for her to compete with another phenotype. She doesn't need to be taller. She doesn't need to be wider. She doesn't need to stretch another twenty centimetres just so we can call her impressive. She's already impressive. Because she's becoming herself. And that's exactly what this 8×8 Adventure is all about. 💚 One More Week, One More Lesson Every week I become more convinced that growing is less about controlling plants and more about learning how to understand them. We create the environment. We provide the light. We provide the nutrition. We provide water. We make adjustments when necessary. But ultimately... the plant decides what she's going to become. Chem Brûlée Pheno A has made her decision. She's going to be elegant. She's going to be beautiful. She's going to build flowers. And apparently... she's going to get very, very frosty. ❄️🍮🔥 And I am absolutely here for it. 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚 Every week, this project becomes another little lesson in genetics, observation and patience. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document this journey and share it with the growing community. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Chem Brûlée genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what these phenotypes can become. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the plants throughout this adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for providing the lighting powering this jungle. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate those lower and inner flowering areas. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep an eye on the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Whether you're here every week, dropping comments, asking questions, taking inspiration, or simply enjoying the photographs... thank you. 💚 This adventure has become so much more than twelve plants growing in one room. It's twelve different stories. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A has another beautiful chapter for us this week. She may not be the biggest. She doesn't need to be. She's beautiful. She's building frost. She's developing her flowers. She's doing exactly what she needs to do. So let's stop comparing her to everyone else... and simply let her shine. Because she deserves it. 🍮❄️🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the jungle. 🌿📸

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍. Website link here: https://www.mars-hydro.com/grow-tent/buy-mars-hydro-grow-tent-24x48x70-2-x-4-cabinet-closet-grow-box-upgraded-diamond-1680d-mylar-for-sale ViparSpectra 240w Quantum Board: This thing is sleek and slick in terms of design. Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

This one is the slowest to progress into flower so far, but she is transitioning and stretching pretty good. I have them on half bloom and half grow now. Will probably cut out the maxigro in about a week and start them in a pinch if flower boosters. Other than that everything is running smooth.

------GENERAL COMMENT------ As planed I lowered the base nutrient to 2ml, and took a break from Cal Mag, to release the N a bit, green is on point now. Tomorrow will catch up with the Cal Mag schedule as usual. Time for some overdrive, for the rest all good, girls are developing well and buds are getting bigger, no issues. Smelling delicious! Hope I had some Terpinator to give a go... ------SM.BB COMMENT------ BB is maturing faster you already can see I have cloudy Trichomes, she will be a fast finisher as it looks like...
