Gradually ramped light down from 18 hours to 12 after power outages due to the fire, and it was about good time to flip anyway.
It is so much easier to control temperature during the winter in my space. The lights keep the space at a pretty steady 74 F.
I only popped two seeds but these are very consistent plants. One was transplanted to a bigger pot a week later and was slightly smaller. Lots of buds forming! They aren’t super fussy about nutrients—still,I haven’t pushed PPM and am keeping Ph in the 6-6.8 range.
I’m using peony rings as support and to spread a little but I am not training for a perfectly flat canopy as I had excellent popcorn nugs in my last grow even with the lights over 2x further than optimal.
Defoliated the lower branches but I am not defoliating aggressively, but will continue to remove any withering leaves.
Sorry for the slow updates. The fire has been pretty traumatic for my city and myself, and I’m just getting back to normal life. My home, family and pets are safe, and the fire is mostly contained.
Thank you for checking out my diary. Happy holidays and I hope Santa Ja brings you a giant tree!
