Hello My 420 Friends:
I'd like to share some pictures of my girls in Budding Cycle Day 33 - Sensible Seeds Medicann OG Kush.
I'm flowering these girls in my new grow room under a 400W HPS (2100K) along with ten (10) 23W CFL's (6500K, 5000K, 3500K and 2700K) for a total of 630W combined. I vegged them under a 400W Metal Halide (4200K) and six (6) 23W CFL's using roughly the same color temps as above for a total of 538W combined.
This particular grow was hampered by a number of factors - the most challenging of which was battling very high temperatures while configuring my new grow room (in an attic). The girls suffered some heat stress which slowed growth for ten (10) days or so. The heat, coupled with determining adequate light placement resulted in some additional stretching. Improving ventilation, maintaining optimal grow temperatures and compensating for the reduction in lighting was a steep learning curve yet highly instructive.
The upside? No apparent reduction in yield
I chose to top, lollipop and back build the buds on my girls as I have to contend with height restrictions. If the 8-10 week flowering period is accurate I anticipate a great harvest. Any suggestions/feedback especially from those with experience growing this particular strain would be very much appreciated. I can't wait to try it.
Thanks!
