HI Crash,
Well written, and I really like your setup. It is going to be a jungle in there. I grow ONE plant under 600W, you grow 9
A few questions (and sorry if I missed the answers to these)
1. Is this a 4x4 tent?
2. You said hydro, but I didn't see what method? Is this ebb and flow or top feed? How often are you irrigating?
3. Do you have an estimate or goal on your yield?
4. You said you had a deficiency and had to flush, which fixed the problem. Are you doing anything now to prevent that from happening again? I'm having a magnesium deficiency myself.
Comments:
>>>I really only fimmed because i did it quite late and was thinking that if i topped it would take longer for the plants to recover.
I agree here. I THINK my plants finish a bit sooner when I DON'T top in flower. Topping or fimming disrupts auxins and I've read this can delay flowering a bit. I've been experimenting in this area, and I've noticed I don't top, this strain finished in 8 weeks. I topped the plant (a week into flower) I am getting ready to cut now, and it's been 9 weeks and it's not ready. When I say "ready", I'm referring to the presence of amber colored trics. I can't say for certain yet, but like I said, I'm experimenting here. I just put another one of the same strain into flower this week (I have not topped it in the last two weeks), and I'm going to see if it finishes quicker.
Another comment about topping / fimming in your tent; Since you have 9 plants in such a small space, we will want to focus light on 4-6 colas per plant. If it were me, I wouldn't FIM or top in this situation. Instead of trying to make plants more bushy, I would actually be cutting off any branches near the bottom that are not getting light, to thin them out and get more energy to the top colas.
>>>1 of the girls (front center) is much taller than the others, this is the only one that seems to be growing in a real xmas tree kind of shape.
She looks like a beast. Get a clone from her.
>>>I did a big snip of foliage to give some light to the lower bud sites
Be careful here. Leaves photosynthesize and provide energy to buds. Taking a leaf here and there is ok (especially in last 2 wks of flower), but I would go sparingly. As I was saying before, it's going to be a jungle in there and I would focus energy toward top bud sites. Lower bud sites use up energy and should be cut off if not getting any light. I very rarely take off fan leaves. Instead, I'll just tuck a fan leaf under a branch
I like your setup, especially that light fixture. You're making that 600watts go a long way, and I wouldn't mess with CFL's either.
I am subscribed and I can't wait to see the rest of your grow.
so beautiful! look these girls reaching for the sky! was this soon after turning the lights on?

i would love to see that comparison grow when you are settled. i dont like to trim becuase my buds turn into these leafy things to make up for the lack of fan leaves.
