These mothers grew too big for my space and lights so I had them some 2 weeks with no lights except our bathroom lightfixtures which I left in dark for not more than 8 hours. Boss (Wife) not happy, they were on sink counter near mirror lites!! They are towering over 2 clones from the taller one I cut nearly 6 weeksago and tried my first attempt at LST on. Before picture
My 400w switch ballast can only raise 8-10" higher and they were pretty leafy and branchy and to tall to flower as wAS so here they are now I guess I kinda Low STress tied tall branches over and and plucked handfuls of big fans and many potential clones it felt like 50 I found alot of mite damaged leaves and pulled anything that was eaten from then sprayed a mite spray last night those damn mites My biggest stress
I guess Im wondering what I should maybe expect ?
They are day 1 flower under MH now gonna run 16/12 for a week,I have times written and will daily change my 24 hour timer. Its my version of lite manipulation I read in our forum that seemedto hard forme It should give them 24 hours extra light the first week then I will switch to a HPS bulb an put them at 12/12 basically when they hit my original start time. Reused FFOF soil slightly amended with castings I use GO biothrive vegan nutes and last 2 waterings 2tsp grow and 2tsp bloom an sum molasses a gal and I will continue that til 12/12 then 4tsp bloom and summolassesand hopefully get in 2 waterings of homemade areated tea spacedout b4 harvest rh averages 40% and temps light on 80 and off at 70 They are 2 dif bag strains clones cut mid July this year from seeds I started and sexed then put extras outside in June.
Im open too any and all suggestions that may better my grow or warn me what may be coming my way
Thankyou upfront on replys
