Lots of pics, some little room improvements, some girls showing off....
I misspoke on the last page on an update saying 10 days since flip, it had only been a week. This update is 10 days since flip. Stretch is going about 2"/day, check out the before and after.
June 18, barely as tall as the humidifier, 2nd pic they were pruned to the top 5 nodes.
June 29
Needed to diffuse the fan coming into veg as well as block some light, put some roofing vents over the 8" holes (can see them in earlier pics). Also put up these strings with cute little beads to give me a constant easy 40" reference from the bottom of the lights. 2 questions about these lights: anybody suggest running them closer than the 1meter/40" mfg specs? Is it worth running them on the 1150 setting or am I just wasting electricity? (I may have to get annoying and poke around other places for this).
So pretty!
I can't even look at the phone any more to take these pictures, they are almost up to my chest, I have to hold it above my head and tippy toe...(admittedly vertically challenged here, us hobbitses like to be near the earth)
They are getting so crazy its tempting to prune but I feel I should wait till after stretch to do so. Planning to put up a net at the end of the week which will spread them out vis a vis their thickass canopy.

Are those the double ended HPS lights? How do you like them?
The one thing I don't like about their design is that whacky ballast. Good thing you have lots of height. In many rooms, it appears you'd lose a good foot of growth. I wonder why they didn't mount them horizontally (?).

Yea, Gavitas, they pump!
They really aren't designed to be used in situations without a ton of height anyway. Most people run them closer than they should, and get bleaching and foxtailing because of it. You only lose about 6-8" with them mounted that way. Also you can get a remote ballast setup for these but it creates electrical interference that will fuck with your AC and other shits, which is its own PITA.
They were designed as supplemental lighting for greenhouses.

So I emailed Gavita yesterday and they responded to me in depth within 24 hours, so fucking cool.
Sent me a worksheet to design lamp placement, gave me tons of specific questions answered info.
The main one I will share now before I go jump on a plane.
The 1150 setting is more efficient in terms of watts/lumens than any other on the lamp. The ballasts are rated at 50k hours regardless. The bulbs will obviously degrade faster at 1150w.
Suggested distance from canopy:
3' @ 1kw
3'7" @ 1150w
Strongly considering raising to 1150w for about a month starting the last 10days of stretch.
cheers!

That's a pretty nice looking setup you've got there! Plants are nice and shapely, too!

3 important questions, ifn ya don mind
1. I have not had to put water in my barrel in weeks as it keeps full with dehuey/ac runoff. Do I need to supplement this water as it is essentially distilled? (0 ppm as opposed to my nice tapwater?). I am running an airstone in thar.
2. should I trim up? I feel like I've opened up the canopy with the netting enough to just let it go, I think the small stuff will be popcorn but not larf.
3. The big one: CAT DRENCH TIMING: they are eating about 15-20 gallons voraciously every 2 days. Tomorrow they want more. Is it time for my first Cat Drench?! 15 days since flip to 12/12. It is pretty easy to see from my last update on the 29th, there was only the smallest evidence of flower compared to now.
Turned up the lights to 1150. Net is like ~ 48" from lamps.
Thank you guys I love you.
Happy 4th!
FWIW tip burn seems pretty common, but not universal by any means.

In general I'd say things look good. Got a few jacked up leaves (very few), no tacoing on new growth though, it is a little pale compared to the dark green of the rest of the canopy.
nothing to see here
Drank 20 gals today (every 2 lately) did a light GE (total about 20-25ml) with 2.5ml tea/5gal.
Also hit with destress.
Dialed timer back to 4pm off, so now is 11.5/12.5, next week 11/13.
They only stretched for about 12 days, day 16 now.
No sign of pests.

Yea they're in #15s, probably closer to about 8-9gal in each. Gonna add another kit to these 2 for next round to make em full 15s. I kinda screwed up on the scrog but I don't really wanna redo it, heading over now to give em a big transwater before their first CD vis a vis scrubby strategy.
Remember, I gave mine 10 mils of trans, 2 mils of tea and a tablespoon of epsom salts and im using 10 gallon pots growing heavy feeding OGs. Plan and make your adjustments from there. Remember, what worked for me might not work for you bro

I can't see any appreciable differences from what I did today, update later.
