Date: 8/3/22 - Day# 38 in RDWC
Strain - Barney's Farm Mimosa x Orange Punch photo clones x 4
Grow space - Vivosun 48x48x80 tent in basement
Light height and reading - Vivosun VS4000 400w LED @ 80% 16 Inches away - 55k LUX
Extraction - AC Infinity 6" extraction fan with Controller69
2x 6" oscillating fans + Tower oscillating fan + 12" floor fan
Nutrients - Mega Crop, Voodoo Juice, Pirhana, Hydroguard, z7, Purpinator
Medium - 8" Netpots with clay balls in RDWC system (5x13g buckets)
Water - Carbon-filtered well water (100ppm/8.0pH)
I think it's time to flip to flower on this grow. The right side of the tent is full and growing above the net. The left side is still filling in a bit (thanks to a broken arm), but it looks like it'll be done in a day or two. I'm flipping the light schedule tonight to 12/12 (8a-8p) and will let them start stretching. The first net is 16" above the pots, and the tallest bud is at 22". I'll put a second net about 10" above the first to manage the stretch and make sure they're growing evenly and spaced appropriately. I can still use the bottom net to tie down/LST branches if needed. The goal is to manage the stretch so that all of the buds are the same distance from the light.
They're still drinking about 2 gallons/day right now. I'm adding full-stregth nutes with enough pH down to keep it in the 5.8-6.0 range. I'll keep it here for another week, then I'll do a res change.
I learned from the last grow that I really don't want to mess with the flowers, especially after pistils have formed. So I want to get everything in place in the next week so that I can just let them grow into the second net without much handling. With any luck I'll have a tent full of flowers next week

And I can't read my own writing most of the time, so it goes straight into google sheets. I'm enjoying your journal as well, looks like you should have a nice haul soon 
I'm looking forward to just letting these ladies grow for a couple of weeks. Hope everyone (in the northern hemisphere) is enjoying your summer
. Another month and we'll start cooling down, so go out and grab some of that sunshine while you can!
