I've been reading up on controlling the stretch and read that a MH light during the early stages of flowering helps slow it so I changed the bulb back to the MH and cleaned the entire tent.
I've been gone a few days, I took my son back to Texas (or as I affectionately call it hell) after summer vacation and visited my family. Everyday while I was there the temps were over 100F the highest was 106F all the while back home the temps were great it's 55F right now in Colorado Springs!!! It's good to be back!!!
I switched back to the HPS (I don't think I switched to the MH early enough to matter) after the 21st day of flower and I tilted the hood to maximize the light. I don't like the conversion bulb for flowering I will be upgrading to a 600w the 600w I thought I had turned out to be another 1kw so I have three 1kw switchable and one 400w MH.
Not to much has changed, here are some 30 days flowering pix.
I picked up another full time contract so now I have two full time jobs, that's why I haven't updated in a while but here's a quickie.
I've been following the FF's feed chart minus Grow Big and adding the Jack's for nutes. I alternate feeding and watering and only do it when the container is light(as far as weight).
The trics are cloudy/clear still with no amber(which is what I'm waiting for).
The smell is very skunky and pungent, I now have 2 plug in's in every room of my house(time for a carbon filter!!!).
The others in the pix are a Sour D bagseed and the LST in the back is GWS. With these 2 I have cut the FF's nute strength in half but am still using .5 tsp of Jack's(full strength).
The humidity here has been 90's to 100% with all this rain. Fort Carson on the south side of town has gotten 14" in a week. In my tent it's been 53-68% and I haven't seen any signs of mold.
Drooling over your results. Learning from this for sure. :) Thanks for the update - great looking buds!
Nice job. "Sweet smell of colitas, rising up through the air". Thought I saw ambers tri's?
