My 8hr flowering experiment

Wow
I'm pumped about the turn around in the veg tent.
Idk about all the numbers and details but these lights are kicking ass now.
Only got about 50-60w to each board and can't imagine how bright they would be with 100+
Think the bottle neck in my perpetual has been fixed. Should be way bigger plants now with more tops from here on out.
Exciting times!
Also called health Canada yesterday afternoon and apparently my lic has been approved and should be in the mail shortly so that's reassuring. Only held my paperwork hostage since march.

Got the renewal ready to send in the second it touches down.

Pulled all the plants out today to do some trimming and cleanup.
Most were flopping around and needed some support.
Took a few pics and thought I'd throw them up.
This is the false teeth plant that is roughly 40" tall and smelling sweetIMG_2922.JPGIMG_2924.JPG IMG_2925.JPG
Here's the grandpasbreath reveg for everyone that says it's a waste of time
She's grown back a few extra buds

Had to go back and do some day counting to see where these are at and 6/8 are on day 40 so another week or two yet.
Going to give the bodhi testers two weeks to get some legs then I think I'm going to up pot everything in the tent refill the cabinet and flower both the cab and the tent simultaneously.
Might try my hand at taking cuts off of everything first but with my luck who knows.

Should be interesting to see how those lights flower with such low wattage. Worst case scenario I'll order a bigger driver and diy a heatsink

Gotta love being able to spend some time getting your hands dirty.
Pulled everything out of my veg tent and cleaned it out proper.
Chopped the more cowbell reveg....was depressing me to watch it suffer so much. Thing just didn't want to live.
Was also able to chop 4 plants showing early male flower formations.
Still probably my favourite perk of glr is the early sexing so less time gets wasted.
Up potted another dank Sinatra and think that cuts will be taken this time and a monocrop of ds is in the near future.
I just love the giant Jurassic leathery looking Indy leaves.

The bubba testers got a light shot of root excel and everyone else got some sensi grow and a light Epsom foliar.

That's true in soil to an extent. I don't like my root zone lower than the 60 degree range. I had to put insulated panels under my pots in the basement or I get weird problems.
I feel the need to qualify my statement; I was happy if the RDWC water was 65 at least once a day, usually right at the end of the dark cycle. It could then warm up into the low 70s by the end of the light cycle, which certainly didn't hurt growth.

In fact, I am of the opinion that the daily swing was beneficial.

Had to cull the Hindu hp this morning
Shitty buzz
Went and checked them this morning and he was leaned back flexing his newly formed balls.
The field trip looks like it is a girl but I shouldn't count my chickens just yet.
So now there's room for one at the inn.

My favourite part....deciding what to put in next to replace the hhp
May just pick the biggest in the tent but it seems to easy

Went on culling spree in the veg tent today.
Had one space monkey and two more cowbell showing male.
One of the mc was full on herm had female preflower on top but had balls forming mid stem.
One lucky charm and dank Sinatra also got chopped.
Strange how quickly these plants are mature enough to show sex.
Able to spread things out a lil better in the tent and pay closer attention to what's left.
I'll take cuts off everything next week for safe keeping in case I find a keeper.
Shouldn't be hard to find a few worth keeping out of 30plus

We shall see

Self imposed bean break is over I managed a lil over a week lmao so since a fellow member was kind enough to send some gifts I couldn't resist.

5 Sakura f2
4 gg4 x lbl s1
3 ecsd x dd
1 Hindu hp went into paper towel.

Everything in the tent got topped today and a solid feed. Hopefully they come back even bushier next week.
