Question. Should I turn my 132s up in my flower room or turn the 288 in 3k on like 20%?

I turn them up slowly a tad bit daily and if I don’t see stress I keep bumping until I’m at full strength. Seriously would consider grabbing a lux meter it’ll make your life a lot
Easier. There’s no guess work with the lux meter and you can control the daily
Bumps and have solid data to go off of.

This is true . Reason I’m asking is my 132s are 3500k and my 288 is 3k . Do I want to induce more red before the stretch or do I run with the 3500k and just bump it up ?

Ah
I see I’d run your 3500’s up first and then the reds so you’re not getting more stretch than needed by the same sword not enough intensity will get you some stretch too so just balance it out if possible. Use enough 3500 k to get your intensity and then add the 3k later on.

K I’ll switch the 3k off and up the 3500 132s they seem to like that 3k though

I’d leave them on just not have it be the majority of intensity. Honestly though I’ve started and finished under a 3k spectrum and never really had a noticeable difference in regards to stretch. If they’re happy leave it be.

Think my 132s are on half or lower and my 288 is at like 20 percent. The tropic thunder fan leaves are massive . They even started to try to stand up . The skunk is starting to stretch . Very excited to see these take off. Think this is one of the better environments I’ve ever had for them . Still head scratcher on my ppm and ph going wack since I flipped

Well fuck. That’s the buds we are looking for appearance wise right? That’s what I’m after atleast. Ok I’ll take it. Should be good bud.

Think too late it’s startig to bud. Guess I should have topped probably. I might can supercrop those extra tall limbs but that sure would make it look ugly

With your lights man look for tacos. I have one mars hydro ts1000 and some plants I have to move to side of tent to not taco. Too much light. If not praying though put it closer

Push the limits man. Lower your lights until your leaves do this.
If they really fold like a V.... too close.

Don’t need to lower I can just increase my watts . Mine are all pretty much like that . I just wanted opinion on adding more red at this time or keep it how is. Technically they’re still in veg mode for a week or 2,

I personally like as much red as I can get but that’s just me maybe.

I do too for flower but they’re in a transition . When they’re fully going trust me 288 and 132s will be maxed

Should be somewhere in the ball park if you’ve done everything right. That chick is a phenomenal grower that probably has everything dialed in to the T she’s commercial so it should be the perfect environment and her feeding schedule should be on point everything she touches looks like this. But again things will vary because every set up is different. From environment, nute line up/ feeding schedule, lighting so on and so
Forth so don’t expect yours and hers to look
Exactly the same. Should be close but again they’re two different grows
