thanks man, personally i am happy with 14 ounces but 20 would be even better if we can keep the quality.
looking not so bad, am at 400 ppfd now and from today theyre on 14h light (with EOD).

trained, spreaded and deleafed allready, but they for sure need more treatments.
think i can tuck them under the net 1 or 2 times, that will be about it and i have to let them go then.
temps arent great, max 25c day, 20 night, about 55% RH.
EC 1.5 seems they like some nitrogen.

i allready fear the high temparature and humdity end of flower tbh.

a good 700 ppfd at the canopy, mainlight at 150W, 660nm 15W, buddies 60w.
over day its reaching 28C easily and over 60% RH.

front right is a monster with very huge leaves, drinking tons of water.
its a bit lanky, but growing strong, was always the number 1 of the 4.

now simply 12/12, would say theyre day 6 or 7 when we count from 14h a day.
could switch to night light hours, but better not now as day is good atm.
not sure how they take such a switch late in flower?
so far i always decided that before the run.

You would have to do it little by little. Maybe one hour att a time. And you could continue with 13hr night, 11 hour day till end of flower. Ii wouldntt worry about yield loss, youu have all thee light you need in that tent and could give the same amount in 11hours. Justt options.

bit unpredictable, next 16 days wont be hot, could become a relative cold summer.
have to see, end of flower is a bit to go, there it can be hot near august.

yesterday morning
P1030885.JPG
todays evening
P1030895.JPG

theyre fine so far, am at a good 800 ppfd at the tops and think its enough.
all should be in check more or less, maybe a tad too high with the fertilizer.

front right, the no.1 is a monster plant growing very strong.
no.2 front left, stayed quite small.
the runt, no.3 is strong and overtook no.4 next to it.
no.4 is showing the first flowers, more then the others.

They look damn close to perfect, color, stance, tips general vigor. How many watts for 800ppfd? This one will break the bank...

about 170W for the mainlight, 15W for the 660nm reds and 63 or such for the buddies.
yesterday i was also inpressed by their posture, tonight not soo much.
theyre close to perfect but something is at the edge atm.
could be simply a tad too much ppfd, after some sleep they should be better.
temps are quite high atm, maybe also a bit too much, reached 30c in there today.
EC is still 1.4 in, needed to flush a bit to get to 1.6 out, looks like they drank quite some due to the temp.
first time hydroton in hempys, may setup some autowatering soon.
