So this is a couple minutes ago. You can see the couple highest colas on the back left have a ton of pistils shooting off of them and that they have been lowered. Everything else seems pretty good. Well that's up to date. As I say I will post some chronological pics in the end. Hoping all that new growth and tacoing on those few colas from the light stress calm down now. Time to water the girls.

The style of your grow. I'm the same. Big thick plant. short.

Brother you need a walk in closet. You'll flourish on a grow.

Going to move my setup to my sons old room. Will give me more room and ability to get into the sides of the tent, pretty cramped in my basement. I have old school arcade games and pinball stuff in the way. I used to rebuild them as a hobby but they take up a bit of space. Also going to set up a second tent for drying so I can keep the conditions perfect. Gonna be awesome.

I think the tent I use is a 2'x4'x6?

I was using a 6" fan with speed control. Then I came across a brand new 4" iPower fan with the duct at a local pawnshop.

The conditions are by Inkbird humidity controller. Don't ask me what humidity. I'd have to go look at journals.

Nice. It's a 2x4x6 tent I have for drying/starting plants. I have 2 of the IOBIONICS 4" full kits and just picked up an Infinity 4" with the humidity/temp controller. Also have an Inkbird with wifi in there hooked up to a small analog heater. When I move upstairs I will be setting up an auto water system with a 400gph submersible pump.

Hey. Keep it alive because after awhile. It gets to be robotic. When you're past the problems. Then it's a seed and 5 months of babysitting.

My light comes on at 7am. I've been lazy and poured fert solution to them at 8:30.

I need more water per watering...

Zero drama.

I know this is a bit late but I also have three HLG 550 Bspecs with the wrong labels on them. I believe I got them during the switchover as well from the 550 to the 600 Bspec. My labels say HLG 650 R. Got mine right from Ohio.

They work so good I said screw it and have been very happy with them since my purchase. Would buy from them again but I'll throw a joke at them about the labels when I make my next purchase.

Bud shots from the 3rd, canopy shot from the 7th. Lights out right now. One plant stretched too much and got too close to the light. A couple colas got some foxtails but I lowered the plant 5" and dropped light output to 550 watts. Was going to supercrop those branches but there was no room to lay them down so I left them. Hoping I stopped that in it's tracks. Thankfully it was only on a couple. I will throw a bunch of pics from beginning to end in a grow journal when done so people can see it all the way along.

I love supercropping, but I try not to do it in flower, especially late in flower. Could cause extra stress and make it more prone to developing nanners.

I supercrop my House Crack all the time, lol.

They were all even until the flip. The one in the front left has taken less water it's whole life and is smaller and the back left shot up like mother. I needed to flip them earlier but just didn't get to it. It's cool thought, a couple of buds don't look as nice is fine, it will still smoke as good, well I hope so but I drink and smoke pot so you can't necessarily listen to me bongsmilie

What light distance did you end up at?

12 to 18 inches. The plant in the back shot up well above the rest. Next run will be no closer than 18 inches. Looks like 18 to 24 inches will be best for flower with my new light. I purposely left the one too close to see what it did and it started foxtailing. With the lower height and reduced wattage it seems to be sorting itself out now. I just really wanted to know how they reacted. All the bud that stayed below 18 inches is great. New light feels like starting all over, it's been fun. The total white topped foxtailing is now looking a bit better and isn't shooting all new pistils constantly so that's a relief.

It's a learning curve with each new setup. It looks like I got it sorted with minor damage to a couple buds and they seem to have stopped throwing tails since adjusting. Its actually been interesting to watch. Next grow I have a great reference to start with even if each strain is different.
