Just prepping the room to go into flower in the next few days. I have just expanded the room with sheeting. 2 of the 6 will move out into the created area and go under the geekbeast light for flower.

9 plants in total.
Th seeds underdawg
Th seeds french macaroon
Th seeds stracciatella
G13 candy something

I got 6 short and bushy phenos and 3 slightly more lanky ones. The are currently sorted so the lanky plants are at one end.

Lighting is...
- 4 hlg qb96 elite cannons
- 2 panels with 3 hlg qb288 boards (sometimes I add on some veros on the end of these)
- And the geekbeast panel that I'm testing @geekbeThatni won in their competition

medium is coco in 20 and 25 ltr fabric pots

Nutes - veg+bloom hard/tap with shine. Ph 5.9 ec will be 1.8

You'll definitely find a keeper or 3 with those beans. T.H. Seeds are my favorite breeder by far.

I hope so... someone gave me some underdawg about 10 years ago in NYC. It was amazingly tasty. I have tried to find a good one since and not had great luck. I am quite sure I have mislabelled a lot of them.... either way should have something good.

Rearranged everything and flipped the lights today.

Now need to add netting and canes. Also do a clean...Also need to seal the room a little better and add insulation. All good at the moment... cruising at 25c rh of 60.

Switched the geekbeast over to flowering mode. I'm hoping that the shorter plants stretch quite a bit and the bigger ones... somehow I'll be able to control.

Keeping a close eye on these daily. I have now been on veg+bloom nutes from hydroponic research for 3 days. Running at ec1.75 and ph 5.9. Feed for 6mins per day and that has most of them achieving run off.

Flipped 6 days ago so I'm seeing tip yellowing as you would expect with shorter light period in the 1st few weeks.

I'm also running slightly cooler at 24c both night and day to try and reduce stretch. Will be back up at 25 to 26 after week 2 is over. The @geekbeais also running on blue mode for the 1st 2 weeks to try and control stretch for for 2 underdawgs.

Everything is cruising nicely though

Start of week 2 now... half way through stretch and boosting the silicone here....

All looking good. Geekbeast is doing OK. The plants had a few dry days due to blocked pipes under the geekbeast and I think that stunted them a little... back on track now with some decent run off each day.

Got one that's really beanstalking... but more of them are not stretching too much. Really got the sizing good this time....

End of week 2 another week till I go through and lollipop...

Temps and humidity seem pretty stable and in a good range. Could go warmer but trying to keep this grow cooler this time to try and get better flavours.

Things are transitioning nicely here. A few more days til we defoliate.

Experiencing some really high humidity at about 90%... had to crank up the air flow... bitnits mainly down to the weather cooling down and a lot more foliage now.

I took 2 cuts off each one about a week ago and about half are rooted. Not got one of each yet though and I'm stressing about it. I hope I get one of each so I don't have to try stand root some lollipopped shoots. It's too late for my liking to revert back to veg.... dont like mostercropping.

This room has filled nicely. Started defoliation early. It's day 19 today. Concerned about the 3 taller plants at the end getting too close to the light. Backed the light up as much as possible.

All looking healthy with some firm favorites for the next run.

Still waiting for some cuts to root though...
