Yeah dude, they did bush up. Not too much vertical, cause of the fim job. I also just transplanted to the slabs so once they get rooted into those Ill up the co2 ppm to full strength and we should see a nice growth spurt straight through flower. I cant wait for this to unfold.
hopefully we can keep it up.
They're looking great so far. Have you grown this strain before. If its the typical 2x-3x flower stretch I would say to flower them today. If it is notorious for little to no flower stretch, let them go another week. 1 quick suggestion about your screen though. I would make the squares smaller. I know when you look around you will see a lot of different sizes. Ideal is 2"x2". I use 2"x3". You will get a much more dense canopy this way and it makes it much easier to evenly space the tips and get them right where you want them. I promise you will like the results much better in the end and its not to late to change it yet. From the looks of it you coud just run a line through the middle of each section lenght and width wise and it would be about perfect. Hope this helps and Im subscribed, I thought I already was but I mush have just kept clicking the link in your sig when you were posting pics in the 600w.
Where did you find the smaller square screen? Ive looked around and Ive found smaller but its the thicker flat plastic type which kinda blocks light from getting through the screen. This size is the only one that Ive found that had the thinner line. I grew one of these purple kush with my last run and Id say that the stretch was less than 2x so it sounds like I should wait at least a few more days. Btw Im runnin two 1000s hereso it wasnt in the 600w we were just talkin a few weeks back and you were sayin that you wanted to see a 1000w scrog and hadnt yet so I told you that I was about to do this one. Anyway glad to have ya subbed integra. Ive been watchin your grows for the last 8 mnths or so and absolutely love what youve done with your setup man. Ill be tryin to do the best I can to use the screen ive got but will be lookin for smaller if I can find it.
They have plenty of water, those slabs are soaked still. I think they are drooping in the pic cause I was just pruning and bending the hell outa those little bitches.
Thanks BR I feel the same about yours. Must be nice to have such a large area to work in. Not that Im complaining, I love my shed!
I think that If I were only running with the green crack I would flip now, but since the pk doesnt double up Im gonna hold off. Theres the problem with having multiple strains I guess. I to like the ability to reach through the screen. and with the pk it really doesnt want to weave as well as the gc at all. I think I really like the gc and am wishing that I didnt get rid of the mother. Im gonna take a few clones of that before flower. It runs under the screen like a vine and spreads well. Well see how it yeilds also and make some decisions after this round.
This is just a basic ebb and flow (flood and drain) all rockwool 6" cubes on 4" slabs 3 cubes per 3' slab with 18 total plants on a 3'x6' tray. Im lighting it with 2 lumatek digital 1000's in flower and in veg Im just hand watering in rockwool under 2 400w standard sunleaves ballasts. My mother pk plant is also in the veg box and has her own euro systems 400w hps magnetic ballast w/ mh conversion bulb. All reflectars are hydro farm air cooled 2-8" for flower 2-6" for veg and my old euro systems 4 inch air cooled hood in mom area with 6" adapter. Entire shed is cooled with 2 ton mini spliut ac, and I use a humidifier during cloning and a 70 pint dehumidifier in mid to late flower. Sorry BlackRoses hope that clears it up for ya. Feel free to ask if I forgot somethin.
Ya know I was just looking at the girls and thinking about what you said, that I should move them out to the edge of the tray. That I cant do cause theyre rooted into the slabs, but Im pretty pissed that I placed them a few inches inside. I should have put them right against the edge for sure and let them grow inward. How stupid! Next time I wont make the same mistake, Ive now crowded them an ruduced yeild at least a little. Ya live and you learn. Good lookin out raider. Always the obvious shit that doesnt seem so obvious. haha.
I want a split AC system bad, they are a pretty penny though. Add it to the list like the spinpro, and co2 I guess. Can't wait to see this flip!
Yea man, I did the same thing when I had the smaller reflectors and I ended up crowding the middle. You might look into light spreaders. I use them and they are in-expensive. They just spread out the footprint. If you are using 3x6 tray, it would have probably been better with the outside plants against the trays and even a screen that is 6" wider than your trays would give you a wider canopy. You will get it dialed in the more rounds you get under your belt and find your sweet spot for every detail. For example I am running 9 plants per 4x4 tray and have learned that I can't really doing any weaving ( just spreading), but when I ran 6 per tray the weaving was a must to get a full even canopy.
I cant recommend them enough mine never has a problem ever. To tell you the truth sometimes I wish it was hotter in the shed sometimes it runs at 80 in there and its set at 90.
Ive already got em brother and it did wonders for taking the intensity out of the plants right in the center which I had problems with the first round. Thanks for the pointer man, but already got that one handled. Oh yeah and I really would love to widen the screen over the edges of the tray but its already hard enough to move in ther with the veg box addition. I think it is what it is. Now its just time to get the in your words "sweet spots" for every aspect of my grow. And also pick the strain I will stick with I really love the pk but that gc is much more aggressive thru veg. Well see what happens in the next 8 weeks. Btw the gc is a 7 week strain. Another selling point for that one.
Thanks dude it is crowded in there. I didnt leave one inch of that shed unused.
