I've been at 15-18" from canopy. Just put the Platos in today, the other flowering has been in there for almost 2 weeks.

 

[AllDayToker]

Note to self - Moved Plato plants to flower, day 1 will be tomorrow. Caught up on feeding with all plants. Put clone in soil. Took two more Plato clones. BD x SS still hasn't sprouted, might be a bad seed. Think that's all I need to note.

Welcome to RIU.

$50 for mylar?! Walmart has 84"x63" blankets made from mylar for like $3.50 hahahha

 

[AllDayToker]

I got a bunch of emergency blankets that are reflective but just never wanted to mess with putting it up lol. I figured the silver on the back of my closest door and the white paint would be sufficient enough.

Mylar is 95% reflective. Amazon has a 25ft roll of mylar for $20 right now. Emergency blankets get the job done. The reason I switched was that the wrinkles on the blankets were creating little hot spots. Frustrated me enough to spend the extra twenty bucks.

Yeah that's another reason why I took it down and never put it back up. I'll make sure to add that to my cart maybe I can get it later down the road.

 

[lympford]

true, and i myself went with the cheaper wal mart blanket , we get wat we pay for, and i got 3 bucks worth of reflection but it did work, a 100 ft roll is $50 well worth the trade off in finished product

Happy Labor Day everyone! Hope you all had a good wake and bake, mine has been eh. Don't really have anything good to smoke lol. Anyways not too much going on around here. Might try to get some better and closer shots of the Unkown #1 plant, think it's day 12 flowering for her. I feel like she is going to have a long flower, she seems sativa dom so that would explain it.

 

[AllDayToker]

Well it's Day 1 of flower for my four Platos, so I thought I'd through up a picture of them. Also took some pictures of Unknown #1, pistils are starting to poke out everywhere, she is on Day 12 I believe.

Really nice grow bro!! u know i read somewhere that purpling on the fan leaves is not only due to P deficiency or temperature bouncing but it's a kind of natural pesticide... interesting

Oh the leaves aren't purple, that's just the camera trying to adjust to the HPS light. I'll try to get a better picture in a second. That is interesting information though.

 

[AllDayToker]

Here are some shots in natural light of the Unknown #1 girl, been flowering for 12 days. Also took a couple pictures of the Plato plant that turned male on me. Still a beautiful plant male or female.

 

[AllDayToker]

Thanks for the love guys. Might have to take more pictures under the sunlight, they look so much better, and look like what I'm looking at and not my camera fking shit up. Thing is a straight push for lookin sativa dom, maybe it's indica dome. It just has looked sativa dom in all of her early days to me at least. Could be wrong I am a somewhat beginner.

For my first grow with HPS and all this new soil and nutes and techniques and where I am now. I thank you all but if you others take offensive I'm sorry, but Beech has been such a HUGE help with me and I would probably be a year or two behind where I am now without him. He is truly a great man and I don't know how I'll ever repay this man, but I hope I can figure some way I can. I always new I was a greenthumb at heart but Beech really pulled it out of me. You're the best Beech, nothing else to say I can't even imagine where I will be in 10-15 years from now because of you Beech.
