I kicked them to 12/12 and untied them, going to trim up the bottoms and wire down the stretch as it unfolds. I have a good 12 inches of space between the light and the tops. I guess we will see what happens.
trimmed out a tonne of shit, these plants are insanely dense man. (If you want to run a clone farm this is 100% the light you want, unbelievable undergrowth!) Wired down a couple of the main branches, I guess we will see what the stretch brings. Personally I think it will be manageable, just a pain in the ass until the stretch stops. I'm ready, bring it on
One week into flower, noticing a little magnesium deficiency happening, watered today with CalMag in the mix at double the recommended dosage. It seems that the LED requires a shit load of CalMag?
Day nine of flower, lots of flower sites and pistal development happening (even into the lower canopy). Noticing a bit of pigment dissipation in some of the fan leaves, too much light so I'm guessing that the optimal distance is somewhere around 15 inches to 18 inches. Next crop I will gauge the stretch and plan accordingly to finish off at 24 inches. Live and learn, the name of the game. Anyways, I fed them a good dose of nutes today, looks like I'm on an every other day watering schedule.
Would going to a 10/14 schedule help here? Get them to finish a bit faster, or maybe not as massive? I'm sorta in the same fix myself with height so I'm with ya new2led. Something tells me you may be doing a bit of tying down here. I've got the space but not the lights for the amount of plants I'm flowering. Thank God for CREE bulbs . Best Wishes!
Today marks two weeks of flowering under the G2-800w LED. I managed to gain a couple (and I mean exactly 2) inches in fixture height by screwing the brass light mounts into the floor joists, This should help with the light burn issue (which isn't all that bad really). I fed them today, I have been upping the nutes every feeding and I am currently at about 125% of what I would be at if I were feeding these plants under 1000w HPS. I am running CalMag+ at double the suggested dosage which seems to have taken care of the CalMag deficiency issue, as crazy as that dosage sounds its working.
Subbed! First time poster and really looking forward to how this grow turns out for you New2led! Great job so far! Best of grow luck! I will be watching.
Looking good New2led. I have it's predecessors, the mag plus and plus2. Can you get me a light measurement. I would like to know how much lateral light you get @ 20". On mine it's 8".
