Bridgelux EB gen 2 480W grow

So a flood soaked a Tupperware full of "oops my plant got pollinated by someone else" seeds and so the race was on to do something with them. I sprouted them all and immediately started tossing out rejects or anything that struggled in any way. Got rid of anything that didn't show clear female pre flowers only, and now I'm down to the final few and they look decent. I messed up the mainlining so it was slower than it should have been.Their seedling light was eclectic, but their veg for a month and a half has been under EB gen 2 strips and they're 3 days into flower after having been mainlined into 8 mains and allowed to grow 4 nodes per main or 6" after the last topping. They were planted about 2 months ago. Please leave comments.
Soil has been a cheap mix of what I had available to me from my garden, until a week before flower. Now it's half worm compost 0.5 0.5 0.5 npk and some natural garden soil that has been amended with bone meal and added better drainage. Gave it some aluminum sulfate in water because it was getting slightly alkaline after I added the new soil mix.

One has barely burnt tips that seem to be elongating, maybe nitrogen burn. Another has the edges pointing up no matter what I do so fuck that arsehole of a plant he can take what the others get and like it.

I will water with molasses here n there to give the soil microorganisms a boost.

They're in roughly 8-9 gallon pots made of landscaping cloth. Not sure how much to growth and yield to expect from them, so I don't know if I should try moving them to more soil once they don't hold moisture for long or if these pots will be fine. I'm holding some bloom boost in reserve to see if they can produce some nice buds on their own.

Those pots are plenty big enough.

I vegged in 2gallon pots, transplanted into final 5 gallon pots just before flipping to flower, end result was 14.5 ozs from 4 plants in a 4x4 tent

You have good lighting and a good attitude, your gonna crush it.

Do your thang bro

you'd make a good buddy lol, thanks for the encouragement

Nice looking plants.

Went into 12/12 on May 12th. SO today's pics are 12 days into flower.

This photo is actually from a few days earlier than those bud photos

So I found this handsy fucker feelin up my ladies today. Was not impressed. Some new leaves have holes.



The fan died for a day or two and temps were a bit high, so I'm thinking that's how they got a foothold. Also, I'm growing in a shed that isn't far separated from outdoors.

I had also seen red ants which left my plants alone. THEN, the rat bastards are on the plant that had aphids. Giving them assistance, from what I read on the internet.

So it was game on and I gave my affected plant a good foliar hosing, dropped the room temp to 20 and left the affected plant in an area that gets more constant fanning. Also, I put a trail of Clorox around the areas ants were coming in. Hopefully this Clorox for ants remedy will work, coolant didn't.

Thoughts? Remedy suggestions?

Seems my aphid remedies were effective. Nothing has been back since.

Went into flower may 12th, so these are about 3 and a half weeks under a 240w panel. I might have gone overboard on the trimming. Didn't take into account that I'd need to stretch them out wider. Hence the empty middles.

Nice job bud. Plants are looking good.

Best of luck the rest of the way

Tomorrow is the first day of week 4. The pistils are starting to show some darkening of the tips and beginning to fatten.

One of my plants has very white pistils, the rest have a pale yellow or green hue. Genetics? I have some concerns about my nitrogen levels going into flower since I used a 0.5 0.5 0.5 organic worm casting soil to pot them up for flower and they're showing some slight tip burn.

My pineapple express reacted similar, even under very low feedings, solid ph and low ec on runoff water. I chalked it up to a light feeder and genetics.

That'd make sense This is normally an outdoor strain that is quite hardy
