80% Perlite and 20% soil in this 110 litre grow bag is giving me near DWC growth rates easy I feel but she drinks 20 litres a day, I like it watering watching her leaves do the lift straight after, she loves it

Not sure If I've mentioned this on riu but I did on 420, my light schedule.


So I have her surrounded by 4 x 600w hps vert bulbs and overhead I have a 400w and a 600 w hps in hoods at angles so they are even distance to both the top flowers and the lower flower's.

Now at the start of 12/12 , 2 vert bulbs come on, then they are replaced by the overhead bulbs then the overhead bulbs are replaced by the other sides 2 vert bulbs, like the sun I have the light so it rise's goes over the plant then goes down on the other side, and this next part will make you laugh, at lights on I have an alarm set that is the sound of a rooster cockadoodle-dooing hahaha I don't know if it helps it my alarm though so I set it to a "natural " sound

So I flipped her to 12/12 on December 21 .

It took about a week for flowering to start and she streched perfectly to my exact hypothasized size.

Here she is 13 days after the 12/12 switch ,1 week since pistals, and her stretch is done! .

All going to plan so far, she's been a good girl and the temp is right so she gets a light bath and the good old molasses and a big kiss

IMG_20160103_025345.jpg Just short of the top of the tent, and perfect distance from all 6 bulbs the perfect stretch.
Notice the overhead 400 and 600hps are hung at angles so the distance to the treetop canopy is consistent and the light penetrates deeper this way.

Beautiful... looking forward to see what your harvest numbers come out to
Looking at 3 lb, which will be around 1 gpw , because although she is surrounded by 6 x 600 only 2 have been on at any time except for hour long light baths, I should do some fancy calculations there eg 1 hr per day = 7 hrs p week x 8 or 9 weeks = blah blah blah ha hahaha ha
