I am pleased to welcome you to my next shop of horrors with quite a common strain (white widow x big bud) but I am more scared of this than the jack herer
I am scared of my crop v1 (jack herer)
As this is the V2 I will not be posting pics all the way from young just how they are now explaining what i am doing differently from the last time and if you have any questions not covered I will reply to them
Photos first for those who skip to the pictures
Day 14 of flower
Tent 1 2.4 x 1.2
Tent 2 1.2 x 1.2
1. All small oscillating fans removed,
Replaced with tower fans to free up more space for plants and provide a more spread breeze some were loud so I took it apart and removed the plastics that were catching and now stealth is back ^.
Hung upside down inside the tent standing oscillation fans with their stand removed,
Bigger more powerful and quieter than the oscillating fans which stand on the floor.
This has upped airflow and freed up pretty much the whole of the 1.2m
2. Changed lights from a mix to entirely large LEDS with a 500w true wattage output,
I noticed how those plants under the HPS in the middle were behind those at the side under the LEDs
3. Moved carbon filter from the outside to the inside of the tent,
This happened as once I turned on both switches for the 1.2 x 2.4s 3 LEDS the 1500 true wattage was raising the temperature up to 29.
Thanks to the tower fans I dont have fans hanging everywhere I could then fit the filter inside of the tent with the air pulling through instead of pushing out putting the pre filter to work.
Air was coming out of the filter very slowly but now the duct has an extremely strong breeze even with the fan turned down still no smell and temperatures and now at a steady 26 so no need to include my air con.
4. Switched from canna to advanced nutrients coco PH perfect,
Early on after the first few tops my plants were not as healthy as they could have been due to me messing up the PH it annoyed me and I would forget I've messed it up then feed with that solution the next day so I dived into PH perfect.
People put it down saying it doesnt change the water to the perfect PH which also worried me after splashing out on these nutes and I had already thrown away my PH down but I tried it anyway and recieved amazing results.
After i found out it's expensive because the nutrients are chelated so the plant gets everything it needs no matter what the PH of the water I have since not had one deficiency, no problems whatsoever and plants are thicker, greener and healthier than any I have grown using canna.
Currently using sensi coco bloom a+b, rhino skin, big bud and bud candy
I was using only sensi grow a+b and voodoo juice with a drop of cal mag
I since have not checked PPM or PH once I think all growers should simplify their routine like this, no one likes having acid around! And everyone makes stoned mistakes when it comes to something as precise as phing water which you've left to sit for 3 days!
5. Added a 1.2 x 1.2 tent to my original 2.4 x 1.2,
Plants outbushed eachother during first week of flower they have stopped stretching at about 1.2m tall I now have 8 in the 2.4 and 4 in the 1.2 my plan was to have 12 in the 2.4 but PH perfects nutes and these LEDs performance took me by suprise.
I tried using my inkbird with a tubular heater to raise the temps as night, I found no benefit to this and i feel they actually perform better when i allow the temperature to drop during lights off so i have removed the heater to save electric and now i only use the inkbird to know what the temperature is for me to adjust the fan speed if need be.
I hope what I have discussed here may be of use to someone

I am scared of my crop
Seriously, this thing is either going to out grow me, roll up and smoke me like scary movie or eat me like little shop of horrors I am growing seedsman jack herer with a couple of free cheese seeds in there and they're 4 ft tall without becoming flimsy They were vegged for about 6 weeks and...
