Hi all. I think the last time I gave a garden update I was just beginning my first attempt at pruning, and had just built my first scrog screen.
I think I over did the pruning on one or two plants, and they're still not growing as robustly as before the lollipoping, but whateves. Overall, the ladies have responded with denser growth in the upper branches.
Tent #1
Tent #2
Tent 1 is all Blue Dream, which has been in veg about six weeks. Tent 2 is Sour Diesel, and has been vegging about seven weeks. I'm kicking to flower now because, Tent 2 is getting pretty-pretty-pretty tall, and I'm excited to play with my new geeky cool 660nm LED arrays!
I kind of decided to go all in after Spliff's day 45(?) post, where he did the quick pan back-and-forth between buds on control-side and buds on pontoon-side. I had kind of decided I had invested enough for a first grow. What do I know, I'm just n00bin here, but I think that video shows ~20% more density in the bud formation. I was probably really just looking for an excuse to buy a cool toy , but I threw down for the pfr techno-magic.
Also, right after I did the more intense ~30% of biomass pruning, I ran a 24 hour light cycle for four or five days, then fell back to 18/6 for the last week+ of veg. After installing the pontoons, I've decided to do another 24 hour light cycle with the 660nm LEDs for a couple days, before cutting over to 12/12. Does that just sound pointless? I'm just making s#*T up.
