I moved the Waterfarms into the tent on Christmas Eve. For Babylicious, that was about 6 weeks under Flouros, 6500k T-8's and then 3 weeks in tent under MH 600 watter. I think that the plant is going to just explode when it goes into flowering. When I do flip the lights, it will be exactly 2 months from when Babylicious was germinated from seed. I just started a new seed last night to begin the slow process of getting grown up and ready for the tent. It is a Reserva Privada Kandy Kush.
You got an airstone in your reservoir? What temp is your res running?
For sure. The stretch you get the first couple weeks of 12/12 will fill that screen up nicely.
The strain's photoperiod for flowering is medium, about 8-9 weeks. I have had it take 10 weeks before. This time, at the end of week eight, I'll cut lights down to 10 hours a day if needed to prevent the buds from generating new growth. They have a tendancy to do that while they should be filling with resin.
I absolutely agree with you there. I think filling the screen won't be a problem. I am trying to keep most of the growth where it is easy to reach, but i think a lot of the spaces are going to end up with colas. Every node on these things is responding. I'm going to have to start upping the ppms soon from 1150 to 1400.For sure. The stretch you get the first couple weeks of 12/12 will fill that screen up nicely.
Oh wow, those are some heavy eaters man. 1400 ppm is beefy. And hey,if there are those spots you can't reach it's just more space for bud. If worst comes to worst, I'm sure you have a pair of scissors handy
I always hear about people switching to 10hrs towards the end. Have you even done any side by side testing, does it effect the yield at all?
You know I do....Oh wow, those are some heavy eaters man. 1400 ppm is beefy. And hey,if there are those spots you can't reach it's just more space for bud. If worst comes to worst, I'm sure you have a pair of scissors handy
Lowering the light to 10 hours a day speeds up bud ripening, so it does decrease yield a bit. Some strains will keep generating new bud material and take forever to ripen at 12 hours. For those, I recommend that the grower cut the lights to just 10 hours a day to signal the plant that the end is coming. This will get the stigma to start drying out, changing color and the bud to ripen as opposed to growing.
i must first say REP!!! You've answered a question i've been wondering for about 3 years now. A friend of mine gets beautiful, rock hard, crystally buds with no flavor or smell.
I dont think their are strains that make you more paranoid, its up too the individual to not be paranoid in fact I cant remember the last time I was paranoid.
I think that he doesn't appreciate heavy body buzz traits because it makes him feel paranoid. It is something he doesn't like. It makes him human.
We are all different... I haven't been paranoid in a long time either, but I attribute that to smoking in my own home now, rather than someone else's.
There are absolutely strains that make you more paranoid. IMO. matter of fact some breeders will actually advertise their strains as having a slight paranoid effect.
Always a pleasure to have you in my thread good sir! You do realize don't you that you alone are reasponsible for about 5 or 6 new waterfarm grow threads?Hey Serapis droping in to see what you have been up to Looking good
You really should consider it. I was worried that the learning curve was going to be steep. I couldn't have been more wrong. You can also read the journal I link at this begining of this one, from ScottyBallz. He grew 16 ounces off a single plant using this same method. He was my inspiration.
