How can I keep them as long as possible? Some people grow 10” beards before planting. But 6 weeks is enough to out grow. Idk.

And there she goes. On a power strip so I can have this go off with out another pump to minimize failure.

Though one said they never heard it happen before. These timers are sophisticated, could easily bump it and change a setting. May of never failed that person but who knows.

I had a 400gph pump at first not pump out enough for these two. Back to thee ol orbit problems. Maybe they just arent atrong enough for an orbit but these vivosun 800gph are.

So “get a stronger pump” to fix the issue worked yet again. The 400gph runs the floraflex 8port manifold for the 4 one liter pots setup just barely ok. The power of floraflex!

Just dialing waterings in checking how it feeds. Just increased a bit for more runoff. I overfilled the pots because the roots are pushing the cap up a bit and the pot is almost overflowing from the rootbound.

I got clones for harvest to flip in 6 weeks then I have the next clones already potted now. To flip 9 weeks after I chop these in 6 weeks. THEN I need clones finally.

Will this problem get worse with the older clones? I know Il be pruning them several times before being flipped.

Should I toss the clones and start over? I underestimated how this would play out. I just didnt have a solid clone method to count on but I think I do now.

Should of been using my phone app for lux/ppfd. Things were wacky partly being new to the strain learning to scrog it better next time but tops getting 2000ppfd.

Was cool to dim or raise light in each tent knowing what the areas are getting ppfd wise. Pretty cool but should get an apogee thing as im relying on conversions.

Its all dialed in, looking at ppfd chart isnt as accurate I guess. Mars light at 22-25” instead of 18 and the others struggling with height so its not at a good dispersing height.

Its like 7” from light but theyre weaker which helps me this round theyre not dimmed. Fecida. Cool to the touch 65w. Shoot this 2x4x5 tent is tough.

Just need to scrog better and soon get a better light. 10-15k lux around the edges. I really like the mars hydro, solid 600-900ppfd all around canopy. Bigger tent, easier to dial in.

Ugh cant find anything online at first glance. The other clones are more saucy more everything than the 2x4 clones with 65w.

10-15k lux around the edges and the carbon filter blocks light to 2k lux but have it to the side for minimal impact.

More earthy smell than the spicy watermelon kush the happy clones are producing. I think Il get two 130w ufos since the other clone is doing great under.

Any suggestions how the carbon filter can not be in the way but stay in the tent as they all exaust outside? Might get side lighting and use one beam for the carbon filter area.

I feel like the 2x4 clones growing subpar. Ugh why did I get 5’ tall tent.

Damn every other time I look at it Im soso about it. First its not good then its fine. I just hear people say 30-35w per square foot minimal and this is far against that.

I need something thatll keep 25k lux around the edges or 600ppfd. This light doesnt disperse the best.

My other clone in 2x2 130w its dimmed almost half its out grew I shoulda weaved n tucked just a few more times. Its poppin! Super saucy can see buds more developed.

My mars hydro clones are just behind this a but negligable but the 2x4 making me want to upgrade light asap.

I want a good 8 oz from that tent of saucy buds this has me wanting to separate the rosin. Might be slightly less good. Anyone chime in please.
