Harvest time

Just about 1 month from flip with at least a month to go. De humidifier has been working nicely. Tent is staying pretty steady at around 50%RH and 77 at canopy. I've really overgrown the tent which seems to happen every time but the stretch is over and the plants closest to the light don't...

Dehumidifier is doing work and climate is locked in. Low 80s and less than 50% RH. Res temp is 77 at its hottest but it's clean and fresh. The canopy is so lush I've been trying to keep the tops trained and I think the stretch is mostly done. the light cannot be raised anymore so tops that are...

Did a full res change. Full maxibloom dose at 1.2 EC. Still lush.

I topped off the res with another 5 gallons H2O and started some bloom nutes (1.1 EC). The growth has been impressive and I've had to keep training some of the tallest tops. I'm hoping the stretch has just about stopped and I'm starting to see a lot more pistols emerging. The dehumidifier...

2 weeks into 12/12 today. I've had some good growth and the tops have started to reach above the lush canopy. Some leaves have been tucked and a few tops trained but I've mostly allowed them to do their thing. My RH% has not gone below 50% which is too high to make it through flower. I will...

Sounds like a nice setup. 3k is prefect for veg and doesn't need any blue supplement. I run 4 Vero 29 cobs on those heat sinks at 2.1 amps. They get warm but keep my tent at about 84f at canopy which is just fine. You will probably need to keep the lights 10"+ above canopy if your planning on...

Light distance is fine at 12 inches, it could be lower but that helps it throw a wider canopy. I would also try to make the room warmer like 84f lights on.

That's good thinking but the maxi grow is great for veg. I wouldn't hesitate to use it even if you are trying to keep things simple.

That type of light can literally be right on top of the leaves. It might have helped keep the plant smaller but those plants do look like they could use more lights

Gonna stop training for a couple days and let the stretch bring the tops above the canopy. The canopy is very lush. I have about 10" more of light height before I'm maxed out. I will add another 5 gallon res top off to last me a few more days and then do a res change to start a bloom mix at...

Your math is erroneous. Your mixing 50 grams of (0 52 34) and 70 grams of (0 0 50). You created a blend of 50/120*(0 52 34) + 70/120*(0 0 50). Combining them gives you a (0 22 43). Or if I got the ingredients mixed it would be 70/120*(0 52 34) + 50/120*(0 0 50) for a final ratio of (0 30 41)...

10 days from flip. canopy is very thick and lush and sipping about 2 gallons of water a day. still running about 1.0 EC topping off the res with 1tsp of CaMg and 1tsp Maxigrow per gallon. PH is adjusted with about .5 tsp per 5 gallon to balance in the 6.0 range.

Ph adjustments take time to hit equilibrium. if it's rebounding that quickly it's probably due to your waters buffering capacity. the acid is being neutralized by other minerals in the water. it can take huge amounts of ph down to get to a point of equilibrium. you can either try to keep...

A month later how are they looking now?
