give them more light and see what they do.

Well I grow sativas, and they regularly take 16+ weeks. Not abnormal at all, in fact that’s the norm.

Are these auto flower? No info so hard to understand what’s going on. Not close to harvest, and there’s nothing to harvest anyways. They look healthy, I’d say they have about 10 weeks and they’ll be ready.

I doubt it’s lighting too strong. I have the HLG 650 R, and yes they recommend 40” up at veg and that works, but it’s not too strong, they should have tight nodes and be happy as far as lighting goes.

Good to know about the Blumat issues. I use about 2 cc of H2O2 (3%) per gallon to keep the slime and algae from growing. I had an issue as well at first but with the hydrogen peroxide no problem, the res stays clean and slime free.

You might want to look into the Blumat emitters as well. I don’t have experience with them but have heard good things and plan to check them out in the near future.

I would also get some 5 gallon paint strainer bags if going this route to put in your planter/bucket as well as put your pump in. It will keep the coco and perlite from clogging things up.

I got them on Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007WOSQI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I grow in coco/perlite and have automated watering. I have a timer that comes on 4 times a day for 15 min. I use a recirculating system with Dutch buckets, they drain into a 27 gallon reservoir. I have a small pump that goes to a circular ring of 1/2“ tubing, and 1/4” tubes off of that to drip...

Here’s A pic of my current grow under a #ViparSpectra P2500, a couple P 1000’s, and some extra 10w bars for picking up edges and side lighting. The P2500 is on a moving rail, works great. The grow area in the room is 3’ x 9’. The plants are sour Deisel and Durban

I think you got it, good luck!

I believe he’s watching Canuck on YouTube. Most here don’t believe in his methods cause they suck. Water and feed your plants till harvest, and no dark time needed.

add me too, I use a couple of your lights and love them!

The plants look good, maybe a bit of tip burn on the leaves but not bad at all. I if we’re to do anything it would be to back off or quit the Epsom salts. House and garden lists they have a lot of magnesium already, and you added calmag on top so probably no need for more.

I believe there is a difference between the two. Growing up in SoCal in the 70s we mostly got our hands on sativa, we’d be riding bikes or surfboards, hiking, etc. When indica buds came around we’d chill by the fire, listen to the doors and Led Zeppelin (not that we didn’t listen to them other...
