so, i guess a little explanation of my absence is called for. i just went through a series of medical issues that pretty much deprived me of sleep for about 4 weeks. i turned into a zombie and was physically unable to do all the little things that had to be done on time to flower at 4 weeks of veg. they were flowered at 40 days and, of course, had overgrown the space.
today is 21 days of flower and about the end of the stretch. i have multi-topped and thinned heavily. i still have to do some larf removal.
i just now switched out the 5000k bulbs for the 2700k plus the incandescents. i had planned to do it at 2 weeks of flower instead of 3.
so all of the growth in these pics occurred with 5000k bulbs.
there are 66 2700k and 6 25-watt incandescents for a total of 1074 watts in each fixture. the incandescents are roughly centered over each plant.
it’s been 8 weeks and 5 days since i started this grow and no solution has been removed from the reservoirs. all input only.
i have both lights hard-tied to the top of the frame and do not have any more headspace but i should be good.
under the square fixture, i’m getting pretty uniform par readings between 1150-1250 umols.
and, under the octagonal one, it’s between about 1200-1300 umols.
it’s a good thing i’m using the 8-16 photoperiod as 8 hours of 1200 umols is 34.56 moles per period.
i’ve got a little tip burn as i let the feed reservoir run dry a couple of times and the ec crept up to about 2.6 for a day or two.
i will try to update on some kind of schedule from now on.
i’m getting some fairly powerful stem rubs now and some slight differences in smell.
i’v got full sets of clones of 8 of the 12.
