Those lights are kick ass Iā€™ve seen so much more growth. They stay so cool an work so well that Iā€™ll probably order a couple more when I can.

Can I do that? Put them outside after changing the light schedule?

Well thatā€™s good itā€™s helping. :+1:

I notice that they are isolates, he should try a full spectrum version as a comparison. Some folks get more benefits from full. Results seem to vary person to person.

YESSSS! omg yesss! you donā€™t know how happy that makes me.

your plants are looking very good heather. howā€™s it feel right now? must be pretty good seeing the positive growth.

with your tent plants, it looks like one or two are more yellow-green than the others. are you thinking of adjusting feed for those plants any, or just let it ride? which ones are those by the way (the more lighter green ones)?

Itā€™s so amazing seeing them take off. I definitely was worried for a while I wonā€™t lie lol. Youā€™ve been a great hypeman @highminwin! :grin:

Iā€™m reading mixed information on the light green leaves. Anywhere from the lights, fert issues, roots, overwater, new growth. Iā€™m hoping itā€™s the latter. I have seen some explosive growth since adding the new lights. Whatā€™s your thoughts?

itā€™s an amazing community around here that can really help growers dial in their setup and techniques. tapping into overgrow doesnā€™t guarantee 100% success, but itā€™s sure better than starting a grow out on your own, or god forbid with only reddit as your guide.

with the green leaves (and again, iā€™m a new grower so take my thoughts with a few grains of sea-90), i would mainly be keeping an eye on the two plants where most of the leaves are lighter green. the other plants have a nice healthy dark green color (maybe almost too dark? iā€™m not totally sure) with only the newer growth showing the lighter green which is normal. but the far left middle and the one on the right next to your venus flytrap (is that for trapping flying bugs?) have more consistently lighter green coloring. it could just be those plants have different nutritional requirements. which plants are those by the way?

the plant i have in my earthbox junior was showing very light green leaves throughout the whole plant for awhile. i was feeding and watering it differently than most of my other plants. but i added more kelp or alfalfa to boost the nitrogen and after a few weeks that plantā€™s coloration became more dark green.

i donā€™t think itā€™s a serious problem at all. just something to keep an eye on, and perhaps give those plants a nitrogen boost from what you have available.

iā€™m curious how tall your plants are right now and how big some of those fan leaves are? photos are hard to judge scale with.

but yea, itā€™s looking awesome in that tent right now! iā€™m super excited for your next few weeks when youā€™ll be flipping to flower. sorry iā€™m outta likes, otherwise iā€™d be showering them round here. :heart: :heart_eyes: :heart:

Anyone know if this is the ā€œrealā€ reeferman? Iā€™ve read there was an imposter on the internet & that reeferman had retiredā€¦ but looking at the related seed site ā€¦ which looks kinda sketchy to meā€¦ it DOES list a detailed description of his Cherry Bomb Indica, itā€™s super close to the Barneyā€™s farm Red Cherry Berry(Barneyā€™s crossed it to :skunk: #1) that Iā€™m at F3 with. :partying_face:

The two light green plants are both ssdd. Is that characteristic of the strain? Iā€™ve watered in a little extra nitrogen an bone meal the past two times. The fly trap is decorative lol figured itā€™d like the bright lights. Itā€™s only caught two gnats, sucks at its job :laughing:

They are still pretty short an bushy. My tallest is just shy of 12"

Some of my biggest fan leaves are as big as my hand, mostly towards the bottom of the plants

awww yea, looking beautiful heather! those two plants are looking much more normal colored now. i havenā€™t grown any ssdd out myself, although iā€™ve got some seeds. perhaps others can chime in with their experience, because i know people have been growing that ssdd.

did you flip to flower yet? i think youā€™re mostly on easy street now, unless something unexpected happens. great job!

I was planning on flipping them today but I was hit with a burst of energy an decided to up pot. Iā€™ve only currently got six bags, gunna pick the most healthy to move up. Thought Iā€™d give those six a couple days to recover

Repot was kinda a success. The three plants I had in the Folgers containers definitely suffered some root ripping due to the the shape of it. Canā€™t say I would recommend those for use with soil. Hopefully they will recover :pray:

They definitely arenā€™t happy with me right now.

How long should I wait before flipping the switch? A week? No waiting?

Is there anything special I should do beyond setting the timer to 12/12

live and learn, heather! we all have those small little things that weā€™ll figure out as we continue on our grow journey. one thing for me is iā€™m gonna try to be mindful about the depth/height that i up-pot my plants to.

with my first grow, i was so nervous and wasnā€™t thinking about things when transplanting, so some of my plants were a little too low to the soil when i had them in their final containers. this caused an issue where their lower branches had to be buried when i added my amendments for their flower phase (earth worm compost and other top dressings to juice them up for their transition into flower).

so the folgers containers being not great to transplant out of is good information to note and hopefully future growers will run across this and be forewarned. were they metal containers or something and thatā€™s why? or just the shape of them that caused the issue?

obviously iā€™m still a new grower and so i donā€™t have years of experience to call upon, but for me i slowly transitioned them to their 12/12 flower cycle. of course, i have a whole controller/phone app that makes it easy for me to adjust the timing. so when i figured i wanted to flip them, each day i would adjust the hours that the lights come on, and again, because it was through an app on my phone that made it very easy for me to do. iā€™m not sure how youā€™re having to do it yourself. are you just manually turning them on/off yourself? if so, i suppose it makes sense to give them a day or three to recover from the transplant and then flip them.

i donā€™t think thereā€™s anything you need to do beyond adjusting their lighting schedule. do you have any bloom specific nutes from the ilgm batch that you picked up? maybe switch to feeding with those when you flip to flower.
