My friend is growing Caramelicious plants he bought off AMS. Im curious as to what kind of yield can he hope for long term and when should we start Flowering? As of right now its day 16 and he's using a ViparSpectra 900w Reflector series with Fox Farm Soil and been mixing his water with Flora series 5-5-2.5 ratio this week. Ive attached a photo of where they are at right now. Also using Hydroguard.
Well its not the 900watt label you go by but the actual power draw. To determine a good performance light wise. That's a 418 watt light. So when its all said and done you weigh out the cured bud and then divide the gram weight against the 418 watts to see how many grams per watt you get. That's speaking in terms of efficiency and more less just judging the light. Id say maybe see if you can find others online posting grams per watt for that particular lamp to have an idea how you did. But quality is most important so the gardening aspects mean the most week by week. Watch the runoff ph closely. 6.5 should always be the target. I like to start a flowering 12/12 start of week 5. Your strain is a hybrid so it will take about 10 or 11 weeks flowering to be perfect. Buy a Carson Microbrite for 12 bucks on amazon and start a two week flush when the trichs are 75% cloudy then chop it & hang it upside down for 7 days, no fan. then put it in a large mason jar trimmed up. Open it twice a day and roll the jar. Do that for 30 days then add a 62% boveda pack. Your smoking at that point. Don't use any scent changers in the grow room ever. Keep air circulaton going well and between 60-80 degrees. Don't use tap water.
