3rd Grow: Amare Tech 450W LED & UVB, 4x4 Tent

[ConstantGreen]

Thanks rhetorrikz!

Perfect timing Noob! Here's how the ladies are looking, about 2 weeks into flowering:

I pruned a ton of leaves on Monday, they became looking like skeletons. I used Jaymu's tip to take all the red-stemmed leaves, which made the whole thing easier and more enjoyable to have a simplified target. It really seems like a natural signal, the red-stemmed leaves were almost always shading younger growth. By the time I finished I was a little horrified how much I had taken off lol, but they look healthy and more balanced now a few days later. I'm glad I went for it.

Going to keep vegging and pruning for another week and then flip and lollipop any lower growth after the stretch. Temps are 85 F during the day, 75 at night. Humidity 50%, light 25" above.

The sexbud are starting to veg some again, albeit slowly. I changed the light hours back to 18/6. Fed them all 2ml/L CaMg but otherwise the Ocean Forest seems to be feeding them well through veg.

I'm planning my first vegetable garden this spring, too. Growing is the best!

Hey versai hows things going ? are u still vegging for 2 more weeks or have you been flowering 2 weeks ? I did a clean up / lollypop of low limbs on my outside plants the other day i could of done them a bit sooner i think but ive been having a bit of a rollercoaster ride ..

 

[ConstantGreen]

Sorry I missed some of these replies. Looking good over there Jaymu!

Yea, let us know if you need help welshpony. We can tell you the colors, but I think the red stems have mostly given me the confidence to take more leaves. I think I'm starting to understand how the plants think by watching their strategy for regrowth. Experience is the best teacher!

And thanks for asking rhetorrikz! Things are looking very good!

As much as I wish to be flowering already, I'll be vegging them for another 4-5 days. I think this light has further flower power than traditional LED so I'm letting them get a bit taller than I normally would. I've already noticed some shoots that almost certainly won't reach up to the rest of the canopy so I'm thinking about taking them off now. But I'll do the main lollipopping after their stretch.

These two clones have been growing on the perimeter, yet are clearly stronger than the others in veg. They both come from the bottom-left whorling BBW of my last grow. I'll clone from these two for a homogeneous, strong SoG next run.

Have a good weekend!

Yea man it's pretty impressive how much they fight back and bush out on their own without any training if you prune them enough lol.

 

[Noob4x4grow]

Hey Versai! Your plants are looking awesome. Are you still using the iguana juice? Do you use the veg and bloom?

 

[ConstantGreen]

Thanks man! Yep, I start using the veg then bloom after giving them about 3 weeks to finish the nutes in the fox farm soil.

 

[rhetorrikz]

Its cool to see.. i dont really have experience with training in veg usually there in the cab waiting for the flowering girls to finish , then a quick switch and lst as they stretch to keep height under control. . Not much longer tho plans in the works

I love the simplicity of your grow. I'm going to be using a very similar method. I hope my plants turn out as dank as your first two grows.
