Wow only 4 days of flower and the plants are growing really fast.
For some reason my light app is warning me that 775 PAR is high which is interesting because the limit for my space is 800. But the DLI (Daily Light Integral) is good so I guess I won't worry about it.

They're really moving right along! And if the plants ain't stressin' then no need messin'.

I did my first rez change today. The plants are doing great, in fact better than they ever have.
The only thing that I am doing different is using plain chlorinated tap water instead of filtered water.
In fact, I haven't even bothered with checking the PH.
It seems that I'm in for a good stress free run this time around.

Looks like a good way to ring in the new year!

Coming up on week 3 of flower. They are drinking about a gallon of water per day. Average PAR is 993
but hitting over 1200 at tips of canopy. Started adding Terpinator @ 1 oz.

EC: 2.10 (VEG+Bloom)

The light intensity was too high. The plants are showing signs of burning. Raised lights about 5 inches and reduced output to about 1090 PAR. Did some light pruning to get rid of a bit of larf developing underneath.
I tried taking 1 photo every day to see if I can measure the flower progress. The following is over 5 days.

He used to be a bit more loquacious, but those cola shots do tell the story.

Average PAR: 1131 (HIGH) μmols/M²/sec @ 12/12
DLI: 48.9 (HIGH)
Humidity: 38%
Temperature: 78.9F
EC: 2.28 (MaxiBloom)


I didn't realize that my PAR levels were this high at 1131 because I haven't been checking. This has been going on for 2 weeks now so I'm going to just leave it where it is. we are just into week six and it is hard to believe that I still have almost five weeks left. I have been giving the plants different things every week instead of just the same nutrient solution. This week I am giving the plants MaxiBloom, Sea Weed, Terpinator and CalMag.
I also haven't really bothered with PH because the plants haven't shown any signs of distress.
In fact, they are the most well behaved plants that I have grown to date.
Night time temps drop into the high 60's so there is a little bit of purple that is always welcome.
I have been having some issues with my AC Infinity fans developing loud tapping sounds when oscillating which I will discuss after the break.
