So, Saturday update:
I’m at these kind of boring stage of a grow. The Northern Lights has one more week to go. She’s pretty much 100% cloudy everywhere I looked, but no amber. I briefly considered taking her down today, since I really need the room, but decided to not sacrifice quality for convienience. I grow NL for sleep meds, so amber is better for me.
As for the rest, three Auto Duck(less), two CBD Crack, and a White Widow, they are still chugging along.
The Ducks and one of the CBD Cracks are growing like weeds. Four plants are right at 18 inches.
One of the CBD Crack plants is lagging at about 13 inches. That’s the one I put on a bumper seat earlier this week, and moved into the center under the light to get the best PAR. She’s grown a couple inches since then, so my plan is working. Lol
My White Widow is still very small, only about five inches. I just topped her this week, we’ll see what she can do before her time clock runs out. I doubt I’ll get even an ounce from her.
My pot with the single “ruderalis” was doing great, until this morning when I snapped the stem right above the first node. Whoops! I haven’t decided if I’m going to cull the plant or let it try to recover. I will probably cull, since I have a bucket of hemp and don’t really need or have space for this one.
I’m considering making adjustments to the screen today. I like it, but I don’t like it. I think it would probably work better if I were using it on a single plant, but right now when I bend my tips over under the screen, I’m also blocking light from another plant. I may just let them grow up and see what happens. I can raise my lights about six to eight inches more before I max out.
I’m also thinking the screen, when I use it, will be on adjustable ratcheted hangers, like the lights. That way I can just raise it up to do my maintenance and then lower back down and adjust limbs.
