Casey Jones #3

[b.real]

hi mono and today I topped both casey jones plants and they're both girls. I told you we're going to be doing some training this round

 

[b.real]

3 weeks old.

 

[Mono]

Looking good, B!

How early are you planning some training?

 

[Dennise]

Good morning b....

 

[b.real]

thanks mono and good morning to you too D. I'm going to give them a week then probably tie down the two main tops on each plant.

Hi B, very interested to see how photos grow on straight 12/12

 

[b.real]

hi SAN and welcome. you're just in time for an update. they're 4 weeks old, 1 week in flower and I'm thinking about tying the main tops down. what do you guys think?

 

[Dr Bob]

Love it b! Tie em down would be my vote. Looks great!
Bob

 

[Colesdad]

Yeah, definitely tie them now. I would hate for you to have to trim the tops late in flower like last time.

 

[StillANoob]

+1 vote to tie them down, they are looking very healthy and won't mind the LST

 

[b.real]

the problem is I don't know which ones to train. top 2 tops or top 4 tops?

lots of tops that's a good problem to have lol

 

[StillANoob]

Try to bend the top 4 down and away from the middle until they are all at the same height, this way you keep an even canopy and the middle of the plant is exposed for better air and stimulating new growth

 

[Dr Bob]

What the Noob said! That would be my vote.

I trained both of them but I felt like I put the short pheno through too much turmoil trying to get her tied so I let her free. so the tall one is topped and trained and the short one is just topped. I also backed the plants away from the fixture a bit because it's pretty hot up there.

Checking this one out if you don't mind b.

 

[b.real]

glad to have you here N4X4G. I just purchased a light meter and I'm going to take some measurements tonight

 

[Dennise]

WE need pics.. WE need pic.... WE need pics... Please....

 

[b.real]

here you go D. we finally know how much light my sun system 150 watt hps fixture is putting out I don't know why I waited so long to get a light meter. what happened was I got a $15 one and it didn't work right for high light situations but now I spent a little more and got a decent one. all measurements were taken directly under the the center of the reflector.

6" about 60,000 lux or 750 par

12" about 30,000 lux or 375 par

18" about 14,000 lux or 175 par

 

[Noob4x4grow]

Nice pickup b. So what distance do you keep your lights at?
