what is the plan for flip or are these autos?
Sorry, I didn't get what you are referring to.Your supersoil plant probably has a much higher brix level, getting closer to maxing out the plant's potential.
The smell is a tell that it's developing more of the terpines and flavonoids than the other plant. Should be more immune to bugs as well.Sorry, I didn't get what you are referring to.
The supersoil plant seems to be developing less rapidly, and has shown a few signs of stress (browning, lime color), but has a more pronounced smell.
What is it from my post that led you to comment that in fact the supersoil plant is closer to maxing out the plant's potential?
aha, yeah, I thought something along those lines when I first noticed. I have read and watched multiple media sources on the topic of "soilless vs supersoil" in terms of final product quality. I am super curious to see the difference.The smell is a tell that it's developing more of the terpines and flavonoids than the other plant. Should be more immune to bugs as well.
Now, one thing I am thinking about right now is pruning. Not sure how to do it (how much to do it).
I was told to remove anything less than the diameter of a pencil. That has seemed like a good guideline so far, and those wispy lil branches really don't produce anything anyway. I'm not big on defoliating, but when I do it, it's usually to allow better air circulation, so I typically target any that are actively pointed towards the middle of the plant .. they can't get much if any light anyway and all they do is clog up the air space.
I had learned it as the time after a female plant became old enough to go into flower under the right length of dark. In meantime, even if the lights were still in a vegetative length, often within about two or three weeks, the plant would be starting to develop just one single stigma/pistil at each new node. The plant would do this even when the lights were still on a 16 or more hours of an "on" schedule. No need to go into a 12/12 light schedule.Pre-flower is that first couple weeks under 12/12 when the plant is transitioning from veg to flower.
I guess you can think of it that way, but that state can persist for months, which is why I went with the assumption that their nute schedule was referring to that first couple weeks when the plant isn't quite fully flowering yet. It has that (pre-flower) listed as a two week period, vs the perpetual "I'm ready when you are" signal of single pistils and alternating nodes.I had learned it as the time after a female plant became old enough to go into flower under the right length of dark.

When my plants started the alternating node growth sure enough many of them would start to show that stigma/pistil. It was more noticeable on the Indica dominant strains than on the Sativa. I have kept plants growing under 18 hours lights on and 6 hours light off for a year or more and they happily are growing that stigma/pistil.
If I took cuttings off of the plant they would not show the stigma/pistil on new growth until there was a decent sized root development.

Regarding the lights, it does seem obvious but I would ask some questions about it personally. If it is getting that hot how much of the 600 watts is being produced as heat?
If the heat is problematic for you (some people need that heat for various reasons), then the 250w is fine.
It's not that the light generates an inordinate amount of heat.
It's just that because it is so powerful, it has a cooling system that uses various fans. The fans blow out warm air. Over time, in a tent like mine, this air raises the temperature a few degrees.
Truth be told, this monster light isn't suited for a tent. It is intended for a commercial grow.
As for the intensity of the lights, I can tell you, they are insane. They burned up some early veg plants being about 1.7m above the plants in my first ever grow attempt.
The fans are also loud, so I would need to set up a dedicated space away from where I usually am at home. This is a project for later in 2025.
The tent is in a small room that is about 4m by 2.5m.That's why people put the dehumidifier outside the tent in what's called a "lung room." By lowering the humidity in the room, your tent environment will enjoy that benefit.
