Will the tight stacking of nodes be an issue later on? @MrSauga

 

[Dragoond2]

@r0am1ng st0ner Thanks man they are my best ones yet. I may swing by your as well see how thing are over there.

 

[MrSauga]

Not likely, since the plant will stretch. I know some say they like to see more spacing, and I think if anything it has to do with light penetration and air movement. I've read many posts saying there is no problem and in fact may make harder denser buds, but I have nothing to back that up personally.
I was mentioning because you posted earlier about raising and lowering lights to control your temps, so if you had room I was going to suggest moving the lights up. But I didn't know how high they were.
At 21" it's pretty low for the 600W LED. You're most likely want it around 24-30" and then lower during flower after the stretch.

 

[Dragoond2]

@MrSauga ya 24" may be my limit on how high I can go with the lights. So idk what I'm going to do later as they get taller. I'm doing lst of course and I will try to scrog them to keep them low. I will probably have to top as well even though I really didn't want to this go around.

 

[MrSauga]

Yup, then I would keep 'em as low as possible without burning them. The lights lower will keep them from growing higher, but could add a little stress as well. So far they look good and I wouldn't change anything based on your conditions.

 

[Dragoond2]

Oh found some photo of my first two plant have a look and I didn't have the glass to correct the light colour so it purple af. The one in the black pot is my first attempt and the blue second I'm getting better lol

 

[MrSauga]

Yup, sure signs of overfeeding on the black pot. Tips burnt and curling up. Blue pot looks much better as you said.

Ya this grow is doing outstanding so far. I would love to break an ounce per plant this time around. The black pot I got like an 8th and the blue half an ounce. We'll see in a few months how it goes.

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

I am hoping for average at least 10 oz a plant from 4 I am hopeful but I don't know at least I have long growing times and plenty of room. @Dragoond2 how long did you keep it in veg to get 1/2 oz?

 

[Dragoond2]

@r0am1ng st0ner oh geez I'm not 100% sure being that I did not keep a grow journal. But if I had to guess I would say about 2-3 months but besides a nutes problem I also had heat issues temp reg was getting to 90-100+ for extended periods.

Well it really looks like you have it worked out better now

 

[Dragoond2]

@MrSauga I was looking at my GSC and was wondering if I should do some defoliation on her? Those big fan leaves are blocking the light on the auxiliary shoots that wanna grow.

 

[MrSauga]

It looks like you're doing an LST on the GSC is that correct? If so check out this link and ask all the questions you can. The thread is always active and @InTheShed is always willing to help if he can.
I don't want to say ya go ahead and pluck them since it could be the wrong thing to do with LST. I just don't know.

How I perform low stress training on my plants: Lots of pics!

Greetings all! I've had members ask about how I do my LST (low stress training) on my plants so I thought I would do a pictorial on it. My pics are of two different plants but don't let that confuse you. It's just easier to demonstrate that way. Let's discuss the theory behind LST for a...

Is this a bad sign? Tips of a few leaves are a light in colour. I'm thinking it a sign of nurmte burn starting so I'm going to pull back on the feed.

 

[MrSauga]

It looks like the start of nute burn. Just give it water for the next feeding and back off a bit on the nute amount.

 

[Dragoond2]

That's what I thought it's only the top few leaves... luckily I think I spotted it in time

 

[MrSauga]

 

[Dragoond2]

So I know I have said that 1ml of each nute was used but never said to how much water.... that's cuz um well water is only 28 fl oz or 828ml.

 

[Dragoond2]

So it a fifth of the nutes to a fifth of a gallon figured it be ok lol I'll drop it to .5ml next feeding time but next will just be phed water only

 

[MrSauga]

I don't typically offer advice on nutrients that I don't use. I do know what a plant looks like when it's getting too much of a good thing though!
This is where PPM readings help. If you know the PPM of the water, and the final PPM of the mix, you can start to understand how much to feed a plant.
