Emmie's Berry D'licious 2019 True Living Organic: No AACT, SCROG, COB, SuperSoil Production Grow & Seed Run

Bloom, Day 16
I feel comfortable in saying that stretch is now over and that the new buds have gotten as close as they wanted to the lights. Even at full output, there are no complaints to be seen on the upper leaves, so for now I am going to let things go as they stand. If need be, I can take the canister filter down from the ceiling and put it on the floor, and I could get another 6" of light space... but for now I am happy with things the way they are and there seems to be plenty of space to work with.

Next we will go on frost patrol, to see what is happening in that department:

Lastly, some pretty bud shots and views from the top of the canopy

Beautiful canopy, isn't it?!? You gotta be pleased with the grow! Cheers
 
Hey @Emilya, your lights are running 2 of the 240 series drivers if I remember correctly, right?

I will be running 4 Mars COBs I am wondering what I should adjust to for Veg then Flower and even seedling to veg I have never used lights before so I have no idea I know your lights are a different brand but do you have any suggestions

Em's lights are Cree CXB3590 with very efficient Mean Well drivers.

The Mars has Meanwell drivers too I would have to look at the specs on the type CREE COBs they are but I think they are pretty good too.

Ask them exactly what Mean Wells they use in your light. Some are in the 80%+ efficient range. The ones Em is using are about 94% I believe. Hopefully they use the good ones as well.
 
Today is watering day and I have started the process this evening with the first gallon of Recharge/Terpinator/CalmagPhos+. The added calmag is because I am now seeing signs of a mag deficiency in some of the lower fans that are still on the plant. Over the next several hours I will get these bags to hold at least 2 more gallons, and then I am going to push a bit and see how much extra I can give before runoff.

Today at the end of stretch I have noted a very interesting thing. Remember that I told you that I expected to see the trunk sizes increase during stretch, and they have, but the most interesting plant showing this increase is the @Vulx plant, M&M. Her trunk size increased to the point that she almost caught up with Red, and Red grew a bit too, as did Tara. The point is, the Vulx plant increased the most. Also, looking at the canopy, the Vulx has allowed M&M to catch up there too, and now her canopy is just about even with the other two. This right here, is a significant sign that the Vulx grow is showing an advantage and I am very pleased to be able to see it so clearly. Her watering needs are mostly identical to her sisters, but by seeing this extra growth, she is obviously taking up more nutes or has developed better roots than her siblings or both. I am impressed.

Those say 3590 chips but those sure dont look like Cree CXB3590 chips to me. Not at all what a CXB3590 looks like.
Do yours look just like those in the picture?

Less than that... each side of 3 cobs is running 245w, so a total of 490w with a measured PAR of 500-800 depending on how far from the center of the room you measure from.

Cant wait to see how things look when they really start stacking up. Looking really good at this point! Looking forward to any big differences you notice at the end.

And because of this, I am making sure to regularly rotate the plants around the room, each with their turn in the brightest light. The Vulx plant by the way, during this stretch growth spurt, was in one of the dimmest areas of the tent, and only today she been rotated into the middle and brightest position. Yet another positive nod toward Vulx!
