First Time Grow - Looking Good But What Do I Know

[Mondstern]

My experience with veg is that as long as you keep the lights in ok height, they wont stretch. But after flip, it does not matter how far you put your light above them. They will stretch vertically. At 21inches youre looking at 40 to 60 inches as per what I said. I think you are good to go.

That's gonna push my height. This will be a fun learning experience. I'll make the swap tomorrow day 32 it's definitely big enough

 

[Mondstern]

One thing to note after flip is the adjustment of light fixture during the stretch period. You do not want them to stretch and burn themselves by getting too close with your light

Ok I have 60 inches vertical but minus a couple for lights. Lol may have bit off more than I can chew. I'll start to train the top branches out to space it out. Thanks for the info

Started some LST to help with light

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Is this normal looking purple? Mystery seed so not sure of genetics. Definitely not too cold probably more like too hot 80-85. Maybe I'm just geeking out for no reason

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

How much does heat impact the plant? We are having a heat wave and temps in tent are around 85+ also low humidity I'm running humidifiers but only holding around 40% rh

If you have heatwave , try to cool off in the tent. Some strains can take heat better (see when the seed bank write Mediterranean climate for example) Pineapple Chink /Deep Cheese for example.
Easy DIY is making your own air conditioning with a foam box ( you know the ones you use to store foods/drinks with ice blocks) 2 holes on top, one with a fan blowing air in the box that you have filled with frozen water bottles, and the other is out let.

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Good idea. It looks like temps fall back into the mid high 70s Sunday so think I'll be ok. Still trying to figure out the purple... I think it's fine but have no clue, to many variables

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

She responded really well to the LST, totally filled in the space overnight.

You can see the difference from day 31-32

Started with 300w led 135tw after doing some reading I felt that I needed to up my wattage to get the end result I want either way I figured it wouldn't hurt. Also added a 4" inline for exhaust so 2 3" fan and the 4" still running a little warm in the 3'x3' tent. Doing good so far I think day 4 of 12/12

Gonna be tight on space I think too

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Added a marshydro 300w

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Just a quick update nothing new going on

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

After about a week of 12/12 finally got some preflower starting. I was getting a little worried almost to day 40 so I guess she's a late bloomer.

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Been working on LST hopefully I'm doing it right.

All wires under the canopy

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

I would love some feedback from the community. I'm doing some LST, all my tops are almost at the same height except for a few. Am I doing this right lol? If you know anything about LST please feel free to comment thanks

Hi
sorry but I had a broken pc for 2 weeks and then I was on a laptop half broken, so I couldn't really follow any journals.
She looks good and the LST is fine. Just avoid metal wires, it can cut the stems.. you can make a ring/U shape of pipe cleaners and then hook the metal wire in the ring to hold the stem down.

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

I had to remove about 9 leaves due to thrips but I think she'll rebound quickly. I like the idea of pipe cleaners right now I twist the wire to increase the diameter. Thanks for the feedback
