- Vivosun 48x48x80 tent
- Vivosun VSF6450 Foldable LED Grow Light @ 100% (45k LUX)
- Vivosun AeroWave A6 Clip-on oscillating 6" fan
- 6" exhaust fan w/ controller
- 4" booster fan for air intake (Filtered)
- 12" floor fan + Oscillating tower fan
- 4 Site 13g RDWC system + 13g reservoir
- Vivosun 332 GPH Air Pump (14W 21L/min)
- Vivosun 2x4 Air Stones (x4)
Nutrients - Stout MSA, Megacrop, Voodoo Juice, Pirhana, Hydroguard, z7
Medium - 8" Netpots with clay balls in RDWC system (5x13g buckets)
Water - Carbon-filtered well water (100ppm/8.0pH)
This has been the easiest 5 weeks of veg I've ever had. The RDWC helps a lot with that, especially for the first couple of weeks when I don't need to do anything. Using the scrog net about 8" off the buckets has made LST really easy. All I've done is tuck the branches outside a couple of times. I haven't even taken a leaf off so far.
They were flipped to 12/12 on Monday. I've been increasing the @VIVOSUN VSF6450, which is now up to 100% (45k LUX). At the same time I'm increasing the nutes. It's time to get these ladies ramped up for flower!
I really wanted to clean up the undercarriage before they start to bloom. So my trim crew (my wife and son) and I cleaned them up last night. They were a mess! There were so many layers of leaves sitting on the buckets you couldn't even see the trunks.
We started by cleaning up anything laying on the buckets so we could see the middle. Then we worked our way from the middle out. Anything that wasn't going to reach the canopy was removed. That included all suckers (nodes growing from the bottom of other branches) and several first nodes. I went a little easy on Speck because she's not as mature as the others. I may clean her up a bit more in a week or so. She's still not filling her corner, but she'll get there
We saved the best of the cuttings for cloning (and the prettiest leaf).
We finished by cleaning up a few leaves from the canopy that were blocking bud sites and tucking everything below the net. At the end it looked like they'd been trampled by something.
BEFORE
AFTER
By this morning they looked much better. And look at all those bud sites!
I'll put up the second net this weekend, about 8-10" from the first. That gives me plenty of room to work with, no running into the lights this grow I'll use the second net to make sure the buds are evenly spaced and the same height as they grow up toward the light. I have at least a week before I start seeing buds and I hope to have the 4x4 wall-to-wall by then.
