Good evening @LKABudMan I hope everything is OK with you.Date: 1/29/22
Strains - Hindu Kush (Abby), Purple Haze (Jenny), and White Widow (Betty) - All fem and photo
Light height and reading - 400w LED @ 100% 20 Inches away - 30-45k LUX
Medium - Fox Farms Happy Frog & Ocean Forest + 10% perlite in 5gal cloth pots
Nutrients - @Prescription Blend
Water - Carbon-filtered well water (100ppm)
Grow space - Vivosun 48x48x80 tent in basement
Extraction - AC Infinity 6" extraction fan
2 Oscillating fans + 1 Tower oscillating fan + 1 12" floor fan
Weekly Temperature
So far I am loving the new AC Infinity exhaust fan. I have it set to increase speed if the temperature gets above 82 or the humidity get above 68. It runs on low most of the time and keeps a lot more heat and humidity in the tent. I can finally get my basement tent up into the 80s and still keep the VPD in the correct range. Since the exhaust fan stays on low most of the time I worry that I am not getting enough fresh air into the tent. Right now the girls look to be loving it, though. I may consider putting a co2 source in the tent for flower.
The first week of 12/12 is almost over. Since the uppot to 5g I am watering about every 5 days. The girls are still looking nice and green. I am still feeding the @Prescription Blend at the late veg level. Next week I plan to move to the flower schedule and start adding the 'big data'.
I wanted to avoid the SCROG net for now due the the reasons in the last post but I also want to keep the canopy as even as possible. So I am keeping the LST on all of the girls. It probably would have been much easier to use the scrog net. However, I rather enjoy the process of LST. I go down to the basement, turn on some good music, smoke a nice pipe, and just lose an hour or two with the plants. Sometimes it is nice to escape from life for a bit. I tried to spread them out as much as possible and keep them at the same level. My goal is to make sure there are no buds higher than the rest.
Jenny (Purple Haze) is the biggest and got LST'd the night before the others (1/26). By the next day she had already turned all of her buds up and needed a little fine tuning.
Betty (White Widow) is the smallest and tightest. Her nodes are super tight and her branches are thick so she is hard to do much with. She only had a couple of her branches tied down initially (1/27). I just tied her up fully today. She was getting to be taller than the others, and she really needed to be spread out a bit.
Abby (Hindu Kush) had a couple of buds in the middle that were hard to tie down so I supercropped them and just laid them down. The next day you can see the bend but they are already standing back up.
You can see in the pictures how quickly they recover from the LST. I also continue to take a leaf or two, especially if they are growing in toward the middle and covering bud sites or growing down and in the shade.
My plan is to maintain the LST and supercrop through the stretch to try to keep the buds separated for good airflow and the canopy as even as possible. If any bud grows higher than the rest in the next two weeks, it gets put down! Other than that just waiting to see some flowers
Happy Growing.
Thanks @7Dust2 I'm going to take that as a complimentDang budman. Your sht it G. uP.
Hi @Bill284 It has been a rough week. The company I have worked for 20 years ran out of money this week. I had to tell my staff that there were no paychecks. On the same day I finally got the offer I have been waiting for. I was able to resign immediately and I start my new job next Monday. It worked out, I suppose. I am being told I will get paid on Wednesday but we will see. All I know is that I am excited to go to work next week and that has not been true for a while.Good evening @LKABudMan I hope everything is OK with you.
your update is spectacular.
And your garden looks perfect my friend
Stay safe
Bill

Well @7Dust2 I can't say it was a surprise. The company has been looking for funding for years. For the past six months it has been "funding will be here next week, the week after that at the latest". We are down to bare bones for staff and have not been paying any vendors for the past two months. And funding is still supposed to be here next week or the week after that. It just became too late.Dang @Bill284 ran out of money. That's odd . They couldn't tell y'all before make few cut backs to save something . Just one day hey we can't pay y'all so leave. Lmao.

Life took a turn, but I also got the job offer I had been waiting for on the same day I am going from being the EVP of all of IT to being a coder again. No personnel issues, no budgeting, no trying to keep a dying company afloat; just doing what I do best. It is a bit less money but a LOT less stress. At my age that is a trade I will make any day.
Happy Monday everyone
Thanks @PlanetJ My company has been going downhill for several years now. The grows over the last couple of months have really helped me take my mind off of it, so it really has been my therapy I am glad to be done with management for now (where I did have to deal with crying) and am really looking forward to the new job. Now, if I can only get away from the old job...Looking good here as well .. its hard to believe this is just your second grow. Awesome stuff man, great to read that your situation sorted as well .. dealing with code is always better .. its just as unpredictable as the average human, but it wont start crying You might
