OG's Nine Strains Under LEDs In Hydro

Here is the result of one day later broken (hst) amnesia haze that just started veg:

Thank you for answering questions I was having in my head while I was looking at your pictures. You plants look fantastic OG. I love how close you can get the lights because of the movers.

 

[SweetSue]

I have to agree with Noob. Exemplary space OG. That's some of the best canopy work I've seen. Your plants are beautiful! I'll have to stop here more often.

they are looking good

Here is a bonus picture of bloom cabinet running. Can see my new 5 foot wide light rack. Now all the lights only move back and forth one foot with even spacing between them. Much more even lighting than the 4 foot rack and still only one light mover.

Great

Lovin it my friend, looking loaded with lumens

Yeah those lights are so bright they don't photograph well. Don't have that problem with the other one unfortunately...

color corrected sunglasses used by indoor cultivators could also be used on your camera in a pinch

It's not the colour its the brightness. Shoot a pic with my Mars 2 "700" and it is not too bright to photograph:

Even tried my digital camera instead of phone and same problem. Can manual white balance and correct the COLOUR but the brightness is still too much, those eshine lights with the lenses on them are very bright.
Too bad they just discontinued this eshine 3G series. They were the same as the overpriced platinum p300 and such. I got an email from eshine saying they were discontinued and having sales on the left over stock but not to worry they would cover the full warranty. Had them for years now though and zero problems.

Today's training on project Fat Sativa was just to FIM another tip.
So she is now 2" tall with three tips and 7" across. Two of the top tips have just been FIMed including the one today so they should make a lot of tops also.
Today's FIM is top of the picture branch of first pic.

I guess I should explain my thinking when I train the way I do.
Basically whichever shoot is tallest I break it back down to even height with the others and FIM it. I then bend the rest of the plant as flat as I can while bending the limbs to best fill the free space I have for each plant. I keep FIMing and bending until I have as many tops as I want in as short a plant as possible, then go to bloom when your required size dictates. If your plant has a thin spot then FIM the tips in the thin spot, if it has a dense spot then just HST that area and skip FIM until it gets even and flat filling your space. Now make sure all your plants are even to the light as close as your light a allows without burning. Easiest way to do that is lift the pots your shorter plants are in until all about the same height. Basically you end up with panels of bud.

In my first journal on this site was growing 4 square foot plants 2x2 each with 30 tops each. Now I have 9 kinds going so more like an average of 1 and a third square feet each. So now I shoot for around a dozen tops each but some are smaller due to starting delays.

You wouldn't happen to have a step by step guide with pictures on how to train your plants would you?
I really like the way your plants turn out but can't quite work out how you do it. I'm only on my second grow after first was only just successful so still very new to things

 

[OttawaGreen]

Here is my first journal when I joined this great forum and met all you great friends to discuss growing our favourite plant: Two Chocolope Plants Under Two Eshine LED Panels in Hydro
That was under two 260w led panels (now blooming with those plus a third one of the same) with a high yield strain (chocolope) and excellent conditions with no problems.

That is what I am making you guys for the first time right now. Step by step wth pics of amnesia haze. You get a front seat at the start of it all! . Within a month it will be big and have all the tops I want and I will document along the way.
Thanks for following along guys and making all the typing worth it

The detailed pics my iPhone 5 used to take as shown on the page I linked above really make me miss the 5. My iPhone 6 auto noise reduces until trichomes look like Monet paintings 8-(

Yeah,it's not easy to take pics under the light

It's not the colour its the brightness. Shoot a pic with my Mars 2 "700" and it is not too bright to photograph:

So a couple days later and all I have done is bend any branches that stand up taller than the rest back down flat.
