Pink Rozay Under A ViparSpectra XS1500

Cool start Mel, I've never read much about Hempy's, I hope you don't mind me tagging along. How do you keep fungus from growing all over the top of the perlite?
Glad to have you here!
I spray the top of the perlite periodically with hydrogen peroxide, but if the humidity is kept in check there usually isn't a problem with fungus on top.
The perlite wicks water, but doesn't hold it like soil. The top layer usually feels fairly dry.
lol. I've done that before, I lost my sweat pants once for 20 minutes only to discover I was wearing them.

I don't want to distract from your journal, but thought this was important based on an earlier post.

Watered again today. She's still drinking fairly slowly, but it's increasing.
I'm wondering about those long petioles. I got them on my first hempy grow with Jack Herer, but I didn't really notice it happening on the Skywalker OG that was in there with her, or on later grows. Those were all more indica heavy genetics though.

Day 20



it looks really good as everything is now.
where are you at for height and dimming?




i have to agree.
Thanks bluter!
It's about 40-45cm above her at 20%.
I don't need to turn it up for heat anymore, but I'm surprised she's not stretching.
The next step up on the dimmer is 40%, which is a big jump. I definitely prefer the sweep dimmer on the XS2000, but that's a pretty minor gripe. Especially since I can turn this one off with the dimmer, where the XS2000 had to be connected to a timer or unplugged to turn it off.

it's developing great. i don't think there's anything to be worried on.

it looks indica dominant and may stay a bit stout and bushy. it's early yet and they can change.

are you flowering under the same light?

i'd be about 40 - 50% roughly on the dimming myself by now as a hard guess. i ramp up slowly each week.

i run the whole grow at 24 - 18 inches above the canopy. as the plant reaches from 24 into the 18 inch mark in veg, i just raise the light. when it gets into flower i do the same until stretch stops, and then i leave it at the 18 mark.

I'm not really worried, just wondering. I'll be growing a sativa dominant plant soon, hopefully this winter if the timing works out, so maybe we'll see if that's why.
It will help get light to the side branches, so it's definitely not a bad thing.

It is supposed to be indica dominant, so that fits. On the other hand the tent is 200cm tall, so I do have room to play with.

Yes, I intend to run the entire grow with this setup. The spectrum is fairly warm, I have to adjust the white balance to keep the plant from looking washed out, so it's suitable for flowering.
I intend to build my own 6400k spectrum rig for a grow or two to test out flowering under it. I want to test out if the increase in potency outweighs the decrease in yield. My indoor grows are mostly for vaping, so it's more about quality than yield.
Normally I have my lights at 50% by this point. That's where the light in my other tent is now, and I rarely get above 75% in flower due to signs of light stress.
This plant has started drooping whenever I turn this light up, even when I raised it.
I'm going to try again though. Inverse square law says if I raise it to 60cm and turn it up to 40% the ppfd should remain the same (I think), so I'll try that and then let her grow closer to it for a bit.
She might just be light sensitive though.
Either way it'll be a good learning experience for a new light.
 
Looking good Mell! And you’ve managed to keep the grass off of her :)
