I have no idea what the PPFD is at the top of the canopy but the info sheet that came with the light says this :)
  • Total PPFD: 430 µmols/m²/sec
  • Efficiency PPFD/Watt: 2.0 µmols/watt
  • Total PPF: 470 µmols/sec
  • Lumens: 34,430
  • Efficiency lumens/watt: 160
Right one I’m just trying to figure out how to say how much total umols like you not if it makes sense to me your numbers are different then mine . The way it’s worded maybe or laidout? How much wattage it push from wall ?

Sorry just trying to understand better

Here’s mine
 
Lol. thats ok. It's pushes 110w from the wall but I have 2 (its modular) so I have about 220w from the wall. I just looked on the website and I think it has a par rating of 850 at canopy height. I'm not sure though. I'll see what else I can find.
 
Flowering Day 12

It's getting bushy in there! Some are showing signs of flower and some are still just growing. I've noticed that the larger ones are the plants that are showing pistils and the smaller ones are still a bit behind. This gives me hope of them catching up with the larger ones. I'm really looking forward to defol day now lol. Happy growing all!

Wow, wow, wow! I’m totally drooling over here! I can’t believe how many you’ve got in there and it’s making me really rethink my next grow plans. :D Looking forward to defol day too, can’t wait to see what they do when they get a bit more elbow room. :yummy:

Lol thank you HH. Your so kind. I think that I'll chop some leaves next Saturday. I was going to take them out the tent and take pics of them individually but the pump was running when I opened the tent. I will try again tomorrow. Do it! It's a great way to get a good selection of smoke. It's a little more tricky with soil though because all the pots dry up at different times so if your not careful you can find yourself watering all the time. I'm currently looking into a solution for this and maybe I can incorporate my dripper system into my soil grow that I'm doing next. Hope you're well my dear :)
 
Flowering Day 14
Hey 420. Well firstly I'm sorry that I haven't taken them out the tent for any pics yet but I've been busy and it's not the easiest of tasks. They are still going to be trimmed heavily on Saturday though so they'll definitely be out then. They will be due a full res change at the same time so I'll be putting in only flowering nutes. Currently they are feeding at 786ppm with a ph of 5.6. They still only have a small amount of flowering nutrients in the solution which I will increase tomorrow when I top up the tank. So far they look great. A few are a little small but I did take some risks that paid off with most of them but some didn't enjoy being butchered at an early age. So far I've achieved what I set out to do but it's not over yet. Still a week or so of stretch left which I keep forgetting. Well that's about it for now, hope you've all had a great day :)

Flowering Day 15

Hey 420! I'm really considering removing leaves earlier than the weekend. In fact I've just plucked a few key offenders from the top of some of the plants. It's getting mental in there though. They're drinking 10lt+ everyday now. There should have been one more watering can before the chop but I'm going to add a couple more just to be safe. Some of the stems are huge for the size of the plants which are relatively small compared to some of the wonderful projects that ive viewed on this site. What I'll probably do is remove a load of leaves daily until Saturday when I'll remove the rest and get the ladies out for pics. Some of them are flowering now also. Both Criticals are beasts and are ahead but the darkstar may end up being bigger than them as she is still growing vertically at a fast pace. Both Blueberries are behind and are the shortest of the lot. Well that's all for now. Time to go and add the nutes before the res starts to dry up again. Happy growing all :)

Looking great professor. Healthy plants like that need constant defoliation, they won’t miss a beat. You could end up with a really impressive gram per watt ratio the way your garden is looking. I can’t wait to see what you yield.

Thanks man. Yeah, they're screaming for a trim now. I'm certainly going to beat the last grow in terms of yield and I was pretty happy with what I got out of that one. The one thing that concerns me is airflow during flower but it may not be that bad, I'll have a better idea after the defol.
 
Just fantastic!!! You’ve certainly showed me that I can put a lot more in my tent next tine, and they will be great. :laugh: I was being a scaredy first time grower I guess. Hope you are having a good day!
You certainly can. I would definitely recommend getting a few grows under your belt first with maybe a few different strains to see how they can vary in growth patterns. One time I did what I'm doing now but with 8 different autoflowers. It was carnage lol I had to remove 5 and get rid of them. They just kept growing. If you ever get into cloning then you can do things like this with a bit more control. lol it's ok to be scaredy, I was soo careful in my first year then it becomes a bit more relaxed. Thanks HH :)

Thanks joe. I'll take a look :Namaste:
 
Sorry for lack of update peeps. Family break for a few days but now I'm back. I have an unexpected day off so I'm going to use this time to DEFOLIATE! Later on we'll get to see what they look like under the hood. Now I warn you, they are going to look funny. Maybe even sad looking but things will be cool. I've done this several times now. Catch ya all later on :)
 
Ahhh, breathing room to stretch and grow! They all look fantastic :goodjob:
Thanks HH. I've still got a few to remove but they're mostly done. Then in a few days after a little rest I'll bend/snap down the branches to expose them to the light more. Took about 2 hours so it's like having to harvest twice lol :)
