Robb's 2nd Organic Closet Grow

[InTheShed]

With FFOF you need to be careful with nutes until they look like they really need them. I've seen N toxicity in FFOF even with big plants when they're fed regular veg nutrients.

Yeah they look very rich in Nitrogen

Update week 3 veg. Looking good, maybe i will top 2 them next week.

Squat and solid! Color looks great too .

Update week 4 veg got a little light burn one so I raised the lights

 

[InTheShed]

Poor crispy leaves! Whenever you raise the light for the tallest plant it's good to raise the other plants some so they maintain the correct distance as it goes up.

Too early to start smoking your plants!

Week 4 veg 24 hours
They others are finally catching up. I pinched the tops of the larger ones so the smaller ones can catch up more.

Nice growth! They look a bit over-nuted and the tips are clawing so I would think you'd be safe backing down the nutes for a while. FFOF is pretty hot and when you add the FF trio (especially at their recommended amounts) you can see those results.

Update Week 6

Plants are looking pretty good. Topped them a few times.

Are you going to thin out the growth at all? In the pics there's basically no light below the top 6" or so.

[InTheShed]

Nope, I do not. On the other hand, I'm usually good company .

Update I have started flowering it's been about 1 week. I have added some UVB/UVA's t5's gonna run them for 6 hours a day as I build there tolerance

Plants look happy if a bit dense down under for airflow. Any eyeball risk from those UV bulbs?

Thanks bro! The distance on UVB/UVA isn't that far from the light but they are powerful UVB way more than you would receive in outdoors. I definitely wouldn't recommend working in the room with the lights. Eyeglasses cannot protect from UVB. I think i will trim the bottom growth this weekend, give me something to do.

Idle hands are the devil's playground!

I thought there were sunglasses that protected from UVB...now I have to go check on mine.

Glasses will protect your eyes but not skin, UVB can cause skin cancer.
