Stu’s First Grow

Small pic dump, booked the afternoon off, as I put the hlg in the tent last night alongside the purples and just left it on the lowest setting, so every light came on this am at 9, so Just wanted to be home early to check on them lol...overkill possibly on the lights, also fed cal mag this aft to the 3 that were dry. Seeing lots of new growth,
I supercroped (I think right term) a branch last night and would not even know it today other than the little dent on the branch.

Its my highest branch at 37”... 4 inches taller than any other branch, so it needed to be slowed down

Overkill on the lights, will find out. I think the smallest light I may keep in there for this grow just so my smaller plants get equal attention and can have a light a bit lower for them, as they are 14” smaller

The little guy is bendy, very small compared to the rest, is small still when sitting on a 8” Tupperware bin lol

Underside of bendy..... as you can see on my sticky trap there’s a fly!!!! I’m still catching the odd one, last count I think I had 8 stuck to the traps, 2-3 traps per plant and DE all over, I’m really don’t want to get out of control on me, I think it’s gnats right? going to be adding panty hose to the bottom of all pots soon to block that access on them also if that’s were there getting in.

Few random pics now, Cheers peeps hope your days going well as mine.

Looks like it had other ideas! You can always add a weight to the branch above the bend to help it stay down while the stem repairs itself. Something as simple as a binder clip hanging from a twist tie should do it.

The grow looks great Stu!
 
LOL...yes! Next time do it right after the bend and you will have even better odds. At this point it may be more like an LST bend.
 
Holy F came home today and was dripping wet in my tent, 99% humidity, literally dripping from everywhere, I would imagine it had been that way from 10-11am till 4:00 pm NOT GOOD! my lights are all still working but were completely soaked, am using compressor and air nozzle to blow water out of things :( have exhaust on and back to 40% where I normally sit now. I must have bumped the exhaust fans cord this am when I was filling the humidifier in the pitch dark as I do every morning.
Is there any severe risk to the plants enduring a full day of getting dripped on.

Hour later everything’s dry again, removed all plants and dried off with exhaust fan discharge, wiped all walls lights fans etc off, they look same as they did this am, couple are a bit droopy but they’ll be fine I’m sure, now to finally relax and kick my feet up.... ugh
 
Not at this stage. In full buddage there would be some concern but it's too early to be worried about rot from moisture. Good catch though...that won't happen again!
 
It does rain outside so how much harm could it do?
 
True but they don't look any worse for wear. A couple of light burn spots are cosmetic.
 
Guess I’m not super observant, found a big split stock today, the plant shows no stress signs, and isn’t new as was all dry in the crack. I didn’t notice till I was peeking around extra today getting the new light in, and it runs very cold compared to my others, need to run heater 24/7 now which is all good, I’ll get up twice in the middle of the night tonight and check rh and temps just to make sure it’s all staying around 70 and 35rh (good as I can get atm) Put 2 clones in solos and 2 others have roots just waiting on the fish bones to extend a bit more. I went to 12/12 on Jan 11 as that was the 2 month date and I was getting sick of waiting on the light, so today is day 8 of 12/12. 6 days of that had the hlg on 50% for 4 hrs every day and today all day on about 70% with no purples in there any more. Can really see the flowering starting now. Any extra tips? When Can I trim some leaves? 21 days? I just keep tucking them in but getting bushy.

My Blue Treacle auto went through a whole new cycle of throwing pistils when I put it under the strips, so I'd say it's going to love the new light!

Keep an eye out for cal-mag deficiencies in case yours decides to be like my Sour G. It didn't like going from blurple to white.
