Pruning is basically finished. I still have some sucker buds to take care of but any branches that couldn't get light have been removed. The growth has been a bit difficult to manage as I suspected it would be; but I knew I had flipped a bit late for the room size. I have had to raised my lights as high as possible and, as can be seen in one of the pictures, raise the floor fan as well. I already had a bunch of Styrofoam insulation cut into squares to I used those to prop the fan up with. I ended up having to lollipop the plants on the floor because the lower branches were way below the light. Not only were they not getting as much intensity as everything else, it too much of a pain to hand water with those branches in the way. I think the setup is good but next time I will veg into it a bit earlier and flip earlier.
We are getting outside temps in the 80's now and it is a bit hot on the canopy. The ambient temp taking from the wall of the room hasn't gotten above 83 but the canopy is getting in the upper 80's. I have pulled the branches of the lower level plants as far away from the light as possible and the only thing left to do is move the entire setup outwards against all the walls and move back inward to facilitate watering, which I don't really wanna do everyday but will if needed to keep temps down.
The OG's seem to be doing the best...there are a lot of good branches with that are easily trained forward and the stretch seems right for vscrog. The blackberry kush's seem to be doing good as well. The SLH's are keeping up and doing OK. the Trainwrecks did not stretch as much as I thought they would and are getting buried. The Fruity Chronic Juice is not filling in well at all. This one is mostly indica but actually seemed to stretch right for the vertical setup but the buds just seem weak compared to some of the other strains.
The OG's also happened to have the most clonable branches and I have plenty to run a mono-crop next round.
Enjoy the pics!
