Love this thread, I should start posting more to it, hey SC is the fan under your bulb a honeywell?
Thanks for the comments Cmoon, Foothillsfarmer and Crtoker/Zigzag. That's excellent news BushDr will save it before that site goes down lol j/k.
Whodi, check out the site BushDr mentions the grow is there.
Osirica420, thanks man but I really doubt i'll get the gpw with this grow due mainly to something I'll show in a minute, some plants may have 3oz on them but one or two don't look it it's my first time with any kind of hydro and first vert so can't complain. Not having the extraction above the light has been a problem for me too with the weather changing.
Thanks HGO post away man, no it's just an average 12" industrial fan off ebay cost about 30quid I think. You want to get the best one you can afford though as it's an important part.
So over the last week or two I've been too busy to pay any attention to the plants apart from watering but the other day I noticed a few of these horrible things
I reckon these are caused by too much intense light in late flower or light leaks and also overfeeding contributes to it but my ec has been 1.0 - 0.8 the last couple of weeks and I'm running the lights through the day to avoid light leaks at night. The buds that aren't directly facing the screen are all fine
Most of the side bud tops are like this, real pain in the arse,
they could have used all that energy fattening buds instead. To solve it I've just turned all the plants 180 ddegrees so now they're leaning away from the light they're also a good few inches further away. I think in the future I'll move plants back 5-6 inches two thirds of the way through flower with, sativa varieties anyway.
this top is thick as my forearm and rock solid and looks like it'll be done enough by day 70, beginning to throw a few nanners but this late on it's not an issue
bit of frost from a more sat leaning pheno
in the bottom left here you can see the fucked up tops on the side buds, looks like a reveg. Some of the calyxes closest to the light went purple on this pheno.
These are all on day 64 today and will get another 10 days and then hung intact upside down for 4 days while they die then I'm moving to a new place. They could go a week or two longer I think but it's worked out well as they are fat and already more than strong enough.
Will be back with better pics at harvest time, have fun folks.

SC .... I had that on one I could see, long and short of it cut the lot ....... just as well as in daylight I could see this was happening all over
The colour of your top leaves are very green mate, they should be bleaching now ..... lots of new trics too

hey dude yer fan that points straight up....beside that is there a another fan that blows tht air to the side after it gets to the top?? er im confused on how you get air out?? cuz i have a 12 inch pointed up in the middle n a 4 inch fan wth scrubber as well just like you and i wanna kn how you use yer airflow?? and also what setting???high?? my height is arnd 40 inchs tall but no limits on other dimensions,,,thnx in advance bro im lost
Looks like overfeeding. Dunno what nutrients you are using but perhaps you shoulda cut the micro /(nitrogen) in half weeks ago and should be using bloom nutes only by now. Maybe you're fine with your nute program, but just throwing that out as a suggestion.
Those buds look pretty. peace SC

Yeah Bush I'm just waiting another few days and they'll be down, if I was putting another lot in I'd chop now but I'm stopping for a while to scope out the new place. I've chopped off all those stretchy things and hopefully the remaining buds'll mature a little. It's a shame as they were developing perfectly, need to experiment more for these nearly pure sats. They could really use another 2 weeks at least but needs must. Some of the tester buds have been very racy, heart attack material.
Jack you put the extract above the bulb so 12" blows the hot air into it, this is the most important part for keeping temps down. What bulb are you using with a 4" fan?
Whodi, I've been overfeeding from the start having never grown in coco before I just used the ppms I see other people on the boards using aiming for around 1.6 but have found out over the grow that's way to much. I'm at 0.7 ec just now and they're just beginning to show deficiencies. You may remember from previous posts I've also been using one res for all the plants, being seedplants they all have different requirements etc. not to mention changing nutes half way through, drowning my ec pen and so on and yes of course I've been using flowering nutes during flower.
Are you talking about the stretching buds by the way? I'm pretty sure it's caused by too much light late in flower, it's only happening on parts of the buds that were close to and driectly facing the light. It happens a lot with sativas due to them maturing late in the year when the sun would be low in the sky.

I think this is the reason for your stretching buds. The plant is trying to revert to vegetative growth due to the longer days.
They look wonderful otherwise. Congrats.

How do you hold the wire cage in place?
Don't think I see chains from the ceilings in BushDr's or SuperConductor's posts.
Do they just stand in place on their own? Clamp them to the floor somehow?

My SSH is doing a very similar thing, I think these girls would be helped by cutting the lights to 10 on during the last couple weeks.

bumpity bump bump bump...
lets see a update! i wanna see the backside of the plants after the inner most nugs have matured. in my experience the shaded nugs are just not as good. still better quality over all compared to horizontal lighting.
i got new pics of my 400w v-scrog in my thread in sig. check it out! drop a line or two. i'm doing the same thing as you but vegging longer and only flowering the tips of the plant(s). i'm shocked how well it is working out.

yo superconductor how was the yield? hoping you got that gram per watt.
Never thought of usin a cage. I had 2 stakes per pot and used some fuzzy pipe cleaners to pull the plants away from the light. The 400w allows me to get pretty close w/o any issues.

no joke on getting them close, check out how close my tips are from the light!
even a 400w can produce some rock solid nugs.
