My olders are looking good
The new lux meter is easy to work on, and the younger smaller one that have a even cannopy with all the branches more on less in the same level are getting an average of 25k lux readings more on less at 25/20cm if i recall it right
The older bigger one that is not trained is getting 30k at the cannopy and the side lower branches are getting between 15/20k, so quite a difference between the both, good to see differences between them in the end
The older one
The smaller even one
if they stop stretching im going to lower the bulbs the most i can while maintaining a even cannopy reading, at leats in the trained one..
Maybe add another light in the middle, need to think about it

So my oldies are still stretching a bit i think, a least they are a bit taller, they did not start to thick yet.
I added another sil, phillips 8w 820lm at the same distance than the others and now the lux readings are a bit higher and more consistent but still on the trained one, the untrained the lux readings just increase a bit, mostly on the cannopy, all are about 23/25cm from the trainded one, of course the untrained since is a bit more tall is getting more light
The trained now have an average of 29/30k lux and the cannopy of the taller one is at about 35/37k, i need to convert this to ppfd and do some calculations, if they dont stretch much more i will raise them or lower the lights
Nothing new to show
The cannopy of the older one
The "cannopy" of the younger one, this one i think she will finish first, the bud sites are more developed a bit
I dont need a carbon filter for them, the smell is not much strong in the area where the grow is but this can be because of various things, but when i get close to them and rub my fingers on them they smell very good, the younger one have a stronger smell.

Day 23 Auto
Day 23 Auto
So yesterday i lower the lights of my youngins and i get a reaction from them, they tell me fhey are very pleased and to not do it again. Its not very noticeable in the pics, but at nake eye, they jumped a bit in size, mostly the skunk
The auto i thing is starting to put some serious growth now i think
Im seeing some roots on the side holes of the pot, but i dont see none in the bottom, dunno what to think, also i feel i need to get my watering right but is a bit hard to dial it since i dont know how a proper moistered soil for cannabis is.
I didnt fed anything to them by now, just a bit of callmag and i dont think they are asking for anything, the thing is, feeding them will make them grow faster or bigger?dunno, i think i will stick like this until they ask me for something, they have 2 soils and one of them is more fertilized so i think its working
My auto, i think im not goin to lst her, im gonna let it grow how she wants (maybe kkkkk)

The little women are growing up
Are your older plants showing some pistils on your top central bud?
I see some alternate nodes, so your plants are ready to flower (i think).
30klux 2700k 80cri are about 450 ?mol/m-2/s-1.
Are these values uniform in your grow room or only on some spot?

They are flowering, today im sure and i will show in the update of them.
About the lights, no, its not uniform like it should be because i have 4 13w sils and 8w..and the displacement of them is not the best for a better spread, i would need them all 8w or 9w and spreaded better..
The younger one that is have more even readings than the other one that is not straped..

So i think my old girls are in the flowering stage, the younger one seems a bit more quicker, maybe less root mass, dunno..
They stoped stretching and i say this because i didnt notice any difference in the last days and after seeing buds forming i assume they need more light and i raised them closer to the lights
The younger faster straped at 18/20cm from the lights with readings of 33~40k lux readings if i raised her more i begin to lose light in some bedsites so i prefer a more even light spread
Little buds
The older one untrained. Cannopy distance 15cm +/-
Readings from 15k in the lower buds to 45k lux +/-

Older one cannopy

So i think i will give them a bit of biogrow. In the biobizz feeding schedule i should be giving them 4ml/L but and in the entire grow i never passed from 1.5ml/L and they never complained, but they are a bit too lime green in the new growth i think and some older leafs are changing the color a bit so i think is a bit of lacking of nitrogen. I bumped the callmag and biobloom in the next waterings, they did show improvements but the biobloom has little bitrogen and callmag dont have any.
Appart from that i think they are properly flowering?
They are also drinking more, im giving them 500ml of water everyday at lights out and they dont show to bother with it
The lack of much smell i think is from the cat silica that i use to lower the rh, it has anti odor propertys, i hope it dont fuck the high or taste of the buds

Day 24
Day 24
So i moved my auto to the middle of the cab where the light is stronger and better spreaded, geting 15k lux by now.
She is getting bigger day by day and i think she is entering the stretching fase, if its not that she is puting out some growth, but i think the ammout of pistils say that she is running to flower i think?
She is 16cm tall the exact same length the soil have in heigth, is it small or big for a 6.5l pot?i know that its mostly strain related but...
The side branches with pistils is what says to me that she is running to flower also the cannopy seems thicker, full with pistils(?)
Still, no smell for her by now

Mrs Skunk
I moved the skunk to the side, its getting less light but she will compensate in the future, the maturation is much more slower compared to the auto, for me in my inexperienced opinion, is night and day
I love the glossy brigthness of her leafs, the auto is more opace
Im going to cut the first set and branches today and in one day or two i will top her 6th node
Im loving this
Peace

Guys, if you can help me in something..
My light schedule is 20/4, when the lights turn on they get perky but usually 5/4 hours before lights out they get all droppy like they are when lights are out, is it normal so much hours before the lights turn off or is something else?its like this everyday..too much light for too much time??

They seems in termal protection mode...try to not give more then 30klux on canopy level
450ppfd x 20 x 0.0036 = DLI 32
40klux
620ppfd x 20 x 0.0036 = DLI 44.6
Whats your temperature inside the grow?
To sustain a strong DLI they need 25/30°C leaves can't work at maximum efficency below 25°C.
Above dli 45 you need additional CO2 in your grow room.
Try rise your lamps and see if tomorrow do the same.
Whats your RH?

Thanks caio
so i am indeed giving them to much light, i will lower the girls to where they were befoee, but they show the same thing..Should i assume that when they start to droop they reach their saturation point?
The temps are around 24/25c and rh between 50/65 when lights on, and 22c and rh 60/70 lights off, i cant manage it better since its only one fan for the both cabs and i dont have a circulation fan inside the cab.
I may have mold in the future if the rh keeps that high, will see..
