I’m coming out of retirement…… ( insert movie trailer music )

2nd to last shot, incredible stacking for this stage in flowering. These are going to be ridiculous come harvest time!

Looks like despite being out the game for a bit you haven’t lost your green finger(s). Very impressive!

Peace

Thanks man, and yes, they are stacking hard. Amazing what a dialled environment and steering the plant can do to its morphology..

Day 36 and I'm just back from my weekly visit.

10 deg f night time differential now. Vpd 1.2 - 1.3...

Ec now 2.5 ph 6
Vegetative 15% dry backs. PwEC 5

These are gonna be huge. Already the size of my arm most of these big colas. Another 30 days to go. Fook me..... and the smell...

One plant has a slight discolouration. Once I was there it was very evident. We were a day away from wilting. Dripper was fully blocked. So she's getting a few extra pushes of feed to run off for a few days.

Alright lads, it's good to see a lot of the old heads are still about. @azad told me to pop on here, great looking plants @theherbalizor and great to see you're still at it. I was gifted WD40, Star Dawg, and The White a long time about by JroSek. I sent them all to a load of growers in the UK so she still may be about. I can ask around to see.

Dam brother. Good to see you. Been a while. Hope you are well....

Yeah that wd40 will always have a home in my heart. Huge yields. Smell that made me anxious and so potent. Be amazing if she is still around. She started to go a bit weird on me in the end.

So some quick pics from day 43. Will update data tomorrow. Bit fooked after watching a car drive into a tree knowing it was gonna mean hours stuck in traffic. These are absolutely huge!

Bit of tip bleaching on very tops but they getting near 2000 ppfd there. So hardly surprising they couldn't keep up with chlorophyll demand...

Amazing @theherbalizor !!

Cheers Teresa…

Right, some data.

As of the 43rd day I have changed the light spectrum from hps ( warm white 100%, deep red 25% and far red 30%. We are now rocking a much more balanced and blue heavier spectrum, 100% cool white, 100% warm white and 20% deep red… and now dimmed down to 50% to achieve the target ppfd of 1100. I’ll hold here till either day 49 or 56….. then I’ll change spectrum again and lower ppfd, but for now that’s where my light is at.
CO2 still at 1200ppm
vpd now 1.3 ( 24 deg c and 55-60% rh day and 21 deg c and 50-55% rh night )
input ec now 2.2 next tank will drop down to 1.8-2 as I’m coming out of swell phase in next few weeks and switch to more generative steering.

but right now they are getting 6 x 8 min feeds 20 mins apart 2 hours after lights on, and the they get 3 more shots at 5pm, 7pm and 9pm 2 hours before lights out. This is helping to bring down the stacked ec from generative phase and allowing for stress free growth.

Here is a weeks worth of dry back data…..

You can see the yellow line, pwEC ( substrate ec ) trending downwards as I dont allow for big dry backs and lowering the input ec. The blue line is the vwc ( water content of the substrate ) you can see where irrigations happen and the plants drinking water and leaving some feed behind allowing it to stack slightly as the substrate dries back.

and second shot is 24 hours data so you can see finer detail. At the moment I’m pushing for reasonable run off so not adjusting my schedules, but as I change the steering, or plants enter new phases then I look at dry backs of the day and adjust the next days irrigation from home and update the controller remotely.
