I suck at LST.
I suppose practice makes perfect, but I'd suffer a lot of loses practicing.







There,... crutches.

I got kinda drunk and decided to give my closet plant a crew cut...







I didn't leave any hair on her head.







I figure that she doesn't need big ole leaves up top, when she's surrounded by light.

Now she can tan more easily lower down.







She's still got a ways to go...








(This is the main Cola under the light ^^^, but all the colas look the same.)

I checked my runoff/reservoir for ppm and PH.


I got 650 PPM,

And 6.5 PH with the Hydrion strips and 7.0 with the drops...

The DTW is half as strong as the recirculated...


I'm keeping it right in between at about 1000 PPM input concentration.

Oh boy, this is stunning.

Finally you can really exploit that cool led strip setup you built way before. I hope you manage to avoid any mold.

Great progress since WW-s.

Thanks f2 :thank you:

She really is shaping up nice.
It is a lot drier at this time of year, so that should help with keeping the mold away.



I decided to turn down the overhead strips, because this plant appears to be foxtailing as well.

The colas aren't finished yet, but the tops of the main cola and a few others have new pistils growing.


I also reduced my nute solution strength by half because she's getting close to finishing.


I have no idea how much longer she needs to turn orange??

I'll take a look at the trichomes to get idea of where she stands.


Reiko's plants look great too. They aren't huge, but they only have 5 SILs shining on them.

I would blame 29-30 C cannopy temperature for foxtailing tendency

I did just turn down the ceiling strips, which should help to bring down temperatures.
All the ceiling strips are 5000 K as well, which may have something to do with it.
The wall strips are all 3500 K.
I'm thinking that less light may get her into autumn mode and get her to finish up.

I'll check the temperature today and maybe turn the exhaust fan back on.

Awesome job dude! Your girls looks better every time I stop in.

Thanks, JustSomeTomatoes. :thank you:

Everything has really come together with this plant.
I've been playing around with every aspect of growing, since I joined this site almost 2 years ago.

I finally got things kinda figured out.
I know what to do for the next plant.

Even my little SIP containers for Reiko's plants seem to be working well. They are really easy too, just add nutrient water.
