This should be the second to last update for this grow as we are getting close to harvest, though I’m sure I’ll have questions as we get closer! Our (hopefully) last light iteration was put up last week to finish out flower but I’m not sure the impact they will have for this grow but we’ve learned a lot. I’m starting to get prepared for the next grow so that we can put new seeds in the same night we chop these girls down.
Growing bag seed for the first grow so we don’t really know what strains are coming but they are really showing their own characteristics. Got 3 plants in the canopy picture. The one up front is named “Snow White” and showing a lot of purple and we think it might be a GDP (grand daddy purple) while we are thinking the back left (named “Goldilocks”) might be a Pineapple Kush. Really can’t figure out what the back right might be (named “Sleeping Beauty” because she was planted late and was always smaller) but she is frosty and really has turned out to be my favorite looking one. If y’all have any thoughts on what these look like I’d love to hear them.
As far as the lights go I’m running two quantum board lamps that I have dialed in to 110W each that run for the full 12 hours with a 5x COB lamp that draws 230W that only runs for 8 hours. I’m doing this for heat reasons and for my own theory on lighting from what I’ve learned by nerding out on some botany websites. Finally we have 2 far red pucks that come on during the first and last 3 hours plus 15 minutes after lights out (more nerding theory). Heat has kind of been an issue. Been topping out at around 86F when all three lights are on but not really seeing any signs of stress. Figured I could always increase the humidity if it becomes a problem (staying around 40% during end of flower).
Snow White is looking like she might be done before the others looking at her pistils but the trichomes are still mostly clear. 10/16 will be 60 days into flower so nute schedule is following that timeline (including flush). Ideally everyone is ready at the same time so we can do a 72 hour dark period before harvest. Not really sure what to expect as far as yield because so much has changed during this grow but I’m hoping I’ll have enough to last me till next harvest which will be autos.
Hope y’all enjoy the pictures. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of more questions as I enter the ever-critical harvest/dry/cure period but I’d like to thank everyone that has helped me along the way. This forum and its members have been critical to whatever success I may have with this hobby. I truly am standing on your shoulders.
