Chefbjy Dark Harvest Grow Challenge

[Chefbjy]

Dgth. Switched to hps today, going to get in there and do a little training and haircut when it's time for lights on. Raised the light a bit and will be setting the ballast to 1100 watts for the first time ever 😆. Was thinking of picking up a new bulb too. Top dressed bti, kelp meal, granulated humic acids, epson salt, roots organics uprising foundation and bloom, and rock phosphate 5 days before flowering started. Watered in and added molasses to today's watering. Will be brewing ewc tea soon. After haircut I'm adding de/silica/ipm to top soil, still having a gnat issue. Pics right after lights out and bulb change.

Looking great there. That is something I am going to do this time, staying mh longer. Your plants are looking really good.

 

[Chefbjy]

Thanks Redwasp. I like to keep it in till I feel comfortable with height or based on the plants ability to stretch 😉.

Chefbjy so you use a MH for the first 2 or 3 weeks of bloom ? never thought of that maybe cause I veg in separate rooms but what a great Idea and its definitely working, I have a MH thats just been sitting there unused Hmmm thanks for the idea lol

 

[Chefbjy]

oldjarhead100 yes I leave in the mh at the beginning of stretch to compensate for height. If they were smaller at flip I might have changed it sooner. But I like to keep my height contained with a short ceiling. I also run lights out temps a little warmer which helps as well. That mh isn't useless ojh, you can wipe the dust off if you need to keep your girls from bursting through the roof 😉. Warmer lights out temps really help as a combination to the mh for minimal stretch. ✌

The misfits are ripining really fast on 2 plants. The one I topped late seems to be around 2 weeks behind them. I will enter the 2 that are closer into the dark challenge. So what will it be? Who will get the extended dark period? The short ugly gal I didn't top train or trim? Or the plant I injured with the hog leg size colas? Poll is in and have time to wait for responses.

Tough call...stressed hog leg is gonna be frosty from the stressful flying elbow, how would one know what caused the extra frosty? The shorty maybe the one I would put in the dark. Just because i guess...lol
Gonna be hard to compare the 2. Different life events.
I can't wait to watch 👍😁

 

[Chefbjy]

Haha flying elbow...it didn't slow her down. But good point. They're the only 2 that are closest to harvesting at the same time. I have to let the late topper go a little longer.

 

[Trichomefarmer88]

I agree here, i pick short one myself.

 

[Chefbjy]

Going in the dark today. Short one for 24hrs and the one that took the flying elbow for 36 hours. 3rd plant needs more time.

 

[Californiakid]

Looks tasty 👍

 

[Redwasp]

They are looking very good. Nice one
