Time to show your grow.

I'm about to start 2 Bruce Banner autos i dunked the beans yesterday. Hopefully mine will come out as nice as yours
 
Suck when stuff like that happens. I was stuck raising up a couple of my plants off the floor to help level them out with some ones that got a bit out of control or stretchy. I had an un-even canopy.
 
Ticking along, right side has slowed down. I noticed a few lower leaves yellowing so have given Epsom salts for extra sulphur.
now that I'm using a reservoir and auto pots I have changed to phosphoric acid to lower ph, acetic acid was fine in a water through pot but not reccomend for this system.

dropinbiking well it’s only one plant out of 8, so it’s not the biggest problem. The other branches are doing fine in that height, because it’s in the middle of both lamps. But that one branch would have toasted all the trichomes maybe.
 
Yeah I agree, was a smart move forsure. Those bamboo stakes saved my ass on my outdoor grows, Tomato cages or bamboo, life savers. Looks like an awesome grow, I could go back and probably find out, but what size tent and lights?
 
I've had to do this. The bud branch will quickly start bending back up towards the light. I had to do it a few times to the same branches, ending up looking a bit like a roller coaster but it worked and kept them out of the lights until the stretch stopped.
 
Week 7 of flower and things are heading to what should be a good harvest. I may have left a few too many tops but I am always a little indecisive.
temps are 17 to 29C night day and RH between 30 to 45%. last watering of 2.5 gallons each 680ppm & 6.1ph. Runoff is only a little higher ppm. ph is good.
Gelato 41 Fast is showing some nice purple and according to the breeder can be ready in another week. I see more like 2 weeks left.
Blackberry Gum can be ready by 9 weeks but again I see a little more time needed to finish for my liking.
According to the PPP method I calculate a harvest of over a lb with these two plants. Maybe as much as 20 oz.

My tent is 2meterx3meterx2meter. Lights are lumatek attis 300w and a vipar R900, but the vipar is going to be thrown out soon. At last !
So height is not a problem at all. I can raise the light another 1,5 meter if I wanted too. But then I need to raise all other plants and no, it’s better just bending the branch.

Well Jeff my stretch was almost nothing to be honest. I would say I didn’t have a stretch at all. The plant was the highest through out the veg period. But I thought it will work when I moved the plant in between the lights. Let’s see if it’s going back up, I doubt it will. It’s already the heavy with the buds down the branch

Thrown out? That's nonsense, pass it off or pawn it off to a beginner grower, that's what I'm trying to do with my Vipar V300 and roleadro 600 right now. Ah okay The tent size makes it all make sense now. Can be tricky to get the scale of things in pictures sometimes.
 
So stoned - I didn’t even notice I posted that comment two times 🤣🤣.
Yea of course I’m selling it, what I meant by throwing it out 😅😅

Yea pictures don’t always tell the right size of things. I asked last year my wife to buy me a tent, and she bought the biggest she could find 🤷🏼‍♂️
 
Hope it works out well for you. My grow space is basically 4x6-8', depending on how many plants I have going, a bit larger than what your using now and my lighting is pretty strong during flowering so the small red bulbs didn't have much of a chance.
I have a ton of information on how to compare grow lights if you're interested... all about spectrum, PAR, PPFD, etc...how to chose what works best for a specific sized grow space.
I won't get into manufacturers but you can always look at reviews to get an idea of what folks think.
I'd only look at manufacturers who will provide you with a PPFD map at various mounting heights above the canopy_ its really the only way to determine how much PAR every sq. foot of your canopy will get.
Watts don't really tell you much, except how much power they draw. In most cases the more watts the more light, but light intensity can fall off pretty dramatically as it "fans" out from the area directly below the light path.
Some manufactures only provide spectrum and wattage, some also provide PAR output, but then that is relevant only directly below the light at a specific height. You really need a PPFD chart and map to see what's really going on. A PPFD chart for different mounting heights will also tell you how much penetration falloff there will be from the top of your canopy downwards into the plants. Happy growing!
