Week 7 - Bloom - Razzberry #8

[Gjourney101]

Enjoy some pictures.

Week 7 of 9 (Maybe even 10)

Pistils are starting to color in, buds are swelling, and she is taking her time. No problems and she's happy.

No rush!

Schedule thus far:

- 2 gallons every 3-4 days
- Recharge Tea every watering
- 1-32-30 every 3rd watering (diluted)

Just listening to her as she goes.

Happy

She stretched a lot hey. Its a real struggle to fill the buds in nicely when that happens but they are looking very healthy so your on the right path.

Bluey hey I'm glad someone recognizes my struggles with the stacking. My light is pretty prohibiting on intensity and I still haven't been able to get them arm size buds, spacing has been unfortunate. New genetics and a better setup next run!

I've had that happen to me even with heaps of light but had an issue moving them out of the veg tent in time and into the flower room. Still good producers though, just don't photograph as well as I would have liked.

300w seems like a lot for a 2x2x4. What sort of new setup were you thinking? I'd look at under canopy lighting too. Plenty of cheap outdoor floodlights that would do the job nicely.

Bluey The 300W isn't true wattage; actually, this light was some Chinese manufactured "indoor plant light" that I got for around 110$ when I first started growing.

Next grow, Id light to get a 4x4 or 5x5, and have an LED with UV and PPFD readings of 600-900. Id really like my light to match the size of my tent, I find that oblong and rectangle shaped lights stress me out more than the plant. Dimmable would be preferred too.

I've been looking into AC infinity as well (primarily for their Temp/Humidity/Remote control)

Lights next grow will be a huge deal for me.

Next in line would be information instruments and Temp/Humidity control.

Last would be new seeds/genetics - not sure who is truly reputable as I've only grabbed local genetics. I'd like to reach further into the gene pool

If you stick to growing autos you can use a less powerful light and save dollars on your power bill too. Incidental light does not become a problem with them either and heat, the environment, is easier to manage.

Your biggest issue is your light guessing from the pics.

I use both Spiderfarmer and MarsHydro and homemade stuff. Either way the bar style lights are superior rather than the quantum boards. Keep an eye out on the manufacturers websites for sales and use a code, you'll save a heap. They both sell complete kits. I'm using spiderfarmer but the AC infinity look to be probably the best off the shelf setup. MarsHydro are also good. You can get fully automated stuff re lighting and environment nowdays rather than having to make your own automation.
