Ya so this is the beginning of week 6 I'm using coco trying a new lighting schedule and this is only my second grow so let me know
Looks fantastic bro! What day that on? Grow set up? Also looks like some burnt tips ? Nite burn or Might just be yellowing toward end of flower? Either way buds look super! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
The only light schedule that works during the flower cycle is 12 on/12off. If you're screwing around with hours of lighting, you're going to make your plant produce seeds. Your problem is not in the light schedule is that you don't have enough wattage to get your plant to grow big and strong like it should. By looking at your buds which are sort of thinly spaced and not very large at this point in the cycle, it tells me that either your light is too far away from the plant...which happens a lot because people starting out try to flower too many plants with a light that can't handle it and keep it too far away, or you simply don't have enough wattage/proper spectrum to get the plant to produce. Disclaimer: Please don't take anything I say here as a slur or putting you down. I'm certainly not the God of growers and am far from knowing everything, just stating facts. Basically, with the indoor grow, the flower lighting you have is the most important thing you own. However, a single lamp can realistically only cover so many plants without robbing light from them. If you are forced to raise your light away from your plants just to cover all of them, you're running too many plants. We use 1000 watt HPS for flowering but only run 2 plants per light. This gives each plant all the space it needs to spread open and light to penetrate the canopy so lower buds can develop out too. Any light is only going to penetrate so far so we trim up our plants pretty big up the stalk because what doesn't get light will not develop out. Do your pruning during veg since some strains are pretty easily stressed and can't take pruning in flower. You can do it, you just have to know when and how. But new growers need to stay away from doing any pruning during flower until they get a better understanding of the plant/strain they're dealing with. Find a good source and read up on the plant, how it grows, what it needs during it's stages of life and about the indoor grow setup, lighting, how to take care of the plant the right way and keep it healthy. The more you know about what you're attempting to do here, the better outcome you'll get. But lighting is the one thing that an indoor grow cannot be successful without. Better lighting gets you better buds and more of them. Happy growing!! TWW
What's your new lighting schedule you mentioned. What lights are you using, nutes, and your feeding schedule?
Thx bro I'm using coco I'm growing White Russian mostly and I have 1600 watts hps in there right now also using sensi coco bloom right now part A and B and cal mag. Lol ya I burnt them a tad bit on the feeding awhile ago but I cut it back and there in pots that I'm doing wet dry cycle with hand watering
I have to disagree with the 12/12 is the only light cycle that works my close friend that has been growing for years recommended me to do this cycle I have now and his buds don't come out with seeds and I have 1600 watts hps in that room... but thanks for the feedback I appreciate it all
Hey I feed every watering and the light cycle is this Weeks 1-2: Set your timer for 11 hours on and 13 hours off. Weeks 3-4: Set your timer for 10.5 hours on and 13.5 hours off. Weeks 5-6: Set timers on for 10 hours and off for 14 hours. Weeks 7-8: 9.5 hours on and 14.5 hours off. Week 9: set timers to 9 hours on and 15 hours off. this is the final week of flowering and you should be “flushing” your plants to remove all chemicals and nutrients from the
Are you letting your coco dry out before you feed? Like soil? Not a good idea. Although your buds look tasty they don't look that large for having 1600w of light. 42 days of flower.
Ya I know but it's a lot of work to waterevery day or every other day I'm hand watering and it's not just a few of them I'm going to ebb and flow tables next time no more coco. My last grow buds where bigger but I was watering everyday but they where in a different set up where I didn't have to deal with run off and wasent hand watering ♂️
Thanks. I grow in coco. This was my last grow - 2 plants of Nirvana Ice - I yielded a little over a pound.
Very nice bro lol I'm no expert I'm just starting but ya I'm switching to 4x8 ebb and flow tables coco is cool if you just have a couple plants but if you have 20 or 30 it's a lot of work
