Time to get back to work down here... I have a 3-bucket undercurrent system in here. No control bucket in my setup, but I have an extra undrilled bucket so I can pull a plant out to enable better trimming and easier water changes. First step is gonna be another rinse to flush any h2o2 (or debris from h2o2 rinse) left in the chiller from before I shut the cab down a couple weeks ago. Then I'll mix up a new batch of soup and get the blues moved in!
Move up completed! Gonna be managing pH for a day or so since its all fresh soup. It's bouncing back up from being pH-downed pretty quick at the moment - gotta hit equilibrium... TDS currently at 600 (ec 1.2). They were at about 450 or so in the tent but were starting to look hungry (some leaves a little yellow from needing more N). Pretty happy with my recipe now! Figure I'll tie down rhe 8 mains tomorrow and get the lux dialed in where I want it.
We are rapidly approaching the finish line and a dark horse contender has emerged to challenge for the title. Don't know that this gal quite has the size to win, but that purple coloring is bound to get her some votes with the judges......
Full spectrum, ridiculously efficient LED lighting. (See my cab lamp a few posts back - #12421). They are AMAZING. Check out horticulturelightinggroup.com I know you've been in & out of my thread a bunch. My results with them are in this thread too, but a little easier to comb thru mine since there aren't the 12,000 posts this thread has hahaha
Tied down the 4 outer tips on each plant. I'll tie the inner ones tomorrow. Still thinking I'll be flip-ready next weekend...
About a week to go until first harvest on my outdoor plants, the purple coloring deepens every day and is really quite amazing to see in person. Its not new or unique in the cannabis world I know, but this is my first time having colors this eye catching & vivid and I find myself looking at them about 10 times a day. Its impossible to capture properly with a cell phone camera, but click on the pics to enlarge and get a pretty good idea.......
