Multi strain coirganics and handwatered

Yeah the vert space shot up like crazy between 1 and 2 weeks, tallest plant is 5'. I think the plants look really nice back there,
but anytime I try something new I am a bit skeptical.

I love love love the LED. The tallest top on BTK is only about 6" away, and it is not burning! I noticed that most of the plants
were showing slight deficiency symptoms mid second week, so I started using the general organics biothrive bloom at a rate of 5mL
per gallon. That strength gets the water pH to 6.5, so its a win win. I'm going to add a bit of epsom salt from here on out,
they love the extra magnesium and sulfur. Shows just how hard these plants are being pushed when my "water only" soil mix isn't
enough from the second week on lol. I'm jaw dropped on both of the tubs as well man, every day I go in there, so much fresh new
growth. The leaves are very much a "V" shape also, just reaching toward the light.

Indiana,
Mighty, MIGHTY nice, mang. Using the Brer Rabbit bottle for size reference is a nice touch. When are you going to invite me over? -granger
 
Everything is still chugging along at a fine pace. :tiphat:

Got some new strains in flower, I will get some more pictures after the weekend.

Here's one of them, a f2 of outlaw genetics pre 98 bubba kush x double purple doja, she's 2 weeks in and already has purple calyxes.

Got a few pictures last night before the camera died. These are 1 day short of 5 weeks.

Luna has quite a bit of purpling starting to happen.

Sour bubble cross is starting to smell like grape bubble gum.

Had more time, patience, and battery with the camera. These are much better photographs.

First up is banana.

Next, BTK kush. Second shot shows the whole plant. This plant is under a LED, it gets no light from the CMH.

Ukulele, she's a fatty for five weeks.

Vanilluna, you really get an idea of the length of her colas in the second shot even though the plant was shaking pretty badly from the grow room fan.

plants are starting to color up nicely at 6 weeks, especially the ones under LED. some swelling starting to happen as well, ahead of normal schedule. i've always heard about how the right spectrum of led will make plants flower more quickly, and my observations seem to be in line with that.

luna, btk, agent orange, and ukulele came down tonight, marathon trimming tomorrow.

shit looks killer, except for some burned buds of agent where they flopped into the bare vertical bulb.

The Luna looks extra frosty, really great looking. The whole space looks vibrant and healthy, super super nice.

IMO/IME: The constant IR promotes a higher baseline level of flowering hormone, overall. It builds up faster at night, and it's lowest level during "lights on" is higher than with out the IR. I notice budding onset much more quickly, along with faster maturation. The 660/730 balance seems to be correct.

What kind of temps are you experiencing? I have to add heat soon to keep the plants metabolism moving, the light does not radiate enough heat.
 
in the space with 2x400 and 2 LEDs, typically high 70s to low 80s, the other room with all the tents stays the same. my veg tent has a 250w MH conversion bulb and 4xt8 fluorescents burning 24/7, so it keeps my temps a little more stable in that room. i checked the other room and it dipped to ~65 during the night.
