Photoperiod DogterB’s 3x3: First Run

[St. Tom]

i cant wait to see that net full up and congrats again on your exam result

Your leaves are folding up slightly. Thinking your light might be turned up a bit much in veg? These new LED/QB’s are blasters.
( I just fried a couple plants)

Hmm, maybe? I’ve been using the Photone app and it says ppfd is 480 at the canopy. For veg, between 400-600 is what to shoot for, right? Thanks!

Yes. Each cultivar is different though, so if you notice a little curling, very tips of new growth bleached, or thinning of leaves, don’t worry about backing it down. You are going to fill that space very soon!
(Pure bro-science…lol)

Day 39

Cleaned up a lot of the undergrowth below the net this past weekend. Thinking of flipping her this weekend. I need to get her into flower so she can finish up in time for graduation. I also added some Bacillus amyloliquefaciens to the res, and some labs. I took these pics this morning, will try to remember to add some post-tuck pics tonight when I get in there.

Thank you! And thanks for the advice to turn down my light. I’ve got it under 50% now and she’s giving me a little more stretch to work with and manipulate

These new lights are super powerful and many of these cultivars were grown/selected using less intense light. We learn together!! Been growing for many years, and just recently fried a few leaves. The tinkering/retooling is all part of the fun!

Day 23

Here you go! I started her LST. Started a little late but it is what it is. I realized my net was going to sit too low to get under it from the side windows, so I used a crate to raise it a bit. Which also meant I had to raise the water level control bucket. She got some burnt edges on the lowest leaves, but I think she hit the hotter soil a little hard and has gotten past it.

I had to reorganize the tent to make it work but she’s set now. When I pulled the pot to move stuff, roots are already coming out of the bottom! I went ahead and gave her a good soaking, then filled her reservoir to start the auto-watering. In the big res outside of the tent, I’m going to try an air stone in there, run it 15 min every few hours or so. Thanks for stopping by and for all the love everyone!! And happy Sunday!View attachment 1558276View attachment 1558277View attachment 1558278
