Thanks Trap. I agree that it couldn't have come at a better time, I'm thinking I don't have too much longer until flowering starts, and I want to give them the best chance.The addition of the new LED is going to be just in time....they look to have a pretty good spread so far, and that light is going to kick flowering into overdrive.
Can't wait to see the progress once that's hung
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Goes to show you how hearty they are I guess.I think your ladies are looking real good
Thanks GMan, I wasn't sure how full it would get after I tried to behead Thing 2 but she has really surprised me in the last couple of days.
Nice nug shots man! She looks like she had some serious ooomph in the smoke, I'm sorry I missed that grow.
.: Day 35 :.
Still technically day 32 from germ, it's been a while since I mentioned it. Next grow I'll probably start counting when the seed breaks soil. This morning I woke up and decided to take Thing 1 out of bondage and see what she did so we'll see how that goes I suppose.
I decided to pull the top set of fan leaves from both of the girls in order to help with main cola development, the secondary and tertiary shoots nearing the top are not getting enough light to develop. I know this will set me back but in the end I think I'll be rewarded for it. I added a couple more rows both vertical and horizontal to the scrog net, and pulled both of the girls into a couple of new spots.
Thing 2 has designated a new stalk as her primary so I've started training that one toward the entrance of the tent to help with secondary growth, as well as to slow down the vertical growth since it is soaring above the others. Temp has been going from 25C-26C and the RH has been between 40%-45%.

Thanks man, and yeah definitely incredible density. There is a darker side to that density though, I am tripping all over myself trying to keep it spaced and make sure all the sites are getting as much light as possible. That's ultimately why I think Thing 2 will outperform Thing 1, the amount of light competition going on within Thing 1 is taking up a lot of tuck time each day. But all that said these two girls have taught me two nearly opposite lessons in growing characteristics so I couldn't be happier.

Looking awesome medi.
.: Day 36 :.
My new LED came in today!!!! When I got a better idea of the size and saw the thing turned on I instantly knew it wouldn't be sharing the tent with any other lights. It is bonkers bright, where before there were several darker spots around the tent there is now not a dark spot to be found, not even looking through the canopy to the soil! I plugged it into the existing setup where I have a load meter plugged in, and the timer plugged into the load meter, and it was going from around 175-180, I got a snapshot of 178. It's a 96 X 3w setup that has been attenuated to 2w, and they report it operates at between 170-190 so it's right on the money!! The first thing I was impressed by is how much more blue light it has compared to my UFO. My UFO appears very purple whereas this one has an almost daylight look that's tinged with purple.
Speaking of light I found out Saturday night when I woke up at 3 am that my light was on where it should be off from 12-4. Long story short I realized in the morning that some of the pins were not fully seated so I've been giving them 2 hours of sleep a day since the beginning.... Needless to say I fixed it and they're now on a 20/4 schedule I'd intended.
Thing 2, and to a lesser extent Thing 1 has started flowering, though only just in both cases. The next few days should be interesting between the new light, the extra penetration from leaf removal, and just where I am in the grow cycle. They ended up needing water late yesterday afternoon despite getting water on Saturday so I obliged. This time I gave them a quarter tsp of Dynagro, a half dose of Tigerbloom, and a normal dose of Sensizym since I noticed some hardening on the top of my soil(no idea what that's about). Anyway, that's what I've got, other than some pics of course. Hope you're all having a good grow day today!!
