Lighting Wild Bill's first med grow with CBD, THC/CBD and CBG girls under HLG DIABLO 650R and new HLG 200 Rspec

Thanks for keeping an eye out!
I'm doing this because they are my brothers. The VA is just crappy with their care and it's got drastically worse with the last administration change. That from my experience, other Vets and my civilian doctor. I spun him up about a month ago when I asked some things he requested for me. He let loose with quite the rant about how he can't get a damn thing from them for any of his Vets he cares for. He turned red with anger. I never knew he was that passionate for his Vets.
I'm doing a photo run in the next one and test the Dragon. I think those are regs and not femmed, so I'll be able to have a mom and maybe have some pollen to play with. I'll grow regs, femmed or autos. Any means to a solution.
Again, I appreciate the lookout!

No worries mate. If I can help you out I will .
All for the better good .

Info, itself, can be most valuable at times!

I'm so happy with RBF! She's not overly tall, yet she has those nice big phat leaves.
The topping took well, and her color is great.

That's a plant that wants to grow. Magic.

Yeah, I'm very pleased with her so far. She's very pretty. I think she's gonna have beautiful structure. I think moving her to the HLG light was a good move. I think she has responded to the less blue spectrum well. It will be interesting to see how she manages the hormones with the topping. Each plant reacts differently, and some more than others. Some react with sucker branching. I don't think she'll do that. All the girls could have been looking like her, if not for the gnats. Sticks in my craw! LOL!

I chose not to topp my other big girl, Sweet CBD. I really don't like to top past the 6th node and she's past that. She has an open a pretty symmetrical structure, although the last two nodes were asymmetrical. She had a fan but nothing for bud. A little odd, but a pretty girl.

Gave all girls a foliar spraying of MC Kelp and just a touch of aminos as a surfactant. I used .2g in the half gal.
I sprayed them at this time as a test. I sprayed the two small tents as they are going off cycle and the 4x4 coming on cycle. I just wanted to see if the kelp was light sensitive. With a liht dose and low ppfd, I doubed any problems.
I will be using more foliar spraying with 3 items in rotation.
Mega Crop Kelp
EM1..........bloomed
Expensive ass Aminos...........Expensive because it's GOOOOOOOD! It was a tiny bit I added to the half gal in the kelp spray. There was enough saponins in that tiny bit for it to lightly foam up, enough to act as a surfactant
It's one method I just haven't used on a regular basis.
The EM1 will be as a preventive and promote health. I use it in the rez once a week to keep it clean.

All right, in less than 48 hours both of the larger girls drain the rez which had 2,000 ml.
So around cycle change at 6:00 p.m., both big girls got another 2000 ml each and each one of the Juniors got 500 ml. The large regulars got 250 ml directly around the plant and 500 in the reservoir.
With Root Beer Float doing so well and barely exceeding 20 DLI, I upped one notch on the HLG light for right at 430 ppfd.
I'm going to leave the light in the 2x4 where it's at so I can germinate the 2o/20 testers.
With Vitamints really getting her legs underneath her, I'm also going to crank up the 4x4 tint one notch. I'll give you a couple of days and then turn it up one more.....maybe. with the Diablo light The notches are quite a step up. And I think Elephant will benefit quite a bit also.

That was late last night. I bumped yp the 4x4 light one notch to an avg of 455ppfd.

Just before lights out, small tent girls will get amino spray. Just a weak one at 1/2 teaspoon/gal. 4x4 will get it next.

Sweet CBD is a very open girl, so All I'm doing is leaf tucking. When she gets bigger, I'll clean up her bottom. With her efficient open structure, I want to keep as much surface area as possible. She is becoming a little busy at the top. I hope she keeps up with her good side branching. I didn't top her because of the open structure. Hopefully that's not a mistake for this girl. She may get tall without topping. Still very happy with her.
Jeno's Root Beer Float is making me very happy. She has responded very well to topping, tucking and the bumping the light up. She's got bud sites a poppin'!. Gonna do some more training with the adjustable trainers and clean up her bottom. She has MORE than enough leaves to make up for the cleanup. I kinda have a feeling she's gonna be a handful in training and feeding. A close eye on root intrusion into the nute bank will give me a good idea in about 7-10 days. I should have a fair idea on how big the flower nute topdress will need to be. With the rez being filled after the next dry period on both big girls, the full power of Earthboxes is about to kick in..

Gonna take pics tomorrow and give a few more details. Gonna pot up two 3gal RS bags and drop 3 of the Twenty20 G&S beans. I WAS going to pull up the Meph girl outta the Jr and put her in a 3gal bag, but she's showing a good comeback. I'll toss a coin to which gets two. The strain that is done twice will get the vacant Jr and a 3ga; pot. Should be an interesting comparison.

Topping Root Beer Float worked well. Those hormones are workin'!
I minimally cleaned up her bottom. I readjusted the past training and trained up to the second top most node.
She's gonna be pretty! While I was there. I gave another dose of BTI, wetted that in and sprinkled some bokashi on all the small tent girls.
Topping took well!

Very nice!

I plan on a RBF in the next grow.
