This is the type of Jynx I spoke about a little bit ago.. If your like me you don't mean it.. You will try and try untill you get it setup the way you want it.. And all this adversity only makes your determination more concrete.. You just need to give it a bit cause your still hot about the Jesus's..
I'm just waiting for the drivers to get here... I'm not quitting anything... Yeah, I was pissed at that time, but I'm cool now...

Little update. Got home and plants looked a little “eh”, and I noticed one of the back plants had a few leaves/smaller branches wilted. Picked up the pot, and it was dry sure enough. I watered like 3 days ago, but I’m wondering now if I’m under watering chronically. Anyway, gave all the pots a watering until I started getting some runoff — took 3 gallons between the 5 plants.

I am in 12/12 now, 3rd day or so. I just decreased the height of my lights from about 30 to 24 inches. PPFD in dead center was around 920 (saw 1050 ppm display for a brief second). Anyway, I’m really nervous having these lights that low, and I just wanted to get some reassurance. For the record, I am running 4x QB 288 Rspec boards on 2 HLG 2100 amp drivers. Really scared the plants will get fried. I’m pulling about 533 watts from the wall.
What do you guys think?

Right before lights out.

You should be fine!
Some plants like the full dry cycle but some don’t like drying down too far. It’s important to “read” your plants. I find that some plants don’t even like cloth pots because they dry out too fast. Others explode in that environment.

Yeah still leaning myself. So you don’t think that (considering the lights I’m using) that “24 above canopy is too close? I’m scared because I’ve never really pushed my plants with light — early on I tried seedlings under these QBs, and even 41” above canopy it blasted them. Granted, those were seedlings

Looking delicious man! How far along are they in 12/12? My OCxCD are purpling up nicely and look really similar to yours.
Lo idk I don’t keep dates. She’ll be ready she’s ready. I’m guessing that photo was around early 8 weeks?

Anyways, here’s a sample nug I clipped a few days ago, hoping to try it after work today. Mine is purpling up a bit too! Really fading out dark now too, the leaves look pretty.

Definitely ok, I would watch their response but it should be fine.
Was leery at work today, wondering if I was gonna come home to crispy plants. Luckily you were right - they’re just fine. Here’s a quick update:

I think they may actually be enjoying the additional light. Hope these turn out nice... didn’t put nearly as much time or effort into filling up my space or doing any training this grow. TBH, not trying to crush any efficiency or yield records, just trying to have enough smoke for my wife and I to last til the next one!

Edit: Forgot to mention (since I’m in the Useful Seeds thread after all) that the beautiful, healthy plant smack dab in the middle of the tent is Useful’s Chocolate Diesel. IMO, probably the best looking plant in the tent. Who knows, maybe I’ll do an all Useful grow next go around.
