First grow ever 22 LEDs drip feed build and journal

Please explain how you get in to work on them and put them on buckets etc. I can't see how you could even trim them.
I'm wall to wall trellised x3 layers but it starts 3'6" off the ground so i crawl around & access from below if needed or pop trellis off the side & slither up. There's pockets on the ends for me to work too.
But i was wondering the same thing you are in this situation.
 
that sounds like pure hell
Is & isn't. Had the isle for a few yrs but now the isle fits 3 plants for an extra 3-4.5#'s. Shouldn't need to touch them all the time anyway's, ya know & ill trade the weight for hassle.
This guy has wheels on the trays i think. But if trellised that's not helping.
 
20+ inches away from lights, currently at about 850ppf. Co2 is 1500ppm since day 1 of flowering
whats the best distance from the canopy for even coverage with these 650s? they look pretty damn good for only 850umols. I wonder how much better theyd look with 1000+.

I dont have a par meter but I just placed mine at ~15in after stretch.

Just read a thread about co2 levels. Talks about 850 ppm being kind of the cut off point for how useful it is.

I follow the Fluence guide, you can go on their site and download it, there’s some good research behind this guide and so far it works for me. LED has higher PAR than HID so you can pump more co2.

6-8 inches when they’re matured, but don’t take my word for it I’m a rookie. I’ll try it out on the next run and let you guys know
 
I flipped them on July 14th. You think there’s that much to go?
I personally don't think that much, maybe 2 weeks, it could toss white hairs for 4-6 more weeks I bet, but you risk bud rot if you leave them too long, those look to be pretty full dense flowers.

At least 3 weeks. They are barely throwing out pistils. The last few weeks of the cycle is when the calyxes swell the most and the buds dense up. If you chop early the buds will become airy after drying. Harvesting early is one of the most common mistakes IMO and the plants will reward you if you wait.
 
@canope , have you noticed any seeds? wanting to confirm if those calaxys are swollen without seeds, @NukaKola I agree with you but he does have a good amount of swell, depending on density of those, id be very concerned about rot pushing it 4 weeks - but then again that's just me.
