Winter solstice flip

Welcome to my journal its getting to the stage where there's something to start commenting on. Your comments are welcome.IMG_20210108_205744.jpg
If you want to drag me over the coals am here to take it. this experiment is on a low wattage per plant as previously have found 2 x 600 HPS far to much for the area. Now its on app 11 watts per plant of LED. 480 watts total
with the lights 3 foot off the canopy for the last 4 weeks am still having problems getting any stretch and there seems to be no drop off at the edges
doing a nute change tomorrow going onto bloom
Not so much leaf removed tonight still took 40 mins to sort them out

Nutrient change over complete on Bloom now.
Got that down to 11 trips up and down the stairs cooking my breakfast porridge at the same time, nothing like a bit of multi tasking. Takes about twenty five minutes. Porridge is quicker about 7 mins of nuking time.
There's a good lot of root in the system too when I switch on the pumps the roots are holding around 15 litres of water
 
Buds are starting to build not so much leaf taken off tonite. with the nute change this morning start of with under nute E.c and did a small top up to get E.C levels right. prefer to start of lower ad top up to get it rightIMG_20210109_210548_3.jpg

still dialling in with this new nutrient had to top up with water to bring E.C. down a bit was 20/22 on truncheon
flowers developing nicely no real difference from HPS as far as i can tell apart from leaves look much nicer and far less light stressed.
leaf removal is getting less though it still wont stop for a whileIMG_20210111_205329_3.jpg

Heads popping up all over now. There will be a weeks difference between some of the plants finishing times even though they are all the same strain. You can see how advanced some are compared to others I also get two varieties from this one strain which is handy.
still quite a bit of leaf coming offIMG_20210114_205912_2.jpgIMG_20210114_205827.jpgIMG_20210114_205931_3.jpg
 
from the least advanced to the furthest plus tonight's leafage.
Love the length of these trichome's they never got as long as these under HPSIMG_20210115_203301_3.jpgIMG_20210115_203245_3.jpg

As am using a low light regime so did a light map gives an idea of what am getting lumens wise with blinds down and up
plus an update on what the area looks likeIMG_20210117_205411light map.jpgIMG_20210117_205508_3.jpgIMG_20210117_205411light map.jpg
 
Stretch phase virtually over now. HIMG_20210118_213551_325.jpgave dropped the lights down to 23 inches from most of the plants, there still drinking 10 litres a night plants are not going to be that big but more than happy with the amount of bud forming
will re do the light map tomorrow
