Hydroponic Research Veg-Bloom and +Life, this grow currently 554 ppm is all ai 32 days old, the last picture of #1 I have the main stem bound and pulled over to the right, opening up the middle. As they stretch it is my intention to bind them to the grid, forcing them to grow horizontally.

These girls are fantastic, with no time to train really, I can bend them, bond them and trim a leaf here and there. They only theoretically have a little over 5 weeks left 70 days+/- they are 33 days old today.

jusr trimmed a few leaves from #3

 

[dochickory]

a little LST for #2 today

 

[dochickory]

Looked and looked, still looking for 1” mini levelers 11” wide has been the problem, maybe I can special order, everybody seems to have a 12” minimum because of the lift cord, which effects the tilt wand blah, blah blah. I made a prototype from yard sticks. Just like a sunny afternoon on Lani-Kai. Well maybe not just like it. Aloha!

 

[dochickory]

The girls are 35 days Old today all seems well, so far. Sister #1 behind the mini blind, then 2 shots of 2 and 3 respectfully, #2 is responding nicely to the bonding, and the secondary branches waist no time reacting to, the increase in light, still around 514 ppm I’ve been adding a gallon of pre mix solution every other day. Thinking of tweaking up the ppm

Well Scrog, bog. or sog whatever you want to do, there really isn’t time, these girls are putting flowers everywhere. I’m doing a lot of bending to get the light down in, trimming some large leaves, probably not enough though.

Sister #1 down there has been wide open ever since first bending her over. Now she’s getting thick on top and filling in below, or should I say beside?

This is what’s below deck the root chambers are a little below deck, what you see in the hole is the top of the root chamber, that holds the rockwool net pot since seed. The bucket in the foreground is the solution reservoir

Why go through all the trouble of building a set up like that and use blurple lights?

 

[dochickory]

I am ready for an upgrade, haven’t used this system in 5 years, might disassemble it, might not, I’m looking hard at that 300w This one GWE touts, wide spectrum w/lots of rar red, really want a panel with good LED diodes Cree or something top bin Mine have been excellent. But ya Too much blue, flower settings too!, But that hasn’t stopped her from flowering . About a month left girls are 40 days old today.

Lots of bending going on, above certain nodes on the stem they remain very pliable, like bamboo really. Anyway this is where the grid comes in very handy. Every newly exposed Bud site takes off immediately. BTW I’m at 745 ppm little hot after adding a new gallon of solution. They have been drinking about a gallon every two days now. With my newly installed AC Infinity 4” exhaust fan, I don’t even realize the humidity. I can’t say enough good things about the performance of the infinity exhaust fan.

Impressive set-up, but what's the deal with the pink/purple pics? sorry I'm a noob.

I thought you are using those grids for Scrog! What is the point of thaving it if you are tying them

Not really a Scrog or sog just LST low stress training to keep the cola distance about 12” from the LED panels. I need the strong grid because combined pulling on these branches, adds up and needs steady attachments everywhere. I think with Auto flower bending with no. Cutting or serious damage is better, less interruption of energy, since they are in flower mode since day one. They seem to be doing fine.

the last picture is of the roots in the chamber using an endoscopic camera. I have a short 36 sec clip, including the mist cycle going off.

Old school LED panels, too much blue and not enough far red for optimum flowering (information duJoir) I’m do for an upgrade.

She’s really pushing flowers, and I’m just 2 days away from getting the secret supplements……and about 3 weeks to go.
