Hello all I'm New to this RDWC side of things but here is my setup a 5x5x 6/5 with 600 watt led . 4 bucket (8 gal.) with reservoir (15 gal.) outside the tent . 400 gal per hour external pump , My basement temps will be running around 62f during the winter Tent temps expected with lights on...
I think this was the article I was kind of following the light situation in the begining... I guess my plants being so mature the 30minute changes wouldn't apply . I appreciate all the replies . Looks like I'll hold them Until June 1 that's three weeks before the longest day of the year ...
So I guess at this point I will top them again trim little and hold them in this veg state .. harden them up last two weeks of May put in Ground June 1. Anyone disagree with this ?
I see what you mean .. I can turn light down some and trim them until I put them out June 1 what Im getting from this is I should be ok If I trim little keep them in tent until then and put the ground June 1 ? Would I keep same light schedule or go more or less ?
Keeping them pruned up for airflow and tops from suffering light damage might be my best option on this that or the Garage until then . Was really hoping to hear from some that have already encountered this .. I do appreciate all replies so far .. some great suggestions .
I could trim them like...
My big concern is they are outgrowing my tent .. I may have to move to garage since weather is warming up . My sole intent was to have some huge strong healthy plants during the prime growing season here .. maybe I started to early seems like anyways ..
I have a Garage I could put them in at night and set them out during the day .. there in 7 gallon pots at the moment would I be better off to keep them portable right up until harvest ? Go bigger pots ? decsions decsions
I think Its going to be like 14.5 hours easy maybe 15 before total darkness ... so whats my options now .. Im at a point I can cut my losses and start again and have four plants ready in 3 weeks but I sure hate toss these but dont want to miss my outdoor grow season .
Location Virginia Southern .. So anything less than what they are used to will trigger the flowering? I was counting on the 12 hours or less to do that ..whats my options now ?
I have my plants 3 Months old 4.5 feet tall at this point. (OG Kush) Out growing my 5x5 tent I always had planned on transplanting outdoors from the beginning. My Concern is I have always from day one Used a 16 on 8 hour off light schedule. Hoping to be pretty close to the natural light...
