Hi Guys!
The grow is going awesome and the stretch is finally starting to slow down. One significant difference was that I changed hoods. I was running a 600w cool tube with little reflector wings coming off either side. I just went to a Sunlight Blockbuster air cooled square type reflector hood which covers a 4x4 area. Maybe it was just timing but....., once I switched out hoods it seems the stretching stopped immediately. I am still going to use the cool tube but only in the vegetation room.
I also spent the last week constructing another grow room (5ft x 10 ft x 7ft h) . Just took clones off of the above mentioned grow and they're under t-5's as of this morning.
The new room will be for vegetation and growing vegetables. All E&F, vegetable table is 3x3, lettuce table is 1x3, and new vegetation table is 2x2.
Lessons during this grow decreased the size of the veg table with a limit of 6 plants. This is the first time out with clones so I'm pretty excited. I'll let them veg until current grow is over (six more weeks) and then into the flowering room.
I hooked up a 5kw furnace and am circulating the air between the veg room and the flowering room (size 4ftx6ft). I will be adding timed 12" shutters and doing a fresh air exchange every hour. Just have to figure out how to insulate the shutters and make them air tight.....
I'll get some pics tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well!!!
