So here's the DK at Day 16 of Bloom. Sorry my numbers are kinda criss crossed. I forgot to subtract the 4 or so days she took to show full blown pistils off of my flowering time. Either way she's just starting Week 2 of heavy bloom? Flowers are stacking up pretty nicely. I don't remember her being an above average yielder, but the quality of the smoke is what I'm crazy about! Just something about the high....VERY intense. 'Tis a shame I dont know what she is...I can't give anyone but myself any credit :/ Nywayz, trichomes are coming on nicely! She's been very thirsty this week. I'm still not used to seeing a gallon of water in a 5 gallon bucket disappear...I've done 3gallon buckets and totes, but the 5 gallons are somewhere in the middle. I like to be able to eyeball how much water she's drank roughly, but I'd guess almost 1/2 gallon a day is what she's been drinking thusfar. I restocked my nutrient supply! This Sunday is my usual weekly rez change and she's getting her first shot of full-strength nutez. The batch I gave her last Sunday was about 70% strength and she seemed to dig it. I'm really liking this less is more thing I've been doing also, but I wanna get to KNOW my strains as opposed to drowning them in nutes and prayin ya dig? I only give her nutes on rez change days and just fill her bucket with ph'd water maybe 2x a week (3x if she's drinking heavy) and let her go. I'm not wasting hardly any nutes at all with the current feeding schedule and she's never ran out of nutes either so I guess it works out in the end....good to tha last drop
There may be a name for the above method, but even veteran growers learn something new every grow I would say so I dont feel like a complete newb lulz. Her canopy is very thick, but her main limbs and bud sites remain dominant and the other stuff is JUST below them so they're definately not shaded out. I made sure they either would or would not survive....waste not want not and so forth. Just for the record--> Smoked a blunt with the wife and 2 close friends...was a mix of WoWo, BL, Mazar, Blackberry Kush, and some shit called the Golden Dream? Either way....I'm pretty blitzed outta my skull right now

On a different subject....I NEED OPINIONS DAMMIT!! When my 600w setup finally gets here I have to swap out the 400w with the 600w. However, I dont have a reflector for said 600watter :/ I'm not tripping bout the no reflector part...but I do and need to know which would be better. Hanging the bulb horizontal with the coolglass and ventilation OR hanging it vertical with the coolglass above the plants?? My first guess was to hang it horizontal and try to find a makeshift reflector, BUT 600w is a shitload of lumens for a 3x3x6 tent no matter which way you look at it. And so RIU, please drown me with your opinions!! Puhleeeease
