Hi Guitar Riff!

I'd whack her on 12/12 now... Save yourself a bit of electric money. :oik!:

She looks ready to go, if the auto gene is non dominant in her then you'll still be scratching your head at xmas with a nice tree to hang your baubles on.

:oik!:

Ok so I bought some low nitro feed. Flushed her through and then started with the new feed. Changed to 12/12
She looks happy.
I noticed some of her roots are poking up out of the soil and she has outgrown her pot. Is it ok to repot her at this stage. If I’m careful.

The bulbs your using your losing alot of light leaving the plastic round globe on, i use them myself, maybe look at popping the glass globe off, they make for a much stronger light , the plastic globe is only glued on flimsy and pops off pretty easily. I know and seen 1 or 2 peeps use them in the way i mentioned as well. Also look at getting some red 2700k in their alongside or maybe swap out some of the 5000k for 2700k in the coming weeks now you flipped to bloom for bigger fatter buddage.

Just an update
So she’s still growing bigger. Smelling stronger.
I’ve attached a couple of pics
Feeding her the lower nitrogen feed and 12/12



Do these pics look as if there are buds imminent please?

Also, this little one is a clone from one of her cuttings

Hi thanks for that. We looked up the total lumins required and adjusted the total number of bulbs to provide the necessary.
So much conflicting advice out there which is why I decided to come here and speak to the guys who know

Lumens mean squat to plants mate it`s the PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) rating your wanting to be looking at, plants know about that is and use it if that makes sense

Also looking at using different light wavelengths to create summink as close to sunlight as you can mixing light between the range of 400 to 700nm hence why you need some different Kelvin rated light in their, more a higher K for veg (which is where your at now) and alot lower for flowering (2700k), mix and match them but with more 2700k now your on 12/12 bloom, cus you still need blue light and owt inbetween :)

Hi guys
Do you think she’s looking any better?

Any sign of budding yet?

From what I can see, she's much better.

Loads better but can't see close enough for buds

Hi is this any better?





By contrast, her clone which I just keep on a windowsill is definitely doing something
