About as exciting as watching grass, fim looks good. Dialed in for the low temp i got, 25° is the high

Hmmm… starting to get a little concerned. It’s almost mid-March and I have kind of a hard internal deadline to finish these up b4 June 1st (Heat in tent by then) I may defol and flip on the 15th or so to ensure that happens. They’re averaging ~16”-18” from soil right now. I like to flip at 22”-24” but we’ll see what another week brings. I just raised the intensity to 100% on the MH, not sure if it will matter in veg, but what the hey right?
Windowsill grow tally: 2 female and 1 male Waziri repros, 1 female Tirah repro. The Tirah female already towers over the others, wants to be 15’ high like her mom lol
I like the male Waziri repro, so may keep him around long enough for him to bust a nut and collect his pollen for future reference.

Was getting this late day wilt that turned out to be a phosporous deficiency, fed them some Big Bloom to boost it. Trimmed the bottom of the fim and started 2 clones because i hate tossing cuttings, hope its female. Fimmed one, topped one and left the shortest one alone. Added another 100 watts to widen the lighting.

Just curious… but what in that photo pointed you to a phosphorus deficiency? I just thought she looked thirsty. Lol

Lol, purple stems, slight clawing, that dark green color and the wilt was not due to watering. Plus it got better with a splash of 0.0 0.5 0.7.
Edit: to go a little deeper, i eliminated a watering problem since the wilt went away each morning so that left lights or nutes. Never used led’s before, usually flourescents for veg or metal halide way back when. So i kept the lights turned downand still got late afternoon wilt. Immediate thought was nitrogen from the early yellowing which is gone now from a foliar feed with Growbig 6-4-4. Did a google search and came on this

Nice little article and your deductive reasoning during your troubleshooting impressive.Lol, purple stems, slight clawing, that dark green color and the wilt was not due to watering. Plus it got better with a splash of 0.0 0.5 0.7.

Topped

Thinking the fim will need a semi schwazze when flipped.

Rounding out nicely!

Thanks, gave them a two quart feeding of grow big and big bloom two days ago, 1200 ppm but what surprised me was the tap water was close to 8, the nutes in particular the grow big dropped the pH to 6.5.Rounding out nicely!

Can’t decide to flip or do a heavy defoliation?
started some lst with wire on the lower branches that probably should be cut.

Hmmm.. decision, decisions lol
They sure do look healthy with a nice internode structure! If your just watch’n anyway, with no time restrictions… I’d keep training and let them go a bit longer and get that defoliation in you were talking about myself. I can’t really tell what height your girls have right now, but I generally like to flip 22”-24” from soil given my tent restrictions. My own girls got flipped on March 15th so they’d hopefully finish by June 1st, most were a couple inches short of those standards but thats why they call them restrictions lol My 2-week stretch currently has the tallest cola of the bunch @ 34” from soil… up, up and away!

@Poco56 you got the jungle going for sure. I defoliated some, the phosphorous deficiency is gone, looks like both clones made it, life is good in Massachusetts
The led’s are still a problem. I started another thread because one doesn’t shut off completely. Got other lights but i’d like to know where the trickle of power is coming from.

@Kerowacked… Now those look like some real sweet healthy ladies! Congratulations on the clones too. I’m not a clone guy to date so I can appreciate when someone else gets it! Lol
Are you going to flower indoors too or put them outdoors for continued growth? I can’t help you on the LED question, to date I’ve been an HID bigot, but this is my last indoor using only HID. I’m becoming a convert via National Grid Kw rates. Btw… I’d rather think of my own indoor grow at that previous 2 week mark as comically “organized chaos“ instead of jungle. Lol Completed their 21st day defoliation, fed and looking pretty good today at 23 days… Not as tall as I’d normally like, but again June 1st is a restrictive hard target date.

Just flipped mine but unfortunately I may have to scrap this run . I found the load limit of my room and not satisfied. Have an electrician coming in so I may be back to square one. Going to get the outdoor starts going incase i wrap it sooner than later. No problems to this point power wise but not sure i want to see them through at half power. I had my lights turned up without issues when i set room up,but apparently my test wasnt long enough or atleast I didn’t have enough stuff kicking on at once to see true capacity. Oh well stuff happens we’ll see

Dialing in a… what I would consider a dream room like yours with those (2) sweet HLG Scorpion Diablo lights can definitely be an overwhelming challenge till you can dial in a grow or two (1300 true watts collectively b4 supporting air flow considerations.) Let’s face it, your lights are top of the line lighting, but let’s not forget those girls look rock solid right now too imo. Maybe just dim those sweet lights down a tad to finish veg or think about your shutting down (1/2) lights and take what you can wattage wise across the finish line… just think‘n out loud.
Good luck my man, however it works out for you.
