Side lighting

For me it follows container size roughly if I do my part. I'm in ffof soil with bottle nutes. So for 2 gal pots 2 ounces is about right. 3 gal pots 3 ounces and so on and so forth. Now hydroponics changes everything. I've gotten over a pound in a 3x3 with a recirculating dwc that I made. Coco around 30% more than soil roughly. As always ymmv. I run either cobs or Samsung boards for lighting BTW.

Interesting. I've seen a huge difference in yield as pot size changes but never seen the numbers on it.

Yeh, hydro's very different.

That's the "growing" part but "old" at 52? Hah!

I bet you had to climb that on the way to and from then, huh? Lol

Another week down. Got the top light ramped up to 100 and side lighting up to 60%. I got 1000+ par to the tops. The sides have 1000+ also right now.

So in your experience, what's the tell tale, that you hit the light saturation point.

Apologies for the late reply…

When I see leaves taco/canoe. I suspect that leaves that are praying at a high angle are on the cusp.

Little update for everyone following along. Plants are chugging along nicely. Right now they drink a whopping 1+ gallons of nutrients each a day through the wicking bases.

On the left, mindfuck, I'm finding this strain really good for the side light experiment. The buds seem to be filling out nicely on par with the tops.

On the right, Hollywood, it's not the same case. Possibly because it stretches much more but I'm just not seeing the same bud formation as the mindfuck. But the top of the Hollywood is blowing up.

Side lights are at 70% now. Top light is maxed out. We're in exciting times

Not a whole lot has changed this week. I'm mostly seeing everything tighten up. Not a whole lot of bulking.

On a side note. Popped some beans from nasc 420 sale. Picked up in house genetics bananna split and in house genetics apple tart x platinum og. I also got a 5 dollar bean of dirty bird mamasita and a random freebie purple root beer float. Some will be going outside some for my next run indoor. Probably just a full run of in house genetics indoor and the rest outside.

Update time. Everything is growing great. Starting to see some nice fatties growing from the side lights. Hoping over the next 2 weeks we really see some changes. Swapped out athena core for athena fade because we're on the tail end of this thing.
