I gave the plants a “snip & tuck” this morning. I thought a few folks would want to see the Blue Haze straining against the netting restraint as though it is overly endowed
It is worth noting that the twine is strung very tightly so it does take some force to deflect it like that.
Of course they look a bit rough after being beaten up, snipped and tucked. They will be fine tomorrow and on Tuesday update they will be growing like crazy again.
That is the nicest Orchid flower that I have ever seen. Deep in the northwest forests we can sometimes find “lady slippers” which are a rare wildflower related to orchids, I believe.
Thank you @repins12, we are doing well. Keep yourself and your family safe and happy.
Yesterday I picked up soil for my next grow which will include at least one “Gary Auto”.
It is Tuesday again and time for an official update. Today marks one week since flipping to flower schedule. There are no explicit signs of flowering just yet. I expect to see pistil tufts to appear in the week or so. Since flipping I have performed two “snip and tuck” sessions. I may snip and tuck for the last time today. We will see how the plants grow to determine if there will be another tucking session.
The light level across the canopy varies from about 800 to 900. This what I run through veg and for the first 5 or 6 weeks for flower. At that point I will reduce it to 500 to 600.
I should also add that I move the plants around the room during the course if each daylight period so that all of the plants receive about the same DLI. At these light levels it likely makes no significant difference but that is what I do as it certainly does not hurt them to move them around. To make moving them easier each plant is on a set of casters.
