Let the fun begin cleaning

just an idea as to root mass

poor pump filter
Now on to the reset

Starting at 18" will adjust from there will say certainly not as bright to the eyes as the LEC’s we will see what the lady thinks after a few days? Light mover will make sure plant gets full coverage from both lights

Those pics look so… naked!

Donaldj · February 25, 2018, 6:37am

that more what you expected lmao Pics were taken during the move so minutes after space was cleaned

This is what I am hoping to see as result or better?

I moved SS into veg space
before bending

And after

Looking awesome @Donaldj I’m staying tuned to see what the new LED’s can do. Welcome aboard haha. Your new girl looks a bit “bent” out of shape, but I know she will fill out real soon. You always have great grows.

Donaldj · February 25, 2018, 6:48am

She has 3-4 weeks to get into shape they grow slow in my low light mother space but pick up fast once under the LEC will be as big as lady I put under LED’s today. I will say flower space looks pink and way darker under LED’s but if spectrum is better who know’s I may be surprised?

Looking great @Donaldj do you every sleep?

Donaldj · February 25, 2018, 7:27am

Pretty soon but on west coast so 11:25pm here right now means I wake to all the new posts since everyone gets up ahead of me lmao

dbrn32 · February 25, 2018, 4:24pm

That’s definitely more what we’ve come accustomed to out of your shed!

Donaldj · February 26, 2018, 9:19pm

the stretch has begun temps are closer to 72 than the 78 from LEC seems so much dimmer than I am used to

I can already foresee plant will be close to same size by the time stretch ends as I am training it every couple of days to widen it out some more.
Figure 2-3 weeks left on the WW on other flowering side she’s started to get a few golden hairs so will get one last PK bump than tapered feeds

Screwauger · February 27, 2018, 12:33am

Look at all those sweet flowers! Great pictures @Donaldj and even better grow going on there.

Donaldj · February 28, 2018, 5:37am

Busy day progressed with my mainlining to what should be last defoliation

which I followed up with some final stage shaping

Needed to do a reset on mothers since they were far too woody
before

Brace yourself for it the end result is scary but I assure you they will bounce back fast

That’s right same plants they will come back they were choking out the light now it’s a more even battle again.
I couldn’t do all that pruning without taking some clones

Screwauger · February 28, 2018, 9:07am

Out of likes @Donaldj but that is impressive Sir. I don’t know if I could prune like that and get to sleep that night. Wow.

Donaldj · February 28, 2018, 4:09pm

Being that they are mother plants and I have next 3 months of harvest plants lined up they have time to recover I assure you and if they don’t I have seeds for 3 of the 5 My other option was clone everything than reset since the space is at a premium I have more strains coming and haven’t got my frankenstein ready yet

Covertgrower · February 28, 2018, 5:18pm

I’m with @Screwauger out of likes, and also not sure I could sleep at night after that much chopping.
Knowing it can be done is half the battle. @Donaldj

Donaldj · February 28, 2018, 6:24pm

all it means is all the hidden limbs which normally get very little light and less energy suddenly get a chance to shine

Screwauger · February 28, 2018, 8:25pm

Okay, that eases the stress a bit if they are mother’s, I get that although I’ve never mainlined, it looks pretty cool!

Macadon · March 1, 2018, 2:00am

So you don’t stress the plant out at all with that much pruning at once? @Donaldj

Donaldj · March 1, 2018, 4:40am

They aren’t in flower and they have lots of time to recover so stress is less of a factor I certainly wouldn’t go that wild and throw them straight into flower
