Lighting Autocob and Apollo 11 Grow
- Thread starter BmC76
- Start date
Thank you for the journal bro and thanks for showing what 5 days will do! Things are looking amazing
The Sweet Black Angel seems like it could take more light (top left plant), but the Choc Mint, not so much. The light is about 20" above them and I can't raise it past that.
Once my other plants finish flowering (4 days), these will take their place in the flowering cab where they'll have a little more room.
Still no clue what I'm going to do with them...but they are getting bigger every day. The fans are the size of my hands.
Sorry about the pic being upside down. No matter what I do, it still comes out this way when I upload it.

If it's an iPhone turn it sideways when taking the picture. I turn mine to the left when I snap away.
Hey thanks for the heads up! Yeah, I tried both ways and even tried rotating the pic itself before uploading, but it still came out the same way. It's weird because I can load the same pic to another forum and it turns out fine.
I'll try for better pics this evening. I'm also going to add a 4000k Autocob to the A11 space tonight. My current plan is to run 3 lights in the 20"x20" space. 2 3500k & 1 4000k, then once the strech is over, run 2 2700k & 1 3500k. The last 2-3wks, I'll then replace the 3500k w/ a 5000k, possibly a 6500k if I can find one.
With this grow, I'm shooting for short plants with rock hard buds with lots of resin.
Last grow they were tall with semi-hard buds and loaded in trichs.
Btw, the A11 clones were monster cropped (taken 5wks into flower) so they would get very branchy without the need to top. I'm not a fan of topping simply because it sets my plants (strains I grew) back a week or so.

So I installed a 4000k Autocob to go along with the 2 3500k. All 3 lights are 21" from the canopy. Directly under the lights, I'm getting 54k lux. The lowest readings are in the corners: 28k, 29k,
32k, 33k.
Looks like I need to play with the placement of the lights to get an even spread because right now, they're not grouped directly over the center of the scrog...all 3 need to move back about 2". I also need to get readings without the reflectors on because I think they are making the light pattern too tight.
32k, 33k.

So the ladies are coming along nicely! Lights are still at 21" and they seem to be eating the light up at 54k lux. I may swap over to the 2700k sooner and drop them down till I get 60k lux at the canopy. Also thinking about throwing a 4th Autocob in there...because more light 
Anyways, this is my favorite part of the grow...watching as little budlets form. So far the stretch has been easy to deal with.
One thing I like about this pheno is that the buds don't stay close to the branch on the side branches, they tend to grow up and out and produce perfect little 2g (dried) buds. At least they did on my last grow.

So the ladies just entered wk 3 of flowering. I'm currently running 4 cobs now. 2 3500k and 2 2700k. 73k lux in the center and 42k in the corners. I still need to play with light spacing and reflectors in order to get an even spread of light across the canopy.
They're drinking about 1.5lt a day, which seems like a lot seeing how small they are. They're also developing red leaf stems so I upped my calmag a little. Feedings are:
7g Maxibloom
5ml calmag
5ml hydroguard
2ml Armor Si
Not too sure how much stretch is left in them, but they are going to be short like I was hoping.
