CoC Narcotheraphy 2.0

I grew this plant this summer under an old style 100X3 and now I want to see what this new reflector 96 can do for the same plant in the same tent and pot. This is day two. The last pic is the first plant from earlier this summer at about eight weeks.

Day eight and I think I had the light too close (14in) for the first few days because the plant is not growing vertically as much as I expected, led now at 22 inches. Today I gave the plant one gallon of 10ml big bloom and 2.5ml microbrew at 6.6ph with about 350ml run-off. I added some perlite for better drainage, maybe too much, to the 5 gallon airpot (two cups). I also added 1/3 cup of lime, three weeks ago, to help control ph and raise ph from 5.8 to 6.4. I will try and not use cal/mag as much this grow and divide the feeding into twice per week instead of once a week and once with cal/mag. I think this light will develop the buds and their flavor better than the old light even though the four 4ft T5s are off. Last pic is the first plant from this spring at eight days.

So far so good vg, I will keep my eyes on your girls

Day 20 and there is some growth, not much compared to the last time (see last pic, day 18). My mistake of putting the light too close has really cost me this time. The color is good and she is showing her sex. More for the hash jar I guess, we will see.

The leaves so big.
Happy growing

The growth has been good and this plant may just get to 18in yet, I hope. The color is good and bud sites are ok. Last Friday the plant got a gallon of cal/mag extra at 6.7ph and will get some in the morning.

Cannot wait when they grow up and into flower! When do you plan to flowering them?

Day 30 and she got another gallon of 10ml big bloom, 3ml each grow big, kangaroots, kelp me and microbebrew at 6.6ph. Growth has been very good and the bud sites are looking good also. This plant should be ready for a bloom cleaning with sledgehammer by this time next week, maybe.

Day 35 and resin is just visible on some of the sweet leaves and I expect vertical growth to start slowing, plant now at 19 in. Bloom cleaning should happen this weekend, Sledgehammer (10ml/gal) followed by a gallon of cal/mag extra (8ml/gal). So far I have not had cal def issues, due to the lime added a few weeks before planting and feeding at 6.7-6.8 ph, but I have been feeding nutes more often so I expect a salt build-up if I don't clean soon. The plant appears to be forming a nice top cola, too bad I had the light too close in the first few days, lost 4-6 inches of growth I guess.
