two gojis and 2 cocoons i think i'll flip to12/12 tonight.there was a bit of a mix up and i received the 3k instead of the 3500k i ordered.Dan from timber was nice enough to let me use the 3k while the 3500k is built.ive lst'd,topped and s-cropped these plants a few times as i have a small space.could any of you guys familiar with cobs give me a little guidance? i need to keep these as short as possible,should i dim the light(400w linear) to 50% and keep it closer to the canopy while i wait for the 3500k? how many inches would you guys recommend?when is the time to set up the scrog netting? after the stretch? im an outdoor guy moving in,first indoor grow,and i plan on having a few mistakes for sure.any tips would be much appreciated

i went with the 3500 because i thought it would help with the stretch,going from veg @6500 with the t5's.im thinking about building a cob for my veg cab so maybe its moot (going from 6500k if my cob is lower k)anyways

I went with a 3500°k too when selecting my lights. If i were to supplement id add more red. Maybe im wrong but i feel like 3500 is a better overall spectrum. 3000 may yield better? Just my philosophy with very little if any confirmed science behind it! Lol. Either way should grow some damn fine herb.

If space is a concern, what i do to train is pinch the 2 new fan leaves on each branch that make up the canopy as soon as they are opened up enough to do so. This promotes lower branching to grow out and stunts vertical growth a tad. It does slow down overall growth but makes a beautiful little bush with a nice even canopy if done right. When i scrog, i flip with the net about 4-6” above the canopy. First week or so the plant grows into it, you then have about 2 weeks to weave and train the plant. I use 2x2 or 2.5x2.5 inch spacing making my frame out of 1/2” pvc and using hex head self tapping screws. I string it with masonry line. If doing multiple plants under one net i like to use a contrasting color string to make an + dividing the plant to help keep them girls in line. Dont want them interfering with each other. 342C2683-1C0D-4D2C-869B-4D0F8E1DE037.jpegI used a piece acrossed the middle with this one giving me 2 nets. When this clusterfunk finishes i can cut the net out without fucking up her neighbors who are 3 weeks behind. Be careful of getting too close with cob lighting as they are intense and can cause light stress in a low and slow kind of way. You may not notice any issues until your girl starts growing dicks everywhere. Nobody likes that! Some strains will eat that shit up, others freak out. Something you just sort of figure out.

My veg tent....30" height lol......I used to rock cree's, but my cheap ass goes to walmart and buy's great value now.....can't tell the difference....see the lone cree survivor, maybe 2?IMAG0241.jpg

I rock the cree household bulbs, diffusers removed. 10 bulbs over a 2x3 area, 6@5000°k, 4@2700°. View attachment 4029869Plenty of bodhi gear up in here! Cant get away from t5s for clones and seedlings though.

I get 4 packs of them shits at home depot for 4-5$ depending on color. I forget which is which. The certainly make plants grow! Lemon lotus, from seed. 1 of 3 females out of 6 beanz. Cloning and pruning them all back now. 2 will get transplanted to go into flower in about 2 weeks taking the place of the clusterfunk. The third....who knows!

It's from seed; one girl of two seeds popped, and 10 left in the pack. I have a clone of this one just two weeks behind it. Very happy and trouble free to this point.

How long did it take to root? I find it to be my fastest rooting strain. Ive had roots poking out the bottom of a rockwool cube in as little as 6 days! Keep me posted, im interested to see what you get.

hey,thanks for the tips cletus,very helpful.ive seen that method of pinching the top two leaves,wild concept but youre right,makes nice bushes.
i love your color coded string idea,im definitely going to steal that idea lol.i decided to go ahead and keep the 3k,depending on what happens with this grow,i may build a 6' cob just for my veg cab with a lower k,which may slow the stretch going to 3k.the t5 is only 4' so i feel im losing 2' down there anyways. i put the cob up tonight at 14" and maybe at 50%.these plants should have been flipped a month ago,i may be in trouble with height,but i'll take that as a learning experience.thanks for your help.beautiful plants btw:peace:

I run vero 29 3 cob rigs from rapid led. 3500°k, draw 260 atw, 240 to the chips. 36v chips driven@ 2100ma. The tents are 2.5x2.5x5. I find these setups to be a bit intense if i let stuff get too tall, the scrog training helps. In the event that its too much light for them i can dial back the driver a touch. For nutes and such, the better part of the nectar for the gods line in promix hp fortified with some worm castings and composted chicken manure. I also run mammoth p in flower and slf-100 the with every feeding. They get weekly aact foliar and root drench as well as weekly aloe foliar and root drench.

Thanks for the reply clem. slf-100 with every feeding? This stuff works mixed in with nutes? What does it do for you? If it helps with nutrient lockout then that's exactly what I need. That's one of the main problems I'm having. They seem to drink very slowly for 2 gallon pots. Every 3 to 4 days in that size seems a bit long to me. I can only get 2 feeds a week because of this.

With every feeding, which is every watering in flower. Once or so a week in veg. Its a bacterial/enzyme, they work together to help break down all sorts of things. Nftg nutes have alot of particulate matter that builds up on the top a bit. It helps keep that stuff working for the plant. It will also break down salts and organic matter, a primo digester. It sounds like you may have transplanted sooner than necessary? I like to take time to develop a dense root system. I like to see the plant drying out its container in a day before i transplant.
