I'm just checking with you guys & gals to find out your general opinion on my lighting situation. This is my first post, but I've been reading on this site for about year, so I have an idea on what I'm doing. BUT
.....you guys are the masters and I'm just a newbie. So, here we go with a little info to get everyone caught up to my grow.
FIRST GROW EVER (1 year research)
2 (of 5) Nirvana Bubbleicious Fem. (First buy, discreet, fast delivery, 100% germ & fems)
-Day 13 of 12/12 (was 18/6)
-Paper towel and plate germed, planted in the current pots
-3 gal. pots filled with Coco ONLY
-(
42w (200w equiv.) CFL (6-6500K, 2-2700K) 2700-2800 lumens each
-Hand watered, WELL water
-Digital PH Tester
Nutes: Fox Farms Trio, also Aquashield & H2O2 rotated, SM-90 (in case of bugs, seen 1 ever, sprayed once 5 wks ago)
Room Temp: Constant 74
Humidity: Average to low, 2 portable dehumidifiers (1 on and set to below average up till now)
I will put both dehumidifiers on full bore (large room) in 10 more days.
You'll notice in the pics:
-One is a foot taller than the other
: Day 14, after 4 true leaves, the lights over the "tall girl" stayed off for 28 hours. Wholly stretch!
I did have to take them out of the 5' grow tent right before I went 12/12. More later on this...
-The canoeing. About 15 fan leaves on The tall girl and 10 on the Bush. I already uped the humidity to make sure I don't have a moisture problem. I'm going to give a small dose of CalMag a whirl, since I have well water(1 household filter and a PUR faucet filter). And, I'll flush if needed.
Now... Here's the question.
In the pics you'll see that the 4 sets, of 2 lights are basically on the sides of the plants.
Would it benefit me to make sure that there is a light "overhead" of both plants to avoid more growth, and to provide for more light to the colas?
And, could it be a possible cure (more light) for canoeing? You can let me know anything I might change as well...
I appreciate any responses, and thanks for reading!
