43 days in to flower and everythings still looking great, buds are swelling up nicely. I'm getting nice citrus/earthy tones off the sugar leaves
Had a few issues with high temps due to a heat wave. Ive had a couple of days of 28-29°C in the tent even with lights turned to 50% nothing much I can do but it's only temporary thankfully. Everything will be cooling back down again Monday. Not sure how long i have to go but I'm guessing around 10-14 days at a guess. They're starting to drink less aswell so I'm going to reduce the nutrients when i top up the reservoir from 2.2 to maybe 1.8 then 1.6?

Cheers

Sorry to hear that. Lacking an AC unit the only other thing to do would be to run the lights at night but, if it's just a heat wave, it might not be worth the trouble.

The plants look excellent and they've filled out the grow space completely. That's great to see.

Re. dropping EC - that's similar to what I've done but, for the life of me, I can't come up with a reason as to why I've done that. Growth definitely slows but that a doesn't necessarily mean that plants need fewer nutrients. I guess I've trusted conventional wisdom to be right about that. :shock:

I run my lights at night because the electricity is far cheaper and for me to regain the cost of an AC unit where I live would take me a lifetime. 24-26C maximum usually during the day in the summer haha. And after you've mentioned it I've ran my plants at 2.2 from seedling up until now and had no issues whatsoever. But I'd rather back then off for safety at the minute as I'm only a newbie can't afford to lose my personal supplies ATM haha. But I'm very happy with the plants hoping for 14-16 oz this run I think it's definitely doable with how things are... They smell amazing!!!
