Day 20 of flowering (12/12).
The SSH are just doing great, a little pinch did almost nothing so I hung their light as high as I could.
Let's hope they stretched enough.
All the leds are at 80% now, I don't want to go any higher.
Every plant is showing good health at this stage.
Feeding for next week will be 2ml/L Alga bloom. When I see some bulking of the flowers I will give a little more.
I did gave 1ml/L Silick Rock with 1 watering past week and will probably do it again this week.
I monitored the light distribution with a lux meter, I have between 31000-40000lx around the tops of every plant.
That is as good as I can get the distribution with the staged light setup.
This meter does not tell me anything about actual ppfd only if there is relatively even light spread, you have to work with what you got.
I do look at my plants and they are telling me that they are fairly happy atm.
I staked the 4 SSH's yesterday.
The poles are 180cm, just look at a picture from 20 days ago, this cut is a beast and minimal 10 years old by now.
If you look at these plants and my SSH outdoor grow I did a few years back you will see a lot of similarities in the plants structure (outdoor vs. indoor).
I hope I don't have to top these.

Day 27 of flowering (12/12).
Temperatures are getting high around here (+30°C).
I lowered the leds to 70% the past 3 days.
This helps a little but still above 30°C for a couple of hours.
The extractor fan is working overtime to help.
I fed them 2ml/L Alga Bloom and will stay with that for next week.
Next to that they received 2x 1ml/L Silic Rock to help them to cope with the heat.
So far they seem fairly ok.
They did their last stretch, the Honolulu Haze's still had some growth left.
SSH are standing around 180cm tall with the pot:
Honolulu Haze#12 is developing fast:
Western Winds drinks the most water, 1,6L every other day:
Honolulu Haze#3 did surprise me with the final stretch:
Next week temps will remain +30°C and since I no longer run at night this could become a challenge.
Let's see how this plays out.

Is there a particular reason that you no longer run them at night?
Your grow is wicked! I'm ao jealous of your setup

Thanks PennyP.

I have some solar panels and want to make good use of them.
Good for the electricity bill but not for the climate in the shack...
I will give it a try this year.
The weather should turn in the coming weekend, I hope that they can cope with it until then.
Tomorrow and the days after will be even hotter, I will lower the led's to 60-65%.

Day 35 of flowering (12/12).
Past week was heavy on the plants, temps were in the mid 30°C range.
It shows, I see severe signs of stress on the tops.
It's a pitty but we have to work with what we have.
Their health is still fairly ok.
I ran the lights at 50% for the whole week, only today I put them around 65%.
Next week will be cooler, I will see how they progress.
Feeding is now 1ml/L Green Sensation and 2ml/L ALga Bloom.

Here you see better what I meant with heat stress.
Leaves on the tops are wider, seem fuller and are pointing downwards.
I did notice lesser trichomes in that area but it is still early.
The buds beneath the tops do seem normal.
First time seeing this.
Anyone else that saw this in his plants before?

Next time I will bend them Wako78, this round I would like to see how they express themselves under the new lighting combo.Looking great
I use Photone app on iPhone for ppfd it was 5quid, it’s pretty accurate
The SSH and WW have been grown many times in different ways so I kind of know if I'm going in the right direction.
They are sort of my canaries in the coal mine.
What's the Western Winds like? I like the look of that one. The red petioles leaf form the frost out and the stack. Just the right mix of blood for me. Congratulations on a superb grow.

Are you sure it’s heat stress? I notice similar when I water, usually much colder water than the air temp. Or when my pots are overwatered after the dry spell. Just what I thought it was, whenever it happens to me.
This is mine from a watering a week or so ago. It ranges from 8-20 degrees most days here for winter. So water can be a shock on the girls at times. There aren’t any haze’s here on this grow this is a couple of different med man.
Shark shock showing slight twist and slight ‘taco-ing’ (zoom in haha)
My Bubblelicious showing more twist. On the fan leaf.
Just a thought?
