Week 5

My 2x4x5' tent arrived, and it's really decent. It has several sleeves to attach ventilation or ducts, as well as a peak window, and some storage pockets. I've also ordered a new 260 Watt XL Quantum Board LED Kit per several recommendations online. I'll be using it inside of the tent to support later stages of veg, as well as flower.

The plants appear to be doing well with recovering from being topped too soon. Infact, I almost think that it's encouraged additional growth that might not have happened in topping at a later stage, but the down-side is that the recovery will take a bit longer. Some of these plants appear to have 2 new branches, with 1-2 additional new branches beginning at the site that I had cut.

So I think I've narrowed the growth thing down to light. I also think that some of these are beginning to outgrow their small pots, so I'll be trying to move the rest to larger pots tonight. The new LED light arrives on Tuesday, and that is when they'll go to the tent. If that is indeed the case, I can still raise seeds using the old lights, and keep them relatively short, while finishing what's happening in the tent. Maybe not for 5 weeks next time, because I think it's cutting it close with the whole...keeping them alive thing, but options nonetheless.
