Gary Payton – Flowering Day 35 | Week 5 🌿 Day 35 of Flowering – October 25, 2026 Another week down, and the Gary Payton girls are progressing nicely! This week, we made two important upgrades to the grow setup. First, we installed 60W of under-canopy LED lighting (4 × 15W) to provide additional light to the lower buds and improve light distribution beneath the dense canopy. Second, we upgraded to a more powerful dehumidifier, now positioned outside the tent. This frees up valuable space inside and should help us maintain better humidity control as the flowers continue to develop. The main LED is now running at 80%, as 100% turned out to be too much light for the plants. With the additional under-canopy lighting, we’re aiming for a more balanced light distribution throughout the entire canopy rather than simply pushing maximum intensity from above. The AutoPot and BioTabs system continues to work well. Each plant is currently consuming approximately 3 liters of water every 24 hours, bringing our total daily water consumption to around 6 liters for both plants. Water uptake remains strong as the plants continue developing their flowers. Bud development is looking good, with plenty of promising colas and flowers gradually gaining size and density. We’ve removed a few yellowing older leaves and are keeping an eye on the foliage, but overall the plants are progressing steadily. We’re now entering the second half of flowering, with approximately 4–5 weeks still to go. The focus from here on is healthy bud development, balanced lighting, stable environmental conditions, and keeping the plants healthy all the way to harvest. Let’s see what the additional lighting can do over the coming weeks! 🌱🔥
