This week has been cold in the grow room with day time temps at 16c and night time around 12-13c. Growth this week has been quite slow and I wonder what has the biggest impact on growth rate. Is it temperature, light intensity or soil moisture levels? I've had the light at 25% since germination and wonder if it would be beneficial to start increasing the light levels or wait until they're more established before doing this. If anyone happens to read this and has thoughts about how to encourage faster growth, I'd be interested to hear.

Thanks for having a look at my first photo period grow. Just starting week 4 of flower. Buds starting to slowly swell, lots of pistils and the leaves are starting to frost. All lower leaves and branches are removed. Watering a gallon of bubbled water every second day with my General Organics feed schedule

11/24 Week 11 and things are happening Flowering tent: Pussy, F7, is on finish feed today flush tomorrow she is set for a harvest in about 7-10 days Plenty is just gorgeous pride of the tent Octo is finally building well so good times Chew Mee is now tallest in the tent with an inch on Octo she has to stay between the lights now Solitaire is Growing well and building but the lack of space is showing on her Dink is growing bushy but well Auto tent All on half n' half switching to full bloom shortly Bambi is just huge keeping her in line but yeah tall girl Thumber slow to grow does not look like she will be tall Holly f7 doing well Mary Gold Leaf growing well also as is Tiffany I know the camera sucks but given all thats happening its just not a priority we are barely finding time to update diaries at all 1/25 Big nuet change Cocotek Bloom running low cant get more for any decent price so switched the Flowering tent to Floraduo also stopped Peak as Pussy is in flush so save it for others later. Both GHE so pretty seamless except for adding cal-mag Pussy in her last week, progress must be made would let her go longer but needs dictate Plenty and Octo progressing well ahead of breeder info so looking at a couple of weeks there. Sativas reaching for the sky, Chew Mee making herself seen Dink taken off booster seat Solitaire looking pretty gave her more room by taking some from Pussy as she finishes. Auto tent remains on cocotek for a few more feeds but will shift as well. Damn GD messed up again, doubled part of the nuet list so be aware the list may be wrong Corrected list again maybe its fixed now 1/27 Flower tent Pussy continues to finish nicely Octo and Plenty right behind but a week or so Others doing well Auto Tent Bambi is a big girl she will be moved to the flower tent to replace Pussy Space the last frontier... and we are SHORT so continue to tweek things to get them through this Clone tent Clones growing a bit slow but the light situation is less than ideal for them. Only 100 watts in the tent. F7 and LSD ready for topping GC will need more time Plan is to flip between 12 - 14 inches after topping recovery Will firm up plans next week on these Ran across an idea , had we used microriza fungus in the pots for rooting the fungus gnat larva would have went after that rather than the roots themselves. They prefer fungus but will settle for root hairs Seeing some long term root issues in the recovered plants, think those hairs lost remain so thus having to stay on rooting hormones longer than normal

Tag 74: Die Fat Banana hat sich doch mehr gestreckt als ich erwartet hatte. Morgen werde ich sie noch etwas entlauben, und hoffen das sie sich nicht noch mehr streckt, platz für die Lampe ist nicht mehr.😬 Tag 75: Leider musste ich die Fat Banana mittig toppen sonst wären die Spitzen zu dicht an der Lampe, ich hoffe sie verträgt es😨 Und gründlich unterhalb entlauben war nötig.

So the story continues... this grow is really an experiment for me to train one plant within my 4'x2' grow space to ScrOG vertically and use the SP250 light on its side. For the majority of the vegetative stage the light will be hung normally above the plant until a week prior to flipping the light schedule and initiating flowering. The plant passed its seedling stage and has been vigorously growing albeit showing strong signs of over-watering and calcium deficiencies. It's really a transpiration issue which I have not solved yet. Increased distance to light as the plant may be growing too fast for its root mass. From feedback at Coco for Cannabis (CFC), it is a Cal deficiency and a young plant getting used to the grow in coco - quite common and not a sign of over-watering. Measuring run-off EC at each fertigation event as I increase the feed EC to monitor what the plant is doing/feeding. Fertigation is now maintained at twice a day (at lights on and 4hrs prior to lights off period) to maintain the target EC. Light period is during the night time to better maintain heat/humidity conditions during light off period (which happens during daytime). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The grow setup includes ; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 (gives me great control over the environment) - ventilation fans - aquarium heater for nutrients solution (for winter use only) - small oil heater (for winter use only) - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots (as final pots) and 3.5L general plastic pots (for seedling stage) - Canna Coco substrate mixed with 40% perlite - GHE Flora Trio as base nutrients and various additives - pH and EC/TDS meters - 2x Govee Thermo/Hygro meters (one at canopy, the other at the roots level - these allow for external monitoring and recording) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some strain info from Royal Queen Seeds ; An amazing mix of genetics background - Its true genetics are unknown. Some say OG Kush is a mix of ChemDawg with a Lemon Thai and Pakistani Kush. Others say that it’s just a special cutting of ChemDawg from the early 90s. The most obvious trait of OG Kush is its strong, unique, very dank, slightly citrus aroma, almost like fuel or strong detergent. The flavour of OG Kush is equally as strong and dank, with a long-lasting aftertaste. Strong mental and physical high - OG Kush is an extremely strong cannabis strain, with most experienced smokers listing it as one of their favourites. The effect is as strong physically as it is mentally. Though its effect is like an Sativa, the strain's genetics are mostly Indica. The effect is as strong and complex as the flavour. OG Kush takes around 8 weeks to flower and on average the yield is 500 grams per plant. Big buds with lovely tones - OG Kush is known to stretch slightly during growth but soon starts to fill out during flowering. Generally, it will reach a height of 90 to 160 cm. Its buds are large and dense, lime green clusters covered with a large amount of resin.

Yellowing advancing brow spots, some leafs drying and falling off. One girl I will flush tomorrow to cut on the weekend. The other 2 have more one week or 2. Is these yellowing hurt on the stage the girls are?

Day36, 37, 38: Seems to be growing a set of leaves per day now. Super growth! Stretching to the top. Day39: I had a hiccup with the camera. For some reason it stopped responding at 04:30 in the morning. I only realized it much later. I still don't really know why, but reseating the data ribbon fixed the issue. Day40: After fixing the camera, I decided to take this view again. The Lady is starting to show some nice growth and this view will show it best. If you look carefully, you'll see that her branches are not green, but rather reddish. Definitely related to genetics :) Everything else is within limits. Plus, the leaves look super healthy. Day41: Here you can see the stem colour better.

7/29/24 week 8. Flipping is around the corner. I have to defoliate before the flip. I added recharge nutrient this week to help the ladies have a quick recovery. I'm only feeding recharge with a 3 gallon res fill. I usually fill up by at least 6 gallons. What are yalls experiences using recharge?
