This week is starting crazy, the weather outside pushed the max temperature indoors yesterday at 29,2°C , whilst managing to keep the humidity at 45%. Watered counsciously. I´ve already made changes in ventilation to keep that as much under control as possible, my targed being 27°C tops. I know this strains enjoys cooler temps like 21°C, but I´m doing my best.
Raised the lamps 5 more centimeters and will another 5 before the end of this week. The desired effect is the rising of leaves.
Resin production has increased, some of the fan leaves are showing signs. Two slightly different phenoes, the darker one flowering a few days earlier and incresed resin amounts. The lighter coloured leaves pheno is a little strechier or opened to say. One dark coloured in particular has an amaizing terpene profile, already. Moutwatering really. Would have made a top cloner!
Today I noticed I´m in that stage where plants have stopped growing in height so will introduce a little more Phosphorous and CannaBoost.
Some of the worms have begun to exit the substrate, I reposition them outdoors in my LittleGreenhouse.
For safety, as my substrate is still at Ph 8 , lowered the feeding solution from 6 to 5,5 . Also thinking about reusing the runoff. Will do my research and see how it goes.
Update day 4: today I´ve stopped the main ventilator at "day break" and let the temperature rise for a few hours to further dehydrate the plants as have not watered for 60 hours and counting. Followed by a "wash" with 15L each pot (1L water per 1L soil) fresh water then 15L feeding soution that has been brewing for 72 hours. It´s been aerated thoroughly and it smells incredibly good.
@Growpotkin, thank you ! Man I love your auto collection ! Very nice choices, will def follow your WW auto, since I plan as well to try my hand with an indoor auto run, and have some same strain freebies just lying around lol. All the best !
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, I could never doubt it, it's my first time ever under LED. Either way, Mars Hydro is simply an amazing piece of lighting. Love the dimming option, easiest mounting ever and the light itself is clear , pleasant and plants respond very very well as soon as One gets a feel in playing with heights and intensity. Blew me away at first try.
#later edit : And I would say that is a compendium of things that gets them frosty, starting with Mother Nature, followed by Barney´s Crew, hillman and Mars Hydro. Wouldn´t You agree lol !?!
@youngatheart, thank you 🙏 ! Man, all the hard work pays off eventually, one way or another. I feel I'm getting close to a organic home made formula strong enough for an indoor. P.S. Your Kush'n'Cookies look amazing bro !
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, yes they are good. I'm thinking of repurpose them exclusively for seed sprouting and vegetation state, as a prep before outside transplant. I mean things grow well and fast under them, of course with the right amount of care and the right lamp to plant distance.
@FarmingTown, Basically this particular brew plays the role of a grow+bud candy fertiliser. I fermented plant leaves like stinging nettle, dandelion, camomile, burdock, elderflower together with fruit parts or juice like dried figs and dates, orange and apple juice, carrot roots, alfalfa for Rhyzobium. All in certain amounts for good balance. It needs oxygenation, by hand or ideally by fish tank pump, as you are actually growing bacteria. Its PH is acidic, very good to bring down high PH waters. It can be used diluted 1L/10L up to 5L/10L without causing burns. Also makes an excellent foliar spray, diluted 1L/10L, to be used 30 min before sunrise, or an hour after sunset, if grown outdoors.
