Week 9 (Flower Week 4): not a whole lot to report-- buds are looking really nice, still doing a little bit of bending/LST to keep height even across canopy. At day F27, plants are ~36-38" high and I've got about 18" of room between the canopy and the light. Hoping I can maintain height control in the last few weeks. Plants are needing water about every 5th day-- starting to worry a little bit about high humidity in the room (it's a pretty small enclosed space when the door is closed-- been keeping it open and in/out of the tent has been hovering around 65% RH in the high 60s. Ideally would like it 5-10% lower-- might pick up a 30-pint humidifier to sort that out. Half-strength nutrients seem to be serving the girls super well-- don't really feel the need to dial it up any higher, given that the schedule is for hydro and I'm working in soil. Skipped Week 3 feeding just because of the 10-day water/water + nutrient cycle. Accidentally spaced out (dead sober, I swear-- just listening to podcasts) and forgot to pH before watering on F27. Knowing my tap water comes out super high (8.5ish), I pH'd the last 1/3 of the water down to about 5.5 to balance out somewhat. Minor panic but I imagine it's not going to be the end of the world, soil should have some buffering ability in there too. Will just get it right next time, when the Week 5 nutrients are on deck.

@firestarter i can see you're growing your plants to be tall and narrow, any particular reason for that ? just interested here ;)
firestarter
firestarter
@Bstoner, mainly because I had no idea what I was doing or when was right to start training... and then they got so big I started pruning just so they wouldn't overrun each other's space. But I only vegged for 5 weeks-- they absolutely blew up in the last week. Will definitely flip earlier next time.

I also should have topped my plants much earlier, but us first time growers have to make a few mistakes along the way, right? You must be psyched to start making flowers.

Looking good! I was a High Times Cannabis Cup judge in Amsterdam 3 years straight (Cups 23-24-25) and the Liberty Haze and Tangerine Dream were contenders during that time. Both are excellent, but the TD is exceptional! 👌 Good luck!

@AVITAS thanks! I'm very excited to see how they turn out-- they're growing beautifully in the meantime!

Ticks all the right boxes 👍 Watch out for humidity 👌 Yellowing can be a sign of a deficiency,but I have the same issue at flowering with one of mine - if it's just one plant it's unlikely it's the nutrients or ph .
firestarter
firestarter
@BigDaddyK thanks for the tip-- yeah I'm thinking it's most likely sensitivity to chlorination-- none of the others are showing any signs, and it's otherwise looking pretty robust, so not gonna worry too too much about it. Got myself a 5gal bucket and letting the water sit out 24hrs from now on (also a little aquarium pump and some hose, 'cause I'm tired of using a pump sprayer)

Hehe still think you shoulda threw that Green Crack down this run ;) The setup looks good, can't wait to see it up and running. GL on seed germing! -beanbean

@beanbean, Well, still got it so if a seed doesn't pop for some reason-- no reason not to use it as a replacement. And there's always next time!

Ps I have an olive packing drum that I bought for $15 that I thoroughly rinsed out , its 220 l and you can leave the water 💦 there while it dechlorinates for 24 hrs

Burnt tips is over nutrition- I do that but it's minor 🌱

@firestarter,I like super silver haze 👍

@BigDaddyK, now that they've cure a while, Tangerine Dream the definite winner. My preferences lean indica anyway, and it's extremely relaxing but with a mild, manageable euphoria too. Love it.

Looks good! Nice and frosty ... just got some Tangerine Dream and Acapulco Gold by Barney's ... will give those a go next run :-) I see you're rocking the CMH 315W ... how do you like them? I just switched a couple of weeks into my first grow and notice a huge difference from my last with the cheap LED I had.

@ElevatedThinking, absolutely love the cMH-- was originally planning on going with LED (had my eye on the Solar Flare), but was convinced otherwise at the last minute. Couldn't be happier with the result, and a few commercial growing friends agreed after the fact I made the right decision.
