Germination with all seeds after 3 days inside a paper towel in a lock and lock box (lid loosely on top) , transplanted into airpots.
Reusing Biobizz Allmix soil from last grow (added some guano, biobizz grow fertilizer and soil activator)
First week - submerged the airpots for a few minutes into tap water
Led dimmed to 60 w (so basically 30 w for 4 plants, the other 4 are random chilli seeds)
Submerged the airpots again in 3 l tap water (let it sit for 24 hours and added a small amount of magnesium).
everything will get topped after the 5th node, one Matanuska Tundra is a little bit behind the other plants.
closeups and single pictures next week :)
Big week - maybe a little to much stress as I am seeing some problems at the leafs right now.
topped 3 out of 4 and one plant got a nice fiming ;-)
the airpots went a little bit to dry and I had to quickly repot to bigger pots as the roots were reaching out of the bottom.
should have monitored the root grow better.
The last two pictures show some sights of deficiency after getting a little bit dry before repotting. Any recommendations: should I do something? I will definitely use some ph-down and water with 6.0 to 6.5 ph to help the microorganism get going :)
Hmmm it looks to me like some kind of Nutrient lock out or toxicity has she stopped growing ? if so this is most likely the case though as the grower has stated that ph is high and could of caused that too I would advisee giving her a flush for a few days and then re evaluating after that :) Best of luck anyway my friend :)
Lockout seems to solved itself while watering with ph 6.5.
Some more LST to spread the plants out
dimmed lamp to 100 w and 30 cm space between lamp and plants before flipping to 12/12 at the end of the week and increasing to 200 w
Watering with 1.25 L / plant every few days which will be increased soon.
Flipped the switch to 12/12 at the end of week 4. Lamp is now dimmed to 200 w and 660nm was added.
Happy with the result so far - will (lightly) defoliate this week.
I am always amazed how fast the plant recovers after defoliation.
Pretty sure I should have to cut lower braches top - but what the hell: popcorn buds are nice too ;-)
Upping the BioBizz Bloom to 2 ml / l (from 1 ml) and defoliating again at the end of week 3
Upping the nutrients for the gorilla glue and pineapple express to 3 ml Biobizz Bloom per liter this week because of slightly brighter green leafs.
not sure whether to increase the lamp to plant distance more.
pro: less heat next to the buds
con: less light for the matanuska tundra
added roughly 18 cm foam spacing underneath the matanuska tundra to bring the canopy on the same level as the other two plants.
Long time no update - past few weeks where kinda unspectacular.
One Matanuska has a slight nutrient problem - i guess to much water and i need to up the biobizz dose.
looking forward for the final few weeks. better pictures when the light turns on :)
Height:
Matanuska Tundra 40 cm
Gorilla 60 cm
Pineapple Express 66 cm
Kinda getting sloppy with this diary to the end :D Sorry for that.
basically I guess this grow is finished. all trichomes are milky, 20 % brown at the sugar leaves (I dont now why but under my leds I am simply not getting brow trichomes at the buds).
One of the Matanuska Tundra was running to dry one week but after trimm there should be nearly no trace of it.
Buds are a little smaller than the other one.
will probably harvest at the end of the week.
What do you guys think?
@dotgrow, OK - remember to check your light manufacturers recommended distance against that. You don't want toncook your leaves with too much light (Like I just did)
@Smokin_Joe, more like 20 cm space to the gorilla glue and pineapple express and 40 cm to the two matanuska tundra.
but i will place the matanuska on some rigid foam and so the tops are on the same level.
