El Rugido Del Tigre Dorado

Welcome to my grow... Day 44 from seed. I am attempting a pure sativa hybrid for the first time...and should have done a little more research...began veg under 18/6 for 21 days then a daily decrease of 1 hour til 12/12 - I will note the 2 ES 180’s started out at 48” above the Canopy from day 1. Power was started at 25% and by week 4 - before flip 100% They are 11” tall now with them topped and trained and the light has been lowered 10” over the last couple weeks. Will follow the equatorial light schedule from the beginning next time...and maybe a wake up half way through the night to elongate veg and increase size before flip... But this is this grow and let’s get started... 2 Electric Sky 180’s - V2 and V3 Total watts 360 LED- Comparable to a 700w HID they say...hope it’s intense enough. Exhaust is the 4” AC Infinity- currently no filter attached and on 3/4 power. 2 small desk fans atop the Es180’s on Hi....and a 3rd dual oscillating fan at canopy level (3 speed) which varies from night to day. Temp is 29c above lights and 26c at soil level. 2 Fem Golden Tiger F3 from 2019.. obtained from True North Seeds..trusted site I believe. Germinated then Began in 1.4 litre containers for 3 weeks under 18/6 then transplanted to - 3 gallon final containers Both have been topped and tied down with wire to spread out Will be a continual LST til the harden..if any! Using soilless Pro-mix HP with mycorrhizae Of the last 16 days 7 were 11.5/12.5 9 have been 11/13 Flower started 2 days ago...getting ready for the stretch - the feeding schedule I’ve included is for my next feed...first feed with bloom. Plan to continue with minute nitrogen amounts til 4/5 week of flower. My water is sourced from a natural spring 7 degrees year round Ppm/ TDS 450 pH 7 Could get away with just this water for most of the grow....it’s great stuff Let’s see where this takes us. ✌️🏽 If anyone has grown the Golden Tiger and has some advice...I’m all eyes/ears. This should go well into July and maybe even August....but I’m under the impression the 11/13 schedule will quicken the flower...along with the claims by Electric Sky..they say their lights work so well they finish a couple weeks earlier than most others!.... Well....let’s see!

Well, the 1st week of flower is in the books... Not much growth-A couple of inches - it’s not stretching like I expected... Lights are 26” from the canopy Opted for just Fert this morning...Zero Liquid Karma... Grow baby - Grow! Temps/Humidity are all spot on. I figure I’ll keep the PPM in the 600 range... My spring water was 415 ppm this morning - Adding 1.5 ml of grow Adding 2.5 ml of bloom Raised PPM to 615 ppm Each received 2.25 litres this morning w/ 200 ml runoff (combined) Water every 4 days No abnormalities except Size(lol)... but hopefully - I’ll eat my words Peace!

Second week of flower has come to an end. Flower day 15 begins tomorrow and they are rather squat but vibrant electric green. I think I have the Malawi Pheno...it isn’t thin and whispy like the Thai in it... should be electric and highly psychedelic. No anomalies, abnormalities or deficiencies. A cool spring has helped maintain ambient temps in my place which keeps everything stable in the tent. Growing in an apartment is difficult.. dry winters and soggy, humid summers. There is a perfect time to Germ/veg/flower and with a 100 day flower sativa...timing has to be spot on. I think these two ladies should grow well from here on in...what a dry and slow start they had in Veg. Lookin good now. PPM is 615. They were fed 3 litres after 4 days this week (bone dry). 10% run off. Temps and humidity are all steady. I’ve ordered Purple Haze x Malawi from Ace seeds via way of seedsman. I’m considering vegging those concurrent to this flower so I have optimal conditions to finish that 16 week’r by the end of the year...that grow I intend to Veg for at least 60 days maybe 75 and will be upping the size of container to a 5gallon. But for now.... Let’s watch these beautiful golden tigers grow. Flower day 15- opted to adjust the lights to 24” above the canopy until 5th week. Been giving the two ladies a 1/4 turn every day. The slow start in veg with such dry conditions I think may have slightly stunted over all growth. Day 59-Flower day 17 Feed day 💦Natural Spring Water 415 ppm ⚖️ .30ml ph down ⚖️ .75 ml Veg ⚖️ 5ml Bloom ⚖️ 2.5ml liquid Karma Total ppm 750 Each were fed 3 litres - 10-15% run-off Day 61/Fl 19 Well, I had to buy a Digi ph meter and am I relieved I did. The ph test drops were just not precise..I’ve been just scraping by with my ph at 6.4. I’ve noticed a slight iron deficiency beginning at the bottom couple leaves. Flushed a Gallon through both with a ph of 6. Ppm read out was half of what it was when I read last watering run- off Wow. I’m a doofus. But caught this in time. Welcome to the 21st century bucko. Wonder why all my last harvests with this new light were under weights and small!!! And I thought it was the LED. Day62 -Flower 20 Flushed with 2 gallons each 6.0 pH/450ppm Spring water 1 mil from the eye dropper(thin tip) plus 6 extra drops gives me 6.0 exact Back on schedual With 11 more weeks to go...I’ve lost plenty size with this blunder...but the quality should still be in tact. Day63 -Flower 21 All is well in the tent at the end of week 3

Week 4 has begun. Day64-Flower Day 22 This week should get 2 feedings in. The current water feed schedual and ratio is for the next feeding which should take place Wednesday. This is the last week with the addition of Grow fert. Update I’ve eliminated the grow fert. My water is chalk full of everything. The Bloom solution has enough N to get through the grow. Day65 - Flower Day 23 Rotated 180 degrees Next water will be tomorrow All bloom from next week. The pH problem I encountered has definitely stunted the over all size of the plants. Colour is coming back to the bottom part that had Iron deficiency... over all the plants look better after the proper pH flush. 9-10 more weeks to go. Day66 -Flower 24 3.2 litres fed 350 mil run off Ppm 650 ph 6.0 Day 67-Flower 25 All is well.🚰💦💧🍀🍃🌿🌱🌲🌳🍄🌞 Day 68- Flower 26 all good...A little more growth..half an inch on 1...the damage is done...maybe a little more but not much. They’ll fatten and get sticky...already starting to funk. One all Pine and pepper...the other some other worldly funk. ✌️🏽 Day 69. - Flower 27 Feeding day 💦3.2 litres / 15% runoff Ph 6.0 Ppm 600 Looking better each day...almost the end of week 4 Next feeding is only ph’d water Day 70 - Flower 28 Decided to flush this morning 3.5 gallons each with 5.9 ph and 500ppm Too much build up over the course of the last 60 nights or so.... Fighting for these two....they’ll come through Still have plenty of time. 🤞🏼🍀💦

Beginning to week #5 Flower - 8-9 weeks left I hope! Day 71 - Flower 29 Water day 3.2L each 6.05 pH/750ppm Day 72 - Flower 30 Everything is good Day 73 - Flower 31 Plants have stabilized and are fattening up....the yellowing is done but...new growth is green and it’s got plenty vigour left...

Peace💦 Day 76- all good Day 77- flower 35 End of week 5 Colour has returned- ladies look great...

Temps are lower and humidity is stable 29 degrees 45% Rh Chances this will go to 14 weeks looks pretty good... One smells rancid and funky...(Malawi pheno) One smells of pepper and Pine.... Day 79 - Flower 37 All is well. Warms temps in the 30’s today- will lower intensity to 75% to keep heat down. Feed day tomorrow- only water!. Correction Feed day is today 3 litres Fresh spring 6.05 ph- 475ppm All good. 10% run off Ph 5.9 - Ppm 600 Day 80 - flower 38 All is well. Warm temps and humidity over 50% today. Day 81 - Flower 39 Stable Temps cooler 28c - Rh 42% ✌️🏽 Day 82 Flower 40.

D88/Fl46 Humidity is rising...heat arrives tomorrow for a full week..30 avg w/humidity 38..FML. A/C to be cranked and more active air needed in the tent.

Lower intensity...turn some fans on... You can do it.....😅🌳✌️🏽💧🌞 Day 89/Fl 47 A/c keeping temps stable 26c. Humidity 50% The damage to the yellowed leaves is pretty noticeable...light damage burned to a crisp. ..but all in all...negligible loss...the stalks are fattening up nicely...
