Hi Potheads, During the course of the week there was a small addition of 3 More CFL LIGHTS through the use of Splitters and sockets thus freeing more outlets, the remaining were programmed to have different schedule that had increasing / peak /decreasing intensities of light sources according time before total blackout, harshly emulating outdoors but with the benefit of keeping thermals , consumption and electronics lifespam at range.
VEGGING WEEK TWO:
10 days of 21 vegging remaining if everything goes according to the plan but there is an impending menace that has to go out before putting plants to flower . Plants had a good growth response to the budget light, used soil and non-canon nutrient combos , but in the aspect plague control has been a bit more tedious, and even through im using an agressive product (Aceite de Springhill - Anasac) it does keep them at bay but it doesn't totally eradicate them, seeing a few small flying white dots and some moths when plants are shaken in search of bugs , having really low stretch horizontal plants does make harder to inspect the reverse of the leafs, some of them with clear signs of being chewed , and the bit size is like a hole made with a mechanical pencil and that can react to pesticide toxicity if overdose.
This is totally my fault because the reused soil with a lot of organic content is a perfect host for plagues and doing aggresive LST is easing the way to climb or jump towards the plants for any bug.
For plant placement inside the tent , u can use week 1, pic 1 for reference.
G13 Hashplant : The four specimens are the most affected by plagues persistence, because they have the most vegetal mass and trained branches that vermin can hide. In consequence, it also has received more spray doses of Aceite de Springhill (paraffin oil) and this losing battle contrasts absolutely with their spectacular growth , ramification and thick stems.
Santa Bilbo: The four specimens received topping with lst through last week, if there is a net above their cup, its because i already know that when it's stretches, it shows ALL her sativa ascendancy, don't believe in her morphology, preflowering is very messy indeed!. Also, The nutrient deficency didn't had heavy impact on the plants after they were transplanted and received both nutrient & plague control formulas.
Eleven Roses: All the plants were healthy but with different vigor, making the desition of the ones that will stay inside according to their reaction to topping. Eleven roses, althrough is declared 100% indica by her crushing effect, it can present phenos with longer internodal distance and flowering stretch , so i reccomend a bit of height control in it's grow stage as well.
Wow man, that’s a real factory you got there, awesome. Hope it does not cost you too much time. I wish the best and I will keep my curious eyes onto your progress.
Enjoy!
@SegaYGriega, as self translation can be a bit tricky, i understand that you refer to the cfl Bulbs because they contain Mercury , AND lifespam & efficency are worst than led Bulbs (AND there are quantum boards that provide Ur AND IV Spectrum too. I Will do that when the grow ends, to complete this as 'budget'. Nice work Bro!!! ☺️
PS: ALSO Mercury has an impact on landfills,so they need to be properly dispatched.
@Grow3rPT, Thanks, i will finish even if the results are good or bad because it can help people on developing countries like mine to get some flower.
Obrigado!
@SegaYGriega, we got spider here, rebranded as tesla. i will consider go to quantum boards , because i had a cob panel before went 404, excellent results but usually requires a hell of active refrigeration (as cooler fans and if they fail the lifespan of the panel halve) .
god damn bro, u broke the matrix doing this super crop with a cheap light setup. that's real interesting cause u show how experiencie and environment is the key for top buds! not just big ass expensive lights.
Real amazing following your diaries, enjoy your crop !
