Day 23: grow is coming along nicely! Tucking the larger leaves behind the smaller ones to allow more light.
The older BD is coming on nicely, I think she is going to stretch soon. I'm still going a little heavy on the N. I can see the tips clawing down slightly. Minor discoloration on the tips but hardly even noticeable.
Day 24: the oldest BD is showing signs of a cal mag deficiency. I have been giving cal mag xtra at 0.5ml/L Due to the amount of N. Next feed I will up to 1.25ml/L and cut the grow A out. Worried about the amount of N shes going to be getting, cal mag as it is 4-0-0 and the grow A is 3-0-0.
Watered the younger blue dream. Exactly the same as I have been previously.
Day 25: New gear day ๐! Its been a busy day in the garden! Second p1000 added to tent. Also added in 2x CO2 gas bags. CO2 bags are placed next to the air intake to keep the CO2 in the tent for as long as possible.
The lights are now set at 50% and about 23 inches above the girls. Giving them the same intensity, but with more coverage.
I've also been monitoring VPD. I'm keeping my tent at a 50% humidity, using a humidifier outside the tent. With my temps being between 24-26ยฐC I believe this is the optimal range.
Finally, I have watered the jack herer. I gave her 3L of water this time. I waited a little longer to water than I have previously, so the pot took more to get the 20% runoff. I will be waiting until the other girls feel like this. I've been a little nervous about under watering. The 3L feed was the same as the previous one.
Day 26: big shock today... my timer for lights hasn't gone off since I installed the second light ๐คฆโโ๏ธ multi plug stops mechanical timer from spinning ๐คฌ.. all sorted now, they will turn off tonight! Only caught due to the new camera!
On to that, I got a cheap camera from amazon to view remotely.. made sure temp/RH can be seen also. Works great. It is 1080p but I haven't figured out how to get the timelapse download quality in 1080p. I will look into that. Anyway I got a timelapse of the blue dream after watering ๐.
Watered her the usual. If interested just scroll up it's been the same for a while ๐.
Day 28: smaller blue dream watered the usual. I really do need to cut the N down. They are on the edge of toxic levels.
Girls are looking a little sleepy tonight, this morning I upped the power on the lights to 65% they took it really really well. It came to tea time and they were taking it really well still so I upped it to 75%. A few hours at 75% and they told me that was to much by dropping the leaves. Its lights out soon so no big deal! I know where my lights should be set for optimal growth tomorrow. Its amazing how much they can tell you. So I'll be leaving them on 65% at 18" for a little while. I'm trying to prevent too much stretch.
Day 29: watered the jack today, shes looking the furthest into flower! I cut the sensi grow A out fully today as she has N in her cal mag and B52. Kept all the other levels the same for now. Next feed I will be introducing her to the bloom nutes.
Oldest BD will be due a feed tomorrow and she will be having the same.
They are continuing to grow nicely, I'm pretty shocked with how big they are if I'm honest!
Cheers for stopping by ๐๐
@Fast_Buds, cheers! I loved every second of it! Thanks for creating such awesome genetics! Super excited for my next harvest! (Purple punch, LSD-25 and bruce banner!) ๐๐
@Bikerwolf, definitely in the same category, you can get way more F'ed up on alcohol than weed. Even some harder drugs. It's silly really. The only think I'd say weed could be really dangerous is if you're stoned out of your brains driving a car. But that still doesn't compare to alcohol.
Hahaha that's so true! Definitely the worst thing is being caught with it ๐๐
@InspireMe, Agree 100% with this. If alcohol was 'invented' today, it would surely be put in the same harm category as other hard drugs. Was it Bill Murray who said that the most dangerous thing about weed is being caught with it?
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, I looked.. it seems to be only big pharma that can get them ๐ญ๐.. hopefully that will all change. Afterall weed is safer than alcohol by a mile. (In my opinion!)
Looking good. Why do you think you have a little to much nitrogen?
Is it because the tips have browned a little?
That is perfectly normal going into flower. I don't see any pistol reddening or browning early and no leaf claw. I would say your on a good grow path right now.
@InspireMe, ec in soil can be much higher then soiless before you start seeing problems. But I live by less is best. Underfed and you still get huge nugs. Overfed and not so much, plants suffer. Just read your girls...
@GMSgrows, thanks bro I will try that and see how they get on. Probably become a lot healthier, I was paranoid about them being hungry at the start, or lacking cal mag so just kept feeding lightly and made sure to have plenty of runoff to prevent buildup. Will I have to double my feed if I'm going to do it that way?
@Faegrows, thank you! Yes its 3 plants in one tent... a little crowded ๐๐... I nearly did 4! That would have been bad ๐.. I feed 4L every 3 days, they're pretty thirsty haha, obviously that includes the runoff amount. I get a fair amount running out to make sure I dont get any buildup
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
Please feel free to check out/show love on some of my recent grows (Tropicana cookiez/Venom OG/Banana Mango/Blueberry Muffin )
Alsoโฆ I have a lots of growing tips on my profile page (comments section)
Looking good...buds fattening up well. It can be tricky to get clear trichome pics...as you say, the microscope and the plant need to be completely still. The trichomes in the first picture look fairly cloudy and you've got a good proportion of brown pistils, so you're not too far from harvest now. Are you going to start a flush now?
@Bikerwolf, lmao my mrs has already had me take 2 "samples" I've taken 2 colas already lmao.. kept it on the DL though haha. I said no, so many times but each time she offered explicit things so I chopped the poor BD at the back ๐.. shes at it again.. she wants me to harvest the whole plant already.. she isnt as good as the other two.. I suspect the stunting did actually play a factor in that, but despite missing 2 colas shes doing well ๐
@Bikerwolf, cheers mate! Yeah it was a little tricky! I turned off my intake and my fan and it was still shaking like crazy haha.. maybe I had too much caffeine this morning ๐
Yeah man, I agree its flush time! I started on my last watering. Super excited, they smell amazing. My mrs is trying to get me to chop the back BD already ๐... temptation is high ๐
