I started the seed in a glass of RO water Ph'ed to 6.3 with 100ppm being from the water itself. After 24 hours in the glass of water, the seeds were placed onto a paper towel and moistened with the same RO water. Taproots were showing with in 2 days and were ready to be placed into the growing medium. (This diary was started on my second account, but I have decided to make this my main account)
We have Emergence!! with the larger of the two tap rooted seeds being the more explosive seedling, emerging 2 days before the second. numbers 1 and 2 are based off emergence date. both are showing healthy green leaves but with slight purpling of the stems starting showing Cal-Mag deficiency. Light is running around 300 PAR at the growing location for both seedlings. Water is RO water Ph'ed to 6.3 @ 70ppm for 250ml, Advanced Nutrients Cal-Mag Extra is being added at a slow rate until ppm reached 150, the water is then split between the two seedlings at 125ml each.
Week 2 is looking great! I have started full feedings every other day at a PPM of 800, I'm following the full feeding recommendations of the side of the AN bottles. my mix of feed is being mixed into 1L of RO water, starting with the Cal-Mag then Base nutes to avoid PH spikes. (recommended on a AN video), once all my nutrients are mixed into the water I PH down to bring to a 6.0. Water is then split and fed 500ml to each plant, 250ml on the top and 250ml bottom feed. I lowered the light to create a PAR rating of 450 at the growing site of each seedling. both plants are already showing slightly different Phenos, with one being a slightly slower grower, both seedlings looking really healthy and enjoy their feed days!
Both plants are now getting 1L of RO water with the feeding mixture every other day/ I also started doing a B52 foliar spray, using 2ml of B52 in 1L of RO water. NL#2 doesn't seem to like the foliar spray but #1 seems to be showing significant growth daily with the spray.
crazy how bushy these are getting! NL#1 seems to be growing as you watch it, and is getting bigger every day! NL#2 is defiantly the slower of the two growing but is looking super healthy, I'm thinking about topping the NL#2 this week to experiment and see if I can get is as big as #1, both aren't showing any signs of flowering. They are both getting 1L of RO water with the feeding mix every other day, 25% on top feed, 75% bottom feed.
These babies are just starting to take off! P1 is still the larger of the two but I have only LST this plant. P2 got topped at the start of the week, then LST towards the end and is starting to bush out a lot like P1. I'm thinking within a few days Pistils will be popping out and the plant will get their first Flowering feeding! 😁😍
I've noticed that my humidity in my tent reaches 70% during the night time, but drops to 57-60 in the daytime when the light is running, the increase only happens when the light is off, is there anything I should be worried about? the temp stays at 70-75 degrees 24/7
Are you running an extraction fan or just an internal one? An extraction fan would solve the excess humidity problem.
If you have a humidifier, switching it off at night would be my first idea, as cannabis does not really need extra humidity (at all), and certainly not at night.
After looking through your diary, I would suggest that you don't stop the grow nutrients too early, you really shouldn't start with the bloom nutrients until the flowers have formed small "tufts" of pistils or "budlets".
Certainly don't begin with just bloom nutrients when there are only preflowers/primordia on the stems, as your plant still needs adequate nitrogen in early flower. It is only third/half way through flowering that nitrogen requirements really drop off.
Hope this helps, Organoman.
Some strains are more resistant to high humidity that others. If you are growing a strain that is vulnerable to bud mold from high humidity then a dehumidifier should be considered.
The reason for your rise in humidity at night could be from your A/C not running asuch at night due to the drop in temp outside.
Central air conditioning in most houses will naturally dehumidify the air in the building. So running less at night could be the reason for the rise in humidity.
Hope this helps! ✌️
plants are finally into flower and I have also gotten my humidity problem fixed, unfortunately my Bluelabs PH pen had an issue and stopped working leading me to have 2 off PH watering's, you can tell with the thin twisted leaves that grew on the tops, but after getting a new one, I have been working to fix that problem. I am using the Sensi Grow for the first week of flower, before switching to the Sensi Bloom
