Aug 21 - this week starts with increasing watering volumes. -plants are working on 4-5th sets of leaves and a Topping is in the near future for these Ladies Aug 22 - dinner of 1.75 L for the plants tonight - starting to plan the Topping now that the plants r working on the 4th’n 5th set of leaves Aug 23rd - plants are doing really well -macro shots tonight ahead of Topping - Foliar spray at lights-out 24th - just before lights out & Foliar application, I noticed that the upper leaves of the Congo specifically, had the lengthwise edges almost touching. Too Hot if I recall and the light was raised 4”. Perfect timing, new laser thermometer arrives tomorrow. Close call I think - I’ve got to start recording height here b4 I top them. They are growing - Kelp Meal (50%) being scratched into the surface of each plant, ahead of tomorrow’s feeding. Its a Monthly - next meal of nutes is 2 Litres; posted above ( if the soils ready ) 25th - topped both plants in the wee hours. Healthy and each was growing a 6th node, so they were chopped. Of course cotyledon leaf and 1st serrated leaf were removed. I ended up cutting node 1 off, (which was really healthy!) and using healthy node 2 & 3 - fed 2 Litres ea. p.m. (2.5 next) Aug 26 - used some rubber-wire to hold Congo in place, N.M. is just a bit behind - next meal posted above @ 2.5 L, nutrient content going Up^ Aug 27th - Last day week 2 Yehaw !! Ladies look strong, big impressive leaves reaching across the pots. - adjusting grow-lights because of Leaf Surface temp. Starting a little project featuring Random, non temp-Interfering observations ie: open zip just enough to see set-point/temp and then read leaf temp… zip-up, not letting room environment change for 24 hours. I'll generate an average for conditions with this Temp set-point & new adjusted height. The study involves lowering cmh light to increase a desired leaf temp to its ideal and most efficient temp. Above a certain temp, leaves physically cannot respire or breath (CO2 conversion) and then Fail to carry-out the biggie: Photosynthesis. Temp swings within a heating system, you know... a 5-6 degree temperature swing, could put your plants into a 2 hour period where they simply are producing zero, cuz its too hot... Goal; maybe finding a higher position/lower leaf temp, that brings constant results - Most efficient for the plants, as it stands is to keep the top leaf Lower than Room Temp. ~ 2.0 degrees Thats the notion I’m working with… my Congo just showed another incident of leaf roll aka Light Stress! And yep, my leaf temp was matching the actual 27.5c room temp. B4 lights out I lifted the lite 2” and shut them off a little early to help the plant - (n2 deficiency is something I'm looking into as well, with regard to leaf roll) - going to sniff around locally for a device to make a map of the hot zones see if I can reposition plants accordingly - daily Foliar feed might have cooled them a bit at lites-out, so they were fed and are not crispy! - temp survey starts just in (phukn) time; tonight. 4 categories. CMH 315 Distance; BULB to Plant top leaf, Tent temp Set/Pt, Actual Tent-Temp shown & Top fan leaf(s) temperature. - INCREASED EXHAUST FLOW 1 NOTCH TO HELP MOVE "HOT AIR" and make it a little friendlier to start.

Has the Male plant found a month ago, ruined the rest of the Tents plants? Since the Green Mountain Grape was found to be a male, the entire tent has gone into Pause, without Herms or other obvious signs showing up. The plant was removed immediately but the tent is lagging

hey there, looks like it's either an unstable genetics problem or that these simply take really really long in flower. cant imagine it being for a different reason

@sativaman, excited that the clock is ticking. FYI I used two different styles, and I think I like the simplicity of the durban poison’s method; 1 less topping = 16 colas. I’d never carried either of them out till this side-by-side.

@sativaman, morning. This plants too healthy to pull the plug. No NannerS visible. Straight ahead

@1Right_Angle, I would believe that a few nanners by themselves have no impact on THC here. Well, not like if it is a significant part of the colas that are plain male flowers .. I think it affects THC when the plant gets pollinated so at this point she focus her energy on seeds. I wouldn't worry much about that being an issue: our friend Highroller had a seeded crop of his Congo but still was awesome smoke. Same for me.

I did not realised time was passing by and you were at week 8 since flip. No chance this is from removing a male. If you really are posting weekly updates this is not normal. Since start of flowering, I felt like your congo was unusual: with longer but not abundant white hairs and not showing promising colas as seen before. I would suggest you send an e-mail to ACE with details and pictures. Almost every grow I end up sending them a question, and they always respond, are very friendly, useful and upfront.

@sativaman, what a straight-arrow idea! I will let the source know of this Anomaly and open the doors to discussion (and reason) Pictures in an hour when lites go on, and I’ll post a few for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for taking the time and speaking out on this topic Brother. The concept of re-vegging is cool, glad it was a thought ha, but to what end if somethings gone sideways already.

Looking really healthy - your congo is so well behaved compared to mine, I can't wait to see how she develops!
1Right_Angle
1Right_Angle
@wrongleverkronk, that would be a fine situation for me; restricted airflow. There are little to none obstructions with this low-grow. Things are getting a little closer, with the grow beginning to go Vertical, but there is room galore. Taking a good LOOK TONIGHT, will keep you posted.
wrongleverkronk
wrongleverkronk
@1Right_Angle, I have used Plant Magic "Bio-silicon" in the past - I think it did help, but in later grows I also think it was the cause of pH issues - it has a very high pH so something to keep an eye on. I honestly think airflow is the best way to stronger branches, but often that's easier said than done!
1Right_Angle
1Right_Angle
@wrongleverkronk, Thanks for checking-in. I am looking at how narrow/frail/thin some of the branches are and I am checking into some Silicon-based branch strengtheners. I can't wait either, its just the long part of the cycle and I'm looking for problems. Good Luck at your end Growmie

Hallo friend, you removed the male at week #3 right? I should have thought you caught it early enough and I had a look at your green grape diary and counld't see any suggestion of open pollen sacs but I can't really think of reasons for it stalling? Can you see any seeds actually developing? I've had some seeded grows in the past (intentional and accidental!) and I was able to spot the swelling part of the plant which contained the seeds (is it the calyx? Biology lessons were a long time ago at this stage of my life). Also what are your night time temperatures like? I've had plants that were later in flower stall because of low night temps.

@1Right_Angle, Canadian eh? :) Well, you've covered all my ideas so I have no idea! Catching up with other comments I see you've already got some other good advice - I really hope you can sort it out, fingers crossed!
1Right_Angle
1Right_Angle
@wrongleverkronk, WLK thanks for the msg. No pollen was released that I knew of. It was still developing. No signs of seeds on the 3 plants in question Here in the “Peoples Republic of Ontario” I run my lights at Nite-time, so a really base average is 25-26 on the room. There are no Calyx’s in development at all. Plan is to change-up the meal plan, trying to boost metabolism. A K deficiency could be behind the Leaf damage and I’m lowering food pH and amending the soil to add some Nutrients. Getting rid of my CMH, today, for a sweet LED and we’ll see if some concentrated, cooler light has an impact in a weeks time Thats where I am right now Brother
