Hello, growers! Let's begin! Let me introduce you my real-time grow report. For growing I use:
- Chronic fem (Serious Seeds), growroom is 1.5m2
- Carbon filter 1000m3
- SPC controller
- 6 x 26 l boxes with substrate (mapito)
- Blower fan
- 2 humidifiers
- thermo-hygrometer
- 85l of solution
Nutrients:
- Nutri Nova A+B
- Mono Ca-5% (Canna)
- PK-13/14 (ANA- B)
- ANA-Roots
- Bio-Nova X-Cel
- Hesi Supervit
The first week (0.4 ЕС, РН 5.6) was gone..
Flooding watering every 3 days at 1/3 of the height of the boxes. For those who like to use the calculator - NPK from bottles (А) 11-4-5+11Са+1Mg0, (B) 3-4-5+1 MgO
Seven days were gone after switching on the light regime of 12/12. Side branches have added considerably to growth. It's time for the first time to fertilize plants with phosphorus, all the more they have already wanted it (redness of the stem). But before they've starved for 8 hours. Boxes with mapito have become lungs and plant leaves have slightly lowered.
In solution, nothing has changed cardinally:
Refill water (0.2 EC) to the tank (proportion is 8l osmotic + 2l from the tap) to the level of 100l. Add A + B to 1.5EC and PK 1314 15ml to 100l, X-Cel 1ml, Supervit.
As a result, the EC 1.6, pH 5.8. After flooding the EC 1.6, pH 5.9
They drank 30 liters. In the morning, shrubs have flowered.
The 14th day of light mode 12/12
Mesh was set for cola’s support. Now waiting when the nearest chronices will grow to distant plants and will reach the grid. Among 5 seeds 4 have different phenotype.
The concentration of PK in the solution increases to 30ml per 100l, the rest is unchanged.
Hello friends and enemies. Once again about the solution:
- 0.1ЕС water
- Canna Ca 0.3
- Bio-Nova A+B 1.6 ЕС
- РК 1314 45ml/100l
- Bio-Nova X-Cel 1ml/1l
- Hesi Supervit
The final concentration: 1.75ЕС (875ррм), РН 5.8. The return: 1.8ЕС (900ррм), РН 5.8
Chronics develop differently. Among the 5 seeds only one is worker phenotype. I talked about it earlier.
Explain about the phenotypes... It's no secret that the same plants from one seed pack are obtained rare. Chronics is a good strain, but you need a huge share of luck to find the perfect Super Keeper of phenotype. Though 5 seeds are not an indicator (better to plant 20-30), but on the basis of this cycle we can do conclusions. Don't trust the sellers of seeds. That they write in the description of the strain often doesn’t match the result. Popular brand of seedbank doesn't mean quality. If you want to have always stable and good harvest, plant a lot of regulars and select your own keeper.😉
Photo's description:
1. The first phenotype is very weak, with thin central cola and big distance between buds. It is not worthy to be called Chronic.
2. The second phenotype is shorter, will bloom longer, most likely turn out a medium-sized cones, but not bad fill branches from the top to the bottom. More too early to say, still the middle of flowering, but it is clear that it isn’t the Super Keeper.
3. The third phenotype is chunky shorty, looks funny, with thick trunk, branches grow very densely, It will turn out short and thick cones, that will bloom longer, this plays into the hands.
4. The fours phenotype is statistically average plant, a good central cola, finish flowering earlier than the others, for 5-7 days. Looks good in general, the structure of cones corresponds to strain.
The fifth phenotype is different from all others. Long, big central cola, dense structure of cones. At the end it will make good "calyx". It's a good choice for keeper.
It's time to add potassium gradually .
The solution:
0.1ЕС water
Са 0.3ЕС
А+В 1.6ЕС
РК 1314 80ml/100l
Моnо К20- 20% 20ml/100l
As a result 2.0ЕС, РН 5.8
I raised the level of the solution to 130 l instead of 100 l, to flood boxes higher and pumped more oxygen through the roots.
The return 2.07ЕС, РН 5.8
Ate 30 l.
As I said earlier, some bushes bloom faster than others, but you can't get away during seed’s cultivation. Feed all the same, anyway. There is no such problems with clones. Chronic blooms 70 days. So, about 3 weeks to set weight.
Few photos, we will look together how potassium will change the structure of the cones.
Time of harvest has come. Not all chronices petrified. One, the smallest, could still stand 5 days, but I didn't delay Harvest for the sake of the one. Calyxes are all right, you can see. I'll be honest with you, in this cycle I haven’t gotten a decent phenotype.
As a result the largest chronic is quite airy and light. The rest of the Chronics look smaller, but weigh more. The summer will be hot, so the next report will do in the fall.😄
At the end of flowering, the cones become heavy, grid supports them. It will be easier to tie branches to the grid than to the ceiling. This growroom was done for clones, just this time there are bushes, and clones safely pass through the mesh and hold themselves. From boxes to mesh 60cm.
Hey. I didn’t cut at the vegetative stage . Last week I cut the leaves first time. Now is the time to repeat the procedure. Floods’s schedule 1 every 3 days. During the vegetative stage it was lower level flooded , because plants didn't drink all high volume. The temperature during the day is 28-30 C, the night - 20-22C. In the winter I have the war with humidity. Daytime humidity is 40% . At night it is 20-30%, because simultaneously humidifiers operate and heaters dry. If I remove the heating, the humidity will be OK, but the night temperature will drop to 18C, which is extremely undesirable.
Fresh air comes passively from the next room where the window is constantly opened. I came to the conclusion that in the large grow-room the support of the desired climate is much easier, than in my 1.5m2.
Hi, you organized it great, well done, there are a few questions for you. Is it first defoliation? Did you do anything with plants, did you cut it at the vegetative stage? Do you flood it more now? What is the ventilation setup?
Yes, plants want phosphorus, I increase the PK every week: 15-30-45-60-75-100ml/100l. This fertilizer for vegetative stage + PK. I absolutely don't reduce nitrogen.
It is clear it isn’t SCROG, but branches are short, 60 cm, will be 70 cm. You think without mesh they will fall down and they will have to be tied up? Or, this necessity for clones, not for bushes?
How many days will be blooming?
Most of clones and branches fall down without mesh. The damage from the grid will not be, it doesn't delay light.
Minimum 20 days of blooming, but we'll see.
I didn't add the coconut crumb. In my purchase mapito were some pieces of coconut. They look like trash, I do not think, they are useful. I haven't had salting because I flooded only a third part of all substrate (where the roots). + Feeding exactly the concentration, as plants requested themselves, neither more nor less. If mapito is watered from the top, it will be salted for a week…and you will have to wash it. I’m not sure such flooding will work with coconut. I mean, not sure, coconut will be able to keep the solution so long like mineral wool and to provide sufficient ratio for the solution-air like foam. But you try, it will give you an understanding of many processes.
