Thanks for taking a look! The Pruning Supervisor gets a treat for every like this entry gets ๐Ÿ˜ (F numbers in images = days since flipping to 12/12) I've been calling her Bush Jack now๐Ÿ˜‚ She's doing well, consistently growing ~0.5" (1.27cm) per day this week while stretching. Setting up to grow some real dense inflorescences. Still pruning here and there removing small branches and trying to keep fan leaves from blocking bud sights but... I have no idea what to do with this plant. Unless I don't like the bud i'll be growing this strain again in hopes I get more phenos that grow like this so I can learn how to do it right. D49 - 10" (25.4cm) tall D50 - didn't measure D51 - 11"tall D52 - 11.5" tall - adjusted LST a bit - - res change to flower formula (see image) D53 - 12" tall D54 - 12.5" D55 - 13" (33cm) **Issues** -My previous bud-set formula was not dialed in, not bad but I THINK the thinner, slightly yellowing base of new growth was a phosphorus excess antagonizing iron uptake. Should be fixed with flower formula? or when she settles down? waiting to see -Pruning, what the hell do I do with this bush? The nodes are SO tight than fan leaves and branches are just coming out everywhere, and a lot of branches are just not worth keeping. I left way too much on during veg, I know that for certain now. -Lights, I've been holding back light almost the entire grow now trying to get her to grow longer internodes... That didn't really work, it has be time to start blasting her soon right? maybe when her stretch starts to slow? or after a bigger defoliation next week, *shrug* -Need to get accurate white-balance set up for photos, new growth is an issue but isn't nearly as yellow as pictures. -Red petioles, not an issue just an observation. I had a little bit starting out but haven't seen much of it this run until now. Only effecting some of the tops where she's getting the most light so pretty sure we're good. **Nutes / pH** -She was slurping up EC 2 bud-set solution like a champ, Res even dropped to EC1.9 a few times before top-off. With the new solution and less leaves the res EC is increasing a little bit as she drinks. Going to target ~EC1.8 -Is this still and iron deficiency? new formula doesn't seem to be helping, not going to do anything drastic yet but will monitor. Maybe spike it with a little GH Micro since I want to avoid more phosphorus. -Anyone use nitric acid in DWC? Looking at getting 500ml of ~1M I took an educated guess on the available P from pH down, seems to be right to some degree now, which means I'm basically always going to be pushing higher P than I want. Been thinking I would like to have the option to adjust using half phosphoric/half nitric to give me even more P breathing room, there's plenty in the 5-12-26 and the extra N means I don't have to step up calcium so hard. **Training/Lights** -Lights are 85% @ 16" estimate DLI~ 37mol Other plant is starting to realize there's more light to have if she grows over this one ๐Ÿ˜‘ I don't want to scorch that plant and would love this bush to stretch up a bit more so, there's been reduced light for nearly the entire run so far, thinking that was not the right call. Either way, full send when the stretch is over.. -Tweaked LST slightly but I think that's about all I can do as far as spreading, main branches are now quite hard and packed with nodes.

Grow Questions

Absurdstarted grow question 3 years ago
This plump lil flower growing on a fan leaf is getting picked off and smoked when I see the first amber trichs, should I put it directly in a small jar with a 2way humidity pack? Trichomes seem to be aging faster than on normal inflorescence, touch slower than the ones on fans.

Looking nice, I thought I was looking at one of my own grows! You did the right thing by not panicking at a bit of older leaf die off, also I think the early topping is the smart move for a healthy plant. She'll always tend to be more bushy and stocky in hydro, but you get a better branch structure by topping at the third node.

@@Freddd, agreed on the bullshit in the community, you want to have a 2400% markup from ingredients just start a cannabis nutrient line with a stupid name. Do people really think that first shot looks better? I do see shots like that too but figure they just didn't care when they took it, can't make out any detail because the highlights are all blown out from the undiffused flash on the trichs.

@Absurd, also there is much bullshitting going on in the weed community, done through photos. For example I have just uploaded to more photos to Lemon Pie, take a look at the last two, the final shot show 3 pretty nice looking colas, but the shot before them is the same colas shot at the same time. One is shot on my new iPhone with standard lens and colour correction done with Camera M, and the other is shot on a D70 with a moderate tele and auto flash. The ones shot with the flash look completely and totally different, they look way more packed, but it's all an optical illusion the correct shot is the one on the iPhone, but if I had to put them bot up in a cola competition I'd use the shot that is less accurate but looks way better.

@@Freddd, as far as I understand you got it right, all you want are the gland heads, not even the stalks, so the whole goal for the best hash would be as little friction as possible of the plant matter so it doesn't break into pieces small enough to fit through the final filtering screen. Frenchy goes on about letting almost all of the ice melt so there's just a tiny bit left to hammer the plant when he turns on the washer to agitate. That's why I freaked out at first at that dry ice video because it looked like he was really going at it with super dry crumbly plant, thought it was going to turn into the kief I get out of my grinder. That said, I agree his results look WAY good enough to justify saving a shit ton of time and effort doing the cold water Frenchy method. 500% more work to get that extra last 5% of quality kinda thing ๐Ÿ˜„

@Absurd, ikr the conditions hella different and whole different strains. ๐Ÿ˜… But the thing was its nice to compare someone elses proggy to your own which is basicly at the same stage - at least close to each other. Even tho yours probs going to mature faster cuz u growing in hydro. Anyway both on early stage/pre-flowering stage right now which is IMO the most interesting part. You start to get the picture what kind of ladies u pull out ๐Ÿ˜Ž

@Verbalist, Thank you! I've been doing the same thing looking at all the other black jack and hydro grows. I guess just keep in mind we're growing different genetics in 100% different conditions ๐Ÿ˜› You got some real nice growth with that veg light in soil, one of these days I need to try some northern lights, hear nothing but good things. Hoping for continued good health to all our ladies! ๐Ÿ‘Š

@ManicMiner, thank you so much! Have to give most of the credit to genetics though. This pheno grew just right for training in a bubbler bucket without trellising, see my other plant for a horror show of training ๐Ÿ˜† Ooof, I'm chopping today so counting from 12/12 I'm at the end of week 13 of flower and it's only ~80-90% cloudy ๐Ÿ˜‘ think sweet seeds says 9 weeks on this one.

Coming along well, a bit of leaf stress is not a big deal at the top. I agree in turning the lights down, or even better putting them further away if possible instead. I am finding an improvement since I've raised my pH, used to keep it around 5.7 to 6, but now I'm in the range of 6-6.2
Freddd
Freddd
@Absurd, yes, both my seedsman and seedsman#2 grows have been getting an average higher pH, I too hesitated for ages, I've heard some rational explanation why it's 6.5 in soil but 5.8 in hydro, but while 5.8 won't harm them, neither will 6.3 and higher is better if it doesn't harm the plant, and it doesn't. With the light, I go by my cheap lux meter now. 50k LUX for flowering is fine, and also on both my grows I have kept the lights at a decent distance, especially so with the QB96 because it's 185W and compact, with a flat panel light 14" would be fine.

@@@Freddd, ~33cm high seems to be nice even canopy coverage (~ 60cm x 50cm) with these panels, I know they pump more spicy photons in the direct center but seems like a win if I can get similar dli to raising them, but with less electricity and heat. I keep thinking I want to try >pH 6 with these, my purple haze responded well to that late in flower, and now it would help me drop the P concentration which would be nice. Certainly worth a shot if this plant keeps getting that kind of necrosis, but that could have been a few other things. Are you seeing improvement on all your plants? or was that how you finished the lemon pie?
