Week 11 (Day 70) with the Skunk #1. Today I cleaned the tank, decided to give them one more growing week and made a new water mix with Gen200 and all the other fertilizers. I will be uploading new pictures every day as I did all the weeks before. Njoy them pictures and smell what you see π Because of the fresh water in the tank the temp of it is only around 20Β° C. And because of the high temps inside the tent I placed an iced bottle inside. Will check the min/max temps tomorrow.
Day 71: Today I ph'ed down too much (5.4), then I added 10l pure water to clear the ph again and ph'ed it down again to 5.4 π©π©π© I hope the plants won't take it too bad. The iced water bottle inside the tent helped a little but the temps outside went down a little bit (max 31.8Β° instead of 32.2Β°) so it 's possible that the outside temp was responsible for the "inside the tent temp". All in all the blossoms look good and are pretty full and hard. The leafes under the Kind LED feel hard 'n'try but they get enough water. Some leafes are really easy to break down but for some leafes the plants fight hard as funk... Two weeks to go. π
Day 72: The EC went up to 2.15 again the ph is at 5.8 - water temp is ok for the moment (under 25Β° C). Added some Purolyt to get rid of the strange smell from the tank. I think it is from the Gen200 but I cannot say it for sure. Could be any organic fertilizer and I am really not sure which fertilizer is organic and which one is not. Will add more water tomorrow morning.
Day 73: Added fresh cold water today and the EC went down to 1.8 - temp is under 25Β° so everything is ok. Ph is at 5.7
Day 74: Wanted to start flushing today but when I saw how much water was left in the tank I decided to give them plants more of this watermix.When the tank is more empty I will start flushing, so about one or two days. EC is at 1.9 which seems okay to me. Ph is 5.5
Day 75: Alright, I didn't do anything today except checking the ph and EC. ph 5.7 EC 2.15. Tomorrow will be first day of flushing (with Canna Flush) and after that they will only be getting pure ph corrected water with Atazyme. And then it is only 1one week to go. So excited! π

Grow Questions
Hilkes_Herbsstarted grow question 6 years ago
Is superscrogging in the beginning of the flowertime (1st week) (very) bad for the plants? They grew to high and I had no other chance to get them more away from the LED light. Iβve had burned flower (like an albino)

No they will be fine and recover. It may slow growth by a day or so but that would be about it. Good luck on your grow!
Hilkes_Herbsstarted grow question 6 years ago
I found one leaf that has some serious problems (Day 72 last picture - single leaf). We have to weeks to go and I do not panic. But I wanna know if this is a problem with anything or just their lifespan. Many leafes under the Kind LED feel very dry and burned but look different π

Hi @CloserB! Plant was overfed in the past, I can tell by looking at the burnt tips. Your room is a little bit overcrowded and your plants were not pruned enough, some parts cannot get enough light, and as you probably know, light helps in absorbing the nutrients. As a result, the lower leaves of the plant are slowly dying and the lower buds will remain small. However, I wouldn't worry too much at this stage, as mentioned by others, you're really close to the finish line, she should naturally start to fade and yellowing will spread everywhere, that's a normal thing and it will help in finding the harvest window. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! π

@Larimar, yup, that's what I meant. 440 would be awesome! Last harvest has "only" been about 190g dry. So Anything over 200 would be nice. Anything over 300 would be awesome π

@Norwin, it's an automatic watering system. It takes 20 minutes to give them 200ml water. Tbh I don't have a runoff but I was told before to do so. Have to think about it tonight and fix it somehow tomorrow to prevent any problems. The timer has impulse (how long should the watering take) and interval, daytime and nighttime is fully controlable. I try to simulate "normal nature" around them by changing the watering times from time to time.

@Hilkes_Herbs, just be sure that you have at least 10%/20% runoff when you feed. I don't exceed 1.8EC for either veg or bloom. I prefer to mix of 70% coco and 30% perlite... Plants seem to like it more. I only water once a day around 15% of the total volume of the pot. Never had any trouble.

Yo @Hilkes_Herbs - I see you're doing the CO2 - just a couple of Qs (asking for a friend ;-) )
a. Is your grow room perfectly airtight ?
b. how did you calculate how much you need ?
c. does it work ?
d. does it reduce temp ?
I'm new to all this that why... looking good so far for you though!

Hi Bulbi,
thank you for your kind words! I cannot answer all of your questions but I can give explanations about it.
a. no, it's not, it is a 80x80x180cm grow tent and it has open holes. But: CO2 is heavier than air and will fall down. Plus the wind of the fans (I use 2) does circle the air enough to give all them plants (5) some CO2
b. I did not calculate it because the box is small. Also the bags are cheaper and last longer than direct CO2. I would NOT recommend this direct CO2 as a hobby grower because it will cost you a lot of money! They say a direct CO2 thing lasts for 1 month. My bag lasts at least for 6 months
c. pretty hard to say, honestly. Why is it hard to say? Because I think you can only see the difference with and without CO2 if your grow conditions are exactly the same! I grow so many different strains I cannot tell if it is "really" working. But it works for me I think I have beneftis from it (more harvest in the end hopefully). At least the plants grow VERY VERY fast this time which can be also caused by the CO2! But I changed some things in the box, it's inlikely the CO2 is the main factor why they grow so fast, the biggest thing was changing the substrate. I have always used soil before and this time is my first time with coco (and I f*cking love it!!!!)
d. no it does not. BUT: The plants can stand higher temperatures, the books and internet say 32Β° C is ok with CO2. Lowering the temperature in my box was one of the biggest problems I had in this grow. When the light (LED) was on during the daytime I have had max temps of 33+ degrees. I changed it then from daytime to nighttime which helped a lot with the high temperatures. And as they grew bigger and bigger they produce more shadows and the heat also dropped some more.
If I was wrong in anything (I am no professional though) please correct me! I like knowledge about what I am doing! π
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask them.
Cheers
Closer

@Larimar, thank you man! I have been growing for a while but there is improvement with every grow! I always made mistakes during any grow but the outcome was usually okay. Still I'm learning something new with every grow. It's one of the best hobbies a man can have! π
I can highly recommend this strain! Let's me kinda do whatever I wanna and it still keeps on growing.
