The 10th Planet by Ethos

lottawonka Spray bottle to keep soil damp as it dries from air circulation & evaporation. Pretty simple process. Watch and feel the leaves to get a handle on the watering schedule. Check the weight of the cup as you adjust water additions so you’ll know about how it feels when properly watered.

lottawonka Watering until runoff every 2-4 days monitoring medium moisture, cup weight, leaf color, leaf stiffness, and leaf moisture. Transplanted to 5 gallon bag. *Recommend using rock in bottom, soil in the middle, and 50/50 soil/loose no nute top layer in bag to minimize cost, enhance drainage and air flow, and assist root development.

lottawonka Watered where the root plug was transplanted 3 days a week monitoring leaves and soil. *Recommend adding nutrients at the level your nutrient line recommends and seek out breeder and strain specific information.

lottawonka Trained to the side. Watering schedule hasn’t needed adjustment. *Recommend allowing plant to develop about 2-4” over radius of the bag before training to help prevent stunting growth. The flexibility surprised me.

lottawonka Increased watering to 1/2 quart every 2-3 days with veg nutrients. Defoliation. *Recommend to not defoliate really any closer than 3-5 nodes below tops to help avoid stunting growth.

lottawonka Seemed to have rebounded and filled back in more than I had expected. Rearranged bags to free space for the new growth (upper-left) *Recommend elevating bags on drainage surface and use something to catch runoff for checking EC and recycle/waste at minimum (various setups with various costs so can choose the right option for your needs)

lottawonka No significant changes from the previous week. *Grow Diary 10th Planet (upper left) others pictured are The 10th Planet (upper right) Starfighter (lower left) FPOG (lower right)

lottawonka Increased watering amount to 0.5 gallons daily. Lollipop defoliation. Using nutrients 2 days per week. *Removed males Starfighter & FPOG

lottawonka No significant changes *Recommend cutting out veg nutrient when flip to flower. I’m not for sure at this point if running the veg nutrient a little into flower cycle is okay or not in order to achieve optimal results.

lottawonka Noticed abnormal burn to fan leaf tips. I was still running my veg nutrient at this time and was attempting to push the nutrients with no method to verify. Stopped adding any nutrients and purchased ec meter from bluelab. *Recommend using at minimum EC Meter to check runoff. Then play around with nutrients once you have something to check slurries.

lottawonka Flushed both bags 10 gallons a piece to get ec down from 4.8 to 0.7 and waited nervously to see if the run was going to require harvesting with only 60% milky trichs. *Recommend using a jewelry loupe for checking trichs

lottawonka Increased watering to 1 gallon per day for sort of a flush watering effect. Thankfully the nutrient burn effect on the leaves stopped spreading. Removed damaged leaves and got to move forward with an experience. *Recommend pre-planning drainage method for your grow space and grow plans suitable to your needs.

lottawonka No significant changes in the past week. Reduced watering back to 0.5 gallons per day. Trichs are all milky with about 5% amber per viewing area checking all flowers so will probably harvest next week and not get the 8-10 week bulk I’d like to.

lottawonka Very happy with my first top shelf attempt. It’s good for stress relief and unwinding with a movie but won’t induce sleep by itself. The flowers and fade I got to see were neat and gave me what I’m looking at in the current run of Banana Daddy and Skunk Hero.
