Starting the seeds off in a grow tent indoors until they hit vegetation phase, when I will move them to the greenhouse. I have a bluetooth thermostat that connects to an app so I can check the temp and humidity remotely. There is also an alert feature where you can set a temperature range and it notifies you if it goes higher or lower than this. Using the Darmai 40w light in the grow tent on a 20/4 light schedule, set to blue spectrum. Humidity in tent was hitting 90% so I added a small 6 inch fan and a humidity pouch to absorb some of the extra water. Water is PH 7.5, 220 ppm and temperature 22C when watering. Only watering around the seedling. Soil was PH 6.5 at time of planting and is now averaging 7.0 PH. No nutrients added this week as there are enough in the soil to last the first 2 weeks. 22 Aug (day 1): Planted in a 20L airpot with Biobizz light mix soil. Ophelia had a 2cm tap root so I made a hole in the centre of the soil to accommodate the length. She still had the seed case on top, which was planted just under the surface. 23 Aug (day 2): She broke through the surface of the soil. 24 Aug (day 3): Took her out to the greenhouse today as the sun was shining. Thought some natural light and fresh air would be good for her. I've read that sunlight is still the best light for them where possible. 28 Aug (day 7): End of week 1. She is a lovely emerald green colour, healthy leaves and around 8cm high.

It’s overcast here today and I’m wondering if I should turn my grow lights on to compensate for the lack of direct sunlight. If so, should I drop the intensity to compensate for the additional natural light? Can you overdo the amount of light (not heat) a plant gets?

Hi fellow grower, Short answer long. Yes you can! Plants can experience light burn where the leaves are bleached on the tips where the light has been too intense. More often than not it comes with heat stress too. It will not hurt your plants to add more light and you're right to be cautious about intensity. Trial and error is the best way to learn. Set it up on 50% intensity and watch how your plants respond. Every plant is different, they all have their own characteristics and needs. I hope this helps, good luck with your grow...

How do you measure a plants height after you LST? It’s shorter now as it’s bent over?!

Which ever way you prefer - The plant I chopped 2 weeks ago was 38cm from soil to tip of cola measuring along the stem...it was about 20cm from soil to top in a straight line, It gave 60g dry which, in my opinion, is the only real measurement you need accurate 😊

Is it normal for the pistons to be going orange/brown at this stage? She is an Orange bud so not sure if its that?

Your ph is high if your at 7. Early reddening/browning of pistols, is a sign that her food is a little high. I like to see my pistols stay white/vibrant until the 5th to 6th week of flowering. If you have your feed a little low to proper, then the pistols stay white until at least the 5th week of actual flower. In my many yrs of growing I have overfed under fed and always see the same results when overfed. Underfed will still give you big beautiful buds, but overfed, the total harvest will suffer.

Noticed these on the main stem and another branch of my plant today. Is it a hermie and what do I do if she’s been pollinated? She looks to have really big buds already too!

No those are calyx. That is what will make a seed if she gets polinated. The look like a teardrop with white/red hairs coming out. A male pollen sac will be oval with no hairs. The other is a "bannana" will be yellow and look like two small bannana's easy to spot as they are yellow. Happy Growing

Hi there! I saw you mention high heat in your greenhouse. What's your setup look like? Are you able to vent out the heat at all?
greenhousegrowgirl

@happykat, thank you! Yes, I’m pleased with the set up, but I draw the line at buying an air conditioner for the greenhouse 🤣 I’m out there several times a day, but it’s hardly a chore really, I love it. So once in the morning to open the curtains and the side vents, then once during the day to check on them and finally again in the evenings to put them under the lamps and draw the curtains. That’s when I take a big watering can and wet the floor, so only once a day. It’s just been bad the last couple of days as it’s been so hot. That’s why I started autos in autumn to be fair. I knew summer would be too much work with the heat.

@greenhousegrowgirl, Such a cool setup! I see what you mean about the difficulty in controlling the heat, though. How often do you find yourself in the greenhouse trying to cool it down, create humidity, etc.? Luckily, you said it was cooling down in general, so hopefully, you're not out there too often trying to turn on the cooler/heater combo unit.

Hopefully you figure out a solution to the excessive humidity. I love how much problem-solving skills come into play with gardening haha

@greenhousegrowgirl, Do you think you'll have to run the humidifier as much as the seasons change and cool off a bit? Going well! I hope that I'm addressing a potential nutrient deficiency and possible pest problems, but apart from that, everything else is good.😄

@happykat, yep all good mate. Applied the exit hose to the back of the dehumidifier and now I don’t need to empty the tank 😀 Working so far and humidity is stable again. How’s your grow going?

Your LST looks a lot like mine! Maybe we're doing it correctly haha everything is looking great! I haven't really defoliated the pink kush yet, since I'm still watching it recover from topping. How much did you defoliate and how did you go about that?
happykat
happykat
@greenhousegrowgirl, I've also read that cutting off half a leaf (across the vein) is another way to defoliate without causing so much stress. Might be worth a shot!
greenhousegrowgirl

@happykat, well I started by taking off big leaves that were covering the little nodes and preventing light. Then I read it can be detrimental as it stresses the plant! They seem ok, but I’ve waited for her to get a lot more leaves til I did it again 🙈 I try and tuck the leaves underneath now instead.

You can dry your Ophelia in your tent during the grow. Use your cleaned airpot. It's dark and has good airflow. Use paper or anything else as lit. I do se same, works well. If you let your ventilator the wind scratches the air pot, its good.
