5 Sep (day 15): Start of week 3 and Ophelia Orange Bud is continuing to grow very well and is looking healthy. 7 Sep (day 17): Today the temperatures hit 28C and the greenhouse temperature hit 39C! Luckily I had taken her out in the morning and put her on a table in the garden so she could take advantage of direct sunlight and a breeze. The greenhouse doesn't get direct sunlight until midday, but when it did, it was far too hot anyway. She had dried up completely by the end of the day due to the heat in the garden so I fed her using week 1 of the Biobizz nutrient schedule at 1/2 of the recommended dose. Given I am approaching the end of week 1 of the nutrient feeding schedule, I increased the dosage from 1/4 to 1/2. I will start on week 2 of the nutrient feeding schedule for her next feed. 8 Sep (day 18): Going to be another hot day, so I've taken her out of the greenhouse and put her in direct sunlight and she is enjoying a light breeze. I'm conscious the humidity out in the garden will be lower than the recommended range, but she will still have 14 hours in the greenhouse at the right humidity and thats still preferable to frying her to a crisp in a 40C greenhouse! 9 Sep (day 19): Ophelia is doing well and still growing 2 sets of nodes. I have no idea whether she is on track size wise as this is my first grow. Nonetheless, I have decided to start some gentle LST today. As she has no large branch nodes, I thought it best to start gently at this stage and tighten it daily but any comments/tips welcome 😬 Its very overcast today, so I was worrying whether she would get enough light as there is unlikely to be very little direct sunlight. I asked a question and the advice given was to put the light on but decrease the intensity to allow for additional daylight. I’ve moved Wanda and Orla out to the greenhouse to join their sisters today. I’m going away for the weekend and the greenhouse is more self sufficient than the grow tent. My main worry is keeping the humidity high enough, as the dehumidifier will stop it getting too high, but won’t stop it getting too low. I’m anxious to leave them of course, but not much I can do. 10 Sep (day 20): Can’t believe how quick these plants respond to LST! I had to keep tying it tighter as the top turns upwards so quickly. I ended up removing one leaf to allow the nodes better access to the light. Today was the first day I walked into the greenhouse and the smell was prominent…very exciting! It’s been a week since I started nutes, so I gave her week 2 of the Biobizz schedule today which introduces the fish mix. Still not sure how much water to give them 🤔 it’s been 3 days since the last watering and she was now dry on top. I gave a litre of water this time, rather than 0.5l and am hoping it’s enough. I’m away for the weekend so left all 4 girls in the greenhouse and am feeling anxious. Wishing I had a remote camera to check in on them with 🤣 11 Sep (day 21): End of week 3 and away for the weekend. Hoping the girls are doing ok 😰 NOTE: Nutrient amount is the total amount of nutes given during the week.

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
greenhousegrowgirlcommented3 years ago
@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

happykatcommented3 years ago
@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
happykatcommented3 years ago
@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
greenhousegrowgirlcommented3 years ago
@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.
