Sorry Fam,
A lot of shit has happened these last few weeks---my sister died and I just haven't been able to update this. Let me catch up now.
11/7/21
Sour Diesel #1 - 2 gallons of 6.5 PH water 1182&1186 PPM per gallon
Afghan Kush #3 - 2 gallons of 6.5 PH water 1182 PPM per gallon
Afghan Kush #4 - 2 gallons of 6.5 PH water 1291 PPM per gallon
Sour Diesel #2 - 2 gallons of 6.5 PH water 1146&1252 PPM per gallon
Since I only have 1 gallon containers, I have to mix each gallon separately with the nutrients, and then giving each plant 2 gallons each. In a few cases, the PPM magically came out to the same in these 1 gallon containers, and others had variant PPM's after mixture (as noted above)). Right now I am mixing in the following into each 1 gallon container:
3 ML Grow Big
2 ML Cal Mag
4 ML Big Bloom
4 ML Liquid Seaweed
11/13/21 Gave each plant 2 gallons of water only at 6.5 PH (no nutrients)
11/17/21
My new grow tent 60x60x80 has arrived! I've transferred all the plants into the grow tent, trimmed them all down because they've been vegging for so long they were too big. Also did some slight LSTing today to try to spread the branches out. Took new clones from all the plants. Planning to give these girls a few days of healing from all the trimming I did today, and then I'll flip them by the end of this week. After moving the girls into the tent, I moved the 5 successful clones I previously had into the closet, with 100% happy frog soil and still in starter cups (planning to transplant these into 1 gallon pots soon).
The new clones are in the little "clone tent." This time I'm doing the clones with peat instead of rockwool, hoping for better success.
All pictures shown above are from this same day!
UPDATE: FLIPPED THE GIRLS TO 12-12 ON 11/18/19!
Hey! Happy growing my friend! I hope you do well and get some good results! I will come by sometime to see your progress! Keep on growing!
If you ever visit my page please say hello!
Peace & love L.S.T 🌟❤️🔥
@Rodamis_Prime, thanks!! I managed to make more room above between the lights and these huge plants, and hoping I don't run out of room before harvest lol
@sativaman, They were much more sensitive than the other strain since the beginning, but I've learned through this process that the Cal Mag REALLY helped it. I tried everything else and I think that's what it needed this entire time.
Kindly offering my sympathies to you.
Gonna have to flip lights on those huge plants!! They are almost at the highest for this tent! Do you plan to put them out??? Expect 2-3 times stretch after 12-12.
@mariharam, Hey I am a total noob so take this with a grain of salt!
First, I am really sorry to hear about your sister.
I was just in a grow shop yesterday and they sold me some potassium silicate to help strengthen stems and branches during the last few weeks of vegetative and the first few weeks of bloom.
In addition to strengthening the stems, they also referred to it as a "stretch stopper" as the stems tend to get more girthy rather than tall.
The idea being that flowers will only grow to be as big as the stems can support. So if you end up with a shorter stout plant, you should have bigger buds.
@sativaman,Trying to figure that out. I wanted to give em a few days to recover because I just chopped off like over a foot from the tops because they were so big, and I didn't flip them two weeks ago like I had planned because of all that shit happening with the family. Hmmm I do have the closet still which gives me an extra foot I can swap them back into if I have to, but I think I'm going to cut the recover time and just flip them in a day or two.
