Super specific question: since our flat is old af, we use ovens for heating. They produce alot of Ash and this way of heating doesnt dry the air at all. Anyone else with these circumstances? What are your experiences?
you wont have any issues due to the ash or the oven, just a few things will be different. First off the humidity will persist even during flower, this is actually a good thing but you do want to control pests and mould, i do suggest getting something called bacilus thuriengiensis at the garden shop, these are microbes that eat mold and pests . Second this is that the ash might get on the weed. this is no major , but you might want to check out a technique called bud washing for when you harvest, this is the best way to cure and dry the weed anyway, but for you it will really help aswell. hope this helps ! 🚀
Yeah 33 degrees is too hot for plants. Unless you’re supplementing mass amounts 1200-1500 PPM of CO2 which most of us aren’t.
Maybe if your light has a dimmer. Drop the light closer and turn the intensity down.
Or try and get some better air flow by adding a fan.
Just a look at your diary and I see that bottom flap close. I would open that to let some fresh air in. I’m also lead to believe that you don’t have an exhaust fan at the top.
I would try to add one with a charcoal filter. A 4 inch is good for a tent like yours. It’s definitely going to help get the hot air out at the top and draw in fresh air from the bottom.
So yeah if you have any questions fell free to DM me. 🤙
So far so good, ive managed to keep the heat unter control by opening side windows for more cool air to flow in. They are growing!
1.12: its been a week since they burst through the soil, i‘d say they grow quite good, when i compare to other diaries. I think im watering them a bit too much and since less is more in growing i‘ll skip watering for one day and wait until the first 2.5 cm of the soil are dry before watering them again.
3.12: all are looking good although i barely manage to keep them at at east 40% humidity. Especially auto ultimate #2 and white widow are gorgeous. The other 2 are still shy i guess :p
7.12: first time fertilizing. Used a bit more due to a friends recommendation but will use it less frequently. very excited 😎
11.12: realized i overwatered them so they get a dry treatment
13.12: happy ACAB Day! The consequences of overwatering are showing :/ i will still wait 2 days until the soil has really dried put before i water them again. Looking, beside some yellow leaves, very good tho imo! Also i LST‘ed them for the first time myself 😎
14.12: more LST and fertilizer 8). My grow guru came over and i learned alot. More updates soon!
Going good still, imo. 2/4 going into bloom, so i changed nutrients for them and add 1ml/L top max and bio bloom each. Put both AU‘s in the middle so they will yield more.
I have different nutrient schedules because one is flowering (somango) and the rest isnt. Dm for more info if you like. I overfed them a. It so one week they‘ll only get water. (Ph-adjusted ofc)
Update:
They are getting hungry! If you compare this and last weel you‘ll see how mich of an explosion they made
Update:
Giving WW to a friend :/ too little space for 4
Alot going on in my personal life so im kinda ghosting this page, sorry! Hope you still like the diary:)
Update: the strech is getting real! Au#1 will recieve a little curing method for her dried look: ill let her dry out just a bit and then give her just water for once. Should solve the issue, besides that: bloom madness as always (my grow guru told me that blooming phase is always a hassle)
All good, when i inspected the plants with my x60 microscope, i saw a LOT of trichomes. Mostly clear but the trichomes on somango were ~80 cloudy so i set her in our special dark chamber, which is a cardboard box thats monitored. I have alot of purple leaves which is due to lack of co2 and a little too intense light i guess. In 2 days, i will harvest somango. The white widow seems to be a photo periodical plant. My friend sent me some pictures.
Ive harvested the main bud about 1.5 weeks ago and tried a tiny bit in a pipe. So far the effect is good, the taste is very mellow, but its very fruity already. High lasts usual duration and feels very calming, yet focussing to me. I have adhd and anxiety so its perfect for me so far.
I estimate it‘ll be around 120g when dried, popcorn buds removed
Edit:
Yeah yeah i know she couldve been longer in there 😎 but i really wanna push those 2 AU‘s to the max and since they have more space and dei k around a third more water (and light) i think this was worth it. Also we really didnt wanna buy some again. This yield of one (!) plant already almost payed off the box.
@lonelystoners,einfach am anfang immer so paar cm um den stiel rum gießen bis sie so 14 tage alt sind dann kannst anfangen mit voll guß hoffe das hilft
@JaramnieJazz, ive haf alot of plants so far, and ive always watered them as soon as i felt the soil was dry 2-3 cm deep. Does that apply here too? I can also kust research on other diaries but i‘d like your view on it
Hey bro looking good. I would like to offer some advice if I may, First off I would get yourself 2 important pieces of equipment. A PAR meter & A thermal temp gun to help read your plant's top temperatures & how much light they are receiving. These 2 items will really help you get the most potential out of your lights and equipment. I say this because for 300W LED's you should be getting them closer to the plants. At this stage of bud production, we want as much PAR onto those plants as possible to form up big nice buds. Lack of light intensity will lead to very airy buds and not very much cake.
Secondly, your temp gap between lights on and lights off is fairly wide. We want that to be no more than 9 degrees less between lights on and lights off in VEG & early FLOWER. Anything more will cause the plants to stretch a lot. Once the plants have finished growing vertically after weeks 4 to 6 of flower, Then we like to open up that gap between lights on and lights off temps, Instead of causing stretch, it will now send extra energy into the plant's budding process & resin production. Cannabis plants love heat and humidity, The buds hate it. For veg & early flower we can take advantage of that fact to get more vigorous growth by aiming for temps of around 82 with lights on and no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. Once we have some decent buds on there we like to walk that day time temp down a bit to in the mid to high 70s with lights on & 10 degrees less, with lights off & slowly widen that gap until they finish.
If you have a minute, Take a second and check out my 200 LED light diary & follow my profile, If you ever have any questions please feel free to ask. Happy growing friend.
@lonelystoners, Fluke 59 max is not very expensive and will pay its self off in no time. That is the model I use. The PAR meter we use is the Apogee Quatnum flux. I am very glad to have helped you my friend any questions you have please do not hesitate to ask. Happy growing, If you have not done so already check out my diary & follow my profile!
Calcium lockout on both and pH issues that led to it, that's my wild guess ...
Let them dry out totally before watering next. Give one 75% amount of usual water for each with pH 6,3 no feed !!! , let it dry out !!! And in next watering add 1ml/l CalMag , no other additive except BioHeaven if you have, max 2ml/l. Again 6.3 water. Follow normal feed schedule after.
They are big girls, most prob you underfed them . I personally struggle as well a bit with BioBizz calmag,in this line I had better results without it than with.... To me all issues looks like starts after usage, but maybe I start to use it too late personally ....
All the Best !
@AsNoriu, your tip is really well explained! I purposely underfed them to avoid overfeeding, as you know a common beginner mistake. Next tome ill be a bit more generous 8)
