Everything went well in germination, no fertilizer used. Also my first time not using paper towel and had way better success with the seeds, almost like they were made to be put in the ground.
Everything is going good, this week covers from Dec.4 to the 11th. The plants had a major accident due to me not securing the light and not realizing my kids slamming the fridge would knock it free of the stand, leaves were burnt by led light but luckily the plants were praying and it just burnt the tips of the First Single leaves.
So on 12/14/21 opened tent to find leaves trying to get away from light, TS 3000 is a powerful light, at 24 inches from top of plants at 25% power it caused leaf folding. Adjusted light to 36 inches and dimmed light to 20%. Leaves are turning a darker shade of green and started praying again. Lesson learned know your light or get a watt meter cause 25% was close to 120 watts of LED. 12/15/21watered plants 100ml of water, except one which was still moist. Noticed green coming back strong now the lights at the right height.12/17/21 Plants fully recovered from my light. Looking vibrant green again.12/18/21 Nutrients fed. 12/19/21 plants are growing vigorously now that the conditions are right on.
12/21/21 Start of week 3 all the plants have rebounded. Now labeled plants to follow each plant individually incase there's a phenotype I want to keep. Transplanted into 3 Gallon fabric pots, tent is now dedicated to those 4 Stone Cold Diesel other seedlings have been moved to there own tent.12/24/21 Cleaned floor of tent, nutrient fed plants with 250ml each of solution at 800ppm added water catchers. Also add NPK Raw Grow Microbes directly to the Coco Coir at 1/2 tsp per plant right around the stock.
12/27/21 Start of Week 4 , Growth has started again from transplant , Watered 1ltr of Nutrient water to each.12/30/21 watered 1250ml of nutrient water each, plants have really started growing again. Thinking from germination threw week 2 both the ts600 and the ts3000 were too close and too powerful ,
just from my observation of growth, something to try on my next grow. Added video and pictures.
01/03/22 Watered plants 2L of nutrient water each , assessed plants to determine what LST I'm doing, looks like these plants have potential to be monsters. Let's hope I don't fuck it up now. 01/01/22 Topped and defoliation was done, didn't water that day even though they needed it I wanted to give them a day or two from the stress they went through, watching to make sure they didn't wilt. Its paying of not listening to my ocd mind thinking I need to do something everyday, I didn't even want to top them, but they where looking very kushy type of plant. And I have trellis going in later two tiers. 01/08/22 Did a full water threw tested run off , it's sitting 800ppm above what I'm feeding, next watering straight 6.0ph water. Lights at 💯%
01/10/22 Everything is Going good, which means something bad is going to happen. Plants were 9 inches at the end of week 4 on day one of week 5 they were topped and defoliated which brought the height to 4.5 inches, So after the shock of having there tops removed they grew 4 inches in one week. Extremely happy I'm keeping track.01/13/22 Defoliated and LST'D the plants.01/14/22 Adjusted LST , removed all branches growing on the underside to allow for proper Growth of other branches. Fingers crossed this should be a decent harvest flipping on week 9.
01/17/22 Everything's starting to grow again from the LST and defoliation at the end of this week flipping to flower. Tested run off last watering it was 2250ppm, did straight water this watering. *Note plant 4 has had hiccups from the start when it popped out of its seed it's tap root was curled I fixed it with tweezers by pulling the skin off and then placed it into the Coco, it shows the most stress out of the 4 plants and does not respond well to anything I do to it, even with 2250 ppm runoff it's still showing signs of a nitrogen dificiency PH in run off at 6.0 so not sure why it's so finicky . It did get the worse light burn out of the 4 , me being a novice at this I'm not sure if early stress ruins the rest of the grow but I'm starting to think it does from past grows and this one. 01/23/22 Just watered plants , the lockout has been fixed that one plants not eating as much as the other three and due to future harvests suggested mixing was way to high 1200-1300 ppm I had to mix by there measurements then weaken it with water till I reached 800ppm. Thank you everyone who post info for me.
Quick Question, Plant 4 in all of my pictures, it's showing signs of a nitrogen deficiency but it's not possible the last run off I tested was 2250 with a pH of 6.0 what else could be causing the leaves to look like they have a deficiency. Burnt tips I understand.
Yeah that’s not sign of nitrogen deficiency anyhow but you’re locking out other nutrients is likely the case - that run off number is way too high for comfort. Some plants can take it and others can’t.. you’re seeing the result of that in plant 4..
Given that you’re in coco,
I’d mix up like 5 gallons of feed for it at a low EC of .8 - 1.0 (4-500 PPM) and flush/leech that coco.. basically flush it but with a feed. You don’t wanna do straight water cuz you’ll likely stress it out even more.
But you want that run off to be down below 1000PPM before you quit
01/25/23 Switching to flower, everything's going well moved all plants to my Flower tent. Would have left in veg for a couple more weeks but I'm out of weed 😂.
Plants are doing way better then any grow I've done in the past. Trying something because of what I seen on growboss, I defoliated the blueberry but didn't Defoliate the stone cold diesel he states I will get more dense nuggets on the the plant I don't Defoliate so let's see what happens, so far the blueberry started budding way faster.
02/09/22 Returning to my home from helping a friend I discovered my exhaust fan vent hose collapsed on itself, due to it being to long and resting on itself. Because of that I had an out break of powdery mildew. I removed all infected leaves, fix the vent hose and sprayed the tent down with potassium bicarbonate which kills the spores I then sprayed all the plants off and then rinsed with water. Will let you know on Wednesday start of next week if I won or not , Doesn't matter if the strain is resistant if you give it optimal conditions. Another lesson learned the hard way..... I guess it's the only way to get it done better.
So far so good , my treatment (potassium bicarbonate) and defoliation and opening up the LST did help cure the PM as of now there are no signs and I have been looking everyday moving the plants out and in, it has a 95% chance of killing it all on the first round so fingers crossed. Plants are healthy and growing like a weed.
Had to do a major thinning of the tops there was just too many, someone got greedy lol, anyways plants are doing good. PM did show back up on one leaf was cut of carefully and when lights went out I did a 25% strength application of potassium bicarbonate which is fine to do in flower. At least I've never had bad effects from doing it , the plant I would assume would absorb the potassium and the bicarbonate would get transpired off over time. At least that's my theory 😂.
Everything's going good, just water till harvest now. Very Berry will be coming down between the 17-24 of march and the stone cold diesel will be coming down between the 23-30 everything in my house smells like this tent, that's with venting outdoors and running scrubbers. Hands down that stone cold diesel produced some funk , like almost gag funk, the berry is berry smelling of course with gas notes behind it.
