Day 79. Plants are going well. Took like 7-9 leaves from each to open few tops and gave them BioBizz feed yesterday. Squeezed 450 ppm, but no BioGrow was involved.
Amazing size of stems, they are drinking fast and I can't wait to trim those huge colas .... Unless I screw up like always ;)))
Girls still get side lightning from Mars SP150, but most of its light is oriented to new starters ;)
Happy Growing !
@AsNoriu, yes I suggest you do a heavy defol, remove anything below 4 nodes on every branch and any sucker branches and just focus on the top fruits 🌱👍
@Fruitgrower, I am terrified,main tent only air, loads,but except top colas - all crap, will chop first two, defoliate the rest and put these two into main. Here will be dry room again. I bumped into stupid situation, plants huge, but space and light are missing....even those two are growing every hour ...
@Maryjane23, I liked the taste of runtz. I made mistakes in that grow. Never had 3 feet tall canopy, needed to clear a lot higher and keep temps a bit lower, got huge plants,but airy and small harvest. So runtz not in my fav list for a bit ;)))
@AsNoriu, ottimi strain non sono amante delle wedding cake, la bruce banner fantastica, per il prossima coltura ti consiglio una runtz fantastica sempre di qualsiasi banca semi... io l'ho fatta della barneys farm ho anche il diario se ti fa piacere vederla!!!
good luck
@JOE_S_GARDEN, since I started to :
1. keep humidity on higher levels and in flower never drop lower than 55
2. Dropped my ph to 6.3
3. Using humidity dome till week 3
4. Constant spray and tuck of leaves without heavy harm in veg
And main !!!
5. Biosys and Great White. Those two brought my harvests to never reached highs....
I use it before dropping seed, with every transplantation and once a week for first 4 . Use 1 ml scoop of each to one plant before watering as top dress
Week 5 - 2 ml scoop
Week 6 - 3 ml scoop
Week 7 and others - 4 ml
Once a week with plain water. Stop 3 weeks before harvest.
Pricey - but does magic to roots !
Hope it helps you too ;)
@Green_Dream, like half of my friends would take any amount of ready buds, half of that half would take any plant from me ;))
Nahhhh, landlord will have to wait ;))) All 3 Northern Lights in main tent are slow in flowering too, so I am stuck anyway ... ;)
@Sparkles, if he will read it, he won't like it ;)))))
Those big girls in soil go very airy, I was very happy with those two. Slimmed them heavily on second or third week of flower, would do still 5 cm higher for absolute nuginess, but that's my only possible improvement that I could off done for them.
Your 12 weeks don't go for nothing too. Plus autos are a lot weaker by smells and hit , at least I have personal feeling about it that way ...
Great looking grow. Something is not right about the final weight though...according to your numbers you achieved 7 grams/watt . A yield of one gram per watt is considered the “upper limit” of what’s possible with indoor grow lights (though it can be beaten)! An average-to-good grow yields about 0.5 grams/watt.
@Ketamine, just to clarify ;)
My total average is in 1.5 1.8 g/w.
Some my weed you wouldn't call trim even ...
Those 2.5 g/w grows are in the mix.
For example - I had 17 girls and 960 W ( one light was limping , so in reality 800 ) . Total weight was 1.55 kg
One FB SPA finished 124 g ( I had 240 g girl in same run, but last 3 weeks she spent under 240w in dry room and was the last from all wave so got more light on average )
960:17=56.
124 : 56 = 2.2 g/w
If you count real output - that girl was even better .
Just wanted to clarify my numbers.
@Ketamine, I was doing 2.5 and it's not the limit, I know guys do better, my quality is shit, loads of air at those previous big results, now I harm them more, would do even more than in this grow, lollipop should be higher, but I trimmed out almost half of plant, you can check second or third week of flower of this diary.
@Ketamine, mate ;))) it's WET weight, and that part is bullshit. I always write one kilo, but it's even MORE !!! Check my seedsman Alaskan Diesel and Green Crack videos from harvest weeks, you will see my plants weights more, a lot more ! In my mind, these are my best auto plants !
I had that discussion with many growers, @PurpleWorship including, check our conversations on same diary. Here two girls were veged under 140 W, first two weeks of flower under same light too, the rest in main tent, it has 800 W +, but now mostly 15+ plants too at same time ...
Think I will have a pound of weed from those two.
Very nice man , I’ve only used HPS and the sun to grow but I think I’ll have to evolve one day and at least add an LED to my tent . That’s some very nice bud man
@AsNoriu, yeah the tent / light got a bit warm one night and I got a few sets of taco leaves , it was a bit of a fuck up by me ( I get too stoned sometimes and end up playing around in the tent too long ) , I had the dehumidifier going at the intake air and that raised temps by a degree and that dried the plants out and at the same time I needed to drop the plants down 50 mm as they were too close to the light after a mini growth spurt .. my fuck up 100% .
@Rangaku, HPS explains small taco at top now, I missed that point in your grow. Yours look better, believe me and hps will manage to finish them with dignity ;))) I love LEDs. Had a chance to grow from first cheap bluepurples to really solidly made Mars Hydro SP3000. Was bragging that company, because had few first models, so I am very surprised to say least by what they can do now. I have DIY clones of first Generation HLG , later my models had far reds plus, so they do magic too, just my friend always finishes faster under his branded Mars.
He never gets same g/w , but damn his flowering time is shorter on 30% or so.
@smoking_hills9, those are amazing autos. Think most healthiest and vigorous plants that I grew. I like chunky structure too. Only outdoors I had such stem size... Pure joy !
@Sparkles, looking too good, that light will be too weak very soon ... I hope I screw up , otherwise they will screw me up with size , big tent is full too .. ;))))
