Need to transfer 2 plants to larger pots due to root bound. Transferred plants earlier in the week starting to increase size tremendously over the last couple days. Mostly just giving them water and silica gel, should increase use of molasses and worm castings for nitrogen boost.
Some of the plants are really tall and some are smaller, research says its due to genetics. Training for flowering with the net has become increasingly more difficult because of the height difference. Higher levels of calcium and potassium made the plants grow taller seemingly overnight, the small plants are more bushy as shown in the photos above.
Smell is getting much stronger, keeping with current feed schedule. The buds on the smaller plants beginning to stack much more than the taller plants that vegged longer. The buds are extremely frosty with lots of trichomes.
Flushed two plants due to nutrient lock. Plants growing larger by the day, buds stacking up nicely. No real issues this week. Super Mazar should be ready to harvest soon, watching the trichomes for amber.
Plants have been getting a little cold at night so, I added a heater to the tent on a night time timer. Hopefully this fixes some issues and we will be adding more calmag to next weeks nutrients.
Hey, there friend great work for your 2nd grow. Would you be alright with me offering some advice and tips for your future grows? So just going back through your flower cycle and looking at the info posted these are the pointers I would offer. Cannabis plants love heat and humidity, It is the buds that hate it. 20% is super duper dry which would be good for the last couple of weeks or last week for sure. But normally we want around 50% for early-mid flower and slowly drop it down to 40% by the end of flower. In veg the plants love humidity, We can speed our growth up through the slow seedling phase and early plant phase with some supplemental intake from the leafs. In veg we can do 60% - 70% no problem for the first couple weeks and it will really help the plants get going. Temps in veg of 79-84 MAX and no more than 9 degrees less with lights off are a good rule of thumb. If we allow for more than 10 degrees less with lights off and have too large of temperature fluctuations we make our plants stretch unwantedly. Right now your temps are on the low side for sure which can make our plants grow a little slow. When we are in flower temperature control will play a big part in how our buds develop.
If we grow buds out at too high of temps we get very big and airy buds but they will be prone to foxtail and also have much less cake. Too low of temps we get really dense nugs caked in resin bud lose out on a lot of size. The best of both worlds seems to be at around 75-79 lights on temps in flower. Once our plants finish their vertical growth by weeks 4-6 of flower, Now we can open up our temp gaps to beyond 10 degrees less with lights off. Now the plants have finished growing vertically it will instead signal the plants to send extra energy into the budding process and resin production.
I hope these tips help you out and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask I am always willing to help out. If you are interested, Check out my youtube channel and subscribe it is linked to my growdiaries profile. I am currently producing a tutorial series for all levels of growers to utilize. Right now I got some cool videos of the 200 light 7,000 plant diary I just completed. Happy growing friend!
