4: Alien vs Triangle - Mephisto

Going to keep the tent warm and humid near the beginning(maintaining dat VPD of course), to get them going quickly in hopes to fill the tent before flower like usual. No clay pebbles in the pots, but I have air domes. Let's pray the pH is stable this run. Day 1 is when seeds popped out of soil, not counting the germination days. --- Day 1 to 7 Thursday Day 3 Watering with a spray bottle twice a day Day 5 Put the spray bottle away. Watered the pot hard at 5.8, no nutes just yet. Lights ~34-36" from canopy at 280w. Day 6 Starting with 250ppm @ 5.8

I'm ahead I think of every grow so far. I think I will feed from day 1 next time just to see about getting even further ahead. Day 8 to 14 Thursday D8 Lights @ 18", 185w, (~250umol) Fed 1L each D10 Fed 1L Lights @ 200w D12 Fed 2L @ 260ppm D13 Fed 2L @ 310ppm D14 Fed 1L Note to self: I think I've been underwatering

Day 15 to 21 Thursday D17 These plants are pretty big for their age. I think I got two sativas leaning phenos that are getting pretty damn tall with not much leaf and they are kinda freaking me out. Lights ~ 18" away @ 260w. D18 Seeing tips curling down a little. Feed 1L @ 260ppm D19 Autopots and air are on! 310ppm @ 5.8 PH is finally stable without clay pebbles. Thank god that's over. Lights at 300w, 18" from top. Light LST done.

Day 22 to 28 Thursday Plants are getting fairly big, especially two of them. D24 Snapped the stem from #4 almost right off. Taped it back up and said a prayer. Bummer.. Otherwise things are looking alright so far. 330w D26 Plant somehow is recovering after having 90% of its head chopped off. Lol. Not sure I'll be able to train it, or if it'll be able to support the weight. I'm going to have to look at a way to brace it better. Not defoliating it right now until it figures out what's going on again 350w D28 Upped feed from 310ppm to 460ppm: 1/4 bloom 1/2 terpinator full veg 5.8ph

Day 29 to 35 Thursday I realized I have been misreading the Remo schedule this entire time and underfeeding by quite a bit. Bumping up to 710ppm which is a little hot for me but going to trust it. That's some black looking water but let's go! Day 29: Upped feed to 710ppm at above levels. Lights at 380w ~14-16" from the Al Capony Stretch is underway..I think. I may think I know what I'm talking about but who knows. Day 33: Upped feed again to 800ppm 2:1 veg:bloom, including GROW. D35: Upped lights to 430w @ 14-18"

Plants are looking very vibrant. Probably hanging out around 850-950 ppm until week 4 flower. (Edit: This was too high, dropped to 750ppm soon after) Day 36 to 42 Thursday Day 36 Full bloom 860ppm let's get it! 🤑🤳 Day 38 See some rust spots on the little one....I'll say PK excess. Dropped to 750ppm @ 6.0 for now. Haha Day 40 Think I am done with training for this grow. I'll probably do some minor defoliation throughout the next few weeks to keep the light getting through. I forgot to re-strap #3 the other day so the supercrop I had done originally came undone, then turned into un-bendable stone. I have one supercrop still holding on, but that uneven cola will annoy me over time.

Day 43 to 49 Thursday Day 43 800ppm @ 6.1 Day 44 Autopots flooded my tent. Thank god for perlite! 800ppm @ 6.1 again yay D47 Final defoliation done. I may pluck a few here and there but we're pretty much on autopilot now 😁 My goal is 800grams on this run. I think I can get it. AVT4 is huge. Man I love this shit!!!!

Day 50 to 56 Thursday These plants are a bit out of sync and two of them are about a week or so behind so it's making feeding a bit fun but so far no deficiencies so I'm doing alright. D50 Refilled res at 850ppm since it's PEAK WEEK! Last defol (I promise). Lights are 12-14" from canopy @ 480w. Let's make some rocks lol

We switching up the nutrients again. 4:1 is the way Day 57 to 63 Thursday Day 57 800ppm at 4:1 ratios above. My gosh I have a bat in the back left and there's still a while to go. Day 61 Did a pretty big defol to the back left and also some cleanups to the rest...YOLO Day 62 800ppm 2:1 ratios. I am seeing some cal def marks. Still sorting it out I guess lol

Day 64 to 70 Thursday Day 65 Lowered to 700ppm back to og schedule. Day 70 750ppm

Day 71 to 77 Thursday D71 790ppm. Colors are coming through. I think this will be a nice yield!

770ppm

Dry tent sitting at 16c/61rh and were just sailing. These are not the most pleasant looking plants. I made some mistakes throughout the grow. I also ran out of some nutrients so I was sorta wingin it after a while lol. I think I will get +600g here
