January 7: I started the germination off in a glass of water letting them sit for a day or two until the taproot came out of the seed. January 8: Afterwards the seeds were transferred to a plate with paper towels on the 8th. I put the plates on a radiator on low heat and made sure the paper towels stayed moist. This method may seem like to much work and to elaborate, however this method has worked very well for me in the past I decided to stick with it :) January 9: All seeds have split open and I think they're ready to be put in solo cups containing pure coco coir saturated with Canna Start & Rhizotonic at a PH of ~5.8 (see above). Jan 10: Conditions: 22°C, 40% RH => Humidifier should be purchased soon Watering at PH of 5.9 no nutes PPM of ~120 Jan 11: Same conditions and watering as Jan 10 2 Critical, 2 Mimosa X Orange Punch and 3 Cookies Kush have sprouted/are beginning to sprout. Jan 13: All but one have sprouted. Conditions: 20°C, 39% RH Jan 14: All have sprouted.

Jan 14: Amazingly all 25 seeds fully germinated (16 from this grow, 9 from the other). I am really happy with this turnout. Today I am giving the the last feed with Canna Start, Afterwards I'm gonna be moving forward with the Canna Coco line of nutrients. They're all looking happy and healthy for now Jan 17: Feed with Canna Coco A&B, and Rhizotonic at 410 PPM and 5.9 PH. Jan 20: Feed same as Jan 17

Hello guys, I am planning on flowering these 16 ladies in my 4x4, but I am unsure of how long to veg and what training to utilize for maximum yield. I was thinking 3-4 weeks? Or maybe longer? Is topping in such a tight space a good idea? If yes then at what time? Thanks!

Its a hard one really because all of the strains will have different finishing times so if it was me I would just grow them in a S.O.G type style and then you can harvest the first to mature without interupting the growth of the others Just make sure to allow lots of air flow in and around the plants to reduce the risk of hot spots and budrot and for maximum yield trim all of the lower branches that wont get full lighting hope you have a great grow @DopeGrows

Jan 21: The plants were transplanted in 11L pots containing a 90% coco 10% perlite mixture saturated with 2.3ml/L Canna Coco A&B and 4ml/L Rhizotonic. Jan 23: They are still recovering from the transplant but they seem healthy. Jan 24: Some of the plants have twisted leaves, not top worried about it as they seem pretty healthy but I will keep an eye on it. Jan 26: The temps were def too low (19-20°C @ day). The ducting was originally venting outside of the room through the ceiling but apparently air was pulled in through the cracks.. I removed the hose for now and I am getting temps between 26 and 29 °C which will do for now. Feed at 420 😎 PPM and 6.9 PH

Jan 4: Feed @620 PPM 1.8ml/L Coco A&B Feb 5 - Training: Topped the plants above the 4th node. The very bottom nodes were removed. The largest fan leaves on top were tied down with gardening wire. I noticed that the plants towards the back were growing faster, which might be due to the different light spectrum. I changed the positioning a bit. Feb 6: Feed @680PPM 2ml/L Coco A&B Still recovering from training. Feb 8: Feed @680PPM with 1ml/L Canna Boost Feb 10: Feed @785PPM 2.3ml/L Canna Boost 2ml/L Canna Boost Humidity (65-75%) is too high as im switching to 12/12 tomorrow. Probably due to the amount of plants and pots. Will get a dehumidifier soon.

Do y'all reckon I can give these ladies another week? Thinking about using a Scrog net to get a nice canopy Watering will be a pain though. At some point I would like a drip system but no time atm. Any ideas? I though about a water pump in a bucket and water manually with a hose

Too many plants to SCROG. For a tent that size to SCROG you want 4 plants and I count 16.. so yeah I agree go SOG. The idea of SCROG is to make one plant VERY wide.. the wider the better. Where are you going to train your plants to grow?? Into each other?? Leave the net there to act as bud supports but dont worry about training them into a proper SCROG. As it is they are going to be blocking each other when mature. As for watering- Coming from an aquarium background I had to change 1/4 of the water in up to 18 tanks weekly/fortnightly, and refilling tanks with treated water with a bucket is a pain. Same goes for watering can for plants...So yes a good submersible water pump in a bucket of nutes will work just fine...but my advice is get one that is low flow.. not many ltrs per min or one that is low flow AND has adjustable flow control..it will cost a bit more but if a cheaper one blasts too much water then you will blow the soil out of the pot...so get the smallest one that you have time to run. I have all day so if it takes 60 seconds to run 1 ltr for me I dont mind ..But you may want to do other stuff then water all day. The prob with water pumps is unless you can adjust the flow they really are not worth the hassle as a watering can is adjustable by how hard you pour it. If you want to mad scientist something anyways then you can go as far as getting multiple sets of clear hose (from say an aquarium store 4mm to 8mm size) and some air/water flow control valves and basically run a seperate hose to each pot with a flow control valve on each hose, and the hoses all go back to one main hose that goes to water pump in a black plastic tub full of nutes and you set the water pump on a timer..and then spend 2 hrs or more adjusting every flow control valve on each hose until they all flow the same amount (and you need to time/measure each hoses output with a measuring cup and timer) and when they all flow about the same or exactly the same ideally, then you set the timer and monitor it closely and tweak it as needed. Its a ton of work, BUT it is fun to do.. I have done it and it works well but Im also the kind of person who loves going over board.

Feb 11: 1st day of flower Feb 12: Bumping up the nutrients: Feed@870 PPM 2.8ml/L Canna Coco A&B 2.5ml/L Canna Boost No more Rhizotonic The plants are getting very dense now. I am thinking of defoliating next week. I may have to add more airflow. Feb 14: Feed @870PPM Same as Feb 12 Feb 16: Feed @840PPM Same nutes as Feb 14 & 12 I did some pretty agressive defoliation/lollipopping, because the plants were growing very dense (see before & after) This was done 5 days after initially switching to flower, which I hope is not too early but we'll see 😈👽 Additionally, I set up the trellis net and spaced the branches apart, which I think will help the Cookies Kush that are 8-10cm shorter than the rest catch up. I guess this is a SOG/SCROG hybrid grow now😆 I am now watering with an adjustable waterpump and a hose, although it is a little too fast, as it pumps a liter in roughly 7.5s. Therefore it is hard to water each plant equally, meaning that I will have to eyeball it, which could be a good or a bad thing, we'll see. Humidity is still very high, but the dehumidifier will be arriving next week, so I'm not too worried at this point.

Feb 18: Feed@880PPM The plants have already recovered nicely from the defoliation, lollipopping and training on the 16th. The branches were readjusted for the trellis netting, and the height difference between the Cookies Kush and the others isnt as big anymore 😁👽 Feb 19: Did some more defoliation and LST with the trellis net, also some high stress training where the net wasn't in an ideal position. There are a ton of future bud sites and a lot of potential 😁 They will be growing very dense and close to eachother, so I need to make sure the airflow is adequate. I have noticed the Cookies Kush (in the back right of the tent) grow very very bushy and don't like being trained like the others do. They tend growing inwards instead of outwards and are also about 5-10cm smaller on average. I hope the LST I am doing on the others will allow the Cookies Kush to catch up in height. Otherwise I'm happy with the results thus far. Feb 20: They have already perked up since defoliation, I'm going to let them be for a while now 😆 Feed@870PPM Bumped up nutes to 3ml/L Canna CocoA&B & Canna Boost Feb 22: Feed@920PPM Feb 25: Feed@950PPM 3.2ml Canna Coco A&B 3.5ml Boost

Hello guys My grow tents have high humidity. A fan is venting into attic. There is a vacuum in the room so the air is circulating+ dehumidifer outside tent Maybe too many plants? Night~19° Day~25° 55-62% RH too high for flower? Want to prevent budrot. Temps OK? Any ideas? Thanks!

Temp/humidity should be reading from the top of the canopy level. The humidity at the top of a tent will be 20-40%rh higher than at the bottom, humidity rises. I have no idea about celsius its too inaccurate for what I do with cannabis, I'm used to Farenheight so forgive me. Optimal LST leaf surface temperature for maximum photosynthesis is 86 (Given all 9 cardinal rules in balance). Trichomes will start to degrade above 87. Manganese (Vital for flowering) will have great difficulty uptaking via roots below 64 If your not going for purpling, night temps should not go below 67 Once past ripening stage (terpenes such as myrecene) start to decay above 67 There is no right or wrong to grow, what we try to do is optimize as best we can. RH over 65% will inhibit the photosynthesis as the stomata (little tiny mouths) will close to prevent from drowning as air becomes so thick with moisture, with no way to perspirate, the leaves will become laden heavy with water, left untreated can lead to multitude of problems. Humidity is not the problem, stagnation, or lack of change..............we need airflow Measure the cubic footage of your grow tent 4x4x6 = 96 So you would be recommended to get a 100CFM (cubic foot per minute) So the idea being I would clear that tent in 1 minute at 100cfm. (Double cfm if you add a carbon filter, and add 50cfm per 6-8ft of ducting) Personally, I run a 400cfm to run for 15 seconds every 3min this more or less strips the tent of all the nasties before anything can set in. You want to try and have a slight negative pressure to the grow space too, the tent should appear to breathe. Eveerything is looking good! Best of luck.

March 5: Water @1050 PPM Bud developement is relatively slow for 3 weeks especially for the Cookies Kush, but they should fatten up more quickly now The other strains also stretched alot. I had to remove 1 Mimosa X Orange Punch because I spotted a couple pollen sacs (hermie) You can hardly tell that there is 1 plant less, so it's not a huge deal :)
