Day-43, CPK. Started the week 7 with a little catch-up on the status. Yesterday I defoliated the day before was flush day, so today at lights on I'm feeding one gallon of nutrients. Got no runoff but that's plenty, she has drank at least a gallon since flush and her color is a little better. I think they are all deficient still, by tomorrow I'll know if I had a pH problem or what. if they don't perk up I may need to recalibrate my meter. Planning to flip soon about 2-3 more inches. Added the bloom cycle on my exvelence LED's so they're now at full power 135watt ea. that brings the wattage for the rest of the grow 850watts approximately. I think she is going be fine seems to be really liking the manifold train. This close to flip I started transitioning to flower nutrients also included a little banana water to prep for the stretch. I'll probably water once between now and the flip so she should be ready to go if her neighbors get healthy too.
Day 45 CPK. Ok I've checked my pH meter and recalibrated, it was reading 0.5 below actual pH, yeah that will cause several deficiencies. Watered today @6.25 she looks better. She just needs to grow another inch or 2 for the flip
Day-46,CPK. Today I'm doing a little defoliation, and top dressing with earthworm castings, bat guano, Dr. Earth bud & bloom. Almost time for lights out and I'm planning to reset the timers for flip at that time. She is at 13" and Im not sure but I think she is gonna get stretchy so almost 7 weeks.
2-16 flipped to 11hr 45min
What type of clip fan you using there bro? I am looking for one for my tent tutorial series. Check out my greenhouse flashback grow to see how my critical purple turned out! We got 1 auto hermie out of 3 we had to pull but the 2 that finished came out beautifully caked. I can't wait to see how these turn out!
@Loserofthemonth, Thanks so much bro! You are a legend, I will for sure give you a shout-out when going through the equipment best used for these style grows. Thank you again for taking your time to respond my man. Your plants look amazing, Great work and keep up the amazing effort.
@LegacyMarketFarm, I'll check my Amazon orders and get back to you . Those are 3d printed pole clips that the fans are clipped to and solve all clip fan problems. I got those on Amazon also. They are called "grow tent fan mount". I'll put up a picture. Ok I checked and the actual clip fan is an "Air King" and it's a very good quality fan. Went thru several before I found these a couple of years ago. Ok hope that helped and I'll get over there to say hi on your grow soon.
@cheetah844, well if you see I've already answered this, it's because I think I did but I don't see it. This strain is gonna be a mystery to me since I have never used or grown it knowingly. By the the way love my craftyII but I'm way too lazy and old school so it is seldom used. Glass and paper are my scene. As for asthetics and her not being photogenic it's just a color and frost thing with very little contrast. She is really beautiful and I expect to get some color in the next 2 weeks. Olive frost makes a boring picture. Good luck with your grow, I wish I could help you with more experience and say I've seen this robust phenotype before but she is my first CPK and is a single girl.
@cheetah844, I have not used this strain before but the genetics are tasty looking. I've tried to use different dry vapes for a few years. I do like the Crafty II, but I rarely use one. I'm lazy and old school, glass hammer and paper.
@Loserofthemonth, I grow for the same thing... Personal use then give away extra. (I use a very efficient vaporizer too so I use even less than the norm). With just this one harvest I probably wouldn't be able to use it all up in my lifetime.
Wow 10oz! That's awesome, thank you for suggesting this grow!
Have you used this strain before?
