Started mixing and activating my living soil on December 20th it was ready to go on January 9th and popped the seeds directly in soil 12 of 12 germinated and 4 days later they have popped out of the soil about to shed their seed husks.
I plan on having this updated every Sunday through the veg cycle (shorter veg cycle for smaller plants) and updating twice a week during flower.
Feel free to leave some constructive criticism or comments in general.
Sorry about not keeping you all updated, been chaos at work the last few weeks.
One plant seems to be affected by a nute toxicity or deficiency I'm not entirely sure so will post in grow questions
Edit: I did have a little bit of a fungus gnat problem but removed the top inch or 2 of soil and replaced with fresh coco coir seems to have solved the problem over the course of 2 weeks.
I seem to have a nute toxicity or deficiency for all I know even a Ph issue but, water in was 6.2 water out was 6.4 daytime temps stay steady in the 69-73 degree range humidity has been on the low end around 15% but I have a humidifier in there now keeping it close to 55% now.
dam 15% RH is super low.
My home goes down to 30%ish in the winter but never below 25%
I agree with the others below. less N.
I'm also noticing spotting on the leaves from water droplets?
If you foliar feeding only do it at lights off or before them come one, can burn the plants.
If its not from feeding try and keep the leaves dry.
PH looks good for a soil coir hybrid. the %'s don't add up to 100 in your diary for substrate contents.
hopefully its a 50/50 ish mix. I also use Gaia Green and find the 4-4-4 a bit to strong sometimes and is best cut with some of the 2-8-4 70/30 split.
Happy Growing!
Light defoliation this week along with a light flush at the end of last week to clear up what the community agreed was a bit too much nitrogen they seem to have bounced back really well.
Exciting week, the ladies got a couple major upgrades. They got moved into their final home a 4x8 tent, so they now have plenty of room to stretch out. I ordered 2x Mars hydro TSW 2000's one has been delivered but the second won't be here till Saturday, no big deal. But they seem to really like the better light spectrum of the mars hydro lights.
Thinking about turning the old 4x4 tent into a clone/veg setup to get a perpetual grow going, undecided yet but leaning that way.
Lots of bud sites developing, I'd say most of the stretch is over so just packing on bud from here on out. No new issues this week so that's a plus, these girls are really flourishing under these new mars hydro tsw2000's. I was initially concerned about temperatures in the 4x8 but so far everything is staying ideal between 70 and 75 degrees with a RH% between 50 and 60 percent.
The beginning week 9 (start of week 4 of flower) performed the final heavy defoliation 36 hours ago and the girls don't seem to be bothered by it at all, no signs of stress or shock. Seems that my Ph has balanced out right around 6.1-6.2 in each of the 11 3-gal pots. All kinds of bud sites developing, 2 different phenotypes are starting to show 9 of the 11 are what I expected shorter bushier plants however 2 of the ladies are tall with lots of branching.
This week they got their last feeding today by top dressing the medium working it in the top couple inches and getting thoroughly drenched with some calmag and fox farms kangaroots microbe liquid. Shouldn't have to do anything from here on out except water and admire the ladies.
everything is coming along pretty well, buds are starting to fatten getting real dense and extremely frosty. I think the pictures speak for themselves.
Everything is coming along nicely, one of the ladies looks like she will be getting her dark period here in the next 3 to 5 days its way ahead of the rest but all but maybe 3 will finish together got my 4x4 all set for their dark period.
Also have the next batch of living soil prepped and inoculated for the next run, thinking expert seeds expert GG, blue dream, and wedding cake.
Things are coming across fantastic, I did harvest 3 plants that were early finishers, I don't have a weight on them yet as they are still drying, I like to go slowly with the drying process so that they take 7 to 10 days to dry enough to start the curing process. The trichomes are starting to mature on the remaining 8 plants more and more each day. I am looking for that 70/30 ratio of cloudy to amber crystals not there yet but it's getting closer now I'd say within 7 to 14 days they will all be ready.
