Gelato/Viparspectra XS1500

1st week of Veg complete. Haven’t really done anything, the tent with half a passive intake flap open is enough to pull in the fresh air needed, the Spider-Farmer intelligent fan is set at 75% humidity and 80’f and kicks in as it should. The XS1500 from Viparspectra is at 24” and around 55%. The feeds seem to be going well, I’ll be adding grow into the feed next week so I’ll be seeing these babies start to spread their wings 🌱🙂

2nd week of Veg complete. Again I haven’t really done anything, the tent with half a passive intake flap open is enough to pull in the fresh air needed, the Spider-Farmer intelligent fan is now set at 64% humidity and 80’f and kicks in as it should. The XS1500 from Viparspectra is at 22” and now around 75% the PPFD is around 480. The feeds seem to be going well, nutrient feed every other day with just water in between. I added grow and Alg-a-mic into the feed this week, there seems to be no deficiencies that I can see and indeed these babies started to spread their wings, a good 2nd week 🙂🌱

3rd week of Veg complete. 
Busy week for this girl, day 19 she had her 1st LST, I was undecided as to what I was going to do it was just grow her out or try LST again. She took well to LST, she has really spread out her wings out of all 3 girls…the tent with half a passive intake flap open is enough to pull in the fresh air needed, the Spider-Farmer intelligent fan is set at 64% humidity and 80’f and kicks in as it should. The XS1500 from Viparspectra is at 22” and now around 80% the PPFD is around 500. The feeds seem to be going well, nutrient feed every other day with just water in between. I added a little more grow into the feed this week, there seems to be no deficiencies that I can see and a nice even canopy is in motion , a good 3rd week 🙂🌱

4th and final week of Veg complete by the looks of it! This girl is in pre-flower so she will be on blooming nutrients going forward.
 So after last weeks LST on day 19 I left the girl for a few days and hoped I didn’t stress her too much. Day 23 I had no choice but to do some minor defoliation, so I trimmed some of the bigger fan leaves that helped open her up a bit more. Days 25/26/27 I carried on with the LST and pulled her branches down so the I think she is as even as I can get her before she goes onto flower.

The tent with half a passive intake flap open is enough to pull in the fresh air needed, the Spider-Farmer intelligent fan is set at 60% humidity and 80’f and kicks in as it should. The XS1500 from Viparspectra is at 18” and at 100% the PPFD is around 780, I will be lowering this down to 15” next week. The feeds seem to be going well, nutrient feed every other day with just water in between. Added the bloom nutrients into the feed this week and dropped the root juice, she seems to be adapting well, there seems to be no deficiencies that I can see. Really noticing the difference between this grow and my last grow already, my mistakes I made on that one I haven’t on this one and it’s telling on the flowers that she’s already producing, she’s the bushiest out of the 3 I have in this run. I’ve decided to start taking the first lot of flowering nodes off next week week off the bottom so that’ll be the only trim that she has from here on out. Really getting excited for this 🌱😊

The Spider-Farmer 2x2x5 tent with half a passive intake flap open is enough to pull in the fresh air needed, the Spider-Farmer intelligent fan is set at 55% humidity and 80’f and kicks in as it should. I did lower the XS1500 from Viparspectra to 15” and is still at 100% the PPFD is around 900. The feeds seem to be going well, nutrient feed every other day with just water in between, there are no deficiencies that I can see, so I literally only took off the bottom 1st nodes on each limb just to help the flowers above fill out, maybe 5/6 fan leaves, really haven’t messed with this plant as much, she is starting to bristle with trichomes though so I did decide to lightly rub my finger across a leaf one day 🤤 🌱👍

The feeds seem to be going well, nutrient feed every other day with just water in between, there are no deficiencies that I can see, my oscillation fan broke this week, it’s the 3rd I’ve had from Secret Jardin in 7 months so have decided to brand switch to RAM hopefully will last longer than the average 2 months but I can already hear it lightly screeching, so I didn’t have any rotating air for a day and a half. Other than that she smells nice, her flowers are many not as dense or as packed as the widow I have growing along with this, not that I mind, plants will be used for both smoking and edibles…last week of nutrient feeding coming up so I’m getting excited, although I feel she has maybe a week or so longer than both other plants I have in this run 🌱👍

The feeds seem to be going well, nutrient feed every other day with just water in between, there are a few deficiencies that I can seeing as this girl is lagging behind the others I might just dial back on the bloom. This week got me well confused with this girl, her pistols went really really thick one day, she just wants to keep growing…I don’t mind but I got plans with the tent 😂 I don’t have anywhere to dry my other plants as my other tent as a pheno grow going on and I’ve not exactly got a bug free space going on anywhere 😕 other than that a good week 🌱👍

The XS1500 from Viparspectra is at 15” and at 100% the PPFD is around 900. The feeds are nutrient feed every other day with just water in between, there are deficiencies that I can see but I may be flushing from here on out so it may be too late to try to rectify anything, I’ll just see how she goes over the first few days of next week, this girl is bushy but I don’t know if it’s airy or if the buds are still filling out 🤷‍♂️ everything is still a learning curve here.

1st week of flush done, only 2 photos this week, just been one of those busy effing weeks for me, back to full time hours at work after 13 1/2 months off, or getting back to full time hours after having and suffering with long covid, have also cut 2 plants, have another grow in another tent, just a busy week for me, brains just a bit mashy at times but I did feed my babies every day, so glad I have that intelligent fan by spider-farmer…

This was 1 of 3 plants in 12L fabric pots in a 2x2x5 under a xs1500 heat and rh controlled by a spider farmer intelligent fan. Think 3 plants is too much for this light or I just didn’t take enough care as I had quite a few string bean stalks (which will be used for future cooking use as nothing goes to waste here) so am not quite sure what happened there, the colas are thick frosty and stank up the place with like a dark vanilla and kind of a citrusy zesty smell as I was cutting her, smells beautiful though, definitely gonna give this another go further down the line and see what happens, am happy with how this went overall. So I guess it’s onto drying and then into the jars to cure for 4 weeks…. Next up (sorry fastbuds) RQS NYR comp
