Germinated Ck and dd using shot glass and paper towel method. Planted in moistened happy frog soil in solo cup with plastic bag to trap humidity on 1/27. On 1/30, placed in tent with temps around 72 f and 27% rh. Closed up tent and added back air filter to slow air circulation and to raise temps and rh. Light height at 28” and set intensity to 30.
Watering with phd water by soaking medium and waiting for it to dry out before watering again. Light intensity at 50%, 18" away from plant tops. Roots popping out of bottom of solo cup holes, ready to be moved to 1 gallon pots.
Watered with 1 gallon of water and 1 ml of calmag. In going ppm is approx 185. DD runoff ph 5.5 and 3600 ppm and CK ph 5.6 and 1750 ppm. CK is considerably behind DD in growth. Next time water with higher PH approx 6.8.
Topped DD down to 4th node and removed bottom node and foliage. Transplanted CK to 1 gallon container and watered with recharge and 1.5 ml of cal mag. Temperature solution approximately 58 degrees caused some purpling of leaves, but aquarium heater should solve issue. Runoff PH approx 5.6 is below desired 6.2 with in going ph of 6.8. Runoff PPM’s approx 1800 with in going approx 300. Also, added large fan for occasional air movement.
Feeding each plant approx 1/2 gallon of water with 1.5 ml cal mag. Applying recharge every two weeks. Moved light to two feet away and adjusted intensity to 60. Topped CK and started LST on DD. Runoff ph is around 5.5, so adjusted ph to 7 to get higher runoff. Ph fluctuations occurring on DD.
Regardless of it being spider mites u have some sort of pest, and with there been web doesn't take much in the way of process of elim. You are gonna want to go over your plant. Wipe down the backs of leafs where you can't see eggs with neem oil. An organic foiler spray to be able to spray over your plant without hurting the bud, look for 1s that are used in the production of crops, fruits. Also, make it harder for them little f....s to move around remove all their webs, take any easy cross points like leafs from 1 node reaching over to another. Make it so they have to move across nodes and open spaces on the ground and have bug traps like the yellow double sticky bug catchers that any DIY/gardenware place sells. You can cut little strips and place them inbetween your bud sites attach some to the underside of your leafs up and down the stem after you removed their little web bridges. Also peppermint oil, drives them mad and will have them constantly rubbing and making 'em crazy giving your plant a break. Start laying down the sticky bits wherever you see they use to cross. Also check out your tent? How did they get it? Cover up areas where ducting comes in or wires. Lace it also with peppermint oil and you can even drop little cottonballs with it onon it around your tent. Good luck.
Transplanted DD to 5 gallon pot of 1/3 HF and 2/3 OF soil. Watered with 1 gallon of water, 5 ml cal mag, and recharge. Added DE to top of soil and performed LST on both plants. Cleaned tent, didn’t find any bugs but sprayed neem oil 15 minutes before lights out.
Transplanted CK to 5 gallon ocean Forrest soil, watered with recharge and cal mag. Added scrog net and lollipop plants. No evidence of bugs but added sticky traps and sprayed neem oil 1 week after the first application. Added heater due to night time temps getting into the sixties which helped stimulate some more growth. Run of ppm approx 2000 and runoff ph the same as ingoing around 6.5. Set light intensity to 75 %.
Last week of veg, flipped at 8pm. DD showed only slight nute burn. Watered DD with 1.5 gallon of water, 3 ml per gallon of CM, and recharge. in going PH measuring around 6.5 and PPM approx 500. Couldn’t get outgoing measurements due to not enough run off.
Watering with cal mag approx 1.5 gallons per plant. Ph approx. 6.5/6.4 and ppms 370/2200. DD taking over tent and approx 2 feet from top of light. Have another week or two of stretch, not sure what to do to control the height. CK has bottom leaves tip Turing down, probably due to being close to the heater. Light intensity at 60, another week turn it up to 75.
Watering every 4 days with 3-4 ml per gallon of cal mag. Recharge is given every two weeks. DD stopped stretching. Lollipop once a week and adjusted light intensity to 75.
No issues so far and stretch phase has stopped. CK ppm 340-450/2200-3200 and DD ppm 340-450/1500 - 2200. CK ph 6.5/6.1 and DD ph 6.5/6.4. Watering with 3-4 ml cal mag every water and recharge every two weeks. Lollipop once a week and will start mag sulfur next water.
Switched from cal mag to mag sulfur for every water. Phosphorus deficiencies in DD, watered in 1 ml bloom booster to 20 ounces of phd water mixed in water bottle. A little nute burn from bloom booster occurred. Watering every 4 days with approx 1.75 gallons per plant. Shop vacuuming about 10 % run off. Ph 6.4/6.1-6.3 and ppm 300/1700-1900 for both plants and approx. 300 ppms are consumed per week. Will feed when ppms around 800 - 1000 or deficiencies appear.
DD starting to fade and CK still in bud formation. Feeding CK 1/4 bloom nutes and DD 1/2 bloom nutes. Water days feeding low dose flora nectar. PH for both plants 6.4/6.3 and ppm 300/1000-1900.
hey there Catova, it maybe looks beautiful, but i'm sorry to say it's actually P deficiency, this you can see from the discoloration starting on the leafs . Just add a PK booster or a (diluted) banana peel tea if you're going natural. Hope this helps ! 🚀
DD is close to harvest and have been feeding only water for the last week. Will water one last time and then harvest towards the end of the week. CK is still 2-3 weeks away and applied 1/2 bloom nutes feeding last week.
Grew tall and lanky, and buds were golf ball size. No real problems occurred until 4 thorough 6 weeks of flower when a small dose of PK booster and 1/2 bloom nutes feeding we’re applied. Could have used multiple full bloom nutes feeding maybe spaced two weeks a part.
Last feeding was 1/2 bloom nutes, increased light to 100%, and watering approx every 4 days. Last feed ppm reading was 1500/900 and ph 6.5/6.4. Adjusted light distance to approx. 18-22 inches to get more ppfd. Ppfd measruing approx between 450 and 650. Hopefully only two weeks left.
