5/13 Another week starts, full of growing bliss! Twiggy and Zoey are doing great, and the recent lollypopping should start pushing the main buds to really bulk up. One more week of growth, then I plan a week of drought stress to see if I can crank the cannabinoids up higher. Why not? Wish I was working with clones so I could do a proper A/B test of cannabinoids with a Cannalytics TLC test. Added 2nd feed cycle at mid-day. Same fert mix, EC1.8 5/16 - cut out 2nd feed cycle and just upped the time on main feed to get 10% runoff. EC 1.78, pH5.6, PPFD 1400-980 on edges. CO2 mostly in 600-700 range because wife's office is in basement too, and she's putting in a lot of hours 😋 5/17 - Yes, the plants look great. Yes, there is no sign of stress at all. But, for fucks sake, I let the EC of the Leachate get away from me. Measured what was going in just fine, but only checked leachate in first few weeks. Checked today and it was about 3.8EC 😮 SO, cleaned out fert tank and pumps, filled with tap water, pH to 5.4 and added the rest of my Silica Boost. Flushed both pots with about 5 gal of nice, clean water, and got leachate EC down to 1.6. Yay! Now we're almost ready to drought stress these gals! Going let these drain down a bit and dry out, then give one more feed by hand at 1.5EC before inducing some stress. 5/19 - Reservoir is empty of the flushing solution, so starting drought stress as of this morning. We'll see! 5/20 - speaking of stress, exhaust fan SSR failed and didn't vent at all today. Temperature up to 92 for a few hours 🙄😬😡

Grow Questions

Ok y'all, was hoping for a simple, hands off grow with just one topping early on. These babies have turned into dense bushes, and I want to defoliate the undercarriage a bit. Fan leaves are huge from the base to the top, so do I just prune out the lower, older fans?

I'm 4 weeks into flower. Plant is super healthy and bushy. Want to thin it down. Can I take some cuttings to clone? Should I put the cuttings back to 18/6 or keep them at 12/12?

Hello. Yes you can take clones almost anytime in the plants life, except the end. They need to go back to 18/6. It is best to take clones just before you switch to flower. the more a plant goes in and out of flowering it looses a bit of vigor. Most strains can go back and forth only a few times before it's not that strong anymore. Also beware that the clone taken in flowering will show weird mutated leaves for a while and it won't be ready for flowering again for at least a month before you get normal leaves out of it and it's gone back to veg. There is a big struggle with the hormones when you take clones in flowering and wanting them to go to veg.. So expect some strange growth before going back to veg. Good luck. Chuck.

How high in power should I go with my lights without CO2 enrichment? I can comfortably provide 1200 PPFD to the canopy, but I'm holding it down near 900 because I'm not sure the extra power used would yield an increase in, um, yield.

always crank out the light if you can ride it out. thing is wierdness starts happening for example you need a lot more calcium and magnesium. the way you're feeding right now, you would have to change quite a lot of the "hands off approach" like you might need to start spraying the leafs with cal mag, monitor it more closely etc. totally worth it especially at the begning and middle of flower, just start turning it down quite a lot towards the chop, get that taste in there. Hope this helps ! 🚀
