Week 2 of veg under the screen and we had a couple issues crop up. Both related to each other. The lights were too close and since heat is not an issue the plant was trying to figure out how to use all those photons and she started to show the start of some serious cal/mag issues along with others. The pH has been steady between 6.4 and 6.6 so lockout problems I thought not. First thing first I moved the COBs up to 32 inches.
I then remembered that that mother plant had been sucking her original medium dry of nutrients over a three month period before being uppotted to this and I really did not breakup the root mass like I should have thus trapping all that old dirt in it. So I upped the amount of Mega Crop and added their cal/mag supplement along with their Sugar Candy additive.
Issues started to look better and she started stretching out under the screen faster. I have been re-tucking the bud sites out a little more everyday. She has filled almost 2/3 of the screen and since I really don’t know what I’m doing, I’m flipping her light schedule to 12/12 after today. Then she can start her stretch and hopefully the rest of the screen gets filled in rather quickly.
Awesome. I’m doing a Super Skunk in the exact same style. Almost identical.
Can’t wait to see how yours turns out. I’m still 2-3 weeks away from flipping to flower as I want to fill my 120cm x 120cm canopy as much as I can. I’m about to start a journal on it so if you’re interested, check it out when it’s up. Good luck!
@HemiSync, no worries bro. When I get around to it, I will start a diary for them and get it up to speed. I’m currently at Day 11 of flower, so I have some uploading to get done.
Im totally new to growing indoors or at all, the whole raise the plant to help push it the scrog screen...genious. Im def gonna follow use for helpful tips like that. Keep up the good work. They look great!
@Greenthumb4488,
Thanks for the kind words. I actually raised the pot to add more room under the net to be able to get under her and clean up all the foliage under the screen. Now the buds are getting so close to my lights I might have to lower her back down again. Not a task I wish to do.
@Tophat,
Thanks, I’m hoping it just produces bud, I will work on filling the tent next time. 😂 This is just my training wheels run. Next time I’ll do it right with a new plant, not an old mother.
@simps,
Thanks for the kind words. I agree they are from the soil. I use mushroom compost in my mix, but they don’t normally show mushrooms. The mix must be on track if it’s able to grow mushrooms.
