Stella’s Trio

6/4/22 Today starts week 2, and I’m shifting to the Early Growth step 3 on the nutrient feed chart. It’s the same as step 2 which was started on 6/2/22. At the time of this feeding I hadn’t moved #1 & #3 to their forever homes yet, but I am going to do it today. The reason I mention it is to explain why the plants received different amounts of solution. #1 & #3 received 1/2 cup of solution and #2 & #4 received 3 cups. The new nutrient levels were mixed into a gallon of water in order to use for all my plants in the small tent. They received: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 3.8 ml FloraGro - 5.7 ml FloraBloom - 2.8 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml The initial pH was 6.3 and didn’t need adjusting. The TDS was 667 ppm. The runoff levels were as follows: #1: pH - 6.2, TDS - 1544 ppm #2: pH - 5.8, TDS - 3467 ppm #3: pH - 6.1, TDS - 2246 ppm #4: pH - 6.0, TDS - 3061 ppm All four of these young ladies are looking wonderfully healthy right now, and I’m hoping that they stay that way. Space is going to be at a premium after I transplant #1 & #3 later today, but it needs to be done in order for them to stay on par with the other 2. I forgot to look at and write down the tent temperature and humidity at the time I fed them, so I’m listing what it is right now. The humidity was somewhere in the 60% range then, but now after feeding it’s 86%. The temperature is 88F. Everything is going wonderful so far. Happy growing everyone! P.S.: I have since moved #1 & #3 into their forever homes. 6/6/22 Today was a crazy, rushed, and incomplete day! I ran out of solution before I had the chance to feed all of my baby girls what they needed. #1 & #3 each received 3 cups of solution, but #2 & #4 only received 1 cup each. I didn’t have time to make a new batch and to finish feeding them. Seeing how they both are bigger and more developed than the others, I’m not really worried about it. I finished off the solution I made the other day, so the nutrient levels are all the same as the previous note from 6/4/22. The pH going in was 6.3, and TDS was 667 ppm. Runoff from #1: pH was 6.0, and TDS was 2501 ppm. #3: pH 6.0, and TDS 2754 ppm. Neither #2 or #4 had any runoff to measure. I measured them today; #1 is 5 inches tall, #2 is 7.5 inches tall, #3 is 4 inches tall, and #4 is 7 inches tall. I took off a pair of leaves from both #2 &4 today because they were getting ridiculously large. The others aren’t ready for that just yet. The tent temperature was 86F, but the humidity was astronomical at 91%. I went ahead and installed the carbon filter and exhaust blower to remedy this problem, and to improve ventilation. I didn’t take any pics today, but I will tomorrow. I shouldn’t be rushed tomorrow, so they will get all the attention they need then. Happy growing everyone! 6/7/22 I mixed a new gallon of nutrients today and each of my ladies received 4 cups. The solution contained the following: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 5.7 ml FloraGro - 7.6 ml FloraBloom - 3.8 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml My TDS meter stopped working properly today right after getting the TDS value for this gallon. It worked fine when I mixed everything, but would only display “6 ppm” afterwards regardless of what I put it in. I won’t be documenting any TDS data till it’s fixed or replaced. Luckily my pH meter is still working just fine. The initial pH was 6.1. I added 2 ml of pH UP which adjusted the pH to 6.6. The TDS measured 796 ppm (the last good measurement). Runoff was sufficient for each plant and was as follows: #1: pH 5.9 #2: pH 5.9 #3: pH 6.0 #4: pH 5.8 The humidity problem seems to have been solved after installing the carbon filter and blower inside the tent yesterday. The temperature was 82F, and humidity was 54%. That’s a hell of a lot better than 91%! My lovely ladies are doing wonderful! In fact, they seemed to grow about an inch over night. They’ll be ready to flip before too long. My grow room is insane right now, but a good kind of insane! Happy growing everyone! 6/9/22 I’m a day behind in documentation. Forgive me. This is the fourth diary entry I’ve written ….. Well, if you read my diaries, the entries can be a bit long. Sorry. At least tonight I want to be short. Stella’s Cuatro are growing extremely tall, but just like clones , they tend to develop secondary branches a little slower, but they do develop them. Today each of them received 4 cups of a gallon of water I mixed with the following: I increased the nutrients to the Late Growth step 4 on the Flora-Trio 6-part feeding chart. CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 7.6 ml FloraGro - 8.5 ml FloraBloom - 4.7 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml The initial pH was 6.1. I added 1.5 ml of pH UP which adjusted it to 6.4. The TDS was 783 ppm, but I don’t know if that can be trusted. My TDS meter is acting up. Runoff was as follows: #1: pH - 5.5 She is 9 inches tall. #2: pH - 5.9 She is 11.5 inches tall. #3: pH - 5.4. She is 8 inches tall. #4: pH - 5.5 She is 10.5 inches tall. The temperature in the tent was 79F, and humidity was 65%. I want to go ahead and flip them before they get too damn tall like their mother plant. Right now she’s 40.5 inches tall, and I topped her! I’ll figure it out. Happy growing everyone!
