In this grow it will be the first time using the Lumatek Zeus 600W Pro and AC Infinity T6
I will be testing using no veg nutrients in this grow and using only bloom nutrients at a lower rate than recommended by advanced nutrients
Germination- 3x 18litre fabric pots were filled with a Bio Bizz light mix, soil mixed with Ecothrive charge
1x 20litre fabric pot filled with a coco peat mix and is also mixed with Ecothrive charge.
The seeds were planted directly into soil at a depths of 1cm with a sprinkle of Great White Mycorrhizae before covering the see and then adding a few drips of water to moisten the soil.
2days after planting seeds all 4 have popped up
Light- Lumatek Zeus 600w Pro has been dimmed down to 50% with a hanging Hight of 24" from plant canopy for the veg stage
Extraction fan- ac infinity t6 fan and controller 69 to control temperature and humidity
temperature 24-28 degrees Celsius or 75.2-82.4 degrees Fahrenheit
humidity 50%-60%
Tent- bud box pro 1.5mx1.5mx2.0m white wall upgrade
I'm happy with the germination of the fast buds seeds 4 out of 4 sprouted in 2days, always top quality seeds from Fastbuds and with using only Fastbuds seeds for my last few grows I've yet to have a seed not germinate.
Things are going well for the first week i have been seeing a lot of growth and plants are all looking healthy.
Each plant has been watered twice in the first week of 250ml plain water only.
No nutrients for the first week.
Lumatek Zeus 600w pro dimmed to 50% with a distance of 24 inch from canopy.
Temperature have been 25-26 degrees Celsius lights on and 20 degrees Celsius with lights off.
Humidity has been between 45%-58%. humidity dropped so i have added a tray of water to the tent and that has brought humidity back up above 53%.
Overall im happy with how week 1 has gone there has been a lot of growth and the plants and looking healthy, The Lumatek Zeus pro 600w and ac infinity in combination has exceeded my expectations on how well the growth and temperatures has been with the Lumatek Zeus and how easy it is to dial in the environment with the ac infinity especially with the use of the ac infinity app.
start of week 2, things are looking good and i have been seeing good growth with good spacing between nodes and leaves and growing large with a nice vibrant green colour
First week of nutrients at a VERY LOW dose.
Each plant has been given 330ml of water with the measured nutrients from my feed schedule shown at the start of this diary
i add great white on a day when i am giving water only.
Lumatek Zeus 600w pro dimmed to 50% with a distance of 24 inch from canopy.
Temperature has been 25-27 degrees Celsius lights on and 20-21 degrees Celsius with lights off
humidity has been between 50%-57%. tray of water still in the grow tent to keep humidity up.
Day 11 i started some light LST giving the plant slight bend to the side of the pot, very little pressure put on the stem and a rubber coated wire making sure not to damage or stress the plant.
Day 11 i gave 500ml of plain water to each plant
Overall I'm happy with week 2 I've seen a lot of growth and the plants are looking nice and healthy. i left the plants for a few days to grow and recover (if needed) since day 11 when they were given light LST and watered.
Start of week 3 things are going well the plants were left for a few days after light LST on day 11 and the plants are starting to bush out and they have lots of new growth, I have now moved the light to 48 inches from the canopy to get them to stretch up a bit as they have quite dense growth, I will keep an eye on them over the next week and adjust the light to suit once I'm happy they have stretch enough.
No other LST since day 11 apart from tucking leaves daily to allow light and growth to lower sites
Day15 the plants have started to stretch a little overnight from moving the light up to 48 inches so will continue to check over the next week then adjust light to suit and will continue to tuck leaves daily to allow lower growth.
Lumatek Zeus 600W Pro is 50% dimmed at a hanging height of 48 inches to allow the plants to stretch in height.
(Update day 19 the light is at a hanging Hight of 48 inches with it now running 100% power)
AC Infinity T6 has been keeping temperature and humidity at a stable temperature of 26-28 degrees Celsius and humidity of 55%-60%
Day 16 the plants were watered 500ml each with nutrients following my feeding schedule
Day 20 plants watered with plain water and great white mycorrhizae (highly recommended for any grow)
start of week 4
Things are going well and seeing a lot of growth and stretching as i had hoped,
lumatek zeus pro 600w is at a hanging Hight of 48 inches running 100% power
ac infinity has been keeping humidity between 50-63% and the temperature has been between 25-30 degrees Celsius ( a bit hotter that i would like so thinking to upgrade to the t8 fan for next grow)
Day 23 soaked all the soil in pots with plain water then the plants were watered following my feeding schedule with cal mag added
plants will be watered with plain water only later in the week
Day 22 LST has been done this week and some light defoliation to allow more light to the plant
opened up the tent and notice it is now starting to smell good, nothing too strong more when you first open the tent you notice it
Day 22 i have notice some pistols/stigmas appearing on most of the plants so we have now made its to the flowering stage.
PROBLEMS
Day 23 went into the tent and noticed a couple of rust spot on lower leaves on another plant so i have given a small feed with advanced nutrients cal mag and hopefully in the next couple of days will bounce back but no problems so far with the gorilla cookies
day 24 the plants have bounced back from lst and soaking the soil and more and more pistols are appearing so continuing to tuck leaves and make slight adjustments to the wires hold the branches
