Popped 1 Nirvana Blue Dream fem seed on the new moon (7/13). 18 hours of light under dome w/ 2 T-5 4k.
Solo Cup 7/17. First water no nutes @6.0ph.
7/24 first light nutes GH Flora Series 2ml Micro/1ml Veg/1ml Bloom & 2ml Rapid Start.
Next week, depending on root mass I'll move into a 1 gallon pot and place it under the 315W CMH
Interesting experiment coming up about CMH, I'm using one 315W too. I can't really consider 600W hps because the lamp distance of 60cm is annoying, and it's probably too hot to handle in my room. I may add some COB LED light, but I am very happy with the CMH bud. Looks similar to this one in structure (From my Critical XXL grow)
Hey bro! Awesome grow! I’m running in the Fastbuds iPhone contest , if you could stop by my 2xGSC-COCO journal and leave a comment I’d really appreciate it! Goodluck!
From the leaf damage on week 8 - it looks reminiscent of either a leafhopper (strip damage), or spider mites (pinprick damage). I just finished the same strain and they were susceptible to the same thing, esp the spider mites. Just keeping them in check is a chore (complete removal seems almost impossible), but it doesn't affect yield or degrade performance. Check the undersides of the leaves. I hold mine by the stem and rotate them 180. If you do find them, they'll look like dots - adults are easy enough to kill just by gently smearing the bottom side of the leaf, the eggs can be harder depending on how many there are. Sometimes I'd just pinch the whole leaf. Leafhoppers hide on the stems in the middle of the plant and will come out to eat at night.
Thanks for the info. I'll check them out tonight under a jewler's loop. But it seems to have more or less gone away, I haven't found any leaves over the past week or so that has similar damage.
