08.08.22 . 01:00 - Well here we go again! Just started to germinate the seeds, WW on the row to the left and NL on the row to the right. ( the 6 in between are empty).
09.08.22 . 01:00 - I can already see the first sprout:) (WW). This germination kit from Royal Queen Seeds is really fast, easy to use and high germ rate! ( Had 20/20 germ last time, and last one germ on day 3).
10.08.22 . 01:00 - 2 NL and 2 WW above the soil! Think it is time to get the pots ready with the soil, will use 3 gallon pots this time:)
10.08.22 . 23:00 - I mixed the 3 gallons with some clay pellets for drainage about an inch on the bottom layer, Filled up with Plagron Lightmix, and dug out a hole on about 2 inch deep and 2-3 inch wide to be filled with plagron seedlings and cuttings soil. And i mixed in about 5-10g Mycorrhiza from RQS into the soil in each pot. 5 out of 6 have sprouted, so i will start the timer for day 1 on them all, 11.08.22.
11.08.22/D1 - Starting the timer today. Forgot to set the light timer switch on, so lights have been on the whole time since i put them in the tent. Going to set it for 4 hours rest now, and start the timer, hopefully the last seed will sprout when lights are out:) (Will put a seed to germ with a hydrogen peroxide solution about 1% peroxide. I have seen a study that shows that this solution will ramp up the germ process very much:)
12.08.22/D2 - They are on their first hours of darkness now. Germinating a seed with the solution mention above, lets see who is first:) When i water at this stage i only mist them with water from a sprayer bottle, on the seedlings and the soil just around it, doing this every 6-8 hours.
13.08.22/D3 - Well the seed germinated in 23 hours. It is completely out of the shell.. Think i will try to transplant it once the lights are back on!:)
I planted the stuff from inside the shell in the soil and misted it with water ph 6.3. I just sprinkled some Plagron seedling and cutting soil over the seed stuff and misted with water. I hope to see some development soon. The other 5 seem to thrive, still have some seed caps stuck on some leafs, but i think they will fall off naturally if i keep misting them with water:)
14.08.22/D4 - Germinating a few northern lights. so i dont have too much of a gap between the others in the tent.
15.08.22/D5 - Will add 100ml of water (just to the soil, not misting) with 1ml/l plagron pure zym, once a day from now, and mist them if they need additional water. I had to string up 1 of the seedlings (WW) since she had trouble staying up.
16.08.22/D6 - Well i managed to give them a small light burn because i did not tune in ppfd. I was using a chart for 18/6 on/off lights, and DLI with same ppfd on 20/4 was way too high. So i lowered the ppfd, got DLI on 10-11 around the seedlings now. Will up it to 14 DLI, in a day or 2 and see how they respond. Other then that i keep giving them 100Ml of water w/ pure zym. Still waiting on the last seed to sprout.. will be a week+ after the others.
18.08.22/D8 - Well i made it to the 2nd week, and got a new seedling in the tent. Now i just have to figure out if i should keep the light at the same ppfd because of the new seedling, or if i should raise the others abit up with something. Will most likely go for the latter, so i can keep them all close to the suggested ppfd ammount. They recovered very well from the small incident i had with the lights last week, that gave them a tiny light burn.
19.08.22/D9 - Watered them with 100-150 ml of water with 1ml/l pure zym. PH 6.3 ppm : 36.
21.08.22/D11 - Gave them about 200 ml of water with 1ml/l pure zym. Raised the lights to 15-16 DLI over canopy ( the small seedling gets 14 DLI because of placement in tent and lower height).
22.08.22/D12 - Today i decided to water with runoff and some small dosage of nutes, as normal i should have done the oposite and watered with plain water first to see ppm as the soil i use is ferilized. I tried to water with Firsh force, pure zym, plagron terra grow and plagron sugars. with 1/4 of the recomended. i ended up on 315 ppm in the water and ph 6.5. I gave WW1 a 2,7L of this solution, and had runoff on 0.9L, ppm was 1660. I then let her rest for 20 min, and did the same again with only water and pure zym, ph 6.6, ppm 40. 2.7l, got 1,3l runoff ppm 1240, ph 6.6. I decided to water the rest aswell with only water and zym. ph 6.5-6.6. Got 1320 ppm of the first plant i watered (NL1) after the WW1, so i guess i will just have to trust the soil fertz untill the ppm is around 5-600 i guess.
25.08.22/D14 - Starting week 3. Did not get any pics the last 2 days becuase of some private matters. They are growing fine, i had to lower DLI because i stunted the seedling with too much light. it is 10DLI on the seedling, 12-15 on the others ( The further away from the seedling the higher DLI of course). I did this 2 days ago. I also gave the seedling water today w/pure zym. PH. 6.0. 400ml.
- Will top these plants above 4th node, and i will also clean out the 2 bottom nodes so it will be 6 branches in total that i will have to LST. Doing this as i think it will be a better structure for airflow between soil and bottom canopy, it may have been the reason i got bud rot on my last run so will take all cautions i can to prevent this happening again. Will also do a defoliation later on, in early flower for the same reason.
26.08.22/D15 - Think i may have some deficiency on WW 3, Calcium maybe ? And some clawing tips of NL2. I might overreact but the rust spots have spread, and seem be some purplish spots on 1 leaf. ( was just usual marks/spots. Think the one with rust spots was to close to the humidifier).
27.08.22/D16 - Today i topped 2 of the girls, WW1 and NL2. I removed the 2 lowest branches on both aswell. I had to water WW3 and NL1 as they were almost dry. Did 3.5L on both, with 36ppm pure zym 1ml/l, ph 6.5, temp 22.2. Runoff: 1L, 6.6 ph. ppm 1680. I dont know why the ppm is skyrocketing, i have not used any fertz. EIt can be mycorizha fungi that i added who spikes ppm, or it can be the soil fertz that is ramping. I will wait and see if they react bad i will do a full flush on them all and get a unfertilized soil only next time.
28.08.22/D17 - Decided to flush them all since the ppm in the runoff was 1700ppm almost 400ppm higher then last time. Next time i will use another soil with no fertz or just prep this one before next grow, i want to give it my own nutes and have more controll. i flushed them all 5 ( Going to flush the little one soon).
to good runoff ppm levels.
Runoff :
WW1: PPM: 562 , PH: 6,6
WW2: PPM: 576 , PH: 6,5
WW3: PPM: 559 , PH: 6,6
NL1: PPM: 544 , PH: 6,7
NL2: PPM: 474 , PH: 6,4
Gave them all 1ml/l b-52 and pure zym in the end. I let the lights stay on for 24 hours today and let the humidity down to 50% so they can easier dry up abit, i feel i have lesser chance to mess them up after a good flush this way.
PPFD is on: 110 (seedling) and 160-190 on the others. DLI is 12 on seedling, 14-15 on the others. (DLI is calc with 20 hours).
29.08.22/D18 - Set the DLI from 16 on seedling and 17-19 on the rest. And i topped and removed the 2 lowest branches on WW2 and WW3.
30.08.22/D19 - Topped and trimmed NL1 and watered NL3 with 300 ml and pure zym 1 ml/l around the stem.
31.08.22/D20 - NL1 is growing good, so i guess the topping did not stunt her:) I noticed some of the new growth on a couple of plants got yellow tips, will check this late when i lst the NL2.
High,
So when you water with runoff you are probably measuring the runoff for ppm right?
This is not the right way to do it because you will measure the build up salts and nutritions that RUN OFF the soil. That is why you water till runoff because you want the build up salts and nutrients out of your pot. And replace them by new fresh nutrients.
When you want to measure the pH or ppm from your soil just follow these steps:
1. Place soil sample about ¾ full in sample jar and add distilled water to cover soil.
2. Cap the jar and shake the soil vigorously a few times.
3. Let mixture stand 10 minutes to dissolve the salts in the soil.
4. Place the pH or ppm tester into the wet soil slurry.
5. Measure pH or ppm and record measurement.
Happy Growing! 😋
01.09.22/D21 - 3 weeks sinne germ now, and i am very happy with this grow so far:)
Have done some minor leaf tucking to bring out the shoots. And i tied down NL2 as she was reaching alot higher then the others. I did this by tying an "anchor" to the other side so the roots wont rip up, just in case i pull a bit too hard:)
02.09.22/D22 - WW3 is in preflower 06:40.
03.09.22/D23 - Flushed NL3 to remove salts from soil and finished off with a feed. 430 ppm, ph 6.3. Runoff: 430 ppm, 6.5 ph. Gave all the white widows this same feed aswell, should have upped their feed some more then i did, but i figured i might use cal mag as foliar in a day or 2.
Runoff - Ph in feeds was 6.3-6.4
WW1: 4.5L) - 490 ppm, 6.6 ph, 1.9L
WW2: 4.5L) - 490 ppm, 6,6ph, 2.3l
WW3: 5L) - 517 ppm , 6.6ph, 2.9l
NL1: 4.5) - 527 ppm , 6.7ph, 2.5l
NL2: 5.5L) - 495ppm, 6.5ph, 2.5l
Added +1 ml/l plagron grow to NL1 and NL2. This gave a total ppm of 580. Should have done this before on the others aswel but i did not see how much ppm they have used before i was done with all the WWs unfortunatly. I even think this is a low feed now on these plants, and i will probably head for a 800-900 ppm next time maybe more so i can water/feed/water/feed. Npk 20-14-11
NL 1 and 2 got 23-15-14.
I also added mycorrhiza to them all ( gave them a good chunk each spread out in the soil. I figure since this might be a low feed i will maybe use sensi cal mag as defoliar in a day or 2 since it got plenty of micronutrients in it.
Also started to do some small lst, leaf tuck and clocking, but unfortunatly as you can see in the pictures, i broke a branch on WW2. I tried to tie it up, but iti figured it might get a problem later and then break, so decided to make take it away now so she can focus on the other branches early on. I found out i was watering the plants right before lights off so i just let them stay for 24 hours with light today. I tuned up the lights, DLI is now 22 on the NL3 and 29-32 DLI on the rest:) Did some LST today aswell, tried some diffrent techniques now just to get a better light penetration. This run i am using some clamps instead so it is easier to adjust ties when they grow.
04.09.22/D24 - Removed some ties as they seem to «suffocate» growth on those parts, i may have done it too tight..
But the rest is growing good after i tuned up the lights and gave them their first real feed. The plagron fish force is making the whole tent smell dead fish.. pretty unfortunate that i have the tent in my bedroom now:/
I misted NL1 and 2 with pH 6.5 water and 1ml/l sensi cal mag ppm 260 npk 4-0-0. Used this because it has nitrogen and they did not turn greener like the others after the feed 2 days ago.
05.09.22/D26 - NL 1 and NL2 did get greener, not completely so i gave them a new mist of cal mag , pH 6.1. Hopefully this will hjelp them untill next feed:)
Also did some leaf tucking, clocking and tied some branches down.
Topped and trimmed 2 lowest branches on NL3 today aswell.
06.09.22/D26 - Raised DLI to 28 above NL3 and 32-35 DLI on the rest. Will feed them some nutes again today, 875ppm, npk 18-15-13. will add 1 ml bloom to the ww3 since she is in pre flower.
07.09.22/D27 - Spotted something white Powdery on my NL2. It was a dead sprout who got attacked, i removed the stem, going to monitor her close too see if it spreads.
08.09.22/D28 - Gave them some leaf tucking and training. Hard to train WW1 and 2 and NL1, they are much more compact. But i will do my best. I also noticed they got a small light burn, so i reduced the lights abit untill i got home, and they looked better again:) I then reorganized the tent abit since it got some more hot spots and cold spots on DLI. and i raised the WW3 since she is in pre flower so she gets 40 DLI at canopy tops. NL3 getting 30 DLI, NL 1 30, NL2 33, WW 1 35, WW2 33. I also fed Nl 2, WW and WW2 with the same solution i made. (Listed in diary notes). Npk was 17-16-15, They recieved 5L each, ppm was 605 and ph 6.5 on NL2 and ww1, WW2 ppm 630 ph 6.4.
Runoff NL2 - ph 6.5, ppm 595, 1.8l / WW1 - ph 6.6 . ppm 625, 2.3l / WW2 - ph 6.4, ppm 630, 1.8l. I now know i can safely feed them 1000-1200 ppm next time, and get the water/feed/water/feed routine on them:)
09.09.22/D29 - Watered NL1, NL3 and WW3 today
NL1: 685 ppm, ph 6.4, 5l. Run: ppm 650, ph 6.7, 2l
NL3: 630 ppm, 6,4 ph, 5l. Run: ppm 693, ph 6.4, 1,8l
WW3: 680 ppm, 6.4 ph, 5l. Run: ppm 575, 6.6, 1.8l
Set ppfd to 500 and 35 DLI above canopy tops now (had a bad diffuser so readings was wrong, closer to 50 DLI).
I decresed to 60% on my 200w and 100w.
10.09.22/D30 - Watered NL2 again today, i just doubled the current feed i had + 1ml/l sensi cal mag. Gave her 6l of 1130 ppm, 6.3 ph. Run: 990 ppm, 6.3 ph, 2,6l.
She is hungry.. i need to up feed more next time. Tuned the lights, 32-35 dli on NL2 ( she is alot higher). and 30-34DLI on the rest.. Will find something i can elevate the others with today.
11.09.22/D31 - Elevated 5 of the plants so they are about equal height! And i tuned the lights to about 34-35 DLI above canopy tops. Having some trouble with humidity today, will get some dehumidifier bags tomorrow.
WW3 is now in Flower from : 09.09.22, NL1 and WW2 did enter preflower yesterday 10.09.22.
12.09.22/D32 - Woke up to 75% humidity in the tent, tried to air it out, but only got it down to 69%. Got some dehumidifier bags, and after 2 hours the humidity is nown at normal values, 50%. The plants are really bushing up, i got some more clip ons and tied them all down. also decided to defoliate some since the humidity was so high and i have poor airflow right now ( waiting on fans). I think i might have overdone it on a couple of them, hopefully they will bounce back fast!:) Also seem to have some curled leaves and yellowing tips, set the light down to 50% on both panels. giving 25-30 DLI over the canopy tops.
13.09.22/D33 - Woke up to 70% humidity in the tent today aswell, got it down to 60%, need to figure out what is happening, the dehumidifier bags seem to be defect already..
14.09.22/D34 - Again the humidity was 70%, had to turn of the ac as it got too cold, and installed a temporary fan outside with the tent open, only shit is that i watered 4 plants and it reeks dead fish in the whole damn apartment now, because of plagron fish force. But i managed to get the RH down to 58% now, and temp to 20. Will try to find a decent dehumidifier tomorrow. I also tuned the DLI up again, giving them 30-32 DLI over canopy tops. (Will tune it up again in 2 days if they dont react bad to this).
Watering :
WW3 - 1080 ppm, 6.3 ph, 7l . Run: 1080 ppm, 6.3 ph, 2.0l
WW2 - 1060 ppm, 6.3 ph, 6l . Run: 1100 ppm, 6.4 ph, 2,2l
WW1 - 1080 ppm, 6.3 ph, 6l . Run: 1010 ppm, 6.4 ph, 2.3l
NL1 - 1090 ppm, 6.2 ph, 6l . Run: 846 ppm, 6.5 ph, 2,6l
15.09.22/D35 - Super cropped the same branch again on WW3. She already grew up and a bit higher then yesterday. Think she is going into flower stretch now! I see i could give them more nutes, but i rather underfeed then overfeed before i get this feeding all tuned in.
Watered NL2 and NL3 today
NL2: 1350 ppm, 6.2 ph, 7l . Run: 1320 ppm, 6.2 ph, 3l .
NL3: 1020 ppm, 6.2 ph, 7l . Run: 901 ppm, 6.3 ph, 2.6l .
Gave NL2 the solution listed in diary, gave NL3 last weeks solution as she is behind 1 week.
16.09.22/D36 - I got a dehumidifier for the tent, finally solved my RH problem:)
18.09.22/D38 - Super cropped a shoot on WW3 again, she is really stretching now, and i accidentally broke a side shoot on NL2. It is so crowded in the tent, will have to be more carefull. I also defoliated some on WW1, NL2 and WW2, to get some better airflow in the center + added some more light to some shoots. I gave NL2, WW2 and WW3 water with nutes. listed in diary. ( changed some grow with bloom on WW2 and WW3 since they are in flower. also gave WW2 1 ml/l less of grow/bloom and 1ml/l less fish).
NL2: 1730 ppm, 6.3 ph, 6l . Run: 1760, 6.3, 2.7l
WW2: 1600ppm, 6.3 ph, 6l . Run: 1510, 6.2, 2l
WW3: 1690ppm, 6.3 ph, 6l . Run: 1730, 6.3, 2l
18.09.22/D38 - Today i see pistils from NL3, so next week i will switch the journal to flower as the only one who is not in pre-flower or flower now is NL2. I can see now that 6 autos was maybe too many for this tent, but i will keep humidity under 55% and try to create a good airflow.
watered WW2,WW3 and NL2
WW2: 1600 , 6.3 , 6l
Run: 1510 , 6.2 , 2l
WW3: 1690 , 6.3 , 6l
Run: 1730 , 6.3 , 2l
NL2: 1730 , 6.3 , 6l
Run: 1760 , 6.3 , 2.7l
19.09.22/D39 - Watered NL3 and WW1 today
NL3: 1440 6.4 , 6l
Run: 1540 , 6.3 , 1.7l
WW1: 1440 , 6.4 , 6l
Run: 1540 , 6.3 , 2l
I also dimmed the lights some as they keep growing into that light stress area, so i think i just will have to dim the lights untill they have reached their height and tune it back up to about 30-40 DLI when they are in flower.
20.09.22/D40 - Today i see a white pistil from NL2, the last one to turn into flower:) I also super cropped another shoot on WW3 that was a bit too high.
Watered NL1 : 1140, 6.5 , 6l.
Run: 1270 , 6.5 , 1,9l.
21.09.22/D41 - Watered WW3: 1490 , 6,3 , 6l.
Run : 1610 , 6,3 ,2l.
22.09.22/D42 - 6 weeks since germ and all are now in flower/preflower. Just gave NL2 some water with zym, pH 6,4, 43 ppm. Runoff : 390 ppm, so she ate about 1340 ppm since last feed. Will give her a new feed right away, as she will need more as she just entered pre-flower.
NL2 : 1510, 6.3 , 5l
Run : 1700, 6.3 , 2.7l.
Found mould in the soil, read that mychorizza might cause this
Got a heads up that i might feed them too heavy, and i was.. So i watered those who had more then 1000 ppm in the runoff.
NL2 run: 644, 6.3
NL3 run: 854, 6.3
WW2 run: 766, 6.3
WW3 run: 646, 6.9 ( gave a 6.5 ph water) .
23.09.22/D43 - Upped the light from 25-30 DLI over canopy tops, and removed dead leaves.
Water WW1 with pure zym: ppm 38, ph 6.1, 6l
Run: 751, 6.3, 2,3l
24.09.22/D44 - Hang up 2 pc fans for bottom air flow and removed dead leaves.
25.09.22/D45 - I made room for a 60x60x170 tent, and moved NL2 to the new tent, crossing fingers for a heavy harvest on her:) watering
NL2 : 38, 6.2, 5l
Run: 620, 6.4 , 1.8l
NL3 : 38, 6.4, 4.5l
Run: 400, 6.5 , 1.7l
NL2 : trying to bend her canopy towards the walls, to allow more light to lower shoots. Her DLI is 25-27 above canopy tops.
26.09.22/D46 - Trimmed 4-5 leaves that were blocking 2+ nodes, and tied 3 branches down/out on NL2.
Water
WW2: 36, 6.3, 5L / Run: 484 , 6.6 , 1.3l
NL1: ———"——— / Run: 566 , 6.4 , 1.2l
Watered down WW1 and WW3 with water. WW1 350 ppm and WW3 250 ppm. Gave them a new bloom after feed, listed in diary.
WW1: 695, 6.2, 5l / Run: 880, 6.2
WW3: 965, 6.2, 6l / Run: 752, 6.2
27.09.22/D47 - Water
NL3 : 700, 6.5, 6l / Run : 891, 6.4, 2.3l
NL2 : 700, 6.2, 5l / Run: 1080, 6.2
Supper cropped 2 shoots on NL2
28.09.22/D48 - Forgot to tune up the light in a couple of days, i raised it to 35-40 over canopy tops as they are all well into flower now. And the NL3 gets 20-30 in the corner.
That's called mycelium bro. Its beneficial. It'll go after a few weeks. The plant will eat it up, as it decays it gives your plant a great boost in many areas. Fungus is generally your friend, unless you see it on your plant. You are growing in soil. You have a good thing going buddy.
Now, some of it might go green, and look like mold. Even more so if you use any synthetic nutrients like a calmag. Try not to though. (As cal/mag in an organic grow is not good, especially with fungus. I can think of the name, but I know it'll cause issues. So if you can get an organic cal powder or just an organic cal and epsom salt. (If you have water above 170ppm you won't need calmag) but a dash of 250ppm Epsom salt never hurts during late flowering..
Good luck pal.
29.09.22/D49 - Got a new dehumidifier for the small tent, WW1 and WW2 was starting to show signs of wilting right before i watered them, they all have perked up again. It has also beena bit too hot, i can see some heat stress, so i turned on ac fan to blow cold air in to the grow room.
- got temps down, will water down WW2, since i see signs of clawing on her
I gave them all water first, then a feed since they all were low. I mixed up nutes as they are in diffrent stages and need diffrent levels of ppm. But at this stage i just tried to focus on giving them alot of phosphorus. Most of them had higher ph then i gave them, and as i understand this means they use alot of phosphorus.
01.10.22/D51 - Watered NL2 and NL3 gain with feed. I had what appears as a calcium deficiency on WW2, so i gave her a feed with 1ml/l cal mag. Hope this helps. I moved out the big fan i had in the bottow, and moved the pc fans 1 down with the pots and 1 between canopy and light to move heat away, since i figured the serrated edges and curled leafs might be caused from a wind burn. I might suscect that the light is too much, it can also be symptoms from wind burn, so i will just wait and see if the symptoms does not stop, i will tune down the light.
02.10.22/D52 - Tuned lights, big tent is 40 DLI around canopy tops, and small tent is 35 DLI. I see WW2 got more bronze and dried up leaves, will give her another feed with 2ml/l cal mag if she gets worse.
03.10.22/D53 - Was time to water NL2 again, i decided to top her with soil and added some mychorizza before i gave her water. The problem i forgot with this soil is that it ramps up ppm alot, so i now have to flush out those nutes and then i will add the solution listed in diary. I had to water her with 12 L water pH 6.2-6.3 to get her runoff ppm down from 773 to 247 ppm. Then i gave her 3l of 805 ppm, 6.3 pH so she would not starve. Runoff 347 ppm, 6.8 pH, 2.7l. Found this strange, so i added 3l more with the same solution, but only got 384 ppm in that runoff, not sure what is going on..
08.10.22/D58 - NL2 had some light stress, forgot to tune down lights in a couple of days. Was 70DLI, i lowered it down to 40 DLI again. Big tent is 40 DLI too, except NL3, she is so tall, so i am getting 90 DLI on top canopy, but the rest of her gets very low light as she stands in the corner, i turn her a quarter round each day, and it seem to work very good. Her frosting is really good, compared to the others that is closer to harvest:)
09.10.22/D59 - 600 ppfd, 40,2 DLI top canopy big tent, (NL3 is so tall, she gets 1700ppfd, 100dli on top canopy every 4th day, it actually works well as the she only gets 10-16 dli on the 3 other days. She is super frosty:)
Small tent NL2 40 DLI top canopy.
10.10.22/D60 - 45 DLI on the canopy tops in both tents, should be maximum of what they can handle without co2 supplement.
11.10.22/D61 - Today i did my first real defoliation and some lollipopping, was pretty fun, but i feel i could have taken down more, but at the same time i see the pile from NL2, and think i maybe did too much, i hope not.. Sadly i did not check her good enough, her top shoot was having light stress.. hope she will recover well. I tuned the light down from 45 DLI to 38 DLI on top canopy for NL2, will check on her in some hours. What is done is done i guess. The ww1 did not have much leaves on her to begin with, so i did go easy on her. I am happy about defoliation on NL1, i did not take too much from the bottom, but i think it is good enough for airflow. I could have taken nl3 too, but i have tied her up, and those ties works really good with leaf tucking, so i did not really see the need for it on her. The others i am letting be, as they are too far into bloom. I also brushed all the cuts with cinnamon powder, as this is root stimulant and helps the plant recover quicker and it helps aganst infections on the wounds + it read it is bug repellent, pretty neat!
12.10.22/D62 - NL2 recovered fast, in under 24 hours! The others seem happy too:)
13.10.22/D63 - Defoliated NL1 today, i tok off alot last week too but she had very much foliage and i guess i was a bit too careful with her last time. Besides that all is good! I had an accident when i brushed them with cinnamon, and i lost a small ammount down in NL2’s soil. It killed off all the good fungus i had in her soil.. a bit sad about that, but now i see how effective cinnamon is against fungus so it was worth it:)
15.10.22/D65 - I forgot to check in on them last night, the humidity in the big tent was 64% when i came home. The small tent with NL2 was on good 40%.
- ac stopped for 3 hours, and temps was 26 in the big tent and 28 in the small. Already see sign of heat stress, got temp back to 22-23 really fast, and got the ac running again.
16.10.22/D66 - Gave NL2 and NL3 only water today ppm 40 pH 6.1-6.3, but they have used alot of the nutes as i watered them with nutes 2 days ago, 900-1000 ppm runoff. Now they were on 250-280 ppm and 6.8-6.9 ph. I did not have time to give them a new feed, so i will do this once i get back home, i dont want them to run out of nutes this late into flower.
- i was concerned about them run out of nutes, but i got a couple good tips that they manage good on their own, and underfeeding is better then overfeeding and it is good to let them have feed/water/feed/water even if they use up their ppm . I feel very lucky to have people in here helping me out with these issues!:)
17.10.22/D67 - Temps is back to normal, i really dont see how temps could get too high yesterday as the conditions is the same today.. they still show serrated edges, but i guess this will fade away soon, 22.9 degrees and 45-50% rh, will check in on them in some hours. I hope this did not stunt them, i will buy a cam so i can record what is going on when i am away to easier adress these issues in the future.
18.10.22/D68 - I forgot to dial up the lights after i tuned it down last week. Was 35-38 dli around canopy tops since they reacted with light stress. tuned it up to 40-45 dli in both tents today. I see some new sugar leafs are turning yellow in the edges on WW3, will check this out. Also need to tie up more on WW2 as some of her branches can not hold the bud weight.
- Made an adjustment to the small tent and moved the dehumidifier outside the tent, hope this works as NL2 really need all the space in the tent.
19.10.22/D69 - The oscillating fan in the small tent stopped working. I placed a floor fan in there, will turn it around in some hours so the nl2 dont get wind burn.
Will replace it with a new oscillating fan soon.
if referring to picture 14 / 16 at the top of the plant, i'd wager it's light stress. but, those are fan leaves.
check ph, if proper that rules it out.
could be a bit of bun, but if slow moving or any tweaks lately i'd let it play out to be certain what it is before reacting. By 10 weeks in, you are probably providing near 100% of the plant needs and 750TDS is not extraordinarily high.. it's a generally safe range at which you could potentially feed every irrigation.
I can't see any of the sugar leaves in the pictures. I do see some damaged fan leaves.. mostly at the top and some at a node or two down from the top. Still think that's just light damage. 40-45DLI is a good chance of being too high for ambient CO2 levels. 45DLI definitely is.. 40 is borderline. Not all spaces have same co2 levels and your VPD is just as important to maximizing elevated CO2 use too.
20.10.22/D70 - 45 DLI in both tents. WW3 is close to harvest now, checked thrichomes but my hand is shaking too much to get a good pic. Need to practise more on this again:/ I was hoping on WW2 to be harvest ready aswell as i need the small tent for drying, but i see now it is maybe a week behind. Need to get creative to fit NL2 into the big tent when i chop WW3.
21.10.22/D71 - Got temps to 22-24 again, was on 18-19 a couple of days in the small tent, and 20-21, had some ac issues again. Waiting on some new pc fans as they dont occupie much space + all the clip on and regular fans were shit.
- The Trichomes on WW3 is turning cloudy/milky:)
22.10.22/D72 - I fed ww3 today, forgot i should half the feed as she is soon ripe. I dont flush, i only half the feed for a week before harvest. Instead i upped it. Gave her 1020 ppm today, but i will just have to delay the chop, worst case i will flush her good a couple of days before i chop her.
23.10.22/D73 - I was gone for 30 hours and NL1 used more water then usual, came back to a half wilted plant. Gave her a feed and she had also used all her nutes. Glad i gave her more. And when i checked the DLI it was way too much in the big tent, so they were also light stressed. (The app i used need a diffuser, it must have been something wrong with the one i used). I dialed it down to 38-40 DLI. I will check in on them again later to see if everything is as it should.
24.10.22/D74 - NL1 lower leafs are dying, but she looks much better then yesterday. Her leafs is yellow, when i watered her with 6.3 pH yesterday runoff was 6.9, so was a very bad time to let her go without water and nutes. This will probably set her back some but what is done is done. I see much signs of yellowing in the plants now, and i hope this is because they are close to harvest. NL2 and NL3 entered preflower almost at the same time, but NL2 seem to be further away from harvest. I think i stressed her some with lights (diffuser issues). NL2 dont smell much yet, but the big tent smells intense when i open it.
26.10.22/D77 - Well i figured out why NL2 had light stress.. i changed the sockets in the timer when i moved the wires outside the tent. I put the Carbon filter socket into the timer instead of the light socket.. and i have not been checking in on them when the lights were out before tonight:/ so the lights have been running 24 hours in the small tent with NL2. Have been some stressfull weeks for me, and apparently NL2 aswell:/ reduced the light and changed the sockets. Will dial up the lights when i see her recovering again:)
27.10.22/D77 -
29.10.22/D79 - 40 DLI on canopy tops, RH is 50-55 and temp is 21-23. Removed the hose and bucket for continiously drainage of the dehumidifier as the rh in both tents were rising after i set this up, i think the water evaporated in the room and cause this🤔
31.10.22/D81 - Defoliated and stretched out the canopy on most to get some air between buds, it was getting too dense in the lower canopy on NL1 and WW1. Also removed dead/damaged leafs on all of them.
01.11.22/82 - I had to tie up 5 branches aswell. I see nl2 getting too much light, so i dimmed it down to 60%, will check DLI later. She is very sensitive to light compared to the others. Temps Are 20-23 and rh 50-55.
02.11.22/D84 - After looking at WW3’s trichomes, she finally looks harvest ready, will chop her this weekend:)
03.11.22/D85 - Added a new grow tent.
04.11.22/D86 - Removed dead leaves from NL2.
05.11.22/D87 - Checked trichomes on NL3 and she is ready for chop:) Will do this in a couple of days together with WW3.
06.11.22/D88 - Chopped nl3 last night, was going to take down WW3 aswell but i needed sleep, and NL3 used all the space in the dry rack, so i am giving 24-48 hours of darkness to WW3 while i make my own drying rack. Moved NL2 to the other tent since i need Carbon filter in the dry tent. Hope to see some more resins on WW3 later if this darkness trick has something too it🙏
08.11.22/D90 - Removed some yellow leaves on NL2.
09.11.22/D91 - I think my northern light(s) might be more sensitive to light.. both are getting their leaves bleached, might need to elevate the white widows and tune the lights down a bit. Will see if this progress, can also just be that they are in late flower and this is then normal🤔🤔🤯
Yellowing leaves top of the plant, bottom is green as grass. Both my northern light is doing this. DLI is tuned down to 30-35 on canopy tops but they still keep yellowing. Temps is 17 o night rh 55-65. Day 20 degrees and 55-60 rh. Late flower on both.
Good strain to grow, very resistent and tall! Good dense buds, very happy about this outcome:)
06.11.22 - Harvested NL3 wet weight 453g. - Final Dry weight was 82g. That is 18% from wet weight.
15.11.22 - Harvested NL1 today and got 396g wet weight from her:)
- NL1, 69g Dry.
30.11.22 - Chopped NL2.
Wet - 693g
Dry - 151g
Solid strain to Grow! Recommend it to people who have height restricted grow rooms. Responds well to training.
Amazing yield for such a small plant.
WW3 Wet - 393g
WW3 dry - 89g
WW2 Wet - 439g
WW2 Dry - 67g
WW1 Wet - 425g
WW1 Dry - 91g
10.11.22/D92 - Checked the trichomes on NL1, WW1 and WW2. NL1 is ripe and ready for harvest but i dont have any space in the dry tent, also want 1 last watering on her with just water to reduce her salts. Was told it should not be a problem tho, only if she had any excesses. But i like to give them 1 plain watering before i chop them down. WW1 is budding again, and she had too much clear for my taste so did not take pics. WW2 i think got 1-2 weeks left. I did not check NL2 yet, but will probably do it on her next feed/watering.
11.11.22/D93 - Prepping NL1 for harvest, i watered her with water and pure zym . Ppm 13, pH 6.0. Runoff - 237 ppm, pH 7.2. Runoff pH was incredible high. I could wait for bigger buds, but i want to harvest once i see amber showing as i think this is her peak window:)
13.11.22/D95 - Prepped drying tent as i am going to chop down NL1 tomorrow.
14.11.22/D96 - Got some pics of WW2 trichomes, mostly cloudly, going to check her trichomes closely this week. Gave her a smaller feed, about 530 ppm as i want her to be ready for chop. I do not flush, i only lower/half their feed before harvest.,
16.11.22/D98 - NL2 has started to fatten up those buds, looking forward to harvest this one:) WW2 is not far from chop, i will see if she get any more sprouts by the weekend, if not i will check her trichomes again and probably take her down if i see milky/amber.
WW1 have a small cal def, probably mag aswell, or iron, as i see her veins is very white. I got all those elements in my cal/mag so i upped the dose on her abit this time, hopefully it will be enough for her:)
17.11.22/D98 - I picked a bunch of yellowing leafs from NL2 today.
18.11.22/D100 - I watered NL2 and WW2 a bit late, they were wilting on the lower side. A neglect from my side as i was sick. But they both perked up again, NL2 leaves are yellowing very much now, i picked another bunch off her. I think it is good as this makes light penetrate her lower canopy. I will also have to tie up some branches as her buds are getting too heavy for the stems.
19.11.22/D101 - I had to stop as nausea hit me, got 1 branch done eventually… Will have to finish her off when i feel a bit better. I put her in the darkness, so hopefully she gets some more resins and this will turn to something good:)
20.11.22/D102 - 3/5 branches down on WW2, and she is packed with elusive leafs and weak twigs.. hope to be done with her tomorrow🙏
22.11.22/D104 - Got done with WW2 last night🙌
Still taking down leafs from NL2 each day, she is fattening up really good! Measured some of NL2’s large colas, about 25-28 cm on 4 of them, will be some good buds from this one😊 WW1 is ripening up, will check her trichomes this weekend.
24.11.22/D105 - All good in the tent. NL2 is fattening up buds, and WW1 is close to finish.
26.11.22/D107 - Harvested WW1 today, only NL2 left for this grow. Will most likely chop her within a week.
27.11.22/D108 - Forgot to add trichome pics from WW1, i went for more amber on this one to see what is better for this strain. WW3 got the least ammount of amber and WW2 a bit more and WW1 have the most ammount of amber.
- NL2 is ready for chop, will harvest her when she has dried up.
28.11.22/D109 - Moved NL2 so i could fit both my herb dryers in the other tent, had make room for my new grow.
30.11.22/D111 - NL2 is going down today. 4 months growing, looking forward to see the result.
