Welcome to my Kannabia Dream Sherbet Auto Diary.
Week 5, PreFlower Days 4&5 Days 29&30 since sprouting. Plant is taking everything I've given it really well. Haven't touched her in way of LST, removed a few choice leafs, that's about it. In the next few days. After she puts about another 10cm on, I'll train and lock her shape in. I've lollipopped a lot of the lower growth. So, there really isn't much to defoloate. Not that I want to either. As, the grow is going well. And no stalls, defs, or toxs. Good healthy strong growth. And really happy with this strain. Can't think of what it would be like if she had of been topped. Gave her cal/Epsom Salt feed on day 28 going into day 29. And today she was given short flowering/Hybrid Powder from Green House Feeding. Light 650ppm diet, -110ppm ambient tap. Trying to keep it light. After doing some juggling with plants after I flipped 5 of my fems today. So, when my 100cm2 goes into 12hr dark, I swap out the plants after the 6hrs normal rest that I don't want flipped, and put my autos from the 70x70 into the spots were the fems are, and they get a 6hr rest while the fems get back on a 75% 100watt. I know you are probably saying why don't I put my fems who aren't flipped into the 70cm2 but then there's no room, as when the big tent is in dark, it's just easier to do it this way. When I flip my other 3 fems then I'll have to put 5- 6 autos into my 70x70 but hopefully by then, they'll have gotten a decent dose of a 300watt and should make up for a packed tent. I thought I'd get away with 15plants, 1.5m2 not big enough, but I'll make it work. As they are all at different stages, for this very reason. I think I should of made the gaps a little longer though. But then, I'd have issues with high/low RH during veg/flowering. So, doing this now, all within a 3-4 wk flowering period and after all them are past or well into preflower then I'll drop the RH. Gosh, that's confusing, even for me, and I'm running it. Oh, the days of my 150cm2 I miss. 2.2cm2 was so much more, I just thought I'd have the space. As I had room to step in my other tent.
PreFlower Day 6 31 days total. Plant is growing well. Super healthy and lovely growth. Real pleasure to deal with this beauty. She stands at 45cm tall. Has a lovely shape, and lots of bud sites.
PreFlowerDays 7-10 Lovely growth this week. She is giving off a lovely aroma. Somewhat sweet, have only had that of my 1 or 2 plqnts this early into apreFlower, I haven't had a sherbet weed yet that I know off.. I'm sure ive tasted similar traits in other weeds, but never a sherbet.
Isn't it a a great thing. When you can turn around, look out, across a healthy crop. And say hey. "After nearly a yr, your about 1/10th of knowing what you need to know to become a real "grandmaster", I look forward to that day. But for now. Pretty darn good will survive. She's at 56cm now. That's 10cm of good normal growth in 3-4 days, no excess stretching. In the perfect normal range. I think ppl get bogged down in how big they can put on in preflower. When in reality. Unless your outdoors you want your plant to stay small and have some girt, (be bushy and with a good brance structure). Unless you got money to burn reaching down into a 100+cm canopy is just not smart. As most often, you'll see experienced growers lollipop when it gets too big. (So my point is. Try keep the temperature in a 4c range. If you can't. And growing autos and wanna get some rest in and save some coffers do 4Γ1hr breaks. If your temp drop is more then 4+c then this will slow down any excess growth. As it takes a bit for them to stretch, (meaning they have to be in cold temps for long periods of time to notice any serious unwanted stretching) if you are growing fems. It's best to have your light go off in the day when you flip and for your light to come on at night when it's coldest, espically in preflower. You want no stretching. So think it out. And when its past preflower and you want that cold drop for terps and so on. Just leave your light off for a set mount of hrs until its next to come on (skip the night time turn on and turn it on the next day or when temps rise, so your light is off when it's coldest, or you can do this is 2 6hrs moves, or till when you are in your higher temperature) these are just things that can perfect your grow. In no way, do you need to apply them to get a grow under way..

FC 3000 & MARSHYDRO LED LIGHTS
The FC 3000 300w it has a high ppfd 1525 umol/s, 2.85 efficacy and has the new UV addition which brings it closer to the (RA) spectrum, that's the Sun spectrum. The FC-FC-E has this, Also it has a much even PPFD making for a more evenly grown canopy and has a deep penetrative light as it allows you to move the light closer to your canopy with a reduced risk of light stress. The TS versions are a great light to. These are different though. As they have a much higher ppfd in the middle, so I suggest you rotate them plants and move em about to get the best out of the high PPFD
Thanks for reading, be sure to drop a like so I can check out what you got going. Either way thanks for dropping by.
Do me favour. Stay off my diaries. I don't want or need your Input. And I haven't received any seeds, I knew were a snake from the 1st time you said you hadnt got round to doing it. I wonder how many other people you've promised seeds and not sent them, or told them they must have been lost. Stay out of my way, and I'll stay out of yours.
