Mid-Week Update (12/1/2022) - Noticing stress issues with plants in all tents. Watering day Thursday (12/1), so ph'd roughly 6.5 prior to watering. Run off registering roughly 6.5, so acceptable readings and determine plant issues not related to ph or nutrients. Rechecked PPFDs and found readings to be too high in all tents. 3x3 tent I raised lights (BTW maxed out in height) so reduced dimmer to 80% bringing PPFD to acceptable range (600-850). Raised lights in 2x2 and 2x4 tents as well (upward space still available). Adjusted PPFD readings in both tents to 600-850 (2x4 tent) and 450-600 (2x2 tent). Will continue to monitor plants looking for continued signs of stress or relief.
3x3 AC Infinity Grow Tent (Clones: G41, Frosted Gelato, Frozay Pie, Black Cherry Gas) - Continue to monitor Ph by adjusting RO water after adding nutrients. Smells coming from tent extremely strong even after changing out carbon filters. Flower stretch has slowed and bud formation, resins, terms, all increasing with each day.
2x4 AC Infinity Grow Tent (Seed: French Macaron and (2) Afgooey Autos) - Decided to cut down Blueberry Cupcake after major Ph issues leading to severe nutrient deficiencies. Due to space issues decided to cut bait and chop down. Will attempt to grow a Blueberry Cupcake at a later time. Total grower F'up. Centered remaining French Macaron and replaced Blueberry Cupcake with (2) Afgooey Autos that are in week 2 of flower. Continue to monitor Ph by adjusting RO water after adding nutrients.
2x2 Grow Tent ( (1) Afgooey Auto and 8 variety of clone cuttings from above tent) - Continue to monitor Ph by adjusting RO water after nutrients. Clones coming along nicely. I think a few cuttings were taken at early flower, so some clones will need time to reveg.
@BigDaddyK, just a heads up that on day 13 half of my 12 cuttings have emerging roots. This is only the second time cutting/cloning (first time a complete disaster). I purchased the Midas Hydro b/c it was recommended in a GrowWeedEasy article I read about cloning. GWE also recommended using both gel and rooting powder, but I experimented with just the gel out the gate. Transplanting those clones into dixie cups in the morning and I'll post some updated photos in next week's diary update. Check it out, if you're interested and have the time.
@BigDaddyK, Midas Hydro is the brand I use, which was purchased from Amazon. First time using a rooting gel and peat pellets. Day 6 today, so I hope to see roots emerging in next 3-4 days.
