10/13 Fixed the furnace today so I’m no longer concerned about nighttime temps getting too cold. They’ve been doing fine with 24 hours of light thus far, but I think regardless of what works and what doesn’t I’m opposed to running that light schedule. Going to switch to 22/2 for less of a shock and see how that goes. Readjusted light height to 18” at 240 Par (or 40% on the dimmer)
10/14 Both look happy. Good growth. I debated watering today but I think there’s still just enough water in there to justify waiting one more day. Changed light schedule back to 20/4 (2am – 6am)
10/15 Decided today is first watering. Ph pen didn’t seem right, so I did a 2-point calibration on it. Took .75 gal of distilled and added ¼ tsp of recharge, PH was 6.3. Split that evenly between both plants. Adjusted light to about 270 PAR
10/16 Both plants look really happy. Only issue so far is that L is noticeably behind R. Hopefully it catches up. Light adjusted to 290 PAR.
10/18 Good growth. Took a little under a gallon of distilled water and added 2ml of ArmorSi silica, a spoonful of molasses, and a crapload of PH down to get it to 6.6 and split that between both plants. Moved light up to 22” and adjusted to 300 PAR
10/20 Everything is perfect so far. Zero discoloration and great growth. Adjusted light up to 330 PAR.
Haha, I’m reading your light schedule and adjustments back and forth. Laughing because that sounds like me. Constantly adjusting my lights. Optimization is what I call it. Your girls look great. I’m growing this strain on my next run, probably within a couple weeks.
Saw your note about the temp, they should be good to get pretty cold. Another of my concerns. Good luck with your grow. Take care
@@StinkyBudz, the light schedule changes was me trying everything I could to keep the temperature stable during the night. It did get down to the low 60s for those few nights but not any lower thankfully. Almost kept them at full 24 hours even after I fixed the furnace but that schedule just seems too unnatural.
The PAR changes are by design though. I'll be slowly turning up the intensity every few days until I finally hit about 700-800 or so. Really trying to emphasize slow and steady.
Looking good. I have a 3 pack on the way of Sour Stomper. Watching your grow. I saw you topped, I don’t think I will this round. I want to see your LST. Good luck on your grow. Happy harvest. Hope your buds are some StinkyBudz
@@StinkyBudz, I haven't topped and likely won't for these 2. The plan is to eventually LST, lollipop, and do general defoliation once the time is right.
@nerdz, Thanks for that. Yeah I wish I could have let them go longer but they weren't doing hot. The weed I did get though is pretty great, which was shocking. I'll do the harvest report soon now that it's been curing for a few weeks.
