Day 1 of Week 1 - 730pm
Soaked rockwool placed in germ station
Placed seed into cube, fluffed over to cover
Covered germ station with lid
Lights are on
I know I prob need to get a nicer light and ditch all the crap lights but for now I have what I have. Perhaps after some success I may be able to get a new light to replace all of them. But how far should it be? 2 feet above rockwool cube? And what watts per plant
Way to much food. I would put her in the buckets and top water once a day. You want to encourage the roots to drop into the water. It should only take 3-4 days to see a single root hit the water. Then stop top watering.
Your nutrients should be either zero or down at 0.5ml/l to start( plants don't need food the first 2 weeks). Then use half the amount or less, from the light feed chart.
I started feeding week 2 with this grow.

Happy Growing
Moved into bucket. Went with half the gh solution recommended seedling light feed. Added hydroguard and some cal mag per directions. Set the ph to 5.8 after mixing.
Are you using RO water or distilled water? If your using tap water then chances are you wont need it and if you do then only 1/8 - 1/4 the amount recommended MAX.
If your using water with less then 100 ppm then yes, you want to add 1/4 -1/2 recommended.
Treatment of mold with hydrogen peroxide has been showing improvements. I also removed the lower leaves that showed nutrient deficiency to prevent plant resources from being wasted. They shriveled and became weak looking. The roots have really started to breakout of the rockwool and become visible. Some of the new leaves still show some spotting like the other calcium deficient leaves. More cal mag? Still need to improve on the set up and dialing in the fans for better humidity. We did have an air pump die due to a water spillage and replaced it within 12 hrs. We are on a light feed schedule in half dose amounts on nutrient and additives.with primary light adjustment to 36 inches over plant.
I believe that the root system was severely affected by the mold and slowed the growth down substantially. However after treating the mold on the rockwool the roots have exploded in growth. Still using half dose light feeding on the fourth week schedule due to the reduced growth in the beginning. It also looks to be a female plant based on the sexing which wasn’t known as our seeds are a potluck from megatron thanks btw! Began low stress training the main stalk to start to allow more light to lower branches to hopefully produce more growth potential. Seems like most discolored leaves have started to even out. Root ball is getting bigger. Will try to take pics next week.
High, you let your plant grow pretty tall already and the space between the nodes are pretty big aswell. For that reason I would keep the top 4 nodes and cut the 2 lowest nodes.
After you cut the lowest 2 nodes bend the top branches down to let all the branches grow till an equal height so that they all recieve the same amount of light from your lamp and grow equally big.
When you do this you can create 8 main colas. Make sure that you bend them enough out of eachother so the buds and leaves will not touch eachother. You need airflow between the leaves and buds to prevent mold.
Started low stress training. Pulled main trunk over and spread out lower limbs to separate and allow more light and space in. Color looks ok. Lots of new growth. Forgot to take a pic of root ball. It is mostly white and has a small amount of brown. Smell is starting to become more apparent when entering tent. Size is still small hoping to see a growth spurt soon.
My plant is rather bushy. I don’t want issues during the flowering. I am hesitant to trim down unless it shows signs of issues. What are the recommendations? Branch is falling off should I trim it?
It's about this time that you want to consider doing some defoliation so the lower bud sites can get as much light as possible and so that you get good air flow through the whole plant which will help prevent fungus/mold from developing. One of the better articles on the subject of defoliation is this one - so take a look at it and make your own decision about whether or not to do this for your plant. https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-super-simple-3-step-defoliation-tutorial
As far as the broken branch - no, I wouldn't cut it off just yet... the earlier you get to things like this the better but even now, try taping it up even using something that can act like a splint to support it. If the leaves on the branch start dying off, then you can trim the entire thing - but give it a chance...
Good luck!
Started trimming down large fan leaves and leaves that block flower locations. 12 hour light. Lite feeding 1/2 dose of recommended. 36” light height. Still could use more trimming but trying to leave as much as possible. This weekend will end trimming as it will be the end of week three of flower. Any suggestions??? Two fans running one up top and one at the base.
Still real bushy a net or better training should be used next time. Debating on to pull a clone. Starting to drink more finally. Smell is increasing running carbon fan full time. Not trimming any more to limit stress. Seems like this plant has been slow from the start. Have two fans high and low cross flow keep moisture down. Rh is low. So mold should be unlikely. No pest. 🤞🏽 thinking it will take more than 5 more weeks unless it explodes.
Looks like flowers are finally popping. Still very bushy but lots of airflow and low humidity. Might take a top down approach when time comes for harvest to allow more time on the lowers. Will see depends how thing roll. Let me know what you think.
Seems to be slowly moving along. May take more than 8 weeks of flower. Intake hasn’t been as much as last few weeks of veg. This week still had 2.5 gallons. She is pulling nutes from leaves as many started to yellow. Let me know what you think.
Flowering seems to be slowly moving along. Keeping nutrients same. Removing dead leaves to keep things neat. Fan bearing is Being loud so fan is on the way out. Hope it makes it till the end. I didn’t clone this plant due to the many issues I have had. Still wishful thinking it will turn out ok. Seems like forever since I started this project.
Getting close to done. Maybe another two weeks. Still pulling mutes from fan leaves and only taking a gallon of water out of five. Trimming off the dried dead leaves.
