Sunday, The quad line training continues. Today I will defoliate to insure that light is reaching all nodes. Also will evaluate if it’s time to top the plant.
Increased Flora series Micro to 3ml and Bloom to 6ml.
Monday:
Moved to the 2x4 tent where I will continue to quadline her.
On Wednesday, I increased nutrients with Micro to 4ml/g and Bloom to 8ml/g. I’m following the Lucas Formula for GH Flora nutrients. It ignores Gro, and uses a 2:1 ratio of Bloom to Micro. Target 8ml/g of Micro and 16ml/g of Bloom as final goal.
Thursday, added about 3/4 gallon of nutrient solution. These self feeding watering bases aren’t saving me as much time as I expected now that they’re drinking a lot. The plants seem to appreciate the permanently moist soil at the bottom third of the fiber pots. Increased GH Flora series to Micro at 5ml/g and Bloom at 10ml/gallon. Always keeping Bloom at a 2:1 ratio to Micro per Lukas formula.
Friday. No nutrients needed.
Checked nutrient levels and ph at 7.0 and ppm at 850. Will leave alone for now. Removed a fair amount of leaves from this plant as i defoliated.
On Friday, I added another LED based on tent being underpowered for flower. Now dimmed….but with 640 watts of LED over 8 square feet of space.
@@T_Dub, Nice.
Yeah, I got a buddy who refuses to flush, the only crops he has had fail was when he did. He ended up getting bud rot on the flushed crop. Has not flushed since, he never had another problem with bud rot, and the difference in quality was not a lot after curing.
@gREEn7o0, thanks! I don’t flush…..I’m one of those people who don’t think there’s any benefit to flushing. I do give them a good long dry and cure though.
@@@T_Dub, I use dry nutrients so I wouldn't go with smaller pots but with liquid nutrients you can get away with the smaller ones you just have to water more often.
As for scrog I've never done it because of my back problems it's to hard for me to get under the net. I do most of my autos the same, I top above the 5th node (set of branches) and push n pull the remaining branches to keep them from under the ones above them. If that makes sense.
I think you can do 2 or 3 in there because in my experience smaller pots make smaller plants, but they could get big without notice 😆
@Cyrusdavirus, thank you.
She’s coming along beautifully.
May I pick your brain Cyrus?? What do you think of growing two autos in a 2x2x4 tent in 2 gallon pots.
Is that a reasonable expectation, or do I need larger pots and fewer plants?
I’m looking at the Gorilla Cookies auto that you recently grew. I could scrog them if that’s an acceptable training technique with autos. (I’m still researching autos, but SCROG seems OK.) Thanks in advance for your help.
@Cyrusdavirus, she’s taken on the shape of an attractive shrubbery. 😝. But she is a beautiful strain….I enjoyed growing her. Looking forward to smoking her next to the Godfather OG and Purple Ghost Candy to see which ones I like best. Hope you are doing well Cyrus.
@Seedsman,
Thank you. Your LA Peyote Kush and Purple Ghost Candy are both a pleasure to grow. They really accepted the quadline training and LST quite well. 🙏
