All weeks will now begin on Saturday and end on Friday…..works better for my weekly update schedule.
Big changes to the tent on Friday. I added another 320 watts of light for a total of 665 watts covering 8 square feet. My light was insufficient for flower last time…I won’t make that mistake again. When I used only one lamp, I noticed my buds were small and looser than I’d like. More intensity should solve this, and help to get more light into the corners too.
83 watts per square foot if I go full blast without using the dimmer. That’s going to generate some heat, so I’ll be monitoring for a while. I have them dimmed down to provide 63,000 lux worth of light. See Photon app measurements too. DLI and PPFD are both relatively high for veg. No shortage of light.
SATURDAY
Removed a few leaves, adjusted reservoir water from ph 7.1 to ph 6.5. These AC Infinity self-watering bases are working well so far. Based on how short this plant is staying, I can squeeze another week or two of veg out of her. I had removed the stakes holding the branches yesterday…..decided to add them back today to level out the branches.
SUNDAY
Replaced reservoir water with fresh nutrients. Defoliated. Topped.
MONDAY
Staked branches, defoliated lightly, LST. Fed at 5ml Micro and 6ml of Bloom. Topped off reservoir. Removed 25 watt sidelights for use elsewhere.
TUESDAY
Topped off reservoir with Micro at 6 and Bloom at 12 ml/g. Feed at 6.4 ph and 850 ppm.
@@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. 🙏
