As usual, my week starts on Saturdays. Welcome to week 3 of 12/12 lighting. I expect a little more stretch this week. They increased 5-6 inches since last week.
Saturday: Topped off reservoir with nutrients. No other action except very minor defoliation here in week 3. Will use the Photone app to insure that lighting is dialed in.
Sunday: topped off reservoir with .6 gallons. Finished defoliation for 3rd week of flower. Verified par readings under 1150 and greater than 800. Second LED providing better coverage.
Daily: top off reservoir with nutrient water. Plants are drinking .5-.75 gallons
Wednesday: checked water reservoir and ppm was 1550. Emptied reservoir and filled with 1250 ppm solution. 6.3 ph.
Thursday: I realized that the stretch wasn’t as bad as i expected. I can squeeze all three plants into one 2x4 tent. Posted above….with Purple Ghost Candy, Godfather OG and LA Peyote Kush in order from left to right.
Friday: end of week. Topped off reservoir. She’s not drinking as much as her peers, all of which have been partially flushed. I suspect salt buildup from the wick system. Ran 7 gallons of fluids through the pot using Florakleen. Runoff ppm down to 1800. Topped off reservoir with 1200 ppm solution.
@@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. 🙏
