Day 35:
This week I was busy again with work (60hours this week) + Christmass days with family + friends(4days every evening).
So you can gues, i asked my friend again to take care of them.
Well he did kind off, but he forgot to adjust the lights and dance the plants arround(shuffle them, sorting by height).
What happend? They stretched out because of the heat and he gave them to much water everyday, he tried to do his best this time but he did the imposible, he overwaterd cocos soil.
As you can see the leafs dropped downward indicating overwatering or pests. In my case, luckly, the first one.
Luckly easy to fix.
Also spotted some stress in stems due stretching, something i cannot fix.
Look at week 4, pictures of day 28, thats my work after I fixed it for days and now look at this week....
For f**k sake lol.
Because of this stretching it looks really crowded now instead of a beautifull equal cantopy.
if you look at picture one to the plants in the right corner, those are the heights I want them to be.
There are still some plants that fell behind and barely recoverd since last time.
For the new week I will have to make a choice to eighter keep them and hope they still grow some while flowering or
I will need to get rid of them in exchange the others will have more space. I might thoose the last option.
Thats it for this week, see y'all in the next.
Talk about a *full* grow, my friend! Love seeing growers taking big bites -- Clean looking set-up, plants recovering, and pre-flower on the horizon. Following along and looking forward to seeing these gals in flower ๐๐
One heck of an ambitious grow ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑbest of luck ๐
@@@@FastbudGrower420, 137 plants haha. Where I'm going to put them? Inside the tent lol.
These are in just 3L pots, they will not grow that much, nor will I make sure they will veg a long time.
Focus will be on the main cola, not on the side branches, I will remove some of them.
Follow and see the results every week ๐
200cmx200cm ? Growing 120+ seeds? Will not be long before things get crowded in there and barely or extremely hard to manage, except if im missing something.
@MyselfGr, Nice but watch out with selling, its not legal everywhere.
I only smoke it all with my girlfriend๐
Here in my country people can buy it in coffeeshops for 15-25 depending on what kind of strain + quallity.
Dont give up your left arm, you need that to grow and smoke weed my friend ๐
@GanjaReaper, ok got to admit, im jealous, I'll give my left arm to take a selfie with all these girls.
Wish you the best.
Ps. 2kg is absolutely rewarding, where i am im pushing it for about 10 euro the gram if bought in >10g
@MyselfGr, with only 3liter pots, they will not grow that much, also i will cut away many side branches.
I have done bigger rooms with almost the same techniques, the only difference is that i'm doing it now with 3L pots instead of 7L and with autoflowers instead of phototype.
It's not a big deal, just a few hours a week besides time spend on watering the plants, which takes up most of the time.
I'm using cocos as medium so it will dry up fast, since I dont use a drip system and giving it with a garden hose,
i have to water them almost everyday and still that would only cost me 1hour ( making the feeding bucket and more).
125 seeds in total, might remove plants that are ugly or don't grow properly, So might end with like 110-120 plants.
If i'm lucky I will get like 1500-2000 grams out of this, in like 9-11 weeks maximum, which is really rewarding compaired to money and time spend.
Instead of just putting a few plants in there, make them veg for 5-7 weeks ( to fill up all the space) and flower them for 8-10 weeks.
That will cost me 13 to 17 weeks... Which results in less rounds a year...
Not to mention if one or more plants doesnt grow properly or die, your heart will break,
this will not be the case when having a lot of plants per m2.
If this doesnt work I will change it back to phototype plants with normal soil or mixed with a little bit cocos, with 7L pots, which has been proven to work.
The key is not to let them veg for weeks, you will end up with a jungle like you said. Sativa's can grow into twice or higher in size while flowering, indica's tend to stay smaller.
Autoflowers love to do their own thing, but if i'm not satisfied, ill force them into early flowering as well, which i have done many times before too.
Feel free to follow my grow๐
Se ven bastante bien para dejarlas en manos de alguien mรกs ๐ . yo estoy aprendiendo a manejar el cultivo de interior y no es nada comparado con cultivar fuera, por suerte tienes a alguien que las cuide y pueda aprender tambiรฉn contigo. Bendiciones en este fin de aรฑo y mucha buena vibra para el que estรก por comenzar. Irie
@GanjaReaper, lo entiendo totalmente, tu grow siempre ha tenido un orden espectacular. Pero bueno, los รบnicos que saben como nos gusta las cosas somos nosotros mismos ๐ . Saludos homie
@MiyaguiOkPolilla, In my opinion inside is easier then outside. Inside you can manipulate everything, outside you can't.
Yes they are alive, but it's not putting up for my standard.
In the next diary, when i make sure i have enough time or make it more easier for someone else to take care of them, you will see what i mean.
Thanks anyways :)
Damn ๐ nice nice and with hps i always loved the yellow color of the hps do you need a big filter to suck out the hot air in the tent? Or does it get to hot any way nice job really ๐
@Gefjon_Grow420, i even did 800 watts with airco lol. But in the summer i preff to make mothers to make clones. Plants in grow stage love heat and stretching is good for cutting clones :P
Or i make sure i only have my grow stage in the most hottest month.
@GanjaReaper, yeah i can imagine i used in the past a big filter to for 4 x 600w hps because in the summer I had temperature of almost 39 degree so to hot and a lot of stretching foxtails ๐ but if you have a good big filter and an airco system it sure will work with 600w to ๐๐
@greenAF,
Thanks, watch my new grow in a couple of weeks. It will be even better.
I will go back to the basics, this round was just a experiment round.
