Had retarded my diary since I had the weeks all screwed up.
Just going to keep this for my first try.
Currently on 3rd week of flower .
Just let her go It's my first so I didn't try to top any of these since I never did it and didn't want to kill these clones..
Jack herer. Holy Grail Kush and Pineapple express #2 are all the plants in the group photo.
It's only my 4th week using the TPS nutrients.. but they seem Tobe doing their thing.
Knock on wood It's been going pretty well. Originally started with 1 bloomspect light. Currently jack herer is under 2= Sf1000 lights.
Got some worm castings so that was also added to the soil with a clean PH'ed water other last feed .
Seem to need to feed jack every 2/3 days .. but if you see anything or can recommend anything PLEASE do.
Curious how they look to people that know what they should look like.
Thanks again.
Still just letting her ride with the nutrients and doing minimal trimming just to let light get in. She's looking and Smelling healthy .
Had some gnat bastards for a few days this week .
Lost power Friday into Saturday. Kept warm best I could n they seem to be fine. From the Lil extra darkness . We will see over next few days. Soil was dry atleast ,so didn't get cold while wet or anything. Phew ...
Happy holidays .. Xmas they looked great. Start to week 5 coming.
Smelling sooooo good, although I'm just getting over having covid. Today I could smell them again and Holy stink , very happy with their progress.
Seems the power going out didnt bother the girls to much . I noticed the tips of the top growth of jack herer showed burning of some sort. But going to keep an eye on that.
I did have another issue kinda . Had to replant the jack into a random big pot due to its old pot broke .
I'm sure that didn't go without some issue springing up from it and I kinda see a possibility of a problem .
That being poor drainage, there was no holes or anything on the bottom of this big planter so I'm sure the lack of drainage for those 3 weeks might gave caused an issue .
×××/ Drilled 8x 1/8th" holes in the bottom of the big guy. Then ran some PH 5.9 water thru,then in a day or two with my normal routine I'll get it phed around 6.2/6.4. The run off I tested was around 6.7 which isn't as bad as I expected with the soil being saturated at the base.
Eh lesson learned , I'll be keeping a tight eye on them over next week.
Trimmed some leaves just to open up the center and see if I can get them to tighten all the way up .
Still debating on getting a tent... seeing all the grows with better control of the environments im struggling to keep temps and all in check with a open area (besides the foam board hung around them my areas WIDE open. Really thinking its the best move for 4 plants at a time. Thats future thought tho lol , honestly cant really afford one yet lights aswell but so far these spider farmer are holding their own. Good ole adhd . My bad lol (growing so I can have my medication needed for ptsd, chronic pain and insomnia, if you know of good strains for these please let me know. Just hoping to get this to work out.)
So far so good.🤞🏻🤞🏻🍀🍀🍀🍀 , bigger and better due time !!
Thanks again for the help over the passed few weeks !! Happy NEW YEAR. My last update for 2022!!
Soil runoff PH was 5.7 last tested . Just curious if this should be addressed? Plant seems healthy to me , the jack herer has the low soil runoff ph .fed. @6.2 today with run off being 5.7 (dec3rd last tested soil was @6.1). Ph during feeding usually 6.0/6.5 . Let her go. Orrrrr?
runoff potentially has more dissolved minerals than what you originall administered... due to evporation between irrigations. This could impact pH.
So, runoff can potentially be higher and not be a problem. Being in soil, there's other possiblities tht would cause such a change. the types of fertilizers for soil often need microbes to process what is given before it is plant available... since tht stuff is too lage or otherwise won't go into roots, it remains behind and could potentially build up over time if providing more than what the microbes can chelate/fixate, whatever the term is called.
The key here is it is healthy. keep an eye on it. you could try to pH-adjust what you irrigate with to counteract any swing in pH if it starts to show some symptoms... if it remains healthy i'd chalk it up to 'normal' for your current set of numerous related variables in your garden at the moment.
Looks healthy and no N issues, which becomes less available per concentration at lower pH. Believe calcium is another that will quicly show you symptoms due to an acidic shift in pH.
anyway, runoff and soil slurries should be a bit off from what the actual pH and EC of your soil is. as long as it doens't keep shifting further, should be ok in context of healthy plants.
Ugh. Prior to water heater blowing. They looked great👍🏻 👌🏻 ...
Now I'm trying to dry them out after sitting in about 1 foot of water.
Any ideas on doing that I'm all ears👂 .
Fan is on them. Not directly. Have a heater goin to help Maybe , dehumidifier just cause. Well it's a basement so dehumidifier was in use prior. Ah man. They looked great I hope this didn't shut me out .
Last week or so I've started ph flushing .. she's looking ready to bring down. Under the 120x scope I'm seeing a few amber so gonna keep my eyes on them the rest of the way .
Jack's definitely gonna be ready , Holy grail also , pineapple Express #2 seems alil behind the others but still keeping a close eye on them these next few days.
They smell sooo gd good . 👍🏻 definitely happy with this first grow. Soon I'll be sharing the harvast update !! Stoked ! Thanks to everyone that's helped encourage my ass to keep this thing going lol. Appreciated!!
Just a update with photos of dry and cured about a month now.
So dense for what they are. But , pretty stoked with the end result. Can't wait fit this next set of plants.
These plants all turned out well. Wish I had vegged them longer but had some issues with a water tank blowing and temperature issues aswell ..
Learned alot from this grow definitely can't wait to try the holy grail kush and Pineapple express #2 again.
