Welcome! Come along for the life cycle of these 2 clones from Lost In Translation (LIT).
- Red Onion (GMO x Red Velvet)
- Boston Runtz (Boston Cream Pie x Runtz)
At the time of creating this diary I'm currently at the start of week 2 of flower. So i'll be just filling out the veg weeks with some minor details.
All questions and comments are welcomed!
I am running a CO2 supplement in my tent via a tank. It maybe a tad overkill for me but I was very curious to see if it would help. The CO2 controller is set for 1500ppm but more often then not was reading 2500+. I'm rolling with it though.
Watering with PH water only with no runoff yet.
Not a ton to discuss here. Still PH water only. The Runtz hit a nice growth spurt. Messed with the light distance and up'd the intensity a little bit as well.
Started some LST for the Red Onion. Really wants to get to that light! Watering with a bit of run off now. Run off was at a nice PH but the PPM was quite high. Although the plants are happy so I am still only giving PH water.
Lowered the light to 24" and up'd the intensity a bit more.
The Runtz plant really hulked up. Those leaves are big! The CO2 has been working wonders on these two.
Red Onion is growing three even sized shoots and a 4th is starting to catch up nicely.
Run off still in a great spot so PH water is all they get.
Big week for the plants! Flipped the lights to 12/12 to induce flowering. Trimmed up the lower 3rd of the plants and setup a trellis net with 6" spacing. The stretch this week was very nice and helped fill the space pretty quick.
Officially gave them their first dose of nutrients. 3/4 strength to see how they would react. No burn but the run off of the PH watering after the feed was in the 2800 range on the Red Onion and 1200 range for the Boston Runtz. I'm taking the readings with a grain of salt as i'm using the value pack yellow and blue ph/tds meters everyone has seen off amazon for 20 bucks. Will invest in something higher quality in the future.
Really enjoying watching these 2 grow!
Bit of a mishap this week...didn't know my own strength and snapped one of the main side branches. Was a real bruh moment by me but luckily these genetics are strong and the plant bounced back almost immediately with no signs anything had happened. Wish I would have snagged a pic of the snap but I was panicking. It wasn't a full snap but damn close. Electrical tape and some support did the trick.
No nutes this week. PPM in the run off was around 1000 so plain PH water is all they received.
I do not recommend the attempted-murder grow technique :)
Defoliated and fed them at the start of this week. The feed was a full dose and the plants reacted pretty well overall. Some slight burning. I ran PH water through them the rest of the week to try and combat it and they have recovered nicely. Planning to scale back the bloom nutes next time as the nitrogen content is a bit high. I will be adding a P & K booster for the next feed. That will most likely be later in week 4 or possibly week 5 as the PPM of the run off is currently showing 1200 at the end of week 3.
