Dear diary,
Week 1 after germinations is completed!
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
⏰Day 4:
I gave all of them nutes at PH6.3 and 0.48ms until the coco was saturated.
Also made sure the light was on 100ppfd and set to go off tomorrow at 12:00 and then back on at 18:00 to start the 18/6 schedule.
⏰Day 5:
Gave the same feeding as yesterday and increased the light from 100 ppfd to 125 ppfd. Targeting 185 for week 1 as that would give a DLI of 12.
⏰Day 6:
Increased power of feed a bit to 0.55ms and 6.2ph.
Incredible the light to 155ppdf with the height set to 65cm above. Can see some stretching but hopefully that stops today/tomorrow as we get to 185ppfd/12dli.
Temps have remained steady at 25-26 with light on and 24-23 with lights off and with humidity mostly around 80%.
⏰Day 7:
Bumped up feeding strength again to 0.67ms and 6,1ph and changed the fan to start oscillating so the seedlings start getting some more wind to get stronger.
Light was also increased to 185ppfd/12dli as was the target for week 1, next target will be 250ppfd/16dli for week 2.
⏰Day 8:
You know the drill, upped feeding to 0,78ms and 6,3ph.
⏰Day 9:
Finally gave nutes at 1ms as is my target for seedlings and 5.9ph, and removed the dome with lights going up to 205ppfd.
Temps are sitting at 24-26 and 75-85% RH with lights on and 23-24C off.
⏰Day 10:
G.C #2 showed some signs of calmag deficiency, so gave a calmag foliar spray at 0.8 EC 6.4ph to hopefully get them what they need there.
I also applied another feeding at 0.97ms 5.8 ph and increased the lights to 225ppfd.
@DBQush, I guessed so, I'm using the same.
It's a good base for planning your own schedule.
Doing a bit of experiment and was wondering maybe adding my other ir/fr to the veg tent to see if I can get some stretching action going on..
Will be monitoring your diary closely, keep up the good work!
@Yebis42, I am basing it on the DLI per week that DeBacco University recommends in his video about DLI in relation to yields.
But it seems to match up with the same numbers that for example “Photone” recommends, as I also use their iOS app for the readings.
But ofc I just use these as a guideline and try and look at how the girls respond to each gradual increase as those numbers are if everything else is perfect.
I actually just backed down the lights again to 290ppfd as I was seeing some other issues and by lowering the light it should give them a easier time recovering.
Hey man, congrats for the harvest! I'm growing this strain too, week 4 flowering done. In my opinion is slower than I though, and I saw also your flowering stage was 9+ weeks (breeder says: 7 weeks flowering)
@DeepWaterGrower, thanks man! Yeah when they say 7 weeks, I don’t think they take the first “transition” week into account, and then call it done as soon as the harvest window opens.
But at least for me it make sense to push them for another week or two too get as much good shit as possible!
Either way I’m super happy the end result as this badboy really kicks your ass when smoking haha
@gaby_kicks, haha a 7/10 on my 2nd grow I will consider a compliment, so thanks man!
I do personally think the Wedding cheesecakes in the same grow turned out a bit bitter, but even with the Gorilla Cookies, super frosty and consistently dense buds in both the top and bottom off the canopy, leaves me quite happy.
Also helps that she netted just shy of 160g dry and smokes like a beauty!
Maybe one day you will start a diary here and show “how it’s done”, but until then, keep on keeping on haha
