A nice week without problems i have added a few basil seeds, but posible way too much i migth have to remove them, have you grow other plants on your pots? any advice?
What you're describing is something commonly called "Companion Planting"
Indoors I don't know a lot of benefits but outdoors there are tons, as some plant will bring in beneficial predators to help control pests and other can help provide nutrients when they die and get mixed into the medium then decompose like clover. or they can provide ground cover to help prevent splash back. something like creeping thyme will do this or grass. Its good to note that the additional plants can also cause issues with root space/drainage and resource management/fertilizer requirements in smaller plots. Not a lot of plants are as heavy feeding as cannabis so the extra nutrients they eat can burn the companion plants. Looks into it and try some stuff out.
Good Luck!
Week four and everything running smoothly, I have removed a few of the guardian plants as there were too may also I have placed some water droppers under the fabric pots I hope I can reduce the humidity, it can be really humid here in summer.
Are IR cameras dangerous for the night cycle? I have my plants on streaming and I'm thinking of placing an infrared camera and IR LED I'm worried that the IR light can stress the plants and interrupt the night cycle. Wave you experience this with security cameras?
No, they aren't. The IR wavelengths from cameras aren’t strong enough to create any effect. The camera doesn’t produce strong infrared wavelengths like the sun, or infrared grow lights. Good luck on your grow.
This week I had a bit of a humidity problem because of the fan not working the last 3 days but everything is ok now, I also did some LST to try to equal the high of all the plants
A week of recovery without any problem a bit of toping to make it all the same height. Last week's defoliation worked great now there is a lot of airflow below, also the plants look much better since removing the other plants that were competing.
Last week before flowering, it recover perfectly from the previous week, is more and more apparent that I should top a lot earlier if I did the growth will be more uniform, still looking to be great I'm excited to see all the beautiful flowers
First week into flowering and also the first time trying the "Top grow box 100% TERRA" from Plagron. I heard many good things about this brand; hopefully, it turns out great!!!
I will be updating you on how well it runs.
The first stigmas are showering at the top. The canopy it's looking great with a huge coverage and even height. I'm excited as it seems like it's going to be a huge harvest having in mind that the light is not as powerful as it should be.
This is the third week of flowering now we can start to see the shape of each flower, also some of the flowers are getting tall and the light is close to reaching the limit of the tent I believe its okay but well see.
The flowers are starting to have their own smell with each plant having more pine-like smell or more candy, it's definitely looking like its going to be a awesome strains.
Some of the pistils are turning orange for some strains, I was expecting this to happen and I might have to harvest some plants earlier than others. All the flowers are growing a lot, especially the purple queen with huge flowers in comparison. Excited to see it turn purple soon.
Flowers are growing slower but thicken it up a lot not sure when to harvest but it sure is coming soon, the smell is getting richer and stronger, Cant wait to try it out.
Pretty normal week I now have to wait a bit more since most of the strains recommend being harvested on week 8 or 9. the flowers have increased in smell by a lot and with peculiar scents like pine.
The last updates before harvest, the pistils are getting more and more orange and the trichomes are starting to get cloudier for two more weeks and it will be ready.
Getting close to the planned harvest day I wish I could hold it a bit longer mainly because the OG kush could get a few more weeks but it is ok as it will have a bit less thc but still a great taste, and I will go on vacation so I prefer to have it harvest by then. The rest of the plants look like they will be ready for harvest next week.
It has been awesome growing and sharing with this community, I had some questions at the being that I managed to resolve with the help of these awesome people, and I learned a lot. Next time I will improve my pruning and the companion plants.
