Welcome to my Slurircane Fem Diary sponsored by MSNL.
Veg Days 12-14/15-18 Days 22-24/25-28
Plant is moving along nicely. Really nice growth. Very hardy gentics so far. I've done a lot of work to this girl. A lot more at this stage more than any other. I've topped her 1st sets of nodes above the 2nd set, "and removing the 1st inters on". I then LST'ed and brought her sides down. And removed the new shoots below the FIMing site except for the ones closest to the site. Leaving 5-6 nodes 2 closest to the FLming and then the 3-4 on top that it'll produce. I plan to make a a scrog frame. And attach it to my pot. Making it adjustable for an 18L pot 30cm2 with a 50cm2 top Square frame about 30-45 cm from the top. I'll either make. Or my grow store sells them. But they don't look well made. No, indicas are not ideal to scrog. But, it'll be a small space and hopefully the net will fill within 7-8 weeks. Only thing that has gone wrong. Is that silly pot she's in, holds water. And my sub has no perlite in it. I'll uppot to a 7L in a few days after the heavy stresses from today passes. Edit. Uppoted to 8L. Roots should reach down soon. Have been given Plagron stuff above, added Fish Force, Sugar Royal and have Mega Worms for later. Topped the Flming again. As it kept growing. There is 4 nodes that are close, so. not as expected but, I'll make it work for a scrog.
Diet/Defoliation
On a Full plagron diet. She is healthy only issue is the substrate is finding it hard to breath. And showing signs of light green on edges of leaves, which are symptoms of either lack of O2/co2 to roots from poor sub or overwatering, "which can mostly be avoided with good airy substrate" added a new 80-20 mix of perlite and pro mix. She seems to be pushing through.. let's see how the days go. Removed all old fan leaves that have well developed nodes 6hr later with 1000-1150ppm co2 with 8-1000ppfd.
Lights.
P/SF 1000 are used for 8 hrs and the SP 3000 is used for 12hrs.
Co2
Is at an ambient 1150 and 1050 in my grow room with exhausts on. Very high. I just don't have the temperature for it to be affective yet. Nor do I have my co2 alarms to run co2 gas safely automatically, yes, I can run a sealed tent. And pump gas in but, that's just too much work. I'll wait till my kit is fully finished. I've got everything but the alarms. So, I decided to get this cheap 1L disposable co2 tank, with 2 way Solinied Valve and reducer. Its a simple set up. If all goes well. And I like the results. I'll know to move forward to the the rest (full regulator & 2x 10L 6kg co2 tasks)
1 Pro leaf co2 kit reg/sensor/controller 1L co2 tank to test.
Meaco 20L dehumidifier
1 cheap Disposable kit with 2 way S Valve & reducer. Its simple really. When desired co2 hit, it turns the valve off, and the co2 is cut off. Also when the lights go off co2 is turned off by hooking to my pro leaf controller. I'm going to hook up my spider farmer 4 inch smart exhaust and set it to turn on at 32c, off at 28c and 80% RH on and 70% off. Fan will be on from the bottom keeping it off the ground at pot level. And the air around the leafs needs extra circulation of stomata to enhanced the molecular surroundings need exchanging constantly.
(I've decided to test its results with this before I get to ambient temps for full co2 growing in my grow room, for now I still need a sealed environment).
So, i just need to close my grow room door and temp hits desired 29-31c within 30m and when it goes above an exhaust draws in cold air from my attic and pumps it into the other end. I haven't fully tested my hillbilly AC. As I still need parts, ducting carbon filters. Few other pieces like seals and that.
Light wise, hmmmm..... that's currently up in the air edited: "Thankfully that's all sorted. Spiderfarmer are upgrading me with an SE5000. My Jorney with Mars-Hydro, well sadly that journey has come to its end for now. Not by choice. But rather pride and well. I'll leave it at that. I'll always be greatful to Mars and Eleen for the lights. So, yeah. New things are coming.
When my SE light gets here. She'll be taken full control over this aswel as 4-5 other grows. MSNL has provided me with Animal mints "check out my diary" and new 2023 Barneysfarm releases & Kannabia. Thank you all for your support, great customer service and continued co-operation.
Thanks to MSNL for their continued co-operation. And thanks to Mars-Hydro for the lights. Much appreciated to all who viewed, liked &/R commented. Look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by.

@gottagrowsometime, I wasn't paying attention but I don't have the UR45 in this tent just under the fc6500 twins in the growroom. The Tsl2000 have the IR built in
@DeepWaterGrower, yeah. Done few things. Have few 50cm2 scrog frames that attach to my pots.. so, will be throwing one of them up after she grows a bit more. I'll train her low. It's not desirable for a dom imdica but it's only a small space and it'll allow me to have dif phenos at different heights. Will just need to put pots on blocks or whatever to make sure the canopies become flat.
