Week 4 Veg
Goals: Transplant, top or try fimming, some lst, get flora bloom, get a better fan, some insect repellent, and get TPS signal.
Notes : Pussied out on fimming, topping was already uncomfortable as is.
1. Folio and substrate sprayed early in the morning. Stripped lower dead leaves on critical. Cleaned tent and the light leds.
2. Plants fed. Realized h2o2 kills all bacteria good and bad so RIP dyno myco and photosynthesis plus. I’ll stop adding h2o2 to feed at this point and just use it as light substrate spray. Topped both mimosa and cookies wanted to top 2 nodes down, but went with one.
3. Folio spray in the morning. Got flora bloom from Ace at $16 and a Home Depot 6” clip-on fan at $10. Raised my intake fan speed to about 25%.
4. Watered mimosa and cookies I’m guessing since they got topped and got their first dose of silica they’re up taking nutes like crazy
(2 days without watering) Folio sprayed.
5. Transplant day. Both mimosa and cookies were transplanted using dyno myco with photosynthesis plus as substrate spray.
6. Did some lst.
7. Lst and lowered humidity to 60.
End-of-week : Critical’s catching up, but still looks a bit sorry. Cookies is so bushy I can barely get in there for lst, but she slowed down with vertical growth, noticeable growth stun from topping and transplanting judging by the size of the stem. Mimosa brushed off topping and transplanting and kept getting bigger.
Been noticing wet spots on my leaves almost like a slug went thru but it’s not slimy, didn’t leave residue and dissipated fast. My Rh was relatively high that day and right after a feeding in the morning, is this the result of plant “perspiring” or something else? Thanks
leaves overlapping will do that. if you have a breeze, no problem as it dries fast. otherwise, de-congest so you don't have standing water lingering. bend or remove. always prefer to keep them.
Hey buddy - this looks AMAZING for your first grow - pretty well done :)
Slowly but finally coming to and end - have fun and good luck with your harvest
@Mosquito_Haarlem_Holland, Thanks bro, any advice on leaning seedlings? I’ve forgot my myco when I planted the seeds so I carefully excavated them and replanted. I guess I replanted them too shallow they all popped out with helmet head and because of it really stretchy. Now cookies gelato doing a “lean back”
Hey brother I struggle with same rh issue in flower on the east coast. I learned to time it so my plants are never in flower in July or August. I try to start a run in March and harvest in late may to early June and then start another run in mid August and harvest in Nov or December if I'm running photos. Heat and high rh suck in flower especially if your running more powerful lights that put out additional heat. A 200w light is also not enough for a 3x3 tent in flower imo. I run an 880 watt in a 5x5 and its perfect. Good luck!
@Tweezer, great info thx man, yeah ima try not to be in flower during July and august. Sucks to hear about my light thought it’d be enough since that’s how they commercialized them. I’ve panicked prematurely lol gotta stop drinking and posting xD. Im thinking of bringing the tent inside the house from my garage for the last few weeks of flower.
Rh can be lowered by introducing an intake as well as leaving ur exhaust high. If u dont have an intake try leaving a flap open with a fan pointed at it. No smell early, moist is manageable with good airflow. Am new to this but had similar issues. Good luck!
@Monketh, First of all thanks for your sound advice brutha your right and I think I figured out my problem. I do leave my flaps open every morning after lights on but my fan isn’t near the flaps. Also I’m growing in my garage so I don’t get the benefit of my house hvac unit. It worked awesome during the colder periods cause all I needed was a heater but now with the change in temps and humidity it’s almost like it’s getting a greenhouse effect with the tent producing most of it. Basically my intake takes from the garage and my exhaust gives back to the garage and I’ve got a green house effect going on. I’ll try exhausting into the framework of the house.
