Week 5 Veg
Goals : still need to figure out an insect repellent, also get a garbage can for bottom feeding.
1. Feeding 1 gallon split between the 3 plants 4ml micro, 2 ml bloom, 2ml silica, 10 ml photo plus, 1/2 tbsp epsom salt.
2. Lst mimosa and cookies
3. Plants fed, lst, folio, adjusted the lights ppfd @ 400.
4. Topped critical and defolio some leaves on cookies and mimosa
5. Just did some lst
6. Fed 1 gallon with 5ml micro , 3ml bloom, 2ml silica, 10ml photo plus, 1/2 tbsp Epsom salt. Measured run off ph it was low @5.4-5.8. Gonna flush next watering with ph 6.8
7. Lst and folio spray
End of week : I feel like mimosa’s doing fine but cookies and critical aren’t as much. Wasn’t too mentally invested this week and just went thru the motions. Also need to square away my ph and ppm cause I think that’s my problem with critical and the others too most likely not growing right because of bad ph.
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.
