Germinated on Sat Sept 8th, 2018 @ 6pm.
Tap roots within 18 hours on all.
Planted into Coco-Coir (straight) with added Cal-Mag and B1 # 280 PPM and 6PH.
In the pics: Taken Sept 13th. 2 days under the dome @ 75F @ 75% Humidity
Also growing Blue Cookies From Crop Kings (pictured in Back row)
Sept 19th Update - Will be Transplanting into 2L pots tomorrow as the roots are coming out the bottom of the seedling tray...
Seedlings are leggy and in a tray under the dome.
Dome is cracked open.
Using a T5 Reflector.
Light is as close to dome as it can go.
I have a Viparspectra 900W (R900) LED with a Veg and Flower mode.
Env con good.
Should I get these leggy bastards under my stronger grow light?
Your Setup is quite nice. 900 W ist alot for Blasting on the Babies. Normally 200-300 will do the whished effect, dont quite understand why they are stretching like this. Its normally a sign for lack of light.Your datas looking very nice from Humidity, temp and Ph... is a mystic thing.I would recommend digging them deeper into another pot... but you want to do dwc with them?....... I would add a soft airflow to them so the stems are moving and getting fatter. maybe that is the missing piece in the Puzzle, watch your video now maybe i see more. then i write in the comments
-Transplanted to 2L pots.
-Used Coco-Coir Saturated in the Nutes above. These will be the only touching them for the next 2-18 hour light cycles.
-I have had to switch from a T5 Reflector to my Viparspectra Reflector-Series 900W (R900) LED Grow Light (yes I cut and pasted that) to have enough coverage.
-My seedlings were stretching out so through process of elimination (temp good, humidity good, correct light/water cycle, etc) I figure it must insufficient lighting. And to be honest, there were 13 seedling under that little T5.
-I am keeping the LED at a distance of 36" from the top of the seedlings to start. Will lower as needed.
-Transplant was done just in time for 6 hours of lights off. I figure this will put them under low stress after being transplanted.
Will check on them once the lights come on tonight at 7pm EST.
Nutrient Burn from last week on the 2 Blue Cookies has completely stopped. New grower hiccup. Live and learn.
Flushed them last week after burn. Keeping PPM at about 275 right now and over the last few days have introduced the Thrive Alive B1- Green Foliage Spray. They seem to really like this.
Update: Day 15 - Pictures above
Update: Day 18 - Pictures above.
***One of my 3 Blue Cookies plants is smaller than than the two other Blue Cookies. Cali OG Amnesia Haze X all look good.
TROUBLE SHOOTING: Temps Good, Humidity at constant 60%. LED 900 Watt Lights @ 36" from plants. Watering Daily at first lights on. PPM Runoff under 300. PH at a solid 6.2. All other plants seem fine so I am hestitant to change anything. Hoping perhaps I just have a dud......
Update Day 20 - Pictures above.
-Never felt good about having the ladies under my 900W LED...even on VEG mode at 36".....SOOOOOO I switched to a 200 W, 6400k Sunblaster and hooked it up last night.
-Big difference just overnight. Plants look fuller and healthier.
-Very very happy with even just the overnight difference.
Getting ready for transplant tomorrow, October 12th into 7L Auto Pots. Prepped Coco Coir with ProCal and VitaThrive at 300pm.
Ran 15L of Nutrient through each 7L pot and am letting sit over night tonight. I will transplant in the morning.
No watering for 7-10 days.
Air Domes in the bottom of pots. WIll turn on after 10 days and run during lights on. These will be on timers.
I nute burned 2 of my 2 blue cookies. Had to flush. New growth is fine. Fack. Live and Learn. PPM's are back to normal now. No more messing them up.
Cali OG Amnesia Haze Cross is super veggie and bushy....I got some Nutes on the leaves...
Update:Day 31
-Transplanted into 7L Autopots. AirDomes in all. Coco Coir treated with ProCal and Vita Thrive.
-After 6 hours lights off, soil was dry. Light watering around edges of pots and around base of plant.
-Will turn on airdrome soon....not sure when I should...but soon.
-Auto pots will be turned on in 7 days,
Hi All,
Question about airdomes. I am transplanted into my 7L Autopots this morning and will be top watering until they are rooted.....when is it ok to turn on my airdomes? I will be running them during the light on hours of course.
Any experience with this?
hey man you want to have them turned on asap, just wait until they are rooted first and then it's off to the races ! Now would actually be a good time to turn them on - go for it ! good luck , great set up, will follow along ! dassit 🚀
Turned on the Airdomes last night and trimmed off the fan leaves that were nute burned or covering new growth. They are responding well so far. Seem to have gained height almost overnight.
New Nute program...Dual Fuel. They responded well to first watering last night....so far...
Day 36 - Scrog Installed....Turned on Autpots Tonight...day 7 after transplant....they are ready. Maybe.
Started week 6.
Last week of Veg. Flowering will start next Saturday or Sunday. 7 days from today.
I am having to trim and LST nightly.
Airdomes are kicked on full during lights on.
Autpots are running well.
Blue cookies are behind the Cali but that's ok. They've seen some shit.
Defoliation complete. These ladies got a little spank this morning. But they always respond well after. They are ready to Flower now.
First long hours of lights off have commenced...I am counting up to 20 colas per plant on the 3 Cali OG Amnesia Haze X and 10-15 per plant on the Blue Cookies going into this.
This will only increase in the coming weeks due to defoliation that was just done.
I have been aggressively LST training and defoliating every day because of growth up to this point.
They are exploding right now. Week 2 Flower Begins. The drank 34 Liters in 6 days from the Autopot Reservoir.
Airdomes are all on full blast during lights off.....contemplating one more LST Training over the next day or so.....we shall see.
Nov 3rd Update....Holy shit....They have gone through 35 litres of Nutrients since Wed...3 days ago.
I have hung up the second Scrog net and will start to guide the tops through over the next few days.
I have also added a little supplemental lighting to get them in the mood: 3 Bloom LED strips...I can probably hang them a little lower...
I have been aggressively LST training throughout VEG and have done it twice since triggering flowering 7 days ago. SCROG. My question is how long into flowering do you typically continue to LST train before just allowing everything to just shoot up. Up to date Recent pics above.
You can train them how ever long you want that's truly up to you , the question is what are you trying to achieve . If your doing it to get an even canopy then I would continue to do so until your satisfied that the canopy is even then just let them grow . With the Scrog in place you will be able to notice almost immediately whats going to stretch and what isn't going to as bad . Like I've said you can LST all the way through but most people do it to get an even canopy or open up bud sites to the light. If they continue to stretch a lot you can place a second scrog above the first to further help control the stretch . I hope this information has helped you a bit ! -Happy Growing!
Day 15 of Flowering. Crazy amount of large tops forming. LST paying off.
Same nute PPM as last week.
Update - November 17th, Day 68. Flowering, Day 24. I will be doing the 4 week flowering prune on these ladies tomorrow. Pictures of massacred plants to follow.
Update - November 18th, Day 25 of Flower. Pruning Complete. I am on track for over a pound from first grow.
I will be starting to a flush this week that will last 10-14 days as there is quite a bit of nute build up in the Autopots. Tip burn.
Everything is fine and I am expecting at least a lb from this grow but I will not use Autopots again. My Floreflex system is built and ready for the next grow.
Hoping to harvest by the 25th of December.
***Update Nov 6th - Microsope from toy's R us I bought yesterday is telling me that my trichomes are 50% amber. I am starting my 2 week flush in the Autopots now.
Well, I made a judgement call and Harvested on day 10 of my Auto-pot Reservoir Flush due to the trichomes being perfectly where I wanted them. If I waited 10 more days as recommended (they say to do a 20 day flush through the reservoir when using Auto-Pots) then my it would have been over-ripe and I could potentially not get the effects I am looking for. So, cut em down and I feel good about the call made.
I did not take the wet weight but will post the dry weight in 7 days. Not sure how you can properly choose the flavor and aroma without properly curing first so I am just leaving blank for now.
WHAT I LEARNED FROM THIS: When using Autopots, it is beneficial to be familiar with the strain your are growing and the flowering time. I did not time my 20 day flush correctly. The other solution to this would be to just use Organic Nutrients.
AUTOPOT Likes and Dislikes:
Likes: 1-Airdomes were great for drying out the bottom of the pots between feedings and aerating the roots.
2-Auto watering system. Changed and cleaned reservoir every 5 days for 6 plants.
DISLIKES: 1-Not being able to flush from the top. 20 days flush through reservoir.
2-Airdomes are a mess after the grow and cannot be re-used. (airdromes are optional to be fair)
3-The Aqua Valve does not fit snugly into the trays and if these disconnect, your reservoir will flood into your tent (they will, disconnect as they are loosely attached to the bottom and want to float. Very
Poor Design). I checked mine every day and still had this happen 3 times.000
