White Russian Run #1

Stoner_Thoughts OVERVIEW: Fertilization & Irrigation Every week 1 Liter nutrient solution per plant (except last 2 weeks of Flower) Starting in week 1 with 1.5 EC and slowly increasing to 2.5 EC until week week 6 of flower. pH of the nutrient solution always between 5.8 and 6.2. In addition the plants get irrigated by drip irrigation, which is controlled by the root pressure of the plant (Blumat System) Week 4 Fertilizer: Powdered Nutrients Guanokalong: 50g/Plant High Phosphor Powder 50g/Plant Seaweed 25g/Plant Veg Pearls 25g/Plant Veg Powder Week 6 (Before flipping to flower) Fertilizer: Powdered Nutrients Guanokalong: 50g/Plant Palm Ash Tree (High in Potassium) 20g/Plant Bat Guano Week 9 (Week 3 of flower) Fertilizer: Powdered Nutrients Guanokalong: 50g/Plqnt Sugar Cane Powder Light Intensity Week 1 (VEG): Light Intensity: 20k Lux / 370 PPF Week 2 (VEG): Light Intensity: 20k Lux / 370 PPF Week 3 (VEG): Light Intensity: 25k Lux / 460 PPF Week 4 (VEG): Light Intensity: 27k Lux / 500 PPF Week 5 (VEG): Light Intensity: 27k Lux / 500 PPF Week 6 (VEG): Light Intensity: 35k Lux / 650 PPF Week 7 (FLO1): Light Intensity: 31k Lux / 575 PPF Week 8 (FLO2): Light Intensity: 31k Lux / 575 PPF Week 9 (FLO3): Light Intensity: 31k Lux / 575 PPF Week 10 (FLO4): Light Intensity: 32k Lux / 590 PPF Week 11 (FLO5): Light Intensity: 33k Lux / 610 PPF Week 12 (FLO6): Light Intensity: 33k Lux / 610 PPF Week 13 (FLO7): Light Intensity: 33k Lux / 610 PPF Week 14 (FLO8): Light Intensity: 33k Lux / 610 PPF Light Schedule (For Mid to Late Flower) Week 4 & 5: PAR Light 9pm-9am (12H) UV + IR Light 8:50-9:00pm, 9:10-9:20pm, 8:50-9:00am, 9:10-9:20am (10min ON - 10min OFF - 10min ON) Week 6 & 7: PAR Light 9pm-9am (12H) UV + IR Light 8:50-9:00pm, 9:10-9:20pm, 9:30-9:40pm, 8:30-8:40am, 8:50-9:00am, 9:10-9:20am (10min ON - 10min OFF - 10min ON - 10min OFF - 10min ON) Week 8 & (possible 9) PAR Light 9pm-8am (11H) UV + IR Light 8:45-9:00pm, 9:10-9:25pm, 9:35-9:45pm, 7:25-7:40am, 7:50-8:05am, 8:15-8:30am (15min ON - 10min OFF - 15min ON - 10min OFF - 15min ON)

Stoner_Thoughts Notes: The first 2 weeks i just want the girls to get comfortable and settled. In total maybe 3-5 weeks Veg.

Stoner_Thoughts Notes: Trained and pruned them. Slowly filling out the room.

Stoner_Thoughts Notes: Fertilizer: Powdered Nutrients Guanokalong 50g/Plant High Phosphor Powder 50g/Plant Seaweed 25g/Plant Veg Pearls 25g/Plant Veg Powder Watered down with 1L 5.0 Ph water (to balance out alkalinity of nutrients) Every week 0.5-1L (in weeks with powdered nutrients less or no Biobizz nutrients added) Biobizz Nutrients EC 1.0-2.0 pH 5.8 I feed them in low concentration some general NPK nutrients so the plants never lack any macro or micro nutrients.

Stoner_Thoughts Notes: First time using a trellis net and i already learned a lot. Pruning took a long time because i overdid the trellis technique, but i learned a lot of new things and tricks and I am looking forward to improve in that regard. Fertilizer: Powdered Nutrients Guanokalong 50g/ Plant Palm Ash Tree (High in Potassium) 10-20g/ Plant Bat Guano

Stoner_Thoughts Start of flower. Pistils are showing. I lowered the light for one day slightly too low (very dumb & avoidable mistake) and burned a couple young leaves on the top (in the middle where the light intensity is the highest). Now Im gonna leave the light at 40cm above the canopy running at 25% power with and average of 600 PPF. I think after the plants recovered they will like the adjusted light intensity & hanging height. Light intensity 35 kLux/ 650 PPF

Stoner_Thoughts Because of the burned leaf tips and the heavy defoliation they are under more stress than I planned out. Lets hope we can get them back on track in the next 1-2 weeks.

Stoner_Thoughts This week temperatures increased. We had a couple days with 28-30 Degrees. I hope the heat stress was not to bad and thankfully the temperatures drop the coming week. Im gonna increase the weekly feed to 2.0-2.5 EC until week 6. The last two weeks just water.

Stoner_Thoughts I took some of the light burned parts out to focus the plants energy more on the healthy top flower sites. Im not happy with the results so far, but nevertheless I will make the best of it and apply the things I learned next time. Looking back I should have flipped to flower much earlier (probably end of week 2) and would have avoided a lot of unnecessary pruning work (and probably less popcorn buds). Added 50g of Sugar Cane Powder plus 1l liquid fertilizer 2.1 EC 6.1 pH (last powdered nutrients until harvest, no liquid fertilizer in the last 2 weeks)

Stoner_Thoughts Nothing special this week. Watered 1l per plant pH 6.2 EC 2.3 Next cycle I want to increase the calcium feed for the last veg weeks before flower and for early to mid flower I want to increase magnesium feed. Didn’t see any deficiencies, but I think they could do better (thicker leaves and better darker color, less red coloring in stems and petiol)

Stoner_Thoughts Showed slight fading in the some leaves. Therefore i gave them this week 2L per plant pH6.2 EC2.3

Stoner_Thoughts Realized my controller had the wrong leaf offset (vpd) (1 instead of -1) and therefore the wrong vpd. Very dumb and unnecessary mistake. Sometimes you just wanna slap yourself. Therefore from now on leaf vpd check every 3 days.

Stoner_Thoughts Many of them are falling over. I already saw that coming but i was too lazy to add another trellis net at the end. Next time i will prune much more aggressive at the start of flower and also will use a second trellis net. Next time I also plan on making a better approach regarding the documentation if the grow and a big focus of mine will be keeping vpd more stable.

Stoner_Thoughts Decent grow. Didn’t prune enough, which could have decreased the amount of popcorn buds. A little over 200g of dried flower after 10 days of hang drying (18C 60% RH) with 250W.
