Welcome to the start of week 11….my sixth week of flower. First things first….the point of this test.
AC Infinity self watering pots still working great! Minimal effort needed….i just top them off with .7 gallons of nutrients every day. I have not been cleaning them out as often as recommended (every 2 weeks), so there could be some algae in my reservoirs. I did flush the pots one time between veg and flower to avoid salt buildup at the roots. In testing the runoff ppm, I firmly believe that flushing mid-grow was the right move. (I paid for my self watering pots, so this is not a paid promotion). Rating 10/10
Mars Hydro UV/IR lamp worked too well. I used it in a smaller than recommended tent (2x4) and the IR lighting really resulted in some extreme stretch. If you’re ever in the mood to grow tall cannabis plants, then try the IR light. Personally, I plan to retire it because I prefer short plants. Rating 7/10. (I paid for this lamp…not a paid promotion)
I know that week 6 of flower isn’t the ideal time to defoliate. I removed a few larger fan leaves that were blocking bud sites, especially on the LA Peyote Kush and Zkitzz #1. Zkitzz #2 has grown into the grow lights….which are over 6’ off the ground. Huge stretch with this plant and the IR lighting.
Leaves are looking extremely healthy…..no signs of any deficiencies. Buds on LA Peyote Kush starting to turn brown and curl in. The Zkitzz is a 7-8 week flowering strain that seems to be running behind. Meanwhile, the LA Peyote Kush is a 9-11 week strain that appears to be moving quickly. Hopefully I can harvest all on the same day since I use my tent for drying.
My attempt to train these as short “quadline” plants failed miserably as these are the tallest plants I’ve ever grown. Oh well…..
@@Hankster, Yeah i understand the issue. I tried a few things for increasing humidity. Ranging from wet cloth to a humidifier. In the end i think a humidifier is a great investment for having a controlled range of humidity. All others methods were either spiking or just missed the desired humidityrange.🤔 I ,on my side, always struggle with temperatures because my lights heat up my tent quite a lot. But i think thats a big part of the journey: to find out how you can manipulate your environment to get the desired marks. 🌱🍀
@Herbie101, thank you! I’d like to figure out a way to increase my humidity more….but I’m not in a tent (this is in a closet). Your germination setup is even better IMO….you are giving me some new ideas. Thanks again.
@@Hankster, nice. I just chopped a few of mine. I've used the same AC infinity pots and still use them on some of my plants.
Just be sure to check the reservoir as mineral/salt build up can occur and without checking and scrubbing/cleaning it you wouldn't really notice until the plants show you lol.
Other than that I do like them.
Also, you can use the wick rope and put the wick around a stalk and the other side into a water source and it will work it that way as well for those who don't have autopots.
@Dabking, thank you. The LA Peyote Kush was nice harvest and a decent smoke. Looking forward to trying these Zkitzz soon. Maybe 2-3 weeks away from harvest.
Thanks! I’ve been paying close attention and even checking leaves with the microscope…not seeing any bugs fortunately. Thanks for the heads-up though as it reminded me to be mindful.
Wow man really impressed with how this grow is going, you've really covered everything 🌱 good luck with it I'll be checking back in on this one, they're looking good 💪🌿 I'm gonna do my first bit of LST tomorrow the time has come 😊
@@mcelligrow, thanks for the kind words!
Good luck with your LST tomorrow…..definitely worth it! I’ll be doing some trimming this weekend to get them ready for training too.
@BudBoutique, thank you for the kind words! I’ve made a few mistakes with this grow (especially the branch bending clips), but they’ll live through my abuse.
Best of luck with your grows too….they look beautiful!!
