(11/11-11/17)
***All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add-in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids) TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely. The ppm and ratios of each feed will be listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 2. Bloom Mix recipe will be noted in this top message of the week that I make it.***
Week 1 Notes & Observations:
Both plants are coming along pretty good. No concerns rolling into week 2, I will be starting nute supplements in the diet this week but plan to add them slowly to the regular routine.
Day 18, WOW what a difference the feed made with Plant 1!? She was a good inch behind plant 2 at the start of the week and today she 'looked' bigger, so I measured, 2 days after the deep nute feed, and now she's an inch taller than plant 2.๐ฎ
VPD this week will reduce the humidity in the tent to about 70-75% and temps will be monitored for 75- 78F daytime and 68-70F overnight. Lights should adjusted to provide 300 max, but will try to hold the 280 setting as long as I can this week. Meaning no increase over last week other than growth.
Feed & Monitor:
Day 16 (last feed was day 11)
Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. Starting weight from each pot was 18 lbs and 8 oz, P1 weighed 15lbs 9oz and P2 was 15lbs 15oz before feed. Each plant got 1 gallon of purified water with 75ppm Veg Mix (recipe above and makes 1 gallon at about 3600 to 4000ppm concentrate to dilute each feed, i.e. I only fed 75ppm above the purified water ppm this feed) The ph on this feed was balanced to 5.75ph to combat the higher runoff ph from the last feed. P1 weighed 21lbs even and P2 weighed 21lbs 5oz after feed. I got about 5 cups of runoff on P1 and 6 cups on P2. Top soil tested at: P1 (6.37, 6.37, 6.37, 6.32) avg 6.357 and P2 (6.55, 6.61, 6.52, 6.42) avg 6.525 - Runoff for P1 ph was 6.29 with 1530ppm and P2 was 6.29 with 1580ppm.
Hope everyone enjoys the daily progressions of overhead and side profile (Organized Chaos). I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week.
@makeitl3gall, I dont think you can mainline Autos ... these are fast flower photo-period seeds by fast buds (see my germination week for details on the back of the package)
@Still_Smoq, That's a great question. Since I haven't tried it before Im not quite sure to be honest. I can already tell there's a noticeable difference in the growth and Im considering just letting it grow to see the effects on growth from this stage.
@Still_Smoq, 420 Fast Bud Fast Flower seeds are not Autos, they are photoperiod seeds - check out my germination week, I have a pic of the back of the package about midway through giving details of the "non-autoflowering" pack (also why it's a white package)
@Golden, TY, glad the method worked, but I think I'll go with glass of water then paper towel in the future. Might still keep the sanding of the edges tho.
