#2 is looking like the healthiest pheno up until now. #1 underwent the under-ph'd germination, #2 and #3 were re-geminated properly.
I think #3 suffered a bit from a bit too much PPFD, which I ended up lowering to 200.
Massive screwup of a week.
The plant was entirely stunted during this week and my pH pen (which has not been calibrated in 3 years) broke.
After buying / calibrating a new pen, I realized my pH level was 7.5ish this entire time.
I adjusted the pH down to 6.5 using citric acid and ended up flushing the plants.
Blue Dream took poorly to this so I re-potted them, gave them 1-2 days to adjust and then watered them with 40ml of water.
Transplanted into new soil this week into a 5g container.
I am also using Royal Gold basement mix on this run where i am continuing to use Pride Lands on Slurricane.
This was my first time transplanting from a 1g -> 5g and I should have ensured that the soil was a bit more wet before doing it.
Lesson learned.
500 PPFD / 32 DLI

Realized that I had my VPD too high and worked to get it into the 0.9-1.1 range.
I also realized that I was underwatering.
Lastly, I decided to lower my lights and kept PPFD to 550.
I will be top dressing this week for my next watering.
I am using Stealth Grows ratio as I am learning that the Dr. Earth recommended dosages seems to under feed:

Broke a branch and had to top it :(
Also did some LST
12/16 - Fed 1000ml water
12/17 - Adjusted light and set to 35 DLI. Plants were dry today so watered 1500ml to see if that increase helps me get to watering every 2 days
12/19 - Fed 1500ml water
12/21 - Fed 1500ml water, also lowered humidity to ~52
01/06/2024 - Plants are not drinking as much as they normally do, so didn't water yesterday and will move to 1000ml every other day to see what happens. No changes to DLI/PPFD.
01/07/24 - Butt chug at 500ml
01/08/24 - Butt chug at 500ml
01/09/24 - Butt chug at 500ml
01/09/24 - Showing a slight magnesium deficiency will be adding 1/4 tbsp per L water starting on Thursday (see picture)
01/10/24 - Butt chug at 500ml then fed 1000ml top water with 1 tsp of epson salt to help with mag deficiency
01/12/24 - Butt chug at 1000ml with 1 tsp of epson salt to help with mag deficiency
01/27/2024 - Watered with SLF and Mammoth. Trichs look cloudy, going to try to to stretch to 10 weeks, but the breeder says 7-9 and I think she might be ready at week 9.
01/29/2024 - Watered 800ml from bottom
Once I got things dialed in, it was a dream to grow.
Pros
- Took to both LST and HST, with a total of 2 toppings
- Was a predictable feeder
- The purple coloring was subtle and quite pleasant
- Flowering time matched breeders guidance
Cons
- Fed heavy on magnesium in flowering, more so than my other plants
- Terps were slightly weak compared to other plants
02/11/24 - Starting the dry period for 2 weeks, will come back and update.
02/23/24 - Harvested the following:
1.3oz (tops) 1.86oz (edibles / smalls and trim)
Current end of flower plans:
01/13 - Last recharge application - Start SLF-100 only water to flush (no more recharge)
01/20 - Assess leafs to see if I need to do a quick 1-week feeding, most likely be done.
02/09 - End of Week 16 (9 of flower) - Harvest
