12/2 22, misted topsoil, watered bases 6.0 ph. Tucked some leaves that were blocking bud sites. Switched the light from 20% to 30% yesterday, noticed some outside edges of leaves started turning dark green after 12 hours. They are fine today and have adjusted to the light.
12/3 23, misted topsoil. Watered bases. Noticed all fabric pots have spots where roots are peaking out around the bottom edges. Did a bunch of LST to get light to bottom nodes.
12/4 24, misted topsoil. New 8x4 tent is supposed to show up on 12/8, cleared out a spot for it last night. Going to move the light higher after work, growth may have slowed a little bit since going 30%.
Didn't adjust light, growth still looking good. DLI 28.3-28.8. Watered 1gal 32oz to bases.
12/5 25, misted topsoil. Watered bases. Adjusted LST wires. 12 hours after picture, every plant is pre-flowering. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, my last grow pre-flowered on day 25 too with smaller pots. I even topped on like day 13 of my last grow. Maybe 24/0 light schedule is making them flower early? It could just be a coincidence.
12/6 26, misted topsoil. Watering bases twice a day now. Watered 16oz recharge.
12/7 27, going to stop misting topsoil so the fungus gnats go away. Watered bases. Light still 30%, 31-33 DLI on the 3 big plants. 26 DLI on stunted back right plant.
12/8 28, letting bases get low on water. 8x4 tent showing up today.
@Golden, thank you, my next ones after this are purple lemonade, wedding cheesecake, gorilla cookies, and banana purple punch. The wife picked this one and I'm down with it.
@Dana488, I start on day 5, using 16oz per plant once a week. I think my dosage may be off in the diary, I'll change it. I've been doing 1/2 tsp per 1/2 gallon every Wednesday.
I fed these ones super early on day 5 with dry nutrients and they didn't burn. Day 39 I went super hard and used a full recommended dose and they showed leaf burn ever since.
They can take more DLI in late flower than recommended too without any extra leaf burn. I think im sitting at 62 or 68 DLI since day 59 when only 45 is recommended for autos in late flower without co2.
I checked trichomes yesterday and there's 0 amber so it's looking like 70-77 days minimum. I just wish I would have increased my light power sooner since they aren't as dense as I want them to be right now.
So far no setbacks and the trichome terps smell insane.
