LJ4Q23 Bolt II
SOP LJ4Q23 - 8-Plant SOG from Cuts
Objective:
- 8 Plants - Single Colas - No Branches
- Harvest Lemon Jeffery (Narrow Leaf Phenos): 70±5 days
- Light Intensity - Ramp up from 200
- > 40 DLI, at 13 hour ScotoPeriod, will need MAX Light to Achieve
- Ramp Light Intensity to MAX ASAP (3 Weeks?)
Notes:
- Lemon Jeffery handles HIGH LIGHT Well, even within 6” of Light @ ~1800 µMol/m2/
- The challenge will be achieving minimum 40 Mol/day, which in this setup requires 1000 µMol/m2/s @ 13 hour Scotoperiod

LJ4Q 10:B:1:3
- We had 500 ml Runoff from 360 X 8: 2880 total: 17% Runoff, which is a good number.
- Therefore - if we want to duplicate
Initial watering:
- Let’s start at nominal 110 ml/ event - 4x a day.
1.8 ml/sec, 110 ml: 61 Seconds, + 5 Sec -> Make it an EVEN MINUTE of irrigation.
- [x] Bring Reservoir Operational
- [x] Power Chiller
- [x] Install irrigation pump
- [x] Install circulation pump
Irrigation Approach
- We’ll use 1.7 ml/sec/line as the Baseline feed.
- If we water no more than the Saturation Volume daily . . .
- 440 ml/day, Max/Plant
Estimates
- AirPot Size: [ 4400, ml]
- AirPot Saturation: [ 440, ml]
- @ 3.2 ml/sec: [ 137, sec] # Max Per Day
- Assume 10 Sec ‘Fill’ overhead Per Irrigation
HF Fertigation
- 4 Events/day
- 11 hour Irrigation 4x/day Frequency: 2.75 hrs
- First Irrigation 15 Minutes BEFORE Lights On
- @ 1.7 ml/sec, 60 sec/event, 100 ml/plant, 4 times a day
- 60 Seconds/event, 4X/day

Delivery Frequency/Day: 4
Delivery Period: 2h, 45min
Delivery/Plant: [ 102, ml]

Usage Expectations
- 800 ml/day
W 6 Gallons in the res, we’ve enough feed for 28 Days - probably need to mix less. ;-}

Let’s go with 1.8 and see . . .
Following the rules of Halves - the Pre-Drip ring flow rate was 3.2 per line.
With the rings - it’s about HALF, maybe a little more. SO -

GROWER ERROR
- Left Irrigation pump connected to POWER instead of TIMER and drained 6 Gal of feed across 8 plants.
- I think they’re sufficiently watered . . . ;-}
- Gorilla Grow Tent HELD all the water until I could shop vac it out this morning during the grows scotoperiod.
- Will report on results after lights on @1900
Lessons Learned (SOP)
- ALWAYS ENABLE DRAIN PUMPS BEFORE INITIATING AUTOMATED IRRIGATION
- Some might call this common sense, not an SOP…

Lighting Plan
- Increase PPFD 10% until we’ve achieved [ 1000+, µMol/m2/s]
- Increasing light intensity will increase nutrient needs and runoff.
- STAY ON POINT.
FOLIAR Application: Bolt
- Solar Rain: [ 20, ml/gal]
- Silica Skin: [ 20, ml/gal]
Still looking for vigor. The girls still look like they’re enjoying a slumber party. ;-|
Evaluate Runoff
- After doubling irrigation time ( 1 min -> 2 min), we should have some runoff to evaluate.
- IFF NOT: Double Irrigation Time to 4 min
- ELSE: evaluate - estimate 10%/min, ~320 ml
LightIntensity: [ 850, µMol/m2/s] # The sooner we get to full light, the better. ;-}
- 440 ml/day
- 44 ml, runoff/day
- [x] Actual: [ 500 , ml]
We also had an extra 5 or so minutes of feed verifying pump yesterday. Will measure again Tuesday.
height range: [ 10, 6, 9.5 avg]
- [x] Increased Irrigation Interval to 3 minutes.

Irrigation Interval: [ 3, min]
Irrigation Delivery per Event: [ 100, ml]
Events per Day: 4
Total per day per plant: [ 400, ml]
Total per day delivered: [ 3200, ml] # < 1 Gal
- We target 10-15% runoff, so we’re looking for 380 - 440 ml runoff per day.
- IFF we have MORE than 380 - 440 ml’s
- [x] Reduce Irrigation Time to 2:30 (from 3:00)
- IFF we have LESS than 380 ml runoff
- [ ] Increase Irrigation Time time to 3:30, Re-evaluaute WEDNESDAY
- [x] Measure Runoff
- [x] Amt: 600, ml
- Total Run was 14 minutes. We’re using 100ml/min as the guideline, but believe it’s closer to 30-50 ml/min.
***TUESDAY NIGHT - LAST PICTURE FOR WEEK (Hopefully DRY and Praying)!***
Changed Irrigation from 3 min to 2:30.
@AustinRon, Ah okay. I still have mine drying now (aiming for 14 day dry) and like you, I use grove bags for the most part. Those terps are nice, Terpinolene and limonene are in my top 5 terps. I'll check back in a few weeks. Hope it turns out great
@Dabking, First grow - Meh (Grower Error) It has a terpinolene front, and limonene back - as cured, it's a good body stone - first harvest not a fave.
Second Grow is in the Grove Bags - Will report on first Smoke Test in about 3 Weeks! Better moisture control and slower dry - I have High Hopes!
@AustinRon, thanks for the reply 🙏 what are they capped with? after closer inspection it doesnt look like wood chips but more like rice hulls or grain chaff 🤔
