She has been topped at the second node as I do with all my plants. Tbh, the light cycle will most likely change before this reaches sexual maturity and so it may well get taller than it would otherwise. It’s either that or run the 60w veg light with a small but powerful usb fan I have… who knows. I’d rather avoid a separate tent if I can tbh.
The MH 6” smart fan I got is fucking ace…it’s so quiet it’s unreal. Because it’s so oversized it runs on like 22%, which makes it super quiet - even with a carbon filter that it’s pushing through. It’s also saved me so much lectrcity compared to the 4’ RAM one because it puts itself on standby mode when everything is all good then auto,atically turns back on when it feels fresh air is needed - it’s been working great!
I’m so amazed that an in-line fan can be so quiet - they were usually the part that gave me away in the past!
She is NOT looking so pretty now! It’s crazy what can happen in 3 days. Usually I would have hooked it up to the AutoPot system but where I’m waiting for that 1 auto to finish, I don’t have space to add yet another saucer for another AutoPot and so over the Xmas period it kinda got ruined - I was only away 3 days!
I thought about this and I came to the conclusion that it needed repotting as iv always been told the pot size is the battery - although you do have to be careful about overwatering if you get one that’s too big.
I didn’t have one that was a decent size for that plant but I just found one that’s slightly wider than what it’s in now, only it’s really tall and so it can sit on the floor and be the same height as the rest of the plant pots. Given a weeks love and care, it’ll be back to normal.
What iv lost in that plant, iv definitely gained in the Tropicanna Poison. That thing is getting massive as you can see it on the left hand side creeping into frame.
Edit: okay so she’s back to normal after a good watering. I’m going to be chopping the mephisto soon so it will have an AutoPot to go into. I’m considering putting the big one in an AutoPot XL but the problem is repotting something of that size as well as the fact it’s trained to the pot.
Therefore I’ll probably leave it where it is…
This will all happen in the next few days to a week. I’m glad this has come back to normal so quick though.
I decided to just turn the lights down a bit in order to save electricity.
I’m also running it at 16h a day now, so it’s not going to be long til I flip.
So we are doing good, it’s just annoying having to do the work at night because it’s cheaper.
I bought a new 2x4 because I have a plank of wood holding mine up and the corner finally gave out! I can’t really afford it but having just harvested the triangle vs og by mephisto 🤷♂️
I’m happy with how things are going but I will have like 3x the quantity of Tropicanna and maybe diesel than anything else!
It’s all got a bit wild in there! Firstly I flooded it twice! It was either a dodgy aqua valve or the way I’d laid the water cables, I think it was causing a siphon of sorts and just overloading the first plant so that’s gone a bit yellow but that’s a diff diary.
This one is doing well considering it’s only been alive like 3 weeks and then chucked into flower!
She’s not sexually mature yet but is still growing okay, it could become an issue and i may have to feed it seperately when the others are in advanced flower but they arnt so it’s not too much of an issue.
I only log it as a flowering week once iv seen pistols on the plant and iv not seen them on this plant yet.
So I have noticed a couple of pistols shooting out the main cola. I fimmed her and one of the branches is growing more than the others and she’s now showing a hair or two.
Don’t get me wrong - it’s very early stages of pre-flower but hey ho, it’s progress and I do usually update my diary with a flowering week if I see that.
Tbh, I already know I want to grow this plant again - it has a potential of 30% THC so you better believe that I’ll be cranking up that 300w light when she starts showing trich’s. Should be soon. It’s hard when all the plants are connected to the same irrigate. It’s a sort of balancing act - I get the NYC diesel in check and another shows signs of over feeding. Stuff like that is why I would love it if grow dots were an actual respectable price.
Edit: I pulled her out to defoliate and debranched slightly. Just the stuff that won’t grow into anything.
I also changed the res so it’s getting more P and k than N. They should start packing on weight soon enough - the tropicanna is definitely ahead in this regard but I’m seeing more and more pistols on the other plants also.
So things are going good. I had an issue with my shower and was worried where the pipes would take them but it’s all good now. The leak was from below me it was just they had to turn off the stopcock to my shower. So it’s nice to have a shower again!
Iv not done anything this week really other than poke my head in.
Oh shit yeh I actually hoisted the fc-e3000 up and put it roughly where it would be in a 180cm tall tent but then I also added my TSL-3000, daisy chained them and dimmed to 60%. Ideally I would have the fc-e3000 the other way round so that I could put the bars either side of the TSL-3000.
I was looking at the 2000’s editions of High Times me man it takes ,e back - all the ads are either full grow boxes that are ‘stealth’ or detox solutions for drug tests! Haha bad times….not much better here now tbf.
I did find it interesting that it took the police a while to get used to it when the states (well, it was only cali at this point) legalised for medical use.
The police here are in that phase here in the UK!
Edit: annoyingly I snapped the very top of one of the cola’s off by accident, which is annoying as there weren’t many to begin with. Hopefully it’ll just mean the very tip of the bud just goes down a little to the next node. We’ll see I guess! Tbh, I’m more concerned about getting some sort of bud rot from the tropicanna being too dense.
I wouldn’t ever veg plants for this long, with this many plants, in a tent this size again. Probably max of 3. Oh well, we’ll see what happens, I’ll probably cut off some more side nodes to create some air space
Edit: to be honest, I’ll most likely take out the long light because it’s just blocking loads of the light from the FCE3000. I think I’ll slide the fce3000 down to the end with all the tall plants as the canopy is all the size height and then add the 150w ts-1000 for the low down diesel plant.
Lights are on until 11:30 so I’ll try and do it today…
Pretty much the same s the other diaries - this plant is the smallest for sure but she is also the stickiest and it’s not even fully puffed up yet….she does have a little leaf burn at the edges so has been over fed slightly.
Really annoyingly, when I hoisted the Mars Hydro FC-E3000 onto the frame of the tent, I snapped off one of the tops of this plant, it’s too late into flower for it to ‘top’.
I’m going to leave it like this (with regards nutes) for a few more days because I started the pk boost on a Wednesday for some reason. I’m waiting to get paid in order to germ more seeds for my next round so that it takes my attention off of this tent and also it will mean I can just keep it at 12/12 rather than having to pay for more electricity - I mean, the seeds can be germ’d in there, they don’t need too much light so I think it would be okay on the floor as the temps are right….
I COULD set up my thermo/hydrostat that’s in the dry tent and use it with a heat mat but shit, if I can do it in the tent then it saves electricity and I’m making the most of the electricity.
I’m looking at their Bruce Banner #3, among others from that breeder now that I trust the brand! It’ll be SO much easier if I can get all the seeds to germ within days of each other rather than weeks of each other! The only thing is when they get too big to be in there, or are stretching for light, I’ll move them into the tent I’m currently using for drying - it’s just energy I could without having to pay…also the noise is really annoying.
I accidentally knocked a top off of this plant which is annoying but I expect it’ll just change the hormones and the way the plant grows.
It’s a small plant, probably on par with the NYC D but it’s growing upwards and in a smaller space than the diesel.
This is one I’m going to grow again next time. I need to work out what I’m going to grow again and get germinating tbf.
I think I’m going to do 4 plants again, however this time I am going to time them all to germ at the same time, using more plants with less veg time.
I’m going to have a look in my box of seeds today and see if iv got anything in there that I forgot I had.
This is definitely the smallest plant for sure. It is also the greasiest/oiliest. It only has like 3 tops though as I broke one off which is annoying. I think it’ll start to flourish after iv removed the massive, all space taking, Tropicanna plant from the space. I just get totally paranoid at this stage - as soon as it’s cut down and dry it’s all good and ‘legl’ because I have about 50 of the tubs the medical weed comes in. Fill them all,up with my own flower and it becomes ‘legal’.
@Lemonhazelover,correction - she DID look so healthy…this was before I went away for three days over Xmas. A few have suffered a little, pushing back the 12/12 date a little. Still got a couple weeks left on the mephisto plant that’s in there so that’ll be the perfect amount of time to nurse them back to health….
