I flipped Bertha at the start of this week. I planned to wait until the clones were rooted, but she was getting too big, so if I was to have any chance for a harvest in my tiny tent, I had to flip her.
I looked at many other diaries growing this cultivar, and the stretch isn't that bad. Fingers crossed!
That said, she almost doubled in height in this first week, and I hope she will calm down, or I will run out of room in the tiny tent. She looks healthy and vibrant, but she is one stinky lady! Let's see how bad it will be once she actually has some buds.
The kids are just chilling out in their tray. It's been over a week, so I’d like to start seeing roots soon. I put a small USB fan inside the tray to provide some airflow under the humidity dome, and I directed the fan away from the clones so they don't get dried out by direct wind.
I also gave them a very light foliar feed, using a very mild solution of liquid organic nutrients for veggies I had standing around. I'm not going out to buy some expensive cannabis nutrients to feed my clones a few times. Cannabis is just a plant, after all.
I have been preparing the tent for the kids so it is ready when they are. Hanging the fan and filter, installing the new light, pulling cables, etc. The usual.
Finally, the BIG news: Our government voted through cannabis legalization a couple of days ago, which will take effect in seven weeks.
Sure, there is a bunch of silliness in the law, but I take silly-legal over stupid-illegal any day!
Plus, we're getting legal home-grow.
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! 🎉🚀🍾🎊
Hola amigo
Los ventiladores que se ven en las primeras fotos, ¿son ventiladores de ordenador que has conectado tú?
¿Podrías decirme como los has conectado a la Red eléctrica? ¿Con un transformador?
Gracias!
@nonick123,
Hey.
Those are USB fans, so they are powered through regular USB. I use a USB output in the power socket I use for my light, exhaust fan, etc., but you can use a regular 5W adapter.
Search Amazon for "double fan USB", and you should find something similar. I spent 10 euros at the hardware store on angle brackets and metal profiles for attaching the fans to the tent.
The fans aren't very powerful but are enough for a young plant and for under-canopy circulation later in the grow.
I have to add a more powerful fan later in the grow for better circulation in the canopy, but no idea where to fit that fan... lol
It's challenging to grow in a 40x40 cm tent, but that is part of the fun :D
Curious what u were using to monitor ur DLI? Was looking at a proper meter but just curious what u maybe using. (Lux,par or phone app?)
Been trying to really monitor the DLI in my newer grows , but not to sure how close Photone actually is without having a Par Meter to gauge off of.
But appreciate the info u share in your journals !! Hope she explodes for u ! Best of luck!!
@Grow4Releaf,
I'm using a PHOTOBIO PAR Meter. Not nearly as good as an Apogee meter, but I can't justify that cost as a small home grower, so I went with cheaper one.
That said, the Photone app is supposed to be really good, so why not start with that one? Certainly can't beat the price ;)
Also, I believe that the accuracy compared to "real" PAR meters isn't all that important. The real benefit is to be able to quantify the changes. For example, the app reads a PAR of 800 in flower, but you want to push harder and increase it to 900. Easy enough to measure with the app, so does it really matter that the initial PAR really was 824, and the final 917?
I don't think so, although I still would like to have an Apogee ;P
Thanks for your well wishes, and I hope you have great grows as well. 🌱🍀 Your Platinum Jelly looks great! 🎉🚀 I've been wanting to grow In House for a long time, and I can't wait until we go legal so I can order some seeds for myself.
