White Truffles S1 / Apex R1

nerdz This week will include some germ time. I hate how GD counts germ as a week. Got some super high end genetics for this run. Grabbed me some Beleaf and Exotic Genetic for the next few. Never thought I'd spend so much money on seeds but we ain't growing autos anymore! 😎👉👉 Look at how big and the condition of these seeds. Damn. Germed in 140ppm velokelp @ 5.8 Feed: 250ppm @ 5.8 25/70rh Mars Light @ 8k lux first week. 48 hour germ In coco sat @ 6pm Sprouted Monday

nerdz V8 to 14 Monday These plants are keeping a pretty nice pace so far. I think most of my slow growth problems were all from my pH pen being off for the past couple grows and we're looking back on par with the usual pace. Colors are looking nice as well. The two White Truffles in the back are acting a little weird. I remember the sprouts looked a bit weird and slow when I planted them. The Apex is looking great so I'll most likely cull one of the back truffles and transplant the Apex in their pot. Such a shame but that is life. 25c/68rh Lights ~12k lux with my yellow meter. Approx 275PPFD / 17-18DLI 400ppm veg @ 5.8

nerdz V15 to 21 Monday 550ppm @ 5.8 20DLI 25c/66rh

nerdz V22 to 28 Transplanted the Apex and replaced it with White Truffles #3 Fairly nice sized plants for this age. Will put them on autopots in a day or two. 650ppm @ 5.8 25c/64rh 0.78kpa Lights ~25DLI V26 Trained em a bit. Front left is super brittle. Snapped off two stems so stuck em in water for some clones. Doubt I'll need em but maybe it's time I try to start making clones. 23k lux oh my yellow meter. About 30dli

nerdz V29 to 35 Monday Coming along nicely. I need to get my other grow trimmed so I can move them into the big tent. Oh. Also. My brand new pH pen broke. And my EC pen is also broken. Switched to Apera that has a replaceable probr, sick of Bluelab now. EC pen will be here sometime this week, so feeding a little bit blind... 750ppm @ 5.8 26c /67rh Lights 23k lux

nerdz V36 to 42 Monday Got some trays so I can start manually bottom feeding them in case my autopots aren't ready. Since I started they really picked up. My brand new pH pen just broke again so it would explain the slow growth and yellowish leaves. I ended up switching brands that lets me replace the probes. Tired of dealing with that especially since the bluelab pens are wildly expensive now. My TDS meter also broke and so I'm feeding blind too. It should hopefully get here this week. Thinking I buy a backup exhaust and some other stuff since everything has been getting used for over 2 years now... Exciting times. 750ppm (I think?) @ 5.8 25c/65rh Lights ~23k lux.

nerdz V43 to 49 Monday Back left is running into some super droopy problems. Did what anyone here would do is defol, LST and supercrop it. Who knows, maybe that's exactly what it needs. My humidity was super high above where it should be. Probably that maxed with the APs being on. 750ppm @ 5.8 25/59rh Lights ~16-18" @ 400w

nerdz F1 to 7 Thursday Stripped and flipped. These plants are a bit small and I was getting worried that back left one would get too big. I've noticed my leaves are a little bit lighter green than usual. I am pretty sure I am under feeding since I have stayed at the same usual ppm range as always, but my old broken pen was reading -200ppm. I will need to adjust for that. Maybe do 850ppm instead of 750 late into veg. We'll find out on the next one. Quarter bloom @ 1000ppm @ 5.8 25/58rh Lights 14-16" @ 440w

nerdz F8 to 15 Thurs Blowing up. Autopots on 247 now. Air on max. Lights max ~16-18" from canopy. I will defol a bit sometime this week then one more time at F20. F11 - small defol. There is a lot going on and I will need to pull them out and do a proper clean up, train and lollipop. For now they look a bit gangly there was not much light getting through. 1000ppm half bloom @ 5.9-6 25/56rh Lights 100% @ 16-18"

nerdz F15 to 21 Thursday Bad news is one of the White Truffles hermed. Down to three. Thankfully that Apex is huge so I I'll be able to stretch it out and fill the tent for the most part. On a positive note, I have way too many plants going at once I am about to harvest my other tent but one of them is a week or two behind so I will chop the rest and move that one into this tent. Anyway. I did a little cleanup especially in middle and bottoms and stretched them out to fill any gaps. I still need to do the back left. 1000 full bloom @ 5.9-6.1 25c/54rh Lights max close af

nerdz F22 to 28 Thursday K very slow on these updates. With the hermed plant I had to slap that Apex around quite a bit to make it fill the gaps. The pics don't show just how fricken huge that thing is. I am running behind on schedule, l the big defols should have happened on f20 but I've been a bit busy and fell behind. Removed all major fans (what do fan leaves even do again?) and spread them out. Despite looking like shit in the pics right now, they are very healthy, frosty with phat stalks. I expect at least 700g dry from these 3 plants. I'll say over 300g on the back plant alone. They will be very perky once they recover from all the training and defoliation in a few days. 1050full bloom @ 6.0 25c/54rh Lights ~10-12" @ 100%

nerdz F29 to 35 Thursday The big week. I need to stretch that front right plant out more. Most of the branches are repaired so I can probably remove the support ties. Coming along nice. Front left will be full of baby buds so I don't think I'll yield too much on this one. Maybe 600g dried? 1050ppm @ 6 25/62 Lights 100% @ 8-10"

nerdz F36 to 42 Thursday Back plant is very large but the fronts aren't bulking up too much, especially the front left lol. It will be interesting to see the results 950ppm @ 5.9 - pushing on the astrobloom a bit Lights 100% @ 16-12" 26/56rh

nerdz F43 to 49 Thursday These are turning out okay after all. Very sticky. 950ppm @ 6 25/50rh

nerdz F49 to 56 Thursday These guys are coming along. The front left is meh. The front right is promising. The Apex in the back has HUGE nugs. I wish I put a bit more effort in this grow. I should have removed more leaves sooner to get some better light pen in there. I had to tie a few branches up to hold the weight. These are the types of strains I don't want to grow. So much frost but such little buds, oh and don't forget the herms, we hate herms. They are very yummy. Looking forward to trying it. I'd say around day 63 is when I'll harvest so there's still some time. 900ppm @ 6-6.2 25/49rh

nerdz F57 to 63 Probably last week. That Apex threw some fat buds and probably needs more time but the others need to come down so I may have to chop early.

nerdz Hung to dry full.

nerdz Thick frosty buds, massive plant. Hopefully 300g dried on this one
