DAY 30
Today I made some changes in the room looking to distribute better the lights and the plants. Now they're receiving equal amount of light and much better quality/concentrated light. Plus they have more space to grow without shading each other.
Also started feeding them with 2L instead of 1L (I felt they're too big and have a big root for just 1L).
ATM they're with the same growing feeing scheme, they dont look like they're about to flower. I plan on keep feeding them with the grow scheme for about 5 days and then start with the bloom nutrients phase.
Only bad thing is that 2 plants are getting their leaves wrinkled and like duller than the rest. Also it looks to me that their leaf colour is a bit darker than the rest of them.
Any ideas or suggestions??
DAY 35
Today I started giving bloom nutrients to 4 more plants (6 in bloom and 4 in the last days of grow). They look good but both amnesia are huge, so they're almost hitting the lights, and they will grow a bit more, so I gotta do something about that ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐ฝ. But they're growing nice and the small ones look much better now that I added a some "worm juice" a local agronomer gave me.
@OkieJim, thank you bro! Yeah shit happens, but well now I cleared up the room ๐๐ผ. I got only 1 Amnesia left, it's really much taller than the rest of moby dicks, and they're the same age from seed. Next time I will try some LST on the Moby Dick, I've seen some people applying it to MD and the results are amazing!
Good luck bro! Your babies look healthy and ready to give you big fat buds ๐๐๐ฝ
@bono420,they look great! That amnesia is CRAZY. Are they all the same age from seed? Wow. So sorry you lost one of them to Hermie. Did you loose all the Amsesia?
I have seen other growers elevate the smaller plants and raise the height of the light to distribute light evenly. From my understanding when moby stretches, you will have to lower and adjust accordingly as the two strains grow at different rates. Awesome job man. Looks like a crazy Jungle....
I plan on switching to flower tomorrow. Keep in mind that this is my first grow also and all the wisdom I have gathered is from reading. ALOT. lol. Good luck. I will definately keep following...
you actually have a combination of things, slight over watering, nitrogen toxicity, and either the begining or root problems or light burn from the set up, what kind of reflective material is that? some materials are actually not adapted and leads to issues like this.
@bono420, specialised mylar canvass should be fine, some materials are "too reflective" for plants if that makes sense, but yeah a closed space without enough exhaust will raise the humidity, what you're going for is actually VPD that's optimal for veg so something like 0.8 and over if I remember correctly. Look up VPD, see for yourself. ๐
@CRiSPrGrow, thank you for your help Bulbi! The reflective material is mylar. Do you think humidity has something to do with this? Because the room gets a bit humid sometimes...
Wow. I am also growi g Moby Dick but mine are not autos first, second I am in Dwc hydro, 3rd tours are twice as BiG... I'm doing autos next time. Gonna grow a blue or purple.... I am on week 6 and your plants dwarf mine. I did the manifold bit still twice the size. Wow. I'll follow. Great looking babies, imo
yeah man really interested in the new XXL strains. great harvest, usually really strong high... gonna follow... what i learned so far 10 gal pot size really improves yield.... next time i might run em in 20 gals get em proper beasten.
@CRiSPrGrow,Hi Bulbi! Yeah, I've learnt from previous experiences that pot size matters a lot. That's why I chose these 7 gal smart pots instead of the 3-4 gal pots most people think are enough for autos. And obviously filled them to the top ๐. Thanks for following the process ๐
5 weeks in and displaying some explosive growth.
Both strains Moby Dick XXL and Amnesia xxl auto should now be slowing down on the vegative growth and the transition to flower is near ๐
Looking in great shape and set up to perform very well in bloom.
This looks like it will be one amazing flower show and I'll be along for the ride and watching with interest ๐
Good luck mate. I'll drop back in on the next update ๐
All the best ๐
Mark..
That's very unusual for our Amnesia auto to hermaphrodite and for our Moby dick xxl to not flower is also super strange!
Look out for a PM my friend then we can chat more. Something is not right and I want to try to help ๐
All the best โ๏ธ
