I started feeding them Mega Crop this week and they are doing great! I might mainline them next week, but I'm not sure what the best method is for me, I want a low effort one. 😁 This will be 3 plants in a 3x3x6 tent max yield configuration, any ideas?
Lets see,
-Moved them into the 3x3 with fce-3000 300w light (also 1 critical growing with them for another grow)
Its in the basement and its colder down there so after a few days of too much light water and cold they did not like that, so
-I added some heat and they are perking up.
-accidently topped one lol, started LST on it.
-They are quickly outgrowing the 1 gal ice cream buckets I am going to transplant this week.
-I will also add the drip line.
-Also adding a time lapse camera
Bye
running between 300-400 ppfd ( dli 30)
growing ok, temps are more stable low is 69 never got below 65, but idk they do not seem to like low temps or too much light.
I didn't check EC or pH enough, started seeing weird issues, they were not taking nutrients fast enough and had a bad EC spike before I got auto-watering setup. I didn't think it would be an issues this time but I was wrong, never forget to check EC pH just in case!
starting to get big going to slowly defoliate this week.
added some microbe life for humic acid.
The one in the back left it seems to be struggling I think it may have become rootbound... I have a 5 gallon I will try to transplant...
I missed last week but I just let it fill out the screen.
Flipped it to flower yesterday.
Added sweet candy.
The plant on the right is the weird. One but it seems to be doing okay.
Forgot last week oops.
Should have flowered two weeks sooner they're so tall lol.
Will probably remove top fan to make more space.
next time I am doing full hydro ebbflow table.
Updates: forgot about last week. Crazy weird things have been happening to me and slowing me down.😅
Anyway Some buds seem small some are starting to turn purple.
Lets talk genetics this "gelato 44" strain by Royal Queen They state it has Gelato Parents. Gelato has like 100 phenotypes. Gelato 44 being one of them, is clone only for obvious reasons. If it wasn't it would have different parents than OG Gelato.
Gelato seeds have a 1 out of 100 chance of getting Gelato 44 or so correct? This strain labeling is either BS or nonsense take your pick😄
If anyone knows what Gelato 44 is actually supposed to be like let me know!
Watering details:
Watering twice a day, morning late after noon, for 1 hour each roughly.
Low flow irrigation, about 2-3 GPH (drippers they clog up too easy). Using 2 air stones and Hygrozyme to keep root zone full of air and enzymes to keep the microbes happy.
EC and pH are stable down to half a tank where I top it up with half strength after about 3 days and change out once a week.
TIP:
Proper washing of the roots, then carefully spreading them out, looking for any rot, and soil health.
Inspect them to making sure the roots are clean and heathy during transplant and this will prevent hidden problems later!
I made a simple mistake transplanting that caused issues it was very confusing:
starting from clear buckets and letting them get root bound,
then some algae growth appeared so I just panic transplanted and I didn't clean it off.
BIG MISTAKE!
💚🐢
I missed last weeks update, I was distracted again...
2 Week status:
finishing up nicely starting to look nut deprived on tops so lowered lighting
the one on the right is is turning purple. others are more green must be different phenotypes.
seed lottery.. I have some clones of the purple one at least.
Notes and observations:
-changing water tank once a week toping up with plain water.
-left side is more green and looks lower yield
-flushed for a few days with Epsom salts and pure water.
-turned down lights to 80% (800ppfd)
-opening up tent as humidity is getting high, making sure it has enough air so not to mold.
✌️❤️🐢
would love to show you harvest but it won't let me save it thanks for the "error".
Flushed with low EC epsom salt pHed water for a few days.
Lets see, it was growing ok seemed to not like cold and I had some issues with it getting rootbound and not cleaning the roots and spreading them out when transplanting it. It makes a huge difference!
Trimmed and dried for 4 days @70F/60RH cured for a few week in jars with Boveda 65% packs.
I keep getting ERROR trying to finish this...
