- Started my Low Stress Training on 03.05 by topping and defoliation of the lower leaves
- Plan was to have 2 main stems on each plant but while mainlining I broke one of the main stems of King's Kush
- I quickly used a rubber band to fix it and waited for 2 days but had no luck
- So I removed the defected stems and had only one main line left as in the classical method
- This created a lot of stress on King's Kush, causing stunt growth but it started recovery after 3 days by developing new leaves. Not ideal look though.
- Chemical Bride seems to handle it better since there has been no accident etc.
- Also increased my light intensity to 70% on 06.05 which translates to 63% in SanLight Led Lamps considering first 20% is equal to 0%. I know that it's weird but as a side not, finding that out so late slowed my growth.
- I have also increased the light distance to 65 cm on the same day.
- I have also started GreenHouse Bio Enhancer on 04.05 which helps root development and I plan to apply it every 2 weeks until Harvest.
- On 08.05, I started to observe downward Clawing at one of leaf tips of Chemical Bride. According to my research, there are 3 possible reasons: Nutrient Burn, Over Heating or Over Watering. I do not believe that it is a nutrient burn so I stick to Option 2 and 3. In line with that diagnosis, I am planning to increase the light distance to 70 cm and to shifting the watering cycle to every 3 days instead of 2 days.
- No Nutrients added yet because I still believe in my all mix soil. The Plan is to start with GreenHouse BioGrow Powder in reduced portion in Week 6 and then start feeding GreenHouse BioBloom Powder beginning of Flowering at Week 7 or 8.
- Temp fluctuated between 21 & 30 Celcius which might be the potential reason for clawing. This week I am trying to stabilize it by increasing the running time for AC during daytime and limiting at nighttime.
- VPD fluctuated between 0,4 and 1.4 kPa in Week 4. Ideally it should be around 0,8 - 1.1. I am also trying to stabilize it by adjusting the runtimes of the humidifier.
- On 08.05, I started using yellow stick bands for insect prevention.
Hi, hab hier in Wien auch das gleiche Problem mit Hitzewelle, Regen und sehr hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit.
Für den Blüte stretch sehr schei$$e.
Ich hab zwar einen Entfeuchter,braucht aber 400 Watt und bringt noch mehr abwärme.
@creamykees, Hi,
Es scheint, als müssten wir uns in diesem Teil der Welt mit dieser Realität auseinandersetzen :)
Um die Luftfeuchtigkeit so weit wie möglich zu reduzieren, lasse ich das große Fenster des Zelts offen und bedecke es mit einem Karton mit Löchern, damit es tagsüber, wenn die Mädchen schlafen, ungestört dunkel im Zelt bleibt. Und ich werde den Luftentfeuchter vor dieses Fenster stellen, wo die Luft abgesaugt wird. Auf diese Weise hoffe ich, die Wärme zumindest zu erhöhen.
