Beginning week 3 of veg
- Plant in final 5 gal fabric pot
- Slight increase in PPM for feeding
- 5th nodes coming in
- Plant looking healthy, green leaves, reasonable amount of stretch but not a runt
- Runoff pH at 5.6 and PPM very high, a lot of this is due to the fresh coco in the new pot
- Light at 450 PPFD, 18" away from top of plant
- Temps and humidity steady, with about a 7 degree F swing between night and day
5/19/24
- 5th set of leaves coming in
- Seeing some brown spots on the first and second set of leaves, but other growth looks good so not terribly concerned- these will be pruned off for the mainlining anyway
- Stem developing nicely and starting to thicken up
- Keeping the feed water pH slightly higher to keep the runoff pH up (around 5.8), PPM continues to fall off as the new coco is settling
5/22/24
- New growth coming in well
- Some serious browning and curling of some of the old leaves. A couple of things seem to be going on- while the runoff pH is generally around 5.7, the symptoms seem to indicate a high pH, so I'm going to keep going with pH feed around 6 to keep it stable.
- The other issue was light- the plant grew, and I was not taking measurements often enough. I noticed the leaves praying up and took a measurement and it was at 750 PPFD at the leaves! Dimmed the lights to get back to 350 last night and today, the plant seemed much happier. Going to keep an eye on it.
- Runoff pH around 5.7 and PPM around 1100
- Watering every day, alternating days of pH water and feeding
- Plant is almost ready to be topped, but going to give it a few more to make sure the leaf issue is stable
@Realtor_Red, Thanks! Getting close to the end, and I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. Learning some things for the next go, but this one is better than the last, so onward and upward! 😃
5/3/24
- First true leaves are out
- Humidity domes removed
- Light feeding started with General Hydroponics Flora Series
- Plant 1 looking OK
- Plant 2 bouncing back, still smaller than #1, but I'm more optimistic about it given how it looked when it emerged
- Maintaining daytime humidity in the mid 70's (F) and mid 60's (F)
- Humidity at 76% in tent
@Dabking, Thanks so much! This was a fun grow and I learned a lot along the way, I think there are some nice outcomes here. Please do stay tuned- the way Grow Diaries works, it looks like I can't add multiple weeks to document the drying and curing, but I'll keep updating this page as all of that goes along so people can see what the ultimate outcome and results are. Really looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!
@Legendaryseedthumb, Thanks very much! I think it turned out pretty well (we'll see after the dry and cure), but I also learned a lot along the way for the next one. Always trying to get better and get more knowledge. Thanks for checking out my diary!
