Hello fellow growers!
This is my first entry on growdiaries. I've been growing for about two and a half years, and got most of my knowledge following other growers from this site. I've decided to start sharing my own grows, so I can learn from experienced growers even more, and help other growers too if I can. This is around my 7th grow now.
I didn't document any of the veg for this plant, and only started documenting since Week 4, but going forward I will be trying to document the whole cycle of the plant.
I'm running x2 ETHOS Fanta Sea RBX & x2 ETHOS Citradellic Sunset. I vegged them for around two months in 1 liter pots, than transplanted them to the larger 15 liter pots and into my flowering tent for about a month. I usually flip them after a week or so from transplanting, but this time I was abroad and I didn't want to flip them and not tend to them during the first weeks of flowering, when the huge growth spurt happens, so I decided to flip them after I come back.
The result ended up being with all plants growing and stretching like crazy during my time away, before even flipping. Once I flipped, I threw in a scrog net and bended as much as possible. A week later ended up putting up another scrog net. I was afraid that the plants would stretch right under the lights, but now during week 4, any growing seems to have stopped and the plants energy is being channeled into the buds.
During the first 3 Weeks of flowering, I had a huge issue with humidity which stayed around 70%. Problems stemmed from being in a basement, bushy plants, bad ventilation & perspiration from AC + Heat from light fixture. I learned much more about humidity from this grow. It's much more stable now after adding another dehumidifiert, fixing the ventilation and defoliating heavily.
See you next week for the next entry!
@Polodk, Thank you man! Yes its exactly that! I don't veg for most of the grow under those lights. Typically i'll start using the light after transplanting and i'll let them veg for 10days or so and would always try to keep 30-45cm distance @ 50%. I'll go up to 75% after 1st week of flower, and 100% at 3-4 week. Right now I can't go any higher and some buds are around 20-30cm away from the light.
@BakedPotato42O, Always been satisfied with any ETHOS grows. By far my most favorite commercial brand I used. They're pretty reasonably priced too! Thank you for your comments 😎
@Hologram, I just was tending to them. The citrus smell on the Fanta RBX is something to behold. I will do a light flush to the medium tomorrow (As recommended by T.A.) I think, and will start giving it the KoolBloom ripener from sunday or monday. Curious to see if it will get more resinous :D
