My First Grow of any Plant ever!
So far, i'm happy... All Seeds popped.
Day 8: I watered the Plants today and saw wavy leaves.
Adjusted the SF-2000 to 40cm and around 40% Dimmer Setting. This gives me a PPFD reading with Photone of around 400
Day 9: Lemon Drizzle looks best, both Pineapple Chunk show slight curled up tips and Leaves look wavy
Everything fine so far, Both Night- and Daytime Temperatures are too high for my liking, but on Monday i get an AC/Dehumidifier Combo. I'll try to cool down Lung Room first, but maybe i have to put the AC inside the Tent.
28.06. I repotted the Plants from 1l Plastic Pots to 11l Fabric Bags, put some Mykorrhiza on the roots. 1l Pots were filled with BioBizz Light Mix. 11l Pots are filled 2/3 with All-Mix, rest is Light Mix.
The Nodal distance is incredibly small... like 3 nodes within 2cm...
I think its the Strains that are on the bushy side....
29.06. Today I did some LST with some Metal Wire
Pineapple Chunk #2 got Topped, the other 2 are untouched.
Everything going well.
I was worried because they all were so small at the beginning of week 2 but End of the Week they gained quite a bit of height. Main Stems got much "girthier"...
Today i saw some small flies, i hope its just a few...
At the Beginning of the Week, I topped the other 2 Plants, too.
Midweek I cut one 11l Pot open to see the root development. Transplanted 1 Plant (Pineapple Chunk #1) to a 19l Fabric Pot.
I lost about 10% of root mass and i didnt hit the "Bullseye". It's a bit of decentered Placement within the Pot.
Pineapple Chunk #2 started very strong but, i accidentally broke off one Top and now, It's the smallest Plant.
I dont like how she developed. She looks distingtivly different than the other to Plants. Much darker Green, Many small Leaves that Block each other out. And the "Texture" of the Leaves is very "Fleshy", The Size didnt change at all (Still just 12cm in Height). I might have to kill her.
Humidity was a big Problem at Night (rose to around 80%). Now I have a Trotec TTK-52e dehumidifier (Bad Thing about this dehumidifier is the fact that you have just 3 (4 to be exact) settings (40%/50%/60%).
Daytime Humidity is now at 70% and Nighttime around 60%
Adjusted the Height of the Lamps to 65cm didnt change the Dimming.
I want to have more vertical Growth....
Update:
I flushed Pineapple Chunk #2 with 15l of Water because of Nitrogen toxicity (Dark Green Leaves and some fresh leaves have brown curled down tips)
Flipped to Flowering Schedule on July 20th.
Checked every Day for white Pistils but there arent any.
Also I'm Not Happy with the development of Pineapple Chunk #2
she sprouted the eariest, i topped her on week 2 i think but barely gained any height.
Internodal distance is almost non existant, it looks like the young leaves stack so hard on each other they opress and "suffocate" each other in growth...
Pineapple Chunk #1 and Lemon Drizzle are doing well despite the lack of height...
Lemon Orange #1 and Lemon Orange #3 were added one week after seeding the main 3
They overtook all 3 in height... Lemon Oranges are almost 30cm but are the only Plant that were not topped.
Switched my watering to "Dunking" Method to ensure proper watering.
Why are my plants so small compared to their stem size...
Why are they not gaining any height....
Horizontal space gets limited but i can raise my lights at least 60cm
PPFD is around 550
Right now I'm very frustrated how things are running
Also when is Flowering starting?
When Pistils show up or when the light cycle is being switched?
Edit:
Yesterday first Pistil appeared.
Today some more, at last!
Took exactly 7 Days to transition
Stretch is still going on...
Many Budsites develop.
I think i raised the Light intensity too fast.
Earlier this Week, raised the Lights to almost max height.
Dimming set to 85%
Installed a Scrog Net...
Still stretching, the untopped plants more,
the topped plants less.
This Week we had very Hot Weather 93f and more.
AC Unit is running constantly since last Sunday.
Defoliated quite a bit.
Lemon Drizzle Color is too bright, maybe light-stress.
Besides Pineapple Chunk #2 all other plants are brighter in color overall.
Doesn't look unhealthy...
Not much going on.
Increased light to 100% as well as lowered the light to aproxx 20"
Pineapple Chunk and Lemon Drizzle both have golf ball sized buds but no real colas....
Stretching stopped at the beginning of last Week.
Buds gettings thicker, more trichomes....
Pineapple Chunk #2 was raised 10cm to even the canopy a little...
Nothing else to report
Edit:
Changed my lights from SF-2000 and SF-2000pro to G-4500
The Smell is very intense...
Lemon Orange has the densest Buds, followd by Pineapple Chunk and Lemon Drizzle last...
Today is Day 56 in Flower...
I'm tempted to harvest but i'll go for another week....
I dont want to Harvest too early
Last Week my Fridge Grow Cultivator arrived. I wanted a Cannatrol for Drying and Curing but changed my mind and bought the Fridge Grow 2.0
It can do the same as the Cannatrol but more...Both have Prices of around 2k
Last Week, i wrote an email to Green House Seeds for clarification what is considered Day 1 in Flower.
And Green House Seeds said: Day 1 of Flowering is that Day, white Pistils appear!
I wanted to harvest yesterday (Day 62 in 12/12 Light Cycle) but i have to go for another Week.
Trichome inspecting is real hard with bad Eyesight... even with jewelers loupe
No Nutrients since last Saturday
