Week 17, concluding ninth week of flowering: Hi(gh) Guys, I’ve been a little confusing maybe last post, the Bruce typically needs between 63 and 70 days from first signs of flowering to mature. And I’d planned harvest on day 70, because growing underneath LED’s learned me they need a little longer usually. Day 70 would be on 5th off May. I’m still aiming to harvest, well, 4 may, and unless the trichomes show something different I hope to harvest then. Those high pressure lamps deliver fair amounts of radiated heath to the plants, what helps them kick in gear metabolism and finish their cycle a few weeks quicker. I’ve been contemplating on why the ‘Upperdecker’ (read: plant 10 ;-) finished 2 weeks earlier by the look of it? I thought last week that plant 10 started flowering underneath the blue growing LED’s for two weeks and then moved to the tent. But I now realize that the temperature must play the part to! Off course I hope to pull it off again, the upperdeckers that is! We will see… Not much info this week, just going steady as it goes. I’ll try and make some nice budporn next week before harvest. Get your towels ready… ;-) Grtz, Budcrack ;-)

hey there budcrack hard to input based on a plan, but what i can see straight away is that you're not optimal on your vapour pressure deficit, VPD. VPD basically regulates the metabolism of the plant and if you want to optimise your grow time especially veg time, you'll want to tune that in. what you want to do right away is to get the humidity up and temperature about 1°C lower by using a dome, or a PET bottle cut in half over each of the seedlings to keep the moisture in. i see you're using coco nutrients and bloom boosters on day one... why? dont do that bro, you're gonna stress or maybe even kill these seedlings like that. Right now what you want to be doing is promoting ROOT growth, how ? kelp extract and micronutrients... combine them in a foliar spray spray once every 2 or 3 days until dripping wet for the first four weeks or so. that will help keeping the humidity up at least a bit as well. you're already using vitalize, which can be part of that spray... I see you got those LEDs and spectrums tuned in real nice : warm white is perfect, you got it ! a few last things ... your lamp to plant distance should be no more than 12 inches, currently you're at 17+ dial that in otherwise your plants will stretch all wrong. 7 PH is actually way too high ! what's the PH of rain water? 5.5 why is that important ? different nutrients get absorbed at different PHs, you want to lower the PH to at least 6 or even 5.8 if you can. i know it's a lot, but that's my best advice ! hope this helps ! 🚀

My question is what improvements to my basic skills would enhance my plants general health and resistance against plagues and diseases. I want to learn how to improve health because of hydroponic aspirations in the future, where it is key to be able to react on minor changes! ;-)

Hi @Budcrack! I would recommend to consider DIY foliar sprays. In my opinion foliar feeding is an underrated topic, but a good foliar solution can have multiple benefits. Whether you want to speed up the growth, fix an upcoming deficiency, repel/kill pests or prevent an invasion, you can do all of this with 1 DIY foliar solution. I'm currently digging into this "perfect foliar spray quest" and found some surprising results by mixing humic acids, some Nitrogen fertilizer (MegaCrop), crushed garlic, liquid latex and neem oil. Doses should be experimented and adjusted, start with low doses for everything. If you experiment this please share your results with us! Hope this will help, happy growing 👊

If you'd please look at the pictures with 'question' stated below them? This is actually the biggest bud, only it is showing these strange edges. There is (for now) no budrot, i checked. The leaves are firmly attached. What should i do, harvest it? The other buds don't show this.

Still feeding this late in flowering? Don't forget to cut the nutes 2 weeks before harvest and just water them untill you Chop. Looks like a problem with over- or underfeeding. Check this link out and try to deduct what you've been feeding and when and what you could be lacking or overdoing on. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-cannabis-nutrient-and-deficiency-table-n88

Hi Bulbi, brought down Ph with acid, thus acidulated.

@Budcrack, hope so too - let's see ! bottles can probaly come off, check the VPD, maybe put a thermometer and hygrometer in there and double check maybe it's hotter than you think

@CRiSPrGrow, they are back under the bottles now to hopefully restart metabolism. The lights are all on again on 24Hrs. I hope by the end of the week they continued growing.
CRiSPrGrow

@Budcrack, gotcha... only two reasons i can tell the leaves would turn yellow like that is if they dont like spray with pH much lower than 5.5 or higher than 6.5 or they dont like nutes in their spray; second reason is kind of strange but it happens with clones very often : so basically with everything dialed in perfectly, the metabolism is in overdrive due to the crazy light schedule so the plant wants to grow crazy fast and since it's too young it has less root mass and doesnt have enough roots to suck out the nutrients it needs from the soil so it starts cannabalising its leaves. cut the lights down to a still very intense 18/6 and see if that helps?

@Adrenalized, Thanks for your input. This is 1/71 buds, and it's the only one showing this (and it's the biggest). The rest ony has little burned tips. This week concluded the seventh week of flowering under LED. They need 9 weeks flowering in total, and i started flushing beginning the eight week, so no probs there!! And LED usually takes a little bit longer, but i will check on those trichs.

@Adrenalized, well that would explain there is no sign off budrot. This lamp can be used as close as 5cm. Guess that bud came to close then! Thanks 😊

@Budcrack, well if it isn't the nutes my second guess would be lightburn. I see the lights are pretty close to the plant, and probably the biggest bud gets closest to the lights? Anyway the rest of your girls are looking Very Tasty. I hope I'll get Nice plants like you 🙂

@Mrtony, Yeah, i'm taking my time drying trough and trough because otherwise the inside of the bud is to wet and i can't get the moisture down inside the container. This way the right amount of moisture is added by the Boveda packs, easier to get it up than down. But it's true, it's not a big plus for the endweight. I can assure you though, this was one of the best tasting bud i'd ever had, and it lasted me untill two weeks before the Honey Cream was ready, so it was almost enough. ;-)

@CRiSPrGrow, hi Bulbi 👋! It seems that they stopped stretching and directed their energy to foliage development, it looks great. I'd learn that only young clones need high humidity because their root systems handicapped. Where now only 10 days on the way since i'd planted them, and i can see now that this really makes a difference. I also see that there is so much contradicting information to come by, although my initial source is a good one! I learned all my basic skills from it. Anyway, thanks man!

@CRiSPrGrow, hi Bulbi 👋! two days further, and the seedlings where up for another spray. So i went through them one by one, and FUUU...😠 totally forgot about the fact that the spray would cause the wooden sticks to mold!! So immediately removed the sticks along with the mold, i hope the seedlings won't be affected by it! Ok, the seedlings where sprayed for the first time on Sunday, today they look as if growth took a few steps up! Great! The stems didn't grow any longer, but the leaves definitely are positively affected by the spray. I was scared as hell to do this, to be honest. But you already knew that from our chats. What would be a good time to remove the bottles, and maybe start with a mild nutrient solution? Thanks man!

To answer your question: They look great, although there's two things I want to point out. They are stretchy, try puting them closer to the light. Second, you are feeding too early, you risk burning them, diecisiete if you are going to transplant them to 11 liter pots later, let them feed on the soil.
Budcrack
Budcrack
@@Athos, reduced height from 45 to 30 cm's (see last picture). I now must see that they don't become to hot, closer to the lamps. Deleted planned nutrient to give this evening, will continue with plain water.
Budcrack
Budcrack
@@Athos, first i will put them closer to the light right away, i was careful because the new LED's are much more intense than the previous lights (Which where only the LED-strips). I hope that end of next week they will show better response on being closer to the light. Second, i was planning on giving the stated amount of nutrients this evening, divided by the 10 seedlings in 1 liter water. Up until now they only got plain water. So i will wait to give them nutrients longer. Thanks for your input!

I wouldnt complain many would envy to be having your current grow. It takes years to master growing methods and you only really learn once youve done it for yourself 👍 No popcorn buds here!

@GreenHouseLab, can't argue with that! I'm now growing for five years, of which the first two almost didn't yield anything smokable (but maybe that's because i started growing sativa on hydro in a 160x80x80?) !! But i'm not complaining, i just want to try to do a perfect job, and try to keep you guys informed how. Happy growing mate!

Hey budCrack definitely get in with newbie of the month if you can! Theres only 8 diaries in so far....and the likes will add up quick and before you know it you wont qualify for newbie anymore...thats what happened to me. My outdoor took 6 months, so by the time it was harvest i had somehow made it to master status even though i do not feel that way at all...so no newbie of the month for me. 😥

@Experimentgreen, hi ExGREEN 👋! I'd finally find a moment for a proper reaction to your comment, notice that i also asked you another question on chat. First, thanks for your kind words, if one would start its first grow, and try to take into account everything that helps to finish that round perfectly, I think your heads going to explode. I think in practice starting something like this takes almost everyone to make a lot of mistakes and learn a lot! I’m at it now for more than 4 years, of which the first two years delivered me hardly something useable!! Last indoor season (2017-2018) I was finally confident enough about my skills to plan and try to make 3 overlapping rounds, of which the results are seen here in the pictures (before Growdiaries). So now not only the base-skills but also the routine is there. So this season (2018-2019) its time to put the dots on the i (is that a saying in English?) Ok, first I want to tackle your comment on popcorn buds, for the last year i'd started using lower additional LED-bars for lighting these lower buds, and they are actually useable now. You can see from the pictures from last season that my plants always where very stretchy, what will now hopefully changes along with the help from Growdiaries growers. Do you suggest to remove everything apart from the mainsite? When you look at the pictures from last rounds harvesting R.Q.S. O.G. Kush, what would be the part you would have removed? As for the hot months, and whether or not to use an airco, that would be to expensive and stressful. I had a mobile airco in the bedroom in my last place, but there was always something with that thing. And I like to have a break that period to relax a bit and renew inspiration for next indoor season. The place where my tent sits is far from ideal, but the other 9 months suffice. Thanks for your input! 👍
