Pound Dawg F5 GERMINATED on August 14th, 2024

DAY 24 - 9/9/24 - Night temps are off because the sensor was hitting the leaves. I readjusted the sensor when I raised the light just after 2 AM, got more accurate readings. It is really helpful to have different sensors in different areas so I know what is happening at different heights and locations. I have my main handheld sensor at bottom, front of the canopy, and the sensor somewhere near the middle top. I take an estimated average of these numbers and make my own conclusions from the multiple data sources. It would be a full time job to monitor and track everything as efficiently as possible. I am happy with what I am doing for now. I feel I am rightly on course for my second grow. I am learning, improving, and adapting. I cannot want for more. I tucked, trained (bent) and raised the light. Trying to keep them al lrelatively evenm with each other. Damaged left back plant is doing great. Not sure if I will ever remove the transpire tape? We will see. I plan on letting the plants rest and grow a bit before I do more training. I will reassess in a day or two. It’s been about 5 days, I’ve adjusted twice, I snapped a main stalk. A better grower could be tucking and training 2 times per day at the rate that these are growing. The feed tank drifted up to 6.0. I PH down’d to 5.7. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 71 H 75.5 V 0.62 DAY AVE: T 75.2 H 58.1 V 1.22 DAY 25 - 9/10/24 - Plants looking healthy this AM, feed almost down to where I am comfortable filling it up. Maybe no CS Run Clean this fill… I need to refill the feed tank and retrain the plants. Lots to do moving through week 4. Raised light by 6 clicks, washed out old nutes from feed tank, PH’d to 5.8, watered top side, shook water off top leaves getting hit by light. Then I added the new feed to the tank. It is naturally PH’d to 5.9. I ran the pump for a few minutes. I’ve adjusted it to run at 50 percent power, maybe a bit more, but it is perfect now. Like a little fountain in my feed tank. I tucked just a tiny bit. Will go over training tomorrow. Might unwind the current training tonight before lights out, readjust midway thru tomorrow or the next day. FEED: Added to tank when tank next to empty: 4 gallons of water - Veg A 240ml, Veg B 240 ml, CalMag 18ml, CS Run Clean: 0.5 ml, Silica 12ml, Kelp 24ml. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 72.9 H 62 V 1.02 Day: AVE T 74.9 H 58.1 V1.21 DAY 26 - 9/11/24 - Seeing little cabbage heads on back left, and some other places but most prominent on back left. I retrained the plants today,getting some nice stretch and reach out of the branches now. I also readjusted the transpire tape. The top of the break looks thicker than teh bottom. I added a lot of tape and held it at an angle that should help it fix and not tear it apart. The feed tank drifted up to 6.0 PH. Light still at 80%, 18 inches from top layer. Not sure to switch light power in a few days or in 10 days. I checked and retucked the plants at night. Already I see the heads pointed towards the light. I used PH Down on the feed tank. It had drifted up to 6.1, so I brought it back down to 5.8. COuld have done this thru adding a new feed to the tank, as I had about 1-2 gallons left, but I was tired, I can do that in the morning. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 73.7 H 60.5 V 1.12 DAY AVE: T 74.6 H 58.7 V 1.18 DAY 27 - 9/12/24 - Plan on adding food today and tying down/training more of the mid-large branches. Feed naturally PH’d to 6.0, I PH’d down to 5.7, added to feed tank, feed tank PH balanced out to 5.8. I have 2 gals of Veg 2 nutes left. Plants are rocking right along. Feeling good. Pre flower is sort of starting, not in full bloom, but will really start to get into gear in the next 4 days. I should also be done with the current round of nutes in about that time. FEED: Added to tank when tank next to empty (1 gal left): 4 gallons of water - Veg A 240ml, Veg B 240 ml, CalMag 20ml, CS Run Clean: 1.2ml, Silica 16ml, Kelp 30ml. 1.5 gal feed. Same strength. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 73.0 H 61.7 V 1.03 DAY AVE: T 74.7 H 60.0 V 1.15 DAY 28 - 9/13/24 - Plants looking good. Trained more, adjusted light. Added 1.5 gal of feed, last of Veg 2 nutes. Ensured leaves were tucked and autopot feed line was straight and flat. FEED: 1.5 - Veg A 90ml, Veg B 90ml, CalMag 7ml, CS Run Clean: 0.4ml, Silica 6ml, Kelp 8-10ml. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 73.3 H 61.6 V 1.04 DAY AVE: T 73.8 H 57.8 V 1.17
