Pound Dawg F5 GERMINATED on August 14th, 2024

DAY 50 - 10/4/24 - No look. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 72.0 H 54.8 V 1.21 DAY AVE: T 74.0 H 53.8 V 1.32 DAY 51 - 10/5/24 - No look. But numbers have seemed stable. The plants seems to be feeding just fine. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 71.3 H 56.2 V 1.14 DAY AVE: T 74.0 H 53.9 V 1.31 DAY 52 - 10/6/24 - No look. Humidity seems to be starting running down today. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 71.3 H 57.4 V 1.11 DAY AVE: T 73.9 H 54.0 V 1.31 DAY 53 - 10/7/24 - Finally got a look @ 7:30PM! Front Right has been drinking the least. All the cocos are damp enough, or at least they seem to be close to the top side. The res for most were dry, FR the worst. FR has burn marks, dark crispy brown marks on leaves. It was possibly drinking the least. Also Back Right, Da Bush is on that secondary line. I should have put all the pots on a single line and I can rest that line going down. Definitely the plants on the back half of the autopot system (The Right side Plants) are not drinking as well as the plants ont he primary line. The is because of distance, positioning, slopes, gravity, etc. All very important. This is a fantastic Second grow. I am learning so much. Front Right looks stressed, more orange pistols than the others, crispy leaves, still growing tall and strong despite everything. The lines should be stable now, I have them sloped then flat. Last lines under First lines. Will check individual reses tomorrow. FEED: 2 gal water, PH’d to 5.4 NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 71.1 H 55.3 V 1.16 DAY AVE: T 73.9 H 51.7 V 1.37 DAY 54 - 10/8/24 - The plants need more water and I need to look at res issues. I am prepping a feed now, but I want to ensure the plants are getting their full flush. The autopot reses were pretty dry yesterday, I have not checked them yet today. I need to figure out my new dosage, I need to finalize the line fix, I need to ensure everything goes as well as it can over the next 30 days as we enter late flower and start to finish. I see about a month till I start Cake. I am happy with the amount of Cropsalt that I ordered. But I will likely need to order the 5 x 1 gal concentrate bags for my next run! At the advice of Planty on ChatGPT, I will lower the Kelp and Silica to 2 ml/gallon. I hear they need much less of this during Late Flower. Took another look at the lines, shortened the back connecting line by half. Propped up lines and tied together at various spots. I rotated the primary outside reservoir by 90 degrees so the line is facing the tent. Individual reservoirs seem to be filling or at least connected for now. I will check again in a few hours. This is now the primary issue to nail down going into finish. Really, I should have had this settles long agp, and I thought I did. There is always a learning curve. My plants survived my trip. I am happy. Things are not as optimal as they could be, but we exist in the real world. Mistakes and bad things are bound to happen. All things considered I am so very pleased! Proposed feed ratio for next week: 1 Gal: Runclean: 0.4ml Silica: 3ml Kelp: 3ml Cal/Mag: 5ml CropSalt A: 5.1g OR 37ml CropSalt B: 2.6g OR 37ml FEED: 1 gal water, 2 ml of PH down added, not PH tested. FEED: 6 Gal water, 2.4ml CS Runclean, 12ml Silica, 12ml Kelp, 30ml Cal/Mag, 210ml CS Bloom A/B. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 70.2 H 57.4 V 1.07 DAY AVE: T 74.8 H 52.0 V 1.41 DAY 55 - 10/9/24 - Gave the plants a big haircut today. Big defoliation, not quite done, but looking really good. Going to let the plants recovers for a day or two before going back in. There was a block in the tubing. Kelp I believe. I cleaned the sponge within the autopot res. I placed the lines properly within the tent. I rotated and spread all the branches. I am very happy with things now. The plants are back to drinking heavily, the feed is flowing. The air is cooling, and the environment is stabilizing. My temp and humidity levels are going to be all over the place today. I left the water res pump running all night. I moved it to pump water at the sponge spout at the bottom of the feed. I left it on most of the day to mix up the kelp in the system. It might be worth it to dump that feed out? I will check tomorrow and see how much the system has drunk. FEED: 6 Gal water, 2.4ml CS Runclean, 12ml Silica, 12ml Kelp, 30ml Cal/Mag, 210ml CS Bloom A/B. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 70.5 H 59.4 V 1.03 DAY AVE: T 74.9 H 52.3 V 1.41 DAY 56 - 10/10/24 - Plants looking good. I rotated the pots, pushed the smaller ones closer to the center of the light. I also LOWERED the light a bit and filled the res with 6 gals of feed. I’ve left the pump on through the night and into today. I am trying to break up that kelp in the res. It looks pretty red and muddy when it is low, I may need to dump out the feed when it gets low. Maybe I feed that top side? Maybe I toss it? The tent is smelling so fruity today. Yesterday it was all burnt rubber bands with some sweet underneath. Today the fruit overtook the rubber. I just want to sit in there now. I am letting the plants rest. I am also letting some spilt water finish evaporating before I give the trees another haircut. I see some Kelp deposits that need to be cleaned. It combined with itself and the silica to form little rectangles like what you find in bodies of water. Fascinating. I have the most trimming to do on the first two plants. I was too gentle when I started and I didn't cut the ends of the fan leaves nearly as much as I should have. I also want to be sure I cut off all the gross brown crispy leaves on Front Right. My sensor probe is in a good spot, the lines have been positioned into optimal positioning, the plants are rotated and placed properly. I am really happy with this grow son far. I am learning so many lessons! Learning when to futz with the plant, when to let it be, how to feed, how to maintain the feeding apparatus, how to run a cool and stable environment. How MUCH coco feeds! Nothing about this run has been optimal. I have these short, stubby thick plants. They are gonna bush up and swell real big. I am glad I am growing without a scrog to see how the plants are working on their own. Not sure if growing straight up is the right move, or if manually bending via scrog is better. I keep waiting for the plants to curve a bit to bend a bit and lend more room to the smaller branches. Maybe this will happen as the flower sites swell? Maybe the branches will start to bend? I have no idea. All I know is that the next 30-50 days are going to be wild! FEED: 6 Gal water, 2.4ml CS Runclean, 12ml Silica, 12ml Kelp, 30ml Cal/Mag, 210ml CS Bloom A/B.
