Grow #1 GZ

MissAK My 1st ever attempt. Using Viparspectra TC450w light in a 60x60 tent. Planted into jiffy pellet & put into propagator @ 22c/70%rh, sprung up in 3days, potted into coco and put on 18-6 cycle, only given half day cycle 1st day & started 30% veg light only. Room temps steadily around 22/24C 55/70%rh daytime, 18/20C 60/75%rh night. On day 7 I increased the light to 50% still only using veg light.

MissAK Day 8 light increased from 50 to 60% still only using the veg light. Also watered 150mL no nutes just water. Pot with coco is 140g, after watering on day 9 pot was 390g. Day 10 increased light to 70%, day 11 increased light to 80%. Steady growth. Watered again day 14 pot was 250g b4 & 355 after, run off pH was 6.4. Water fed was 6.6. Waiting for my Britta filter. Room steadily 22/24C 55/70%rh daytime, 18/20C 60/70%rh night.

MissAK Day 16 starting to yellow at the tips of 1st leaves wilting but stiff, either overwatered, looking for some food as it’s only had water and is in coco or light too close. Put extra holes in bottom and side of the pot. Day 17 still looking droopy, moved the light from 18 inches to 27 inches away still only 80% veg light. Day 18 @ start of daylight increased from 80 to 100% veg only light. @8pm pot 240g giving 1st feed. Made 500mL mix, 1.1mL of both canna A & B, plant had 150mL weighed 355g after, 5.74pH, 1.48EC. At midnight (halfway through daylight) increased light to full spectrum, 100%veg, 20%bloom. Day 19 still droopy added extra holes into side of pot. Day 20 Temp in room has increased to 25C during day with the extra light heat. Pot weighed 295g. Day 21 Light increased 100%veg, 40%bloom. Pot weighed 260g, plant is 5cm tall now. Seems a combination of feed, air holes, light spectrum and air holes is helping.

MissAK Day 22-28, Steady growth this week with a light feeding of canna A&B on day 24, then a little water on day 27 to hold them till I transfer to new pots. Light changed on day 25 from 100% veg & 40% bloom to 100% & 60% (recommended for veg in Viparspectra manual). Temperature has increased with the brighter light so my extraction & intake is now on for 20 mins every hour of daylight, cools temp to around 23-25 and slowly climbs for remaining hour to around 26/27. Temp drops during the ‘night’ to 18 still which may b a problem but they seem ok so far. Repotting & proper feeding on day 29.

MissAK Day 29- Repotted into 2L fabric pot, fed 140mL of of a 600mL mix with 1.6mL of both A&B pH 6, ppm 792. Day 30- A bit of growth Day 31- Watered 400mL of plain water. pH 5.8, ppm 236. Day 32,33- A bit of growth Day 34- Fed 300mL of a 900mL mix with 2.4L of both A&B, pH6, ppm 773. 1st leaves starting to yellow badly. Day 35- Got humid over night leaves had some droplets on them, wiped off, a little growth.

MissAK Steady growth, watered 3 times this week. pH between 5.5 and 6.1 each time. 1st leaves browning due to no light, Happy so far.

MissAK Nice growth this week seemed to like the extra cal mag, fed twice, 1 with nutes, 1 without.

MissAK Identical to last week, two feeds one nutes one water. Used a lower pH this week. Took off lower leaves as dying.

MissAK Transferred into new 8L pot, fed twice same as last few weeks 1 with 1 without nutes. very nice growth this week. Needed the new pot clearly!

MissAK Growth slowed down again but it’s still going. pH 6 to 6.4 this weeks feeds, still twice one water one nutes.

MissAK Watered 3 times this week, twice with nutes one water. Also added small amount of Pk 13-14 to the first feed. Grown a bit more running out of height so flipping end of this week.

MissAK First week of flowering as they getting to big. Lights changed to 80% veg(blue spectrum) 100% bloom(red spectrum). Watered twice, removed small and low leaves after a few days of flowering.

MissAK Same as last week watered twice, 1 with 1 without nutes. Buds starting to form now. Smells very sweet.

MissAK Watered and fed once each again this week. Given buddy and calmag also, ppm952 with nutes, 337 without. coming along nicely, I’m very happy :)

MissAK This week I have watered twice with nutes both times. Ph 6.2 & 5.8 ppm 882 & 1041. Might have to remove some leaves to keep the humidity down.

MissAK This week I have watered three times with nutes each time. Ph 6.4, 6 & 5.8 ppm 1263, 1100 & 1127. I did remove some leaves to help with humidity. Buds are growing quite slowly and I think humidity is the issue but am unable to lower it below 50-55% lights on, 55-65% lights off. Fans In/out and inside on constantly. Purchased indoor humidity thing for cars but not helping.

MissAK Watered twice, 1.5L then 2L minimal to no run off. 5.6 a&b, 6mL buddy & 3mL calmag each time. pH 6.0 both times, 1250 & 1275 ppm. Also removed some leaves again.

MissAK Watered 3 times this week as the weather has been hotter. Temps no higer then 26(day), no lower than 20(night). 2L each time. 5.6 a&b once, 5.8 twice. 6buddy once, 8buddy twice, 3 calmag each time. pH 5.8, 6.2, 6.0. ppm 1298, 1495, 1625. Removed more leaves today.

MissAK This week I decided to use plain water for the first feed, the run off ppm was very high 2000, so I ran more water through. The. Watered twice more this week, ppm down to 1100. This week I also changed the light from 100% veg & bloom (as recommended) to 70% veg 100% bloom.

MissAK Once again just water this week twice. Ppm down to 900 after 2nd water of the week. Ph range in was 6.1-6.7 coming out was 5.7-5.9. Seems to have liked the less veg light instensity.

MissAK This week as the ppm was back down I started a light feed. Fed three times. PPM in was 663, 613 & 684, pH 6.0, 5.9 & 6.5. Runoff was ppm 780,805 & 968, pH 6.0, 6.1 & 6.3.

MissAK Ppm back into normal range gave a little feed of 1ml canna a&b once and water the 2nd time. PH6.5 & 6.4, not much has happened this week, but nothing bad either!

MissAK Weather got hotter this week so watered 3 times. Ppm run off was down to 630 last feed so fe with A&B + buddy and PK13. Ppm 652, 330 & 326, pH 6.5, 6.3 & 6.5.

MissAK Weather back to normal fed twice this week, one with one without nutes. 1.5mL A&B, 2mL buddy & 2mL PK13. pH 6.6 & 6.2, ppm 667 & 346, run off after just water 773. Lower buds starting to sag a little due to weight.

MissAK I was away so they went 2 days without longer without anything this week. Seemed to have coped ok with it tho. Fed 1 nutes 1 water, pH 6.0 & 6.3, ppm 320 & 651, run off with nutes was high 1081 odd but seems ok still.

MissAK Stalled, chopped down now will make butter. Think high temps meant they didn’t take up the nutes so the ppm was too high. One day run off was 600 (my water is 300 of that) 2 days later after just water it would be over 1000, was strange!!. Couldn’t control temps as weather outside was HOT, then normal then HOT!! Fans were running full, tried ice in front of intake but nothing worked. Will invest in a small inside cooler for next time! They did come back and start going again but it was new growth on top of the old so not continuing as it looks weird 😂. Drying now will see how it goes.
