Nutter Budder

Well the seedling tamped off at the stem and died, so I quickly dropped another seed in the soil and she popped in a few days. Hopefully, she makes it this time!

She’s growing great, so far! I believe she will be just fine and won’t wither at this point.

She’s doing great under the LED! She’s going to be just fine!!

She’s doing great and loving the LED! She’s a little slower than her tent mates, but she’s coming along nicely!!

Topped her today. She’s grown a LOT in a week!! Just about time for 1gallon pots!!

Finally got her transplanted into 1 gal fabric pot. I used some Great White rooting powder when I transplanted. She’s looking great!! Almost time for the second topping..

She’s looking great and loving the 1 gal pots!! Looking forward to getting her into 7gal pot in a couple more weeks!!

She is doing absolutely amazing and I’m going to have to transplant to 7 gallon pots in the very near future so I can spread her out and keep it even canopy for the scrog!!

I did some more LST while they wait to be transplanted to 7gal pots this week. She’s looking and smelling great!

She’s doing great!! I’ll probably transplant into 7gal fabric pots in the next week or so. She is responding well to the LST!!

Time to transplant this week and get her into 7gal pots! The tent smells great and she’s looking fantastic!!!

I’m finally going to transplant this week. I’ve got about 4 more weeks before I can get them in the flower tent. She’s doing great so far!!

Well the holidays got in the way and I will def be transplanting to 7 gal pots this week. She’s looking great so far and won’t need too much time before flipping to flower after I harvest the flower tents in a couple of weeks...

Finally got her transplanted and tied down mid week. She’s happy to be in the 7gal pots and responding well! I used 30ml URB to wet the old soil in the 7gal pots before transplanting! I also used Great White rooting powder lightly on the roots.

Well, I discovered part of why my veg cycles have been going much longer than past grows! One of the LED clusters was completely dead! AND the remaining veg cluster had 4 burned out LEDs! One of the blown LEDs caused a black spot to burn into the lens. But good news! I just happened to have replacement veg clusters from a warranty repair back in 2018! I swapped out the clusters and switched one of the covering lenses from the flowering clusters and I’m back in action with essentially a brand new light for veg!!! Update: got her moved in to the flower tent and will let her go a bit more to fill up the screen and then flip to flower. Also got a new exhaust system in place. The old one wasn’t working properly so I upgraded to a 6” system to match the other flower tent. Interesting that the temps match but this tent has 10% higher humidity!!

Big update this week! Got her moved in to the flower tent and installed my new ViparSpectra KS 3000 LEDs! Upon retiring my 7yr old Platinum LEDs, I discovered many burned out LEDs in each cluster. Good thing I got new lights! WAY more efficient and way more even spread across the canopy. I’ve also gone back to using ExHale CO2 bags and I put my CO2 meter to good use and my positioning of circulation fans and bag height gave me reading of 822 in the middle of the canopy! So I lowered the KS3000 today to 17” and I’m getting around 583ppfd in the center. Way better readings than I’ve had before! Looking forward to vegging a couple more weeks and then flipping to flower!!

Last week of veg complete! I had the new lights too close and the temps crept up toward 80 and the leaves were drooping and looking sad. I raised it to 24” and they responded very well and the leaves look much happier! I lowered the light to 15” for flower mode. Manual says 12” with 100% power, but if they didn’t like 80% at 17”, they are probably not going to be happy with the new height of 15”. I’ll monitor this week and see how they do! Longest veg cycle ever lol…

First week of flower complete! The plants are responding favorably to the flower transition. They handled the 100% intensity at 15” well and they grew up to 12” away from the light! The tent temps are definitely warmer with this light, which I believe is from the power supply being in the tent. I’m not sure how I can mount it outside the tent with my current setup, but with the exhale CO2 bags, they seem to be handling the higher temps. I may have to figure out a solution to mount the power supply outside the tent to get the humidity back up and the temp down. I use a SensorPush sensor in each tent and I finally got a G1 gateway to monitor the tents when I’m not home and I recently discovered the sensor tracks VPD. My temps are a little high for optimal VPD, so I may start using my old humidifiers in the tent. 1gal/plant Transition week 1 2/4/25 Urb calmag pH 6.3 TDS 250 67 degrees

2/10/25 1gal/plant Urb cal-mag pH 6.4 TDS 251 66 degrees 2/13/25 1gal/plant Flower week 2 10ml terminator 1.5ml mammothP pH 6.1 TDS 755 65degrees Flower week 2 complete! She’s responding well to the new light! I had to raise the light up a bit to 15”, but they grew right back to within 12” of the light. It’s strange watching the grow with the new lights after 7 years of my old lights. I’m hoping for a bountiful harvest with these beauties! I started tracking VPD with my sensor push sensors and I added my humidifier back into the tent to increase humidity and get the VPD in a better range. Shes looking great!!!
