Final Week of Veg! A.K.A Week 6 Plus 2 Days :P i apologize for lack of pictures this week, extremely busy with work, and have also fallen ill the passed few days :( BUT! expect more pictures with a new camera in the following weeks! Added this week - 2 more Circulation fans for a total of 4. Two lower fans blowing across the bottom, slightly upward and two blowing across the canopy towards the back. Day 36 - i noticed a slight discoloration towards the inner most parts of the leaves, which looked similar to a magnesium deficiency...i doubted that was the case and checked my run off for PPM/PH suspecting it was more of a lockout than a deficiency, and was horrified to find the PH at 6.9 and the PPM at 1300! Day 39 - after letting my soil dry out completely i hit the plants with a 1/2 nutrient semi-flush (as reported in this weeks nutrients) with a PH of 6.1, the runoff was closer to 900 with the PH dropping to 6.5. Day 41 - plants looked extremely happy and healthy, and as i plan to switch to Flowering tomorrow night, i did another flush with a PH of 6.0 and PPM of 80 consisting only of a bit of cal-mag and terpinator. Day 42 End of Week 6 - Supposed to be my final day of Veg, but with my PPM still quite high after 2 flushes, and the plants not quite being the size i had hoped, i decided to push 2 more days and for continuity i have added those 2 days to this weeks diary Day 43 - Final Flush! PH 6.0 PPM 80, run off was 6.25 and ppm was down to ~300. Day 44 - Final Day of Veg, did some Defoliation, cut a few straggler nodes that weren't getting much light, and sorted them out into their final homes amongst the ScrOG :) Next Week! - will be adding my fourth and final light for a total of 4 Viparspectra V600's (240w each for an actual 960w of light) also hoping to purchase that new camera i've been talking about this week :) so stay tuned! And thanks for following :)

Stoked for your results! Any plans for an outdoor in the summer? If so/not what strains are you looking at growing next?

BigMike420commented6 years ago
@bigbudsplz, thank you! :) I don't plan to do any outdoor this year. But, i will be starting my next grow soon, just getting my new Ebb and Flow system assembled and tested. Going to be growing Barney's Farm's "Blue Gelato 41".

Amazing results BigMike420! I found and read your whole journal last night and came back again tonight to read again. This should be up there for an award imo. How are you finding the 4 600w LED's for temperature, energy usage and in general? I've always used 600w MH?HPS lights when growing indoors (Barneys Farm - Blue Cheese & Pineapple Chunk). Followed and Liked, keep up the great work!

BigMike420commented6 years ago
@bigbudsplz, Thank you very much :D So the 4 lights im using run at an actual wattage of 240w each. which leaves me at 960w's Total (side note: i absolutely hate that they market them as 600w "replacements") because from what ive learned, is that they don't give off light in quite the same way and cant really be measured as such. With the LED's they may give off as many lumens as a 600hps directly beneath them, but the fall off can be terrible depending on the type of reflector the LED Light employs (Vipar Reflector series aims them almost straight down) when compared to say a horizontal burning HPS with Double Parabolic (gull) reflector. i accounted for this by instead of going with one big light for the whole room, i spread it out, giving each plant a smaller light of its own. Where as with an HPS system i might've gone for 2 400w HPS or 1 1000w with a large reflector, to achieve (potentially) the same effect. As for the temps, i did struggle a little bit to keep them down near the end. I feel i may have overdone it a bit using the "600's", in retrospect maybe the "450w" lights would have been better suited for a tent this size. ill be introducing a better intake fan and redirecting my exhaust directly outside for my next grow (summer is coming) we'll see how the temps fair then. Thanks again for the positive words and the questions :)

3 quick questions 1.did you use the recommended amount of terpinator? 2.do you really believe that it helps with the smell does it make a difference? 3.and when you added it to the water did you add it with the nutrients in the same container or did you add it separately?
BigMike420
BigMike420commented6 years ago
@ChefGreenThumbGardenofWeedin, 3 quick answers :P 1. i stayed within the recommended amounts written on the bottle, increasing as i went. 2. its hard for me to say personally if it has made a difference because i didn't do a side by side comparison with and without it. that being said my plants smell AMAZING, and even after only handling the plant briefly, the fingertips of my gloves smell fruity, just amazing 3. i add it to the same reservoir as the rest of my nutes, adding it last. i found it lowered PH quite significantly. decent trick when i accidentally get a bit too happy with the PH UP.

How do you like the GP nutes? Looks killer man, well done.
BigMike420
BigMike420commented6 years ago
@Greazy77, Thank you :) Well...as this is my first grow, ive only ever used these nutrients :P but, as far as i can tell, they're great! I just had to work on adjusting the feed from the "suggested" schedule included in the 4-Part Kit, adjusting my feed depending on how often i was watering, and by how much ppm my plants were using. Ialso i realized later on that due to my low humidity levels and possibly too much light, my plants were using more water than normal, which led to them using more nutes, and thus nuteburning. temps/hum/light may have also led to some of the foxtailing that happened later on... ill be switching to an ebb and flow hydroponic system for my next run and we will see how they fair in a recirculating setup! :D

Looks very impressive. Can I ask how big the tent is? helps to understand scale.
BigMike420
BigMike420commented6 years ago
@NomNom, of course, its a 4ft x 4ft x 6.5ft tent, all the equipment im using is outlined in the first week's grow report! :)
