Grow Tent #4

backchecker1 I started using a rubbermaid tote to get them going, This way I can mix the solution easier as well as its a smaller amount. The ph bounces quite a bit to start off so easier to balance in one container. Also just about forgot I only have four hydro buckets so the 5th one is in soil, that's a new thing for me.

backchecker1 This week I moved them to the buckets. I forgot to take a photo.

backchecker1 Really seeing some good growth this week. Started to trim the lower fan leaves I'm going to top them some time this week.

backchecker1 Well moving right along. Plants look good did a lot of trimming this week, cut a bunch of the big fan leaves off. Gave them all a twist to expose the new growth. Will be switching to 12 - 12 light next week and send them off to flower.

backchecker1 Well I was going to run them into flower but decided to give them a good trim and topped them. So let them recover for a week then off to flower.

backchecker1 Rolled the light schedule to 12 - 12 and started the flower nutrients. Gave them all a good trim and topped the main stems.

backchecker1 I set the light up to 70% also a little closer to the canopy. I'll put a scrog net on this week try to keep them from stretching too much more. Lots of flowers starting to show.

backchecker1 Starting to see a lot more flowers. Added a scrog net to try and keep the canopy from out growing the tent. I was getting, what I think is nutrient burn, on a few tips so I changed out the solution and backed off the nutrients a little. We'll see where they go.

backchecker1 Week four of flower lots of buds starting to stack up. They are consuming about a liter of solution per day so I have been adding R/O water to top up the buckets between feeding.

backchecker1 Starting week five of flower. I cut back a lot of the bigger fan leaves. I cut back a lot of the fan leaves there was what looks to be nutrient burn or more likely the bouncing PH. It's getting tough I'm adding litres of water a week so I haven't swapped out the solution completely.

backchecker1 Starting week six of flower. I didn't swap out much of the solution, plants have been using about a litre a day. As a result the ppm is up but I don't think its too high given the stage they are at. buds are starting to stack nice, if all goes well should be a good result.

backchecker1 Starting week seven of flower. I think it might be closer to week six. I started counting as soon as I flipped the light cycle. We are learning.

backchecker1 Buds are stacking nice. getting close to harvest. I checked the trichs still quite a few clear so probably at least another week of feeding.

backchecker1 Well it is likely the last week of feeding. I'll check the trichomes for colour change in the next couple of days. I'm pretty sure they are ready for harvest. Ran out of a couple nutrients also. So it will be straight water from this point on. The buds are really getting fat now.

backchecker1 This should be the last feeding. I have them at week seven or eight. Trichomes are almost all cloudy, we are on the home stretch.

backchecker1 I ran out of Remo nutrients. So I am flushing this week then I'll finish them off with General Hydroponics nutrients. Should be done in a week and a half or so.

backchecker1 Getting close to the end. I flushed them earlier in the week ppm was way to high. I ran out of nutrients so I switched to another brand for that last couple of weeks. Pretty sure I had nutrient lock out going on. So the flush and feed should help get across the finish line.

backchecker1 I'll be back once it is trimmed and dried.
