I think some humic granual acid for nutrient uptake. Can’t remember
Also spread out red wiggler worms “equally” to each pot.
Topped some plants after video. Will update in a few days of response to topping.
Day 34 last day of week 4 veg.
Set the auto water system up.
video update showing the system and each plant.
Runt gelato does not have auto water.
I’ve got 1 to many pots in my veg tent currently.
Day 37 Week 5 update:
Not looking awesome.
Appears I have a root aphids or hopefully just soil mites “arthropods” and maybe thrips.. going to be fighting soil and plant pest.. :/
Update: went to store and grabbed Neem Max by Bonide, Alaskan Fish fertilizer
Got some yellowing so I added 1tbsp alfalfa meal top dressed for nitrogen boost.
Currently brewing a veg tea/ foliar spray.
About 2.5 gallons dechlorinated water
1 tbsp alfalfa meal
1 tbsp kelp meal
1 tbsp super fly insect frass
1 tbsp crab meal.
Half tsp molasses
Half tsp fish emulsion
Will feed/spay tea on day 39 (48 hr brew)
For veg tea.
Will spray plants foliage with NeemMax today (D37) to start fighting thrips or any pest.
Day 38 decided to feed with a bonide mixture. About 3-4 tbsp per 2 gallon split between the veg plants sprayed into soil and roots.
Aswell as a light spray for each plant in the flower tent although those plants seeem to be doing better I have yet to inspect. Wanting to keep areas as separate as possible while dealing with veg tent first.
Day 39 plants drank up the bonide mixture surprisingly overnight and feed the Veg tea about 40 hour brew. Looks prime time to use as well lots of bubbles indicating microbe activity. Also sprayed folliage with the tea and lights off for 15-20 to let leafs dry off first.
Also .. slight issue I’ve been measuring my umol incorrectly.. my measurement reads in lux and Foot Candles..
Basically I was giving my plants about 50-80 Umol instead of 400-600 like I thought.
Same for flower. That being said very impressed with what I have achieved with very minimal light.
Hopefully my plants won’t get stunted from the correct light.
Day 42 week 6
Feed a bonide mixture 2nd time in a week. Pest have gotten worse but trying to manage persistently.
Growth seems to be picking up.
Added a 2nd mars hydro Cree 128 as I got a new flower light.
Trying to get them used to the new lights and a better ppfd range as I was using the wrong measurements for the past year of growing around 75 umol range … surprising yeilds though with knock off lights in those conditions looking back on it.
Next grow will be smooth hopefully lol
Day 47
Top dressed
444 Gia green 2 tbps
Alfalfa meal 1 tbsp
Kelp meal 2 tbsp
Crab meal 2 tbsp
Asomite 1 tsp
Gradual humid acid 1 tsp
Glacier rock dust 1 tsp
1-1.5 tbsp of em bokashi bran
.5 mykos gruanual mycorrhizal fungi
Also sprinkled some langbeinite on I’m thinking there’s potassium deficiency in the soil mixture with this long veg and haven’t feed much potassium. Leafs showing some signs of it.
Added 1 inch mulch layer of rabbit compost/ wood chips and spread some clover seeds underneath.
Finally got my silica in the mail so soaked it all down with 3ml or 3 grams of 1 gallon of water split between each plant sprayed into soil evenly. They are already feed so this way just to get everything started under the new mulch layer.
Will spray bonide on plants to continue with any pest issues leftover.
I’m pretty sure the leaf issues I’ve been having is from the bonide neem follair spraying.
Have not sprayed anymore. No longer having pest issues.
Removed the gelato runt as it was not growing at a good rate. Using the space to take clones for keepers I might have.
Day 60 of veg first run with soil. Next round should be more vigorous growth overall.
Really liking the Pineapple Express pheno 1 compared to the pheno 2 and 3. Much better growth and vigor. Let’s hope she brings that to the flower tent.
2 of the 6 plants in this series got left behind in veg due to lack of space in the flower tent from the auto run. Should be able to harvest those in a few days to bring the last 2 in to flower.
Have had the flu this week and haven’t gave much attention or love to the ladies as I’d like. 5 gallon pots are kinda sucking too. Really wanting to do a 4x4 bed to improve everything and better compost as mine has thrips … don’t trust people on Facebook marketplace… even with there website/ company .. totally screwed my base living soil mixture up.
Went on a ski trip didn’t get to upload last week.
Flipped Pineapple Express Pheno 3 today so it got 77 days of veg compared to all the others that got 60 days of veg.
