After being held up in spain for over 2 weeks over the holiday season, the seeds finally arrived today. Everything was prepped up so i just plopped the seeds in and now it's time to wait.
Decided not to bother with any humidity dome since when all fans are turned off inside the tent, the humidity is already high.
First 2 showed up as expected, but the third one had some issues and needed longer, hopefully it wont be a runt.
Lamp running at 100W, roughly 40-45cm away
No changes to anything just yet really, the plants just need time now, they've gotten water for the 2nd time now today, since all three sprouted in the last week... WIll probably start feeding dilluted (1ml/L) BioGrow from the next week on, since i'm running LightMix as my soil.
Light still running at roughly 40-45cm at 100W still.
#Week 2 day 3 - Update: Decided to hoist the lamp roughly 5cm higher than it was before, now at roughly 45-50cm, still 100W
All are growing good, #3 just being slightly slower than the other 2.
Lights still roughly at 45-50cm, 100W.
Right after the first photos in Week 3 were taken, i watered them for this week. Starting from this week, i decided to add extra nutrients already.
Topped them on sunday, and applied very slight LST yesterday (which is not really visible in this weeks pics as the plants are very compact).
I also removed some of the bigger fan leaves, those which i could not easily/safely tuck without them touching the ground, the goal was to simply expose the lower branches to light, as those leaves were gobbling it all up for themselves.
Adjusted the nutrients and set the lamp to 150W (height remains the same as last week).
More photos will come during the week.
Edit - Day 5: Re-did last weekends LST as it was really bad and unstable, plants are getting watered twice a week now as well since they start getting more thirsty now...
Plants have taken to the re-done LST very well, they are slowly starting to grow outwards. Other than upping the nutrients, no changes done from last week.
Flipping in 2 weeks most likely (Week 7 onwards), no other training planned until then, but i'm open to change it on the fly.
All looks good, next monday i flip to flower.
Did some extra LST, and defoliated a bit. On top of that, they will no longer be getting the alg a mic, instead i replaced it with bloom already.
Now starting first week of flower.
Kept adding more LST throughout the week to spread them out more evenly, will let them grow up nowso they can stretch all they want. Soon i'll change the their positions as well in the tent so each plant has more space for itself.
Night time humidity was a problem, but by leaving fans on 24/7, i can keep it under 60% all the time at least (~50% average for 24h)
Going very good, lights are still at the same height as earlier in veg still, but now blasting at full capacity (250W), the plants seem to love it a lot, zero signs of heat/light stress.
Was doing some more LST throughout the week to let more of the lesser branches get more access to light.
Going really good.
The ScrOG:
I've bought a net that is was too large for my tent, so i had to cut it up to span it up as evenly as possible despite the size mismatch. On top of that it is my first time trying to ScrOG so it is kind of messy, but i like the result tbh. Will definitely buy the correct size net and do it better from the next (Notorious THC from HSC) run onwards.
Still looking good, they didnt stretch much really, my training was not really that good, but i am still overall happy with where the plants are now.
Reduced the biogrow intake significantly, will cut it off entirely in maybe 2 weeks or so. The end is slowly in sight now, planning (hoping) to harvest late in April from what it looks like.
Edit:
- OCP #1 is the orange smelling one, pure sweet orange smell off of it.
- OCP #2 smells very sweet as well, but it's very 'creamy' with little orange to it.
- While OCP #3 is full on sweet cream, no note of citrus in it whatsoever.
My day temperature since turing my light up to max during flower are reaching 29-30c | 84.2 - 86f, while the daytime RH is at roughly 40% - 50%.
Is the high temperature something to be concerned about?
pics 1 and 2 are the exact same data as pics 3 and 4, just set to c/f each.
I'd say the RH is dipping low. Regardless of how you approach this, your VPD has quite a range to it (especially upper range).
I would be concerned firstly with where your probes are in your tent, the location matters. Is it getting direct light? Is it under airflow? For example, I don't necessarily care about what is happening to the inch or two surrounding my lights or fans, I am more so interested in the conditions at canopy level.
As far as temp, Bugbee has shown plants LOVING life well above 100F (with the caveat that their root system can mitigate this temperature by means of a robust living soil web). This is, of course, a proof-of-concept/boundary value case for temps, just interesting info to add. Cannabis is incredibly resilient to temperatures, just look at the geography of naturalized cannabis.
While you work on your probe and validating it is dialed in to a good location, I would take an IR temp gun or something similar and check your canopy temps - true foliage temperature at the height of the canopy. This has much more strict boundaries for good cultivation than ambient air temp.
This week comes a day early since i simply had the time for it now, might keep it at sundays till the harvest too.
Looking good, although again, they are very compact, i still hope for a miracle that they will grow a bit but by now i highly doubt it. At least the buds still have a lot of fattening up to do.
For the next grow (HSC - Notorious THC) i will certainly up the lights faster so they grow more during veg, i was simply too cautious with the light when vegging these OCPs, a huge mistake. Another thing for the next grow, i'll for sure be needing more fans to control the temperature way more, it is simply way too hot inside the tent.
@ATLien415, Yeah, the light is simply perfect for my grow tent. Although i'm not sure why, but Growdiaries has it set as 200W, while mine is 250W (same model number/name).
Also, thank you a lot for answering my question, that was really stupid of me as my probe was directly above the light, which meant it was soaking up all ov the LED drivers heat.
I can't say why i did it that way before... Now i have attached it to the trellis and the RH and temp are way better.
Gesund und Glücklich. Da wünsche ich dir Glück mit den Phenos und Happy Growing mate👍. Ich musste leider die O.Creampop, aussortieren.😢 Sie war eine reserve falls andere Seeds nicht gekeimt wären aber ihre zeit kommt noch. 4 Seeds sind noch im Kühlschrank.😉😁
@Stony_German, du musst die unbedingt in das nächste Grow mitnehmen. Die sind echt gut, nehmen das Training wunderbar an, auch wenn mein Training scheiße war;
Wenn süßliche Aromen von Creme oder Orangen so dein Ding sind, dann auf jedem Fall.
Plants are looking good! Hope you get the phenotype that is so pungently orange cream it sticks in your mouth well after a pull on a dry herb vape (mighty), I grew 2 phenotypes and one definitely is more gassy than orange but it's still great. Loved the first phenotype so much I ordered another 5 seed pack where I plan on hunting cloning and growing a bunch of the one I liked.
@DieselWeasel, Thanks! I got a full gradient of orange/cream flavours in just 3 plants seems like. Plant #1 is all orange/citrus, very sweet smelling too; #2 is sweet orange cream, mostly what i've imagined when buying the seeds; #3 is all sweet cream, zero orange/citrus of any kind.
@KurtHighgrade, Thanks! Funny thing, i followed your current Notorious THC grow because it looks fucking sweet and i plan to grow them next. Hope for a smoke report as well💪
