Soooo the first grow of the new year :D
Super excited to see how these girls turn out, got some good genetics, from what I’ve heard and researched, with FastBuds.
Got a Gorilla Glue, Californian Snow, Lemon AK and cream cookies going :)
Built a DIY grow tent with some wood, panda film and good old duct tape :)
Got a cool blue 150W CFL plus a 300W WattShine LED going in there with a total of 450Watss (hope it would be suffice). Will change to warm yellow when flowering starts and a combination of both during pre flowers I rate.
Watering was just plain water for the first week. PH tested at 7.3 (still to test PPM)
Been watering 1L every 3 days, the cream cookies is just cruising really low with slow growth but hopefully she’ll pick up :) Not much to comment on this week soooo...
Untill next week:)
Can anyone give me some knowdledge on GuanaFlo and how concentrated is should be used ? And frequency?
Also any thoughts on the wattage of lights I’m running in the tent and the distance would really be helpful thanks :)
So the lighting you have you don't wanna go based off wattage equivalencies. You wanna go off what they draw from the wall. 150w cfls usually draw about 42w and I looked up that led and see no info on the actual wattage which is a red flag that it's not a very good led sadly. Looking at the answers to the questions people asked it seems like that light probably outputs 80-100w or so. The CFL you should have 4-6 inches from the plant and the led I would start at 20 inches and lower it until you see the plant get stressed by it and then back it off a bit. How big is your grow space? You'll likely want more light later on in veg and definitely in flower unless your grow space is really small(2 square feet or so). Just an FYI you should ph your water down to 6.5 give or take a couple tenths of a point. that may be why your growth seems a bit slow though its not crazy slow.
Week has been going well all in all :)
Started with some nutrients this week (had only one water) each water was with only 1L water.
Gorilla Glue fed day 11: Bio-grow 1ml/1l
Lemon-AK fed day 11: FishMix 1ml/1L
Californian Snow fed day 12: FishMix 1ml/L
Cream Cookies fed day 12: Bio-grow 1ml/L
The Lemon AK was looking a bit yellow on the inside of the leaves from early on we’ll see how she does.
Also the Cream cookies was slightly behind the gorilla glue and the Cali-snow, they gonna be monsters
Untill next week :)
Aaaalso popped two little white widow XTRm seeds from bulldog seeds, but they will be going outside 😎🔥
Sorry for some of the poor photos my camera was a bit dirty I think 🙈 using the best camera on the market right now but you need to get an iPhone 7 to use it ;)
Week 3:
So soon though....
been a good week for most of my babies but the Lemon AK has been a bit weird. She has a lot of discolouration on her leaves. Almost 3D like leaves I think it might’ve been Mg deficiency? ( not too sure will do more extensive research into the problem though)
I did however flush her on the last day of week 3 (Day 21) with 6L of water, she dropped for 1hour then popped right back up again.
Day 21 I changed my watering two 2L ever water, watered all the plants on day 21 so that I can have a more consistent single watering day for all of them as I was just feeling my soil for the first 3 weeks.
Will be changing my lights schedule from 24h to 22h from Day 22 :)
Watering schedule for the week:
Day17: GorillaGlue just water 1L
Day17: Lemon Ak just water 1L
(Started seeing burning on the two so fed only water after the first nutrient feeding)
FEB21 -Day 21: Cream cookies fed 500ml of 1ml/L bio grow solution with 1.5L water (had some signs of burning during week 2 and 3. (Minor)
FEB21 -Day 21: Cali-Snow fed 1L of 1ml/L of fish mix solution with 1L water (looking awesome with very slight signs of discoloration from nutes)
FEB21 -Day 21: Lemon AK, did a full flush leaves were giving 3D texture and looking weird, flushed with 6L of water. Is not looking healthy at all.....
FEB21 -Day 21: Gorilla Glue fed 1L of 0.5ml/L biogrow solution with 1L water, gave water in between feeding after seeing some burning early week 2.
All in all 2 of them had a little bit of burning, don’t think it wasn’t the nutes effecting the Lemon AK though, Cali Snow is performing the best though excited for her !
My soil was taking long to dry up so I’ve started loosening the soil by poking holes in it with a thin stick and it’s been working well :)
