Chimera/GarlicCake/GpaStash

nerdz Day 1 to 7 Tuesday I went only 250-300ppm of VeloKelp only for the first few days then switched to the full veg schedule. There are four strains in here but the Superhero won't be making it.

nerdz V8 to 15 Tuesday There are four strains in here but the Superhero won't be making it. It looks like it will be Chimera, 2x Garlic Cake and a Grandpas Stash. I will transplant these into their final pots in a couple days before they get too comfortable in there. I want to get them on the APs as soon as possible 300ppm full veg @ 5.8

nerdz 15 to 21 Tuesday Coming along. Starting to pick up the pace. Hopefully on autopots by end of week. 400ppm @ 5.8 25/65rh Lights ~25 lumen

nerdz V22 to 28 Tuesday Autopots and big tent any day now. Good size for the start of w4 but they should be a bit bigger.

nerdz 29 to 35 Tuesday Coming along. On autopots and air. Lights 420w @ 16-18" away Lst and removed big fans. Top left is looking sketchy as hell. What is going on with that one? Lol Day 35 I did a hard training, supercropped to hopefully give them a boost when I flip next week.

nerdz 36 to 42 Tuesday These guys are not looking too great and did not blow up like usual and they look like shit. Calibrated all my stuff again and nothing was so far off that it would have caused this. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. My theory: I had really old and really dry coco that was having trouble getting moist. When I put them on the APs the water was not wicking up into the pots and I know it's a really bad idea but I top fed the crap out of them to try and moisten the coco to help with the wicking. It did seem to help but I then had to leave for 3 days and I was still a bit worried about it so I left the autopots on the full time and they got hella overwatered. Normally I start slowly the first week while they adjust and this time I hoped blasting the air would help but nada. Oh, it didn't help that my rH was way too high, around 65rH, so they also weren't trying to drink much and just sitting in a puddle. I lowered the rH to 60%, I drained the AP trays out and I'm letting them consume what's in the pots (pots are fkn heavy right now). I am hoping it isn't root rot. So I did what everyone here would do, strip them down :) I am hoping that removing all the fans will remove any reserves and will force the plant to use the roots to drink and catch up. Probably delayed a week on the flip, too risky. ~750ppm veg @ 5.8 Lights 450w @ 16-18" 25c/60rH

nerdz F1 to 7 Thursday Aight, I hate these plants. I gave them their first big defol and realized the front left Beleaf is also a mutant so that makes two of them. The front right is doing okay as normal and the back right is growing nice but has yellow leaves. I will say I'm a bit stumped since I'm doing nothing different than all my other 20+ grows. I ruled out calibration so feeds and ph is good, VPD is good and dialed in. Maybe I did some damage when I turned on the APs. I also have a feeling one of the bottles of nutrients I'm using could be getting old. I don't know. I decided to strip and flip them to 12/12. I won't be surprised if I get a herm or two and I also don't want them getting too big. Wish me luck 900ppm @ 5.8. For the first 4 days I will stick to veg nutrients and then move over to 1/4. Lights 420w @ 18" 26/58rh

nerdz 8 to 15 Thursday The Chimera (front left) had a major recovery. Blowing up now. Tent looking good!did some defol.and training around F11

nerdz 15 to 21 Thursday Looking good and very green. I will be giving them a big defoliation one more time at the end of the week, removing any weak bud sites and letting them sail. The back right is looking creepy. Not sure how much it'll produce but I'm intrigued! I don't think any of them hermed which is also nice. I'm curious about the Chimera too. 1000ppm full bloom @ 6.0 25c/56rh Lights ~18-14" @ 100%

nerdz F22 to 28 Thursday I ditched the mutant. It was not producing any pistils after 3 weeks and it was just taking up space for nothing. I stretched out the two big plants as much as I could to fill the tent and they're starting to pop off. Other than that, these plants are looking very content. Pretty insane recovery from before flower. 1000ppm full bloom @ 6.0 25/54rh Lights 100% @ 8-10"

nerdz F29 to 35 Thursday The big week. Plants blew up, had to defol the two back ones again. Were feeding the strongest this week. Reduced the magnifical by 20%. Lights are beaming and the plant life is great. 1200ppm full bloom @ 6.1 25c/54rh Lights 8-10" @ 100%.

nerdz 36 to 42 Thursday We made it through the big week. Plants are happy but I may again have to defol them. They don't appear to be massive producers but frost is pretty intense and shape/colors look cool. I'll say maybe 600g for the 3 plants. Cut out Magnifical, lowered feed strength. 1000ppm @ 6 25c/52rh Lights 100% @ 10-12"
