Day 92 - Humidity is a bit high in the entire house today, translating to a humidity during lights out that peaked at 70%. Going to have to watch it, but I am not going to panic or overly worry about a day or two when I have good airflow, and an exhaust fan. Day 93 - Temps are warming up a bit. Time to consider turning on the air conditioner. Day 94 - Noticed a touch of nute burn when looking at the lights off photos specifically, and the 'darkness' of the leaves, leading me to think there may be a bit extra nitrogen. Today was feed day, and the feeding chart calls for 2 tsp Bloom 1 tsp Mag Pro for week 6 of flower. Instead of 2tsp of bloom, I gave 1 1/2 tsp. I also gave close to 1 1/2 gallons of water, leading to a bit more runoff, hoping to help run anything sitting out of the pot. It's a joy to look at the plant now, and see the flowers, that are actually resembling buds now, as in they are filling out and starting to get some size to them. We are only at about 5" of stretch through the net, but if most of those buds fill out, I will be happy. Day 95 - Temp is showing a relatively steady 79° on the thermo with the AC on 69° degrees. Definitely within the reasonable range. I almost hate taking the daily pictures now as there is little difference, mostly seen when I go to individual flower photos, but it gives me a base for each day. It was definitely more beneficial in the earlier part of the grow cycle. Day 96 - Moving along. AC was on most of the night last night while lights were on, off and on during the day (lights off), and then back on, right after lights on. That change has kept the the temp in the tent below 80° and most fluctuating between 77-79 the couple times I have looked since lights on. Day 97 - Fed today, 1 1/2 tsp Bloom, 1 tsp Mag Pro, per 1 gallon of water, with ~170oz of water given (almost a gallon and a half). It is getting close to almost needing fed every other day, instead of every third day as she is drying out the pot a bit more, though she has rarely, if ever, gotten to a droopy dry yet. By the time next feeding will be here, we will be on week 7 of flower, and be dropping back to 1 tsp of Bloom and 1/2 tsp of Mag Pro per gallon of water. Day 98 - Nothing really to note today. You will see in the subsequent flower photos, some browning at the tips, likely a bit of nute burn as I was just giving the feeding chart for flower from Dyna-Gro, and it seemed to happen in the last week or 10 days or so. This last feed was at 3/4 strength on the bloom and full strength on the mag pro. I intend to probably do similar for next weeks feedings.

Grow Questions

buddha61started grow question 6 years ago
If anyone actually looks at the temp/humidity monitor in my photos, you will see it goes from 40%s during lights on, to mid 50%s during lights off. Do I need to invest in a dehumidifier sooner rather than later, or will mid 50s during lights off not pose huge mold risks in flower

Hey Buddha61! Looking great👍 The humidity is not to bad at all. As long as you dont get above 55% you should be fine you have a nice trained plant so as long as it is getting enough airflow you should be fine. Airflow is important because you can get "spots" that are more humid than others if it's lets say an area of the ten the fan does not get to or something blocks the wind from the fan. and it also helps if there is any spores trying to land on the plants if will blow them away! haha But as long as it stays below 55%RH you should be fine now if you do notice it creeping up higher than that then i would definitely look into a dehumidifier. Plus there are some other benefits of a dehumidifier. You are able to mimic the natural environment outside and lower the RH as flower starts. and it helps bring out more flavor trichome/resin production with the more "dry" conditions later in flower👌. If you do invest in one what i do is start at 50-55%RH for the first 2 weeks of flower then drop it to 40-45% for the 3rd an 4th week. and after the 4th Drop it to 30-35% and have been getting fantastic results since starting to do it Hope this helps! Happy Growing😎

@DrGreenThumb95, Thanks. Looking back, there are 3 areas which I wish I had done better. I wish I had did a better job pruning/defoliating under the screen, I wish I had filled the screen out more, and now knowing that it didn't stretch much, I wish I had let it grow through the net a week or so before flipping. It was still a good result, but I feel it could have been better (don't we all).

@Puffer_Bill, Most definitely. Going to be a lot of trimming, but I am going to do it all dry. I feel it will make the number of flowers I have to trim easier to do.

@TheBudWhisperer, I did upload one bad trich shot from my DIY lens. Hopefully the loupe gives a better look tonight after the lights come on.
TheBudWhisperer
TheBudWhisperer
@buddha61, meh - don’t think it’ll make a huge difference one way or the other. Even if ur still 2-3 weeks out you’re so close to the finish that I wouldn’t worry about it causing a serious problem. The loupe will tell you a lot more so good that’s it showing up soon👍
buddha61
buddha61
@TheBudWhisperer, Told ya it feels like a few more weeks yet :) I do have a loupe on the way from Amazon (here tomorrow), so hopefully I will be able to get semi clear trich shots. Yea, the nute burn was noticed a couple weeks ago, and I cut back on the bloom a bit. The Mag Pro doesn't have calcium, but the bloom formula has 2% calcium, apparently. Wonder if I should go back to close to full strength on the bloom and cut the Mag Pro back. Now that you mention it, it does seem that the discoloration has started since I lowered the strength of the bloom.

@SommerVirelli, Thanks. I attribute a lot of it to reading/gaining information from the internet. It doesn't hurt that as a kid my family usually had gardens (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc) and I would help grow that each year. I of course had some veg growing pains, but have got her looking much better in flower.

Filled corners or not that’s an excellent scrog dude. Canopies so nice and even too. Think you’ll be impressed with the yield dude👊. Very nice👌

@TheBudWhisperer,Agree. Next grow I think I am going to go with manifolding. I got a few more weeks to see how I like the yield :)

@buddha61, hear that - biggest knock with scrog is that the veg. Time takes what it takes to fill up the net. That said - totally worth it!👍😎
buddha61
buddha61
@TheBudWhisperer,Thanks. I realized after I decided that I was going to scrog that it was going to take too long for one plant to fill the entire screen, so I just tried for even and as big as I could in the time I vegged.

looks awesome!
buddha61

@JohnnyBlaz3, the inside/usable area is 27"x30". I obviously didn't fill it completely out, but it was a last second thing to do (and would have taken many more weeks), as I wasn't sure what method I was going to employ, just LST and trying to bush her or trying to scrog. In the end, I wasn't sure if I would want to go back and try a scrog again, so I went ahead and used it. When I look at the canopy shot posted D64, or even when opening the tent, there is some small joy received when seeing a relatively flat canopy level. I am already considering mainlining/manifolding next round.

@buddha61, on my first grow so nothing to compare to but that's about where I noticed some sugar as well. Very exiting time indeed! I'm only a few days ahead of you. what size is your net?
buddha61
buddha61
@JohnnyBlaz3, Thanks. She is really starting to come along now. Lots of beginning flower growth started, and I believe I found a leaf that actually has some trichrome development starting, which I would think 13 days of 12/12 would be a bit early to start, but I won't complain.

hi dude !! It is not forbidden to Harvest first the most mature flowers and after the other wich was underexposed 😌 that's why i grew aloe vera because his juice allows to the plant cuts to quickly heal after this operation in order to reduce stress 👊 but if i have an advice is to buy a chinese cheap scope...mine works very weel for a cheap price and this has changed my life as a grower 🙏

@buddha61, I had to part harvest my Think Big Auto at 11 weeks, 5 zips of the biggest colas. But then I got another 13 zips at 16 weeks. Surprisingly the quality of the smoke was no different, the 16 week buds were just more filled out.
buddha61
buddha61
@Budofpray, If I do go with a scope, it will definitely have to be next grow, as I'm not going to worry too much about it right now, as I can kinda see when looking, just won't be able to add many good trich photos to the journal. I realize a partial/staggered harvest can be done on a plant, but I am pretty sure that my tent is going to function as a drying chamber, so it will be one chop this time.

Beautiful how big is your screen may I ask
buddha61
buddha61
@Crwfz1, It was 27" x 30" on the inside. I had some scrap 30" wood, and that became the frame for the scrog. Thinking about doing it again, but at almost the full size of my tent, about 35" from pole to pole, though it is dubbed a 3x3 tent, so should be 36x36.
