Humidity - 80
Germinated - 3/13
Planted - 3/14
Sprouted 3/15
All 3 seeds germinated right away and sprouted a day after planting in the rapid rooters. I will be transferring them to solo cups in the beginning of week 2 and starting them on some nutrients.
These ladies will be sharing the tent with some Royal Gorilla plants. This week will be under the T5 light for my germination dome and will transfer them to the tent when they outgrow the dome.
Week 2 - 03/22 - 03/28
Light - 140 W LED(Veg Switch)
Temperature - 74 +/-2
Humidity - 70 +/-5
D9 Veg - Started feeding with nutrients.
D10 Veg - Moved the ladies to the grow tent and turned on the LED light. (140W Veg)
Week 3 - 03/29 - 04/04
Light - 600 W MH & 140 W LED(Veg Switch)
Temperature - 74 +/-2
Humidity - 70 +/-5
D15 Veg - Fed the ladies
D18 Veg - Flushed the plants while they were in the cups in the morning. Transferred the ladies to 5 Gal cloth pots and fed them in the evening. Added some extra light with the addition of a 600 W MH wing reflector.
D21 Veg - Watered with hydroguard only and topped all 3 HB's.
Week 4 - 04/05 - 04/11
Light - 600 W MH & 140 W LED(Veg Switch)
Temperature - 74 +/-2
Humidity - 70 +/-5
D25 Veg - Watered with nutrients, only used 2 gallons of water for 5 plants since I am pretty sure I over watered the pots the last fresh water rinse. Plants are recovering from being topped, I will start to tie the plants down soon.
D27 Veg - LST was done to the plants but had a boo boo on HB #1. When tying the top growth down, one of them snapped off. Guess I need to be a little more gentle.
D28 Veg - Watered with nutrients, bumped up the feeding to 3 gallons of water for the 5 plants.
Week 5 - 04/12 - 04/18
Light - 600 W MH
Temperature - 74 +/-2
Humidity - 60 +/-5
D29 Veg - Turned the LED light off until the plants are bigger. I feel like both lights were a bit much for them at this point. I also lifted the MH light up, the leaves were damaged severely.
D31 Veg - Watered the plants with nutrients and tied them down for some LST.
D32 Veg - Topped the mains again, the nodes are are starting to thicken up and the stems are solid. Took some clones to possibly plant in my air pots.
D34 Veg - Watered the plants with ph'd water and hydroguard. The plants are looking like they are starting to recover from the topping.
Week 6 - 04/19 - 04/25
Light - 140 W LED
Temperature - 74 +/-2
Humidity - 60 +/-5
D36 Veg - Switched back to the LED light, the heat from the HID light was keeping the humidity too low. Now the tent is running smooth.
D37 Veg - Watered the plants with nutes and added some floranectar to the mix.
Week 7 - 04/26 - 05/03
Light - 140 W LED
Temperature - 74 +/-2
Humidity - 60 +/-5
D44 Veg - Watered with nutrients. LST is going great and the plant is really starting to fill out, I will probably send to it flower soon and add the SCROG net.
D49 Veg - Watered with nutrients and defoliated and tied the plant down a little more. Transferred 4 clones into some airpots, this upcoming week will be transition week.
@GrowingisFunkO hi buddy ! sry for my bad English thx 👍 To my humble point of view...you have to ask yourself the question otherwise 😤😊
Why should I choose one or the other ?? dude I'm sure you've already asked yourself the question but as you hesitate, I can try to give you some leads…
what'is the strain ? more indica or sativa ? in this case sativa…normally strech more
where can i find some infos ? here ??? 😜👍
some growers here said that some pheno's was clearly indica and some diaries here clearly indicate sativa traits….
that's a first indication ? but you are needed a bit more
How do you manage your LST and topping method ?? what is the optimal footprint of your light in the tent,, how many plants do u have ?? etc etc etc. 😌
...in fact your question finds his answer according to what you do...buddy ! and the knowledge that u find/know about the strain and his traits...it's the only good way to make a good choice.
to my point of view all the answers you could have had left you in the same hesitation State...I may be all wrong...🙏
by cons what I can tell you of what i see on your pics it seems that you do a good choice… 👍but according to you light i will try to to prioritize your main plant instead of ur clones on the light footprint...question of yield ! 😘
hope it helps you ! 🙏
Week 8 - 05/03 - 05/10
Light - 400 W HPS & 265 W LED
Temperature - 76 +/-2
Humidity - 55 +/-5
D1 Flower - This week will be the transition week for the ladies, each day reducing the light schedule by an hr. It worked pretty well last time so hopefully, this batch follows suit. I will change the MH bulb to an HPS midweek, along with switching on the bloom switch for the LED light. Added the Scrog net and trimmed up the bottom side as well.
D4 Flower - Watered with nutrients and switched to an HPS bulb
D7 Flower - Plants are doing great, nod spacing is nice and stacked. The transition eased the plants into flower, they are down to 12 on 12 off.
Week 9 - 05/10 - 05/16
Light - 400 W HPS & 265 W LED
Temperature - 76 +/-2
Humidity - 55 +/-5
D8 Flower - Watered the plants with nutrients and continue to tuck them under the scrog net. The clones are taking off pretty quick and starting to stretch to catch up.
D11 Flower - Flushed the plants with Florakleen.
D14 Flower - Defoliated all of the big plants and trimmed two of the clones.
Week 10 - 05/17 - 05/23
Light - 400 W HPS & 265 W LED
Temperature - 76 +/-2
Humidity - 50 +/-5
D15 Flower - Watered with nutrients.
D17 Flower - Snapped some pics of the ladies, they are recovering well after their trimming three days ago.
D20 Flower - Headed away for a long weekend before the lights come on so I watered the ladies a day early.
Week 11 - 05/24 - 05/30
Light - 400 W HPS & 265 W LED
Temperature - 76 +/-3
Humidity - 50 +/-5
D25 Flower - Came back from a long weekend away to some nice growth! Watered with nutrients and tucked some of the larger leaves. Took some measurements since the two strains are growing different. I keep turning the light power up and down to adjust for the outside temp, I don't want the tent to get too hot.
D28 Flower - The clones have stretched a little bit more but for the most part, I think they are done stretching. Buds are forming nicely and starting to produce a sweet smell!
HulkBerry SCROG- 16-18 inch
Clones in Airpots - 24-25 inch
Its spring coming into summer and humid in my area. Since my tent is in the garage, my conditions are controlled by outside conditions. Any home remedies for bringing down the humidity besides just buying a bigger humidifier?
Week 12 - 05/31 - 06/06
Light - 400 W HPS & 265 W LED
Temperature - 76 +/-3
Humidity - 50 +/-5
D32 Flower - Fed the ladies. Not much going on but growth. lol
Week 13 - 06/07 - 06/13
Light - 400 W HPS & 265 W LED
Temperature - 76 +/-3
Humidity - 50 +/-5
D40 Flower - Returned home from a 5-day trip and these ladies are growing nicely. Buds are thickening up and the entire tent is sticky. It is still early but I am definitely seeing a difference this grow compared to the last with resin production. Terpinator and FloraNectar are definitely doing their jobs. I also reduced the light schedule down to 11 hours and will reduce again in a week or so. I found some information on lowering the daylight towards the end of flowering to supercharge bud production.
Week 14 - 06/14 - 06/20
Light - 400 W HPS & 265 W LED
Temperature - 76 +/-3
Humidity - 40 +/-5
D43 Flower - Watered the ladies, they are swelling up nicely. While I am happy to stare at these beauties daily, this is definitely the boring part of growing, not much to report besides beautiful bud growth. They have also started to produce a strong scent, to the point where I will smell the entire house up if the garage door is open. Loving the way this grow is turning out.
D46 Flower - Water with nutrients and added some blackstrap molasses to the mix. I took a risk today and tested out some late flower defoliation, I took the large fan leaves off two of the clones and front Hulkberry and Royal Gorilla Scrog. I want to see the difference in growth with late flower defoliation.
D47 Flower - Moved the LED light a little further away, I had noticed some light burn on one of the clones. Decided to build a drying box since I am pretty sure I will have to harvest these strains separately. Added some pics, its a quick build out of some stuff I had laying around the house. Only had to buy a $10 filter that I could cut up and $20 silica gel packs. I am running the exhaust air from the tent into the dry box that will filter through the $10 charcoal filter I cut up and doubled up on the filtration. I'm going to add refreshable silica gel packs in the box to help fight humidity. Hopefully, it works.
I am still a few weeks from harvest but wondering what experience anyone has with 48 hrs of darkness before harvesting. My last grow, I ended it with 24 hrs of darkness but want opinions on whether the extra 24 hrs is worth it.
I have kept usually my last plants in flowering tent that 48h of darkness before cutting down. But now my last harvest I just did my harvest just before lights are suppose to kick in again. And did not really see difference. So no on I'll keep doing like this until proven otherwise! Hope you got something out of this 😉
Happy growing!
Week 15 - 06/21 - 06/27
Light - 200 W HPS & 265 W LED
Day Temperature - 78 F
Night Temperature - 68 F
Humidity - 40 +/-5
D50 Flower - Fed the ladies and raised the HPS and LED lights up and turned the HPS down to 200 W, I am trying to emulate fall by lowering the amount of light.
D53 Flower - Fed the ladies again, I think this may have been the last feeding of nutrients. The next watering I will hopefully start flushing.
D55 Flower - Noticed some of the leaves are starting to fade and turn yellow. Hopefully, that means they are getting close to harvest, I should be cutting them down next week.
D56 Flower - Was on a trip and had to water the ladies with a timer and pump, thankfully everything worked fine. Started flushing with FloraKleen.
Week 16 - 06/28 - 07/04
Light - 200 W HPS & 265 W LED
Day Temperature - 78 F
Night Temperature - 68 F
Humidity - 40 +/-5
D59 Flower - Came home from vacation to some fat sugar coated buds! I flushed them with FloraKleen and molasses, this should be the last one before I snip down the main colas. Since they are close to harvest, I spent about an hour defoliating so harvest will go a little quicker.
D60 Flower - Took the ladies out to breathe, take some pics, and snipped the tops off the Royal Gorilla's. I'm going to allow the Hulkberry's to mature a little longer and probably do the same thing and snip the tops.
D61 Flower - Unfortunately HB #3 hermies on me, she had a bunch of "bananas". So I cut her down and hung her to dry, Sucks to lose her but she will do well in some RSO! Unmanicured wet weight was 251 g. I am also going to be testing out the bowl bud trimmer I just ordered on these buds to make sure they dont damage the buds too much.
