Jack Herer 2nd Grow

DickJones All is looking good. Took the time to research and document light requirements. Going to try to use that info to use my light in a more energy efficient manner. That along with the butt chugging will make this a more interesting grow. I think with it being coco coir I will have to do something about flushing out the salt build up every now and then.

DickJones Added a dehumidifier to bring up VPD. Was not so concerned about the humidity as much as the temperature. With the dehumidifier running temperature increases around 6° F. Thus far I've only ran the 200W light at 45%. No signs of any issues that I see. Very curious to see how things will look in a couple of weeks or so. When I grew these before I had two very noticeable genetic expressions and am excited to see what I get this time. Cannabis plants are very fascinating with the fact they are dioecious and their differing genetic expressions. I'm sure I was running the lights way to hot with my last grow of this strain. The plants were very short and stumpy so I am curious to see how these will turn out with trying to give them a more optimal amount of light.

DickJones Looking good and healthy. Bumped up the light to half power. Runoff was around 200ppm higher than the nutrient solution.

DickJones Looking strong and healthy. The left plant is a different phenotype compared the other two. Boosted the light to 55%. Runoff is looking good. Added a few extra minutes to the nutrient solution timer.

DickJones Steaked down the branches. Light is up to 65%. Removed a few leaves blocking out the lower branches. Looking good.

DickJones Applied LST throuhout the week along with selective leaf removal. Bumped light up to 75%. Runoff was 300ppm lower than nutrient solution. I have been running a weaker nutrient solution because the vpd is at 1.2. No signs of any nutrient issues with the leaves. I am seeing the little hair things on many of the ends of the branches(new growth) which means its flower time! Not sure why my nutrients are not being saved from the previous week. Per gallon: 2.5 ml silica 2.5 ml calmag .25 tsp GH maxi-grow

DickJones Did some more LST and leaf removal where the leaves were getting poor light. Added another light and moved a plant to the back so I could flatten the plants out some more to help maximize the amount of light the plant receives. Transitioned from GH Maxi Gro to GH Maxi Bloom through the week. Runoff is around 300 ppm less than nutrient solution. Leaves are not showing any signs of problems. Silica 2.5ml/g CalMan 2.5 ml/g MaxiBloom .35 tsp/gal TDS 800 to 850 ppm

DickJones More LST and selective leaf removal. Bumped lights up to 90%. Runoff is 250ppm below nutrient. Looking very healthy. Buds are looking good. 2.5 ml/gal calmag 2.5 ml/gal silica 1/2 tsp GH Maxi Bloom

DickJones Flowers are bulking nicely. Removed a few leaves here and there. These are a great option if you are worried about odor. 2.5 ml/ gal calmag 2.5 ml/gal silica 1/2 tsp/gal GH maxi bloom

DickJones Did some selective leaf removal. Seeing a lot of purple on the leaves. Plant3 is a week or two behind in bud development and has a more sativa appearance. I believe this plant will be yielding the most. The other two plants I believe will be ready to harvest in 3 or 4 weeks and are fattening up nicely. Runoff ranged between 850 and 1050 ppm. 2.5ml/gal calmag 2.5ml/gal silica 1/2tsp/gal GH maxi bloom

DickJones Did some selective leaf removal. Two of the plants look near identical except for one of them has a lot of purple in the sugar leaves. The third plant is bit larger with very sativa looking leaves with lots of purple on the edges. Based off my first grow I believe the two near identical plants will be ready to harvest in a couple of weeks. Runoff is around 950 to 1000ppm. Will need to keep an eye on that. Reduced the amount of MaxiBloom. The VPD during flower has been about 1.4 which is on the higher side. This means the plant uptakes more of the nutrient solution and therefore the solution does not need as much nutrients. Ordered some GH KoolBloom powder that I will be using with the MaxiBloom. From what I understand it's best to use it during the final week or two. CalMan 2.5 ml/g MaxiBloom .375 tsp/gal

DickJones Things are looking good. Runoff tds is lowered. Flowers are looking great! 2.5ml/gal Calmag .25 tsp/gal GH Koolbloom(for 2 that look like they will be ready in a week) .375 tsp/gal GH Maxibloom(for the other plant)

DickJones Checked the trichomes on the 2 most mature looking ladies but not much amber. I expect a week at most for chop time. The young lady I'm thinking probably 3 weeks.

DickJones Harvested plants 1 & 2. Both turned out very nice. Plant 3 will definitely have the most weight and looks like it has at least 2 weeks to go.

DickJones Plant 3 is looking good. Removed the long stemmed water leaves. Some leaves are showing signs of death. Possibly ready for chopping in a week. After drying and bucking the results for last weeks harvests are: P1 126g P2 118g Not to bad given the size of the plants.
