Going to take a go at the scrog technique with this grow. Sprouting seeds by placing in glass of water over night( they all opened) then in paper towel on the seed sprouted mat set to 26 until ready to plant👍 will update as the week goes on.
Seeds started March 26
Plants were starting to look a bit pale so I gave the a 1/4 feed. One of the plants dried out a but too much on me and I had a hard time getting the peat to take in the water .
Started to notice purple on the main stem so I upped the Cal mag dose. Other than that these girls seem to be coming along quite nice. Time to move the girls over the the veg room!
Ladies are in there new home under the kind k5 1000xl. They are definitely unhappy at the moment. I transplanted and topped the plants at the same time. All the plants developed a drop and started to consume chlorophyll . I may have over done it with the move to New stronger lights, transplant and topping same time.
They look a bit better towards end of week but still not happy
At the start of the week I bent the plants over to even out all the growth. One responded very well and the other two wernt too happy. Not sure if it's my medim( promix hp) or this strain but I'm giving these girls double the calmg as my last run and the purple stem into the leaf veins keeps coming back . Other than that the plants seem to be growing well. Hope this scrog attempt goes good! Made my own out of PVC coated garden fence with 2"×3" holes
Looks like you still have a lot of space to fill in before you would flip. Your issue with the purple leaf stems looks like a phosphorus deficiency combined with yellowing lower leaves which is nitrogen deficiency. From your photos it looks like the main stem has purplish red streaks running up it. A nitrogen deficiency can also cause purplish red leaf stems and streaking in the main stems. I would try increasing your A & B to give her more of what she needs. You definately don't have a Cal/Mag issue and you should drop that back to a normal dose so you don't cause any other issues. Your ph should be a bit lower at 5.6- 5.8. Good luck
Plants are really taking off now. Added a new oscillating fan to the room. This one does a figure 8 pattern , pretty cool. Cleaned up some of the undergrowth . Lots of weaving of the tops! Only one of the plants is really stretching out the other two are staying very tight and bushy making it hard to bend the stems to the next hole. But for the first attempt at this grow method seems to be going ok. No deficiencys noticed up to this point!
Things are moving along well in the room. Few days short of 8 weeks but will be putting into flower today. Because summer is arriving here I am switching up my lights on/off times. I'm going to have lights on 7pm-7am to help with the heat. I do have ability to cool the room but would like to conserve power if possible. I just won't be able to look at the ladies as much👎. I didn't fill the one side of my scrog net because of where I positioned the plants if I try to fill I will end up overgrown on the side with two plants.
Moving light schedule to lights on during night hours is really helping with temperatures! Humidity is the next hurdle. Has been all over the last week. Dropped to 35 one day and up to 67% another. Plants are growing well. One plant is stretching very nicely filling it's part of the scrog. The other two plants look very healthy but are stating very tight and bushy. Kept weaving tops for this first week of flower, now going to let them grow up to the light. Interesting to watch the new growth on these ladies, when they first wake up the centers/newest growth is very light green and by lights out all greened up.
Moved the branches one last time this week then let them start stretching to the light. Broke one branch in half so I taped together and a day later back looking healthy. Will remove tape next week. Got rid of all the small growth below the screen at the end of the week. Starting to see buds forming ! Hope I get some nice colas.
Added bloom nutrients this week. Everything seems to be moving along quite well. All three plants look much different from each other ! Been fighting to keep humidity consistent as it's rain season here and one day could be 30% and later in afternoon up to 90% outdoor. My room has been between 40-60%. still no smell from the ladies
Well things took a turn in the garden. Few weeks ago I was rearranging the shop and I must have hit the timer and was turning on for an hour here and there in the dark cycle. I noticed plants starting to look a bit odd and that led me to the timer. They've since gone back to flower but they look pretty odd. And put me a few weeks behind. Hope I can still get something decent off these plants.
So I messed up my timer and plants went back to veg . I'm on week 9 of flower and they look like they have a ways to go. Since revegging do I start my weeks over again? Or just watch them and listen? Will this event degrade the potency of the bud?
This really sucks and only your plant will be able to really know when she'll want to finish. Keep her on the 12/12 light cycle. Any further stress and she can hermie. Constantly verify to make sure no pollen sacs are developing while you wait for her to continue working on her buds. Keep giving her bloom nutrients this will also help to make the plant focus on the buds and revert back to flowering. Hope this helps.
