JVK Weedgrow

JVKdopegrow RQS Sweet Skunk grow from seed (paper towel 48 hours). Tap root planted in generic (MUFGA) Hydroponic growing system (w dome). Cotyledon showed within additional 48 hours. 1st serrated leaves within 2 days (light at 8"), second set of serrated leaves within 4 days (light within 6"). Transplanted from hydroponic system to Coco/Soil mix on day 11. Watered when planted (250ml RO water). Photo 3 days later after transplant.

JVKdopegrow Added 4 more ladies to the tent (all autoflower/1 RQS Sweet Skunk and 3 Royal Creamatic). Added 1tsp/gal Cal-Mag 2 tsp/gal Fox Farm Grow big/ 1 Gal in total for all 5 plants. They all received 250ml water 3 days later, and seem to be doing well. As this is my 1st grow I am being careful to not go overboard with water and nutrients. I am tempted to LST on a plant or two but I think they need at least another week. Added 2nd Beelux LED light for better coverage, as this particular light seems weak once it is 12+ inches away from plants.

JVKdopegrow Solid growth for all the ladies. Small attempt at LST on a couple of plants. Minor concern of elevated Ph causing lockout (yellowing of lower leaves) will give all low dose nutrients in next watering.

JVKdopegrow Solid growth/some Light LST/ Ph way too high (soil) I may have overwatered to try to leach it out.

JVKdopegrow Solid growth for all plants this week. Initially the RQS Sweet Skunk seemed to take off, but the RQS Royal Creamatic plants have taken charge with leaf & node growth. Tried some LST with a little success, I was reluctant to fully bend the stems and just opened up the main stem to some additional light. I determined my crappy Ph meter was junk, purchased a new digital one and have the opposite problem I had last week. Small minor adjustments are the plan. There is flowering on the main stem of 3 plants. Dealing with a fungus gnat issue, but overall a good week!

JVKdopegrow Very busy week! Very good growth for all the ladies, and flowering on multiple nodes on 4/5 plants. Had a "overheat" issue which led to some leaf mold. I quickly defoliated all leaves showing spots (needed some trimming anyways) and all seems good. I also may have finally defeated the fungus gnats (sticky's and mosquito bit tea). Ph levels are also back in line. I have complete most of the LST that I can (Autoflower plants) as they move to stretch, keeping the canopy at approximately the same level. I decided to let the plants dry out this week, and will start nutes for flowering next watering.

JVKdopegrow Excellent week for the plants. Rookie attempt on LST paying benefits as multiple nodes in flower on all the ladies (with one exception). I have been slowly defoliating lower fan leaves and very bottom nodes. Still a struggle with Ph issues, but at this point that will be a solvable issue for next grow. One plant refuses to bloom, and as they are all autoflowers germinated within a week of each other I am not sure what to do.

JVKdopegrow Exciting week for this 1st time grower! Tent is getting crowded. Buds filling out on 3 RQS Royal Creamatic Auto. Multiple flowers on RQS Sweet Skunk Auto, which responded very well to LST. Smaller RQS Sweet Skunk moved outdoor for flush (after stalling for 2 weeks) and is showing new growth. Overnight Rh issue solved by venting outside with constant running filter/fan.
