RBG Week 4
Veg-day 1
24/09/25
Itβs been a bit of a rollercoaster! Started off strong with perfect, pristine white roots using UC Roots. After a water and nutrient change, I hit some root issues that slowed growth for about a week. Thankfully, Floramax Pythoff plus came out whipping butts, came to the rescue nicely and cleaned everything up beautifully. Growth is bouncing back on all 3 so good to see π
Latest feed (Week 3, Day 6):
π pH: 5.9
π EC: 1.6/1.7 to 2.0
Nutrients:
πΏ Floramax Veg 1
πΏ Floramax Organabud
πΏ Floramax Cal Mag
πΏ Green Planet Plant Guard
πΏ Floramax Pythoff Plus
For now, Iβll keep up with some LST, trimming. Still deciding whether to veg for 1 or 2 more weeks Iβll see how the ladies are looking by next week and go from there
RBG π
RBG Week 6, here we are.... finally after 6 months of repeated losses and lessons, we've finally made it! Secret ingredient that no one told me. Uv sterilizer and pythoff
Overall I think Grape og is doing well. Notice that in early veg she handles stress, topping and lst nicely but further down in veg she had more temperament, showed more nute burn, slow growth from defoil and topping but bounces back rather quickly even after a complete cut down to her bareback of stems.
Light went from 60% to 90% over Week 5 to Week 6, next 2 days she'll be at 100% ready for flowering.
2 set AC infinity bar lights will go in over this week as well as my scrogg net.
Nutrients this round
Floramax veg1
Floramax organabud
Floramax flowering enhancer ( 1/4 ) dose
Flairforms roots
Sleepz with the fishes ( pythoff )
Cyco platinum series silica
Floramax Calmag
E.c 2.2
Ph 5.9-6
Will continue to keep doing lst and defoilation. I like to keep my lst on for my whole grow due to the way I LST, this will be the first time using a scrogg net to help with spread management, if I feel confident and comfortable ill remove lst in later flower if scrogg net will hold in place other the lady will curl in on herself

Nutrient change
Floramax veg 1: 1L
Floramax flowering enhancer: 400ml
Floramax organabud:400ml
Floramax rezin: 100ml ( around 1/4 dose)
Floramax cal mag: 100ml
Gp3 pro cal: 100ml ( unfortunately ran out and won't have any until next week )
Gp3 massive bloom: 100ml
Cyco platinum series silica: 200ml
Sleeps with the fishez: 400ml ( half dose system shock testing to see of this minimises/prevents problems per nutrients change like i was having )
Ph 5.9-6 - EC 2.2-2.3 ( Floramax wants e.c of 2.4, so I'm doing .1-.2 under for now to see how she responds
No lst changes or defoil today, just let her heal and recover.
I thought I should add, with the way I lst, I like to get as much defoilation out the way before flipping to flower that way all she does in flower is just get fat and lovely. Seemed to work well coming from only doing Autoflowers so just using that knowledge and implementing to my photo grows and tweaking it

Finally feeling good again!
Kept the same nutrient mix almost the same, have had to use some others just to get by until more rock up π
Floramax Veg 1: 1000ml
Floramax Rezin: 400ml
Floramax Organabud: 400ml
Floramax Flowering Enhancer: 400ml
Cyclo Platinum Silica: 200ml
ISN Cal-Mag: 400ml (still waiting on my main one to be delivered, so using whatβs left of this)
Green Planet Massive Bloom: 200ml
Green Planet Bud Booster: 4 scoops (30ml each)
Sleeps with the Fishez: 100ml β used some hydrogen peroxide today while waiting for the next batch to arrive next week
Iβve been looking into a flushing additive called New Millennium Winter Frost for a nice clean finish.
Pistils finally popped up yesterday on a few of the top sites! Should start seeing some solid stretch from Grape og soon, guessing around 30 to 40cm at least.
Iβm letting her do her thing and reach up into the net for now. If she starts getting crowded before the end of week 3, Iβll kick off some early defoliation.
Also got two AC Infinity IonBeam S11 lights set up sitting about level with the top colas. Iβm aiming the light to hit the middle and lower sections instead of blasting the tops directly, trying to get that nice even coverage.
Still debating whether I even need to scrog this run, but a few people keep telling me to give it a go to see the difference, I guess only one way to tell π

Blockage within systems finally fixed after 4 flushes. Not exactly sure what it was but whatever ive done has fixed it for now π€·ββοΈπ take it as a win for now i guess

Unfortunately I hate scrogg so took it off but once I had spread her out again with lst, I noticed that shes struggling with lower growth. I saw this with my autoflowers. I'm not too sure if its from too many budspots,colas or if it's just from being overpacked. So her pisitils showed up on the 25th, some people count from that date as flower and some count as soon as you flip, I've decided to go of the 25th as first pisitils so its only 3 n a half weeks currently.
I decided to take a few branches and a few of the lower budspots to try and help her even herself on where shes taking her sugars and growth.
No Defoilation, just 10 or so budspots n only 3 branches. I DONT NOT RECOMMEND doing any of this, I'm only reattempting this because it worked on autos I had going. I do think I've made the right choice
Grape og is meant to be a pretty hearty and forgiving strain, so she should bounce back pretty quickly
Oh well. I'll definitely be rerunning her again later in future but trying a different method

Flower day 5
( pisitils showed 25th of October, i am timing from pisitils showed but diary runs from 12/12 light flip )
Nutrients change in next couple days so that part will be updated
Grape by far over the 3 can take a beating. Unfortunately she encountered root rot more then once, start showing deficiencies early, I should have laid of the defoilation a little bit more due to her problems but she is a very bushy plant that wants to stay together. I did top her like 8 times for the because she was handling it pretty well like the Cherry Bellini but she lost a fair bit of growth due to her root problems
I think over all ive done well on the grape and cannot complain with her growth nor what she'll yield and produce as a first attempt but i now know where she'll struggle and what to do with her so when i run her again it should be 10x more but i still I cant wait to see, my expectations might deceive me
I threw away the scrogg, I don't like it. I think it hindered my progress, I should have kept on with lst, letting bit by bit up until I felt confident she was spread out evenly.
So I took the scrogg of to be able to spread the grape out more and open her up
But at least I attempted scrogg again though but I won't be attempting it for awhile now as I'll focus honing in on the LST side of things and building upon that.
Remember losses are only lessons. She's taught me a lot
Let the games begin π
