Mixed Run

AucoinGrow So far so good.

AucoinGrow OG Kush finally making its debut.

AucoinGrow Lots of growth happening now. Ran into some over watering and PH issues with Sundae Driver. But I corrected quickly and they’re thriving.

AucoinGrow Starting to see some purple or maybe red stems. Not too concerned just yet though, as no other issues are showing. I’m watering sparsely as they need with distilled water, virtually zero ppm/ ph around 6-6.5. On two occasions I’ve tested watering with my tap water with ph adjusted to 6.5. It averages around 220ppm. No noticeable differences observed. I did top Purple Queen and Sundae Driver this week. I’ll likely be defoliating the Royal Queen crop once they look to be well recovered from the topping. Note that this is week 4 for the Royal Queen crop, and week 3 for Fast Bud’s OG Kush

AucoinGrow I decided against defoliating based on some convincing readings. I did top all plants except OG Kush and I’ll be letting each of them grow naturally. I did remove the first 2 inches or so of soil from each pot and replaced it with fresh soil/ nutrients. I did collect some run off after watering today and found that the ph of the run off was incredibly low. I imagine this is creating some nutrient uptake issues, so I’ll be adjusting my ph when watering closer to 6.5-7. I’ll adjust after further observations. We should also see OG Kush begin to pre flower in the next two weeks. As of now I plan to continue the same light schedule. But I may flip to 12/12 once OG is in flower. I’d like to achieve a sort of staggered harvest, as opposed to letting OG go all the way before flipping the lights for its photoperiod tentmates.

AucoinGrow First full week of 12/12. No signs of flower from the Royal Queen photoperiods yet. Fastbud’s OG Kush is looking great, lots of bud sights. Purple Queen #1 seemed to be a bit light stressed. I moved my light as high as it can go and that’s helped. Also had some subtle yellow spots on a few Royal Queen leaves. The plants look healthy otherwise so I trimmed those leaves and we’ll keep pushing. Now would be a good time to mention how easy Fastbud’s OG Kush has been. It’s had exactly the same treatment as the others in the tent but with zero of the issues Sundae Driver and Purple Queen have had.
