Day 43
Day 44
Gorilla really throwing out some frost now, still not much with the Cookies. Continuing with defoliation of any fan leaves in the way.
Finally snapped and decided to get a tank and start mixing a decent amount of solution. The Gorilla was looking sad this morning from being thirsty. She's really starting to drink a lot and I need to start feeding 2-3 times a day if possible. Have been looking at options.
Day 45
Got my 100L Flexitank setup, tried running to spray drippers but it's lacking power. (I snapped a part I needed). I've now got a 4mm wand on a pump and a week's worth of nutes to play with!! I really want to set up auto drain but I don't want to move the scrog and plants too much at this point. I'll make those changes next grow.
Life should be good from here on out!
I've moved my tent in preparation for the new 2x4 Auto tent coming. Can't wait to get it set up. The nute res and watering system are amazing. Having to keep an eye on the res for pH drift, but it's so much easier than mixing nutes by the Gal.
Have issues with sound and humidity is slightly high @ 58-68% even with a humidifier on in the room. I've tried with and without carbon filter. I'm ordering a new small dehumidifier for inside the tent to keep this around 45% hopefully. Ordered some vibration absorption mats for the tents to sit on, and some quieter fans. Plan to box in the exhaust fan and use it for both tents.
Really excited to get some Photos going very soon! Will hopefully get to finish the Cookies in the new tent after chopping the Gorilla.
Watering 3 times per day now.
Once 1 hour after lights on
Once 5 hours after
Once in 8 hours after
Day 46
Getting used to life with a nute res and watering system, it's amazing! She's looking really frosty like someone shook a bag of sugar over her. Still not much with the cookies. Decided to be ruthless with the Cookies and defoliate a lot of the lower branches. I want it to be smaller but taller than the Gorilla. It doesn't have much room after the Gorilla kicked it aside.
Had a big defoliation session of both plants. Almost all leaves I chop from the Gorilla are covered in frost now. I cannot wait.. not too long left! Hopefully, the Cookies gets going soon.
Day 47
Day 48
Forgot a washer on the Flexitank tap! Oh dear, 1 Gal or so all over the carpet...
The vibration mat is insanely good. The small humidifier works really well, able to keep tent humidity at 50-55%, without the big humidifier on. Waiting for 2x4 and new lights.
Day 49
Got my 'Expando' tent expander for the 2x2. Misread the description, which said minimum 1m2 lol. Luckily it fits vertically! Works amazingly, plants looking grateful. Going to get everything properly setup tomorrow ready for the new setup. Gorilla is looking amazzziingg. The Cookies is showing some vertical growth, hopefully, this is the start of the stretch.
Looking good ... Just got done harvesting a AK-49 Auto and a Northern Lights Auto myself, check it out if you can ! I wish you the same success. Good luck with the rest of your grow.
