Elev8 Frosty nanas & Apple Candie

CaptainCannabinoid1 Week 2. First grow with SF G3000 and these girls are growing fast! First grow with Elev8 genetics 100% germination rate. Frosty Bananas (left) Apple Candie (right). This is my First diary and will be adding more details as I go. Tent is actually 39x39 but that wasnt an option. I like that is a bit smaller than the 4x4 I was using, only down side is only 1 door. Soil, is a custom blend in 5 gal fabric pots. 60% Coast of Maine stonington, 20% earth worm castings, 15% perlite, 5% coast of maine organic plant food. Why? IDk, just mixed it up. Light, I talk about in later posts but one thing I would change is to have a light meter sooner. Being able to give the right ppfd for what stage the plant is in is huge. I had a little light burn around week 6 that could have been avoided. For future and finishing this grow I'll be running around 300 ppfd early veg, 400ish in late veg and 600 - 800 in flower. Stay tuned and feel free to ask questions or call me out on my ignorance 😆. Ive had many indoor grows but this is only my second after a 5 year break. Trying all sorts of new things and genetics.

CaptainCannabinoid1 Important note. If you don't have a light meter to read your ppfd, get one or download an app. I have photon app and seems to work well. I didnt at this point and only finally started testing at week 1 of flower.

CaptainCannabinoid1 Topped or Fim at 4 weeks

CaptainCannabinoid1 Little defol and leaf tucking

CaptainCannabinoid1 Still without the light meter at this point and had a little burn on leaves. Dialed it back and recovered quick.

CaptainCannabinoid1 More LST and defol

CaptainCannabinoid1 Last week of veg. First nutrients added, Coast of Maine Buds & Bloom 1/4 cup top dress.

CaptainCannabinoid1 2nd week of flower. Stripped or lollipoped ish.. I finally downloaded the Photon app and not sure why I waited this long. Currently at 600-670 ppfd. Got a little more stretch on the Apple Candie than I wanted and think I can avoid that next time measuring my par. Already seeing some trikes. Loving this G3000 light.
