Grown in NarNia 2

NarNia_Grows Hello my fellow green thumbs, welcome to my NarNia's 2nd every grow as we enter and complete Week 1 Veg (day 8 - 14). So this week I've now finished my germination week and my babies are on their way into veg stage. Due to this I've made some adjustments to their environmental parameters they had in germination week (day 1 - 7). Lighting: Went for 18/6 light schedule. Daytime: 17:00 - 11:00 Nighttime: 11:00 - 17:00 PPFD: Day 8 - 9: 350 PAR Day 10 - 12: 400 PAR Day 13 - 14: 450 PAR Feeding: Started with a light feed. For the Veg week 1 I mixed up 3L of nutrient mix. I used Shogun's light feed on the feed calculator via their app. The EC was a little high so I added an additional litre to dilute it so it measure around 1.2 or 1200 (not sure in PPM sorry). I then PH'd the solution to 5.8. the mix come to a PH if 5.7 but this was close enough as I find PH up or down is like rocket fuel and it sometimes a pain to gain or reduce the PH by 0.1. Day 1: 500ml per plant Day 3: 500ml per plant Day 5: 500ml per plant Environmental parameters: VPD: 0.4 - 0.8 kPa In regards to growth both girls are doing really good, they're gaining height but with these beastly first leaves that are sprouting any more wind in my tent and these girls would take off together like a Chinook helicopter, they are getting big. So far so good 👍🏼

NarNia_Grows Veg week 2. - update coming soon. #1 has a defect on one leaf where it is missing the center leaf and #2 has a slight burn from nutrients drop during feeding. Other than that they are looking beautiful and healthy and getting big already. For Veg week 2 (days 15-21) I had the following environmental settings: Light setting: Schedule: 18 hours on 6 hours off Day: 17:00 - 11:00 Night: 11:00 - 17:00 PAR readings Days 15-16: 450 PPFD Days 17-19: 500 PPFD Days 20-21: 550 PPFD Environmental settings: Daytime: Temperature Range: 23'c - 27'c Humidity Range: 60-75% VPD settings: 0.8 - 1.2 kPa Nighttime: Temperature Range: 16'c - 22'c Humidity Range: 60-75% VPD settings: 0.8 - 1.2 kPa Feeding (per plant): Day 15: 1.5 litre Day 17: 1 litre Day 19: 1 litre So end of day 21 and Veg week 2 has arrived. The girls are looking beautiful and healthy although I have accidentally sprinkled some feed in the leaves when feeding and didn't wipe it all off clearly as there are a few burn marks on the one of two leaves. This was me and not the plant or feeding. As for the nutrients and plant, I have still a light feed and the girls have really taken well to the feed so far with no sign of nutrient burn or lock out. LEARNING POINTS: 1) Be careful when watering and dry leaves properly. 2) This is a big one: DO NOT USE VPD SETTING ON AC INFINITY AI+ CONTROLLER. It simply does not work and does not stick to your humidity and temperature preferences, the AI will use the full VPD range to achieve VPD, this means it will use what ever temperature or humidity it wants to achieve a VPD. I set my parameters using a humidity range and temperature Range to achieve the desired VPD. Let's see how Veg week 3 (days 22-28) turn out.

NarNia_Grows Hello green thumbs welcome to Narnia as we complete Veg week 3 (week 4 since sprouted) days 21 - 28. So this week started strong and they have litteraly grown double day by day, truly impressive so far. As for environmental parameters, I've kept them the same as veg week 2 and the PPFD has also remained the same. On day 26 I used LST and leaf tucking. The girls are looking beautiful. I purposely didn't defoliate as I want to cause these girls as little stress as possible. Also the large fan leaves helped prop up all the stems and potential bud sites quite nicely after I used the LST clips. When the girls flip to flower I will defoliate about 30% of the leaves and potentially lollipop the lower 1/3 but will see. When the girls enter flower I will switch on the autopots and the air domes. So far so good. Settings and feeding schedules for Veg week 3 days 21 - 28: Light setting: Schedule: 18 hours on 6 hours off Day: 17:00 - 11:00 Night: 11:00 - 17:00 PAR readings Days 21-28: 550 PPFD Environmental settings: Daytime: Temperature Range: 23'c - 27'c Humidity Range: 60-75% VPD settings: 0.8 - 1.2 kPa Nighttime: Temperature Range: 16'c - 22'c Humidity Range: 60-75% VPD settings: 0.8 - 1.2 kPa Feeding (per plant): Day 22: 1.5 litres Day 24: 1.5 litres Day 27: 2 litres

NarNia_Grows Hi green thumbs, welcome to Narnia Grows. So bit of a weird timing as both girls were still not properly in flower at the start of this week, so effectively they had 22/23 days of veg (just under 3.5 weeks) and they both started to start the flowering stage on day 29/30. Environmental parameters I am keeping the same as Veg week 3. PAR: 650 PPFD So days 29 & 30 I have both girls each 1 litre of water of veg mix which was the same as Veg week 3 + Shogun geisha foliage spray. I gave both girls a trim and defoliated the HUGE fan leaves as they had served their purpose superbly, I'm very pleased I didn't defoliate before this week. I did some LST during Veg week 3 and it is paying off, however I used 2 types of bud clip, one is perfect the small one are terrible to remove so will not use these again. #1 has a slightly taller height and her canopy is not as flat as #2, but I have a feeling that her main colas will be big. #2 has a nice flat even canopy. So far very happy and ready for the transition and growth, Narnia is ready. I have to get the autopots and airdomes on this week, but may sort that out for Sunday which is Flower week 2 but will be the first proper week of flower, including increasing PPFD, turning on my suplimentary side/under canopy lights and change the environmental settings. Light schedule will remain the same this week at 560 -570 PPFD and a 18/6 light schedule. Turned on my 4 spider farmer suplimentary lights on day 35. Turned on air domes each at 1 lpm or Oxygen on day 33, autopots will be turned on for start of Veg week 2 (day 36). The girls are growing beautifully with no signs of nutrient lock out or burn during the change from veg feed to flower feed.

NarNia_Grows Howdy Green thumbs, It's Flowering week 2 (days 36-42 - 5 weeks since sprouted). This week I installed and turned on my autopots. I fitted a new base, levelled it and then placed the white liner on top. I now have two separate water tanks with nutrients mix for each plant. This enables me to raise one if needed. On that note however the canopy is looking nice and even over both girls. Because I have autopots and air domes I mix the nutrient mix to a PH of about 5.4-5.5. I do check and normally that drop from 5.8 is actually gained by the time the nutrients get absorbed. A good check is to check PH or the autopots tray. This time to help with moisture levels I placed both autopots and plants in bin bags. The air domes supply Oxygen and there is a small gap to vent a little. This week I installed SF-IR and SF-UV suplimentary lights to add deep red (15 mins before and after mains light) and then the UV lights (on for 75 mins after 9 hours of main light). Lighting: Duration: 18 hours on 6 hours off Power: 100% Day: 17:00 - 11:00 Night: 11:00 - 17:00 IR Light: 16:45 - 17:00 & 11:00 - 11:15 UV Light: 02:00 - 03:30 PAR readings 750 PPFD Environmental settings: Daytime: Temperature Range: 21'c - 26'c Humidity Range: 40-55% VPD settings: 1.2 - 1.6 kPa Nighttime: Temperature Range: 18'c - 22'c Humidity Range: 40-55% VPD settings: 1.2 - 1.6 kPa I will do minor defoliation and LST this week where and when it's required. I also installed my AC infinity dehumidifier in the tent but honestly this dehumidifier AC INFINITY releases is absolute dog shite, avoid avoid avoid! The girls and looking beautiful this week, very happy so far.
