Flagship Photoperiod Grow

Kcnvp Happy with the growth under the 24hr light schedule. I have some autos in their final week or so. Will be changing schedule to 18/6 once the autos are done.

Kcnvp Week 2 veg. Mixed 3 drops of Botanicare cal-mag plus and 10 drops of Flora Nova Grow into 500ml of water. Ph’d the water to 6.5. Based on the general hydroponics feed chart, it should come out to about a medium strength feed. Still happy with the growth under the 24hr schedule.

Kcnvp Day 14. I watered 3 times this week. 2 with nutrients and 1 plain water ph’d to 6.5. I have switched to the normal 18/6 light schedule. They look good and are growing nicely. The temp and humidity are acceptable but could be better. Nothing to do about it while the autos are drying in the 4x4. They are sitting under my mars hydro. Just not inside the 4x4.

Kcnvp Currently Day 21 of Veg. The ladies are still chillin' outside the 4x4 under my Mars Hydro FC-E6500 until my autos are finished drying in a couple of days. On day 18, I topped and defoliated the top pair of fan leaves to expose the nodes underneath. 3 days later I transplanted them into 1 gallon plastic pots. I also raised and increased the light intensity by 10% to match the height of them in their new pots. Light comes out to around 600ppfd via Photone app on iOS. I mixed together FFHF (Fox Farm Happy Frog) potting soil, worm castings, and perlite. My ratio is roughly 85% FFHF, 15% worm castings. I added roughly 1 cup of perlite. Before transplanting I wet the soil/root mass with some of the nutrient solution I mixed together containing only GH FNG (General Hydroponics Flora Nova Grow) at 3.2ml/gal. I then sprinkled Xtreme Gardening Myko Mycorrhizae onto the exposed roots and placed them into the 1 gal pot and covered with more soil. I then watered each plant with roughly 1 - 1.5L of nutrient solution.

Kcnvp The ladies are still recovering from the transplant and topping. Color is a little light in the new growth but should be fine after another week or so. I watered each plant with 1L of nutrient solution at 4ml/gal of (FNG) to each plant. I did some light leaf tucking, along with giving the pots their own saucers.

Kcnvp Forgot to take some pictures. The girls took 6 days to dry back for another feeding. They bounced back nicely from the transplant and topping. Just tucking some leaves for now.

Kcnvp Yesterday (day 32), I watered 500ml each of FNG at 4.5ml/g ph’d to 6.5. As you can see they needed it. Today (Day 33), the girls were ready for more water. Before watering, I amended the topsoil with roughly 1/2C of worm castings each to help the soil microbiology. After, I gave them 1L each of plain water ph’d to 6.5. I then did a heavy defoliation, exposing the undergrowth to more light; allowing it to catch up to the other taller growth. I estimate it’ll be another 7-10 days before transplanting to a larger 3gal pot.
