Killer Kush & Sweet Special FV

Part I The girls are now in flower as I flipped the lights to 12/12 on Sunday night after a 6-7 week veg, well that’s if I’ve done my sums right! Already they’ve have had a bit of a spurt on and are filling the net nicely with a nice sweet smell of canna coming from the tent when I open it. Sadly KK #2 is still struggling, but as she’s not taking up any needed space, I’ll keep her in the tent for the time being. I’m still getting a touch of paling, more so on SS #1 and KK #3, I’ve kept them on 2ml grow, but I might up it to 3ml next feed. They’re taking on around 2-2.5 litres every 2-3 days so at the moment, the concoction of feed is still… 2ml per litre Plant Magic Oldtimers Grow 0.25ml per litre Aptus Startbooster 0.5ml per litre Plant Magic Bio-Silicon 1ml per litre Plant Magic Catalyst 1ml per litre Shogun CalMag Temps however are still a battle, lights on they’re OK at 24-26C but lights off yesterday it dropped to an all-time low of 15C, not good :mellow: I’m just waiting for a new tube heater to arrive, but I think the main problem is any heat is going straight out of the extraction so it’s not having time to build up. Maybe a decent fan speed controller should be added to my never ending grow room shopping list as I do have a cheapo Variispeed, but its crap as it only works intermittently and makes the extraction fan hum like crazy. Part II Well I knew I was due another fuck up and that’s what happened last night. I was tiding up around my grow tent, lost my balance, fell into the side of it and next thing BANG! Yup, you guessed it, the clip on fan had fallen off and come crashing down into SS #2. Fortunately it only damaged two side branches; one suffered an accidental supercrop, which I think will be OK, but the other branch very nearly snapped completely off at the bottom, so I’ve supported it to the main stem and only time will tell if it recovers. What an idiot I am and totally my fault as I was probably a bit too stoned to be fucking about after smoking my fill of some Stardawg I grabbed in the afternoon Anyway, it’s not all bad as those who’ve been following this diary know I’ve been struggling with temps, but with the addition of a bigger tube heater (120w) and a small oil radiator (650w), I seem to have got them under control… Lights On: 25-27C / 43-45% RH Lights Off: 19-20C / 50-55% RH Both heaters have thermostats, which are set to around half, so I know I’ve got a bit of wiggle room when we get the next cold snap. As for the plants, they’re now well into the stretch phase with flowering sites starting to develop but I’m still getting a little bit of paling, mainly SS #1 and KK #3. I did up the grow nutes to 3ml per litre for one feed, but I think with the low temps, I’ve been getting a touch of lock out so last feed I knocked it back down to 2ml per litre. KK #3 I’m sad to say is still struggling, some of the leaves are looking very green, so last night, I didn’t give her any grow, just supplements, so we’ll see if she responds. I’ve also knocked down the Startbooster to every other feed, and the last of the Catalyst was used last night. I was in two minds whether to buy another bottle, but as I’d only use it for the next couple of feeds, I’m going to hold off as less is more right? Each plant is getting 2-2.5 litres every two days and the concoction of feed is now: 3ml then 2ml per litre Plant Magic Oldtimers Grow (except KK #2) 0.25ml per litre Aptus Startbooster (every other feed) 0.5ml per litre Plant Magic Bio-Silicon 0.5ml per litre Plant Magic Catalyst 1ml per litre Shogun CalMag
