Melt Mode and Blue Skunk

Mywik The Melt Mode seedling and the Blue Skunk clone have been transplanted into the final pots. I dont have pictures from germination and the cloning process. The clone is off of an outdoor plant with a really nice sturdy structure that made me want to run it indoor. Its a bit of a gamble since the mom isnt done yet. Autopots and Airdomes are off currently. Will probably start slowly turning them on end of week 2 and fully running them by the end of week 3 to establish a healthy root system. Will be using RO Water for the first time too. My water is very calcium heavy which was really annoying in the past. Looking forward to not having that problem anymore. Much to learn here. First time coco/perlite, first time autopots indoor (used them outdoors already though). Same with biotabs that i also used outdoor in the past and i really liked them. I hope they perform good on coco. I will start adjusting PH in the reservoir. Until then its RO Water with Calmag. Currently only one of the 150w lights is used at 50% and 30cm distance. Plan is to harvest early december which means a max of 4 weeks of more veg. I also want to take cuts from both before flowering. I will try to post at least one daily update picture throughout the grow. Probably a bit ambitious but we'll see.

Mywik I did a light top dressing with a mild dose of silicium flash and nematodes as a preventative measure with the last top watering at the end of veg week 1. Start of the Week i have setup the autopots and the tent in general and im now using both 150w Lamps. Plants are doing well and i will slowly start turning the autopots on and off to encourage root development. Airdome pump is set up but still turned off. The dehumdifier is off and i will set it up outside the tent when the weather starts getting more humid. Currently its not needed. In the reservoir theres currently RO water with about 3ml/l CalMag and a PH of 5.9-6.0. I use plagron ph min instead of something like biobizz because its more stable. So far everything is going as expected. Mid or end of the week i will consider the first topping. I still have to build the Scrog net for this tent that i hope to get done this week too.

Mywik First two weeks went well so far. Both autopots are fully up and running by now and the plants have acclimated to it. Growth is starting to take off for melt mode while the blue skunk is chilling and cruising. I took off a few fan leaves that werent getting much light anymore or were blocking other nodes and i will start LST this week. My scrog-net progress was a little halted because of some IRL issues. I will probably get to it in the next few days. All i have left to do is to 3d-print the hooks and cut the poles to length and then set it up. Im also building an aerocloner that i want to use once its ready but im still missing a few pieces. I hope i get all that done this week. I also recorded a few timelapses that i have to edit and will upload for the respective weeks once i get to it. Other than that im starting to regret using the cheap coco and i will use other options next time. Have to deal with it now though.^ Day 18: I use a normal scrog-net. I dont have the time to finish the custom one im working on. So anyways. I started tucking!

Mywik Week 4 veg is coming and i didnt have nearly as much time for the grow as i hoped to. Had a fucked up week but im sparing you the details. So i am still tucking once or twice daily to spread them out. Blue Skunk is stalling for some reason while meltmode is growing very vigorous. I still plan to flip at the end of the week and until then its just going to be the same tucking routine. My goal is to have the net filled 70-80% before flipping. Currently we are at about 40-50%. Day 26: So at the start of the week i mentioned that blue skunk was stalling. When i made the setup i filled the water tank with RO water containing 3ml/l biobizz calmag and ph'd to 6.0 because i read that not phing your reservoir can cause issues later down the line. Every morning i checked the ph and every morning it drifted up and instead of leaving it be i corrected it every time and that was a big mistake. After visiting my local growshop and talking to the people we identified this as the reason and i switched out the water in the tank and the autopots immediately. This time theres no more biobizz calmag and no more PH testing or adjusting at all. I switched to Canna CalMag agent because it plays better with the autopots. In addition im now mixing 1 part tap water with 2 parts RO water now to make it more stable. This switch happened on day 23 and you can see that both plants look way better now. I will probably add a few days of veg to have them fully recovered before flipping to flower.

Mywik So here we are in week 5 veg. Initially i planned to flip to flower today but we arent there yet. Plants are doing good and blue skunk has really recovered and is growing much faster now. I still want to cover some more space before the flip though so i am waiting a few. The Plan is to flip on day 32 now. Day 30: Finally had some time to properly install the first trellis. For a plan b its not that bad. I will build a custom one for the next grow. Day 32: We have 53 of 66 squares filled which is about 80%. The rest of the trellis should quickly fill with the stretch if we keep tucking for the first few days. When lights turn off today we flip to 12/12. Reservoir is refilled with 2:1 RO and tap water mix with 0.7ml/l CalMag Agent.

Mywik First 12 hour night ended and we are looking good. Im still tucking once a day to occupy the last few remaining squares. its only the ones on the very right that are still vacant. I guess these will get filled eventually within this week. Other than that everything is working as intended. I still need to take a few cuts from melt mode since i already have a rooted and established cut from the blue skunk. I will probably do that very soon on flower day 4 or 5. Flower Day 4: Finally took some cuts from melt mode before they have to reveg after rooting. Other than that everything is going fine. I will probably do a major defoliation at the end of the week. Flower Day 7: I will do a defol today after taking the picture to start flower week 2 with a fresh look 😁

Mywik Welcome to flower week 2. funny that they look the same because i took off two buckets of leaves yesterday. Flower Day 10: Installed the second trellis. This one is only for support later in flower and it marks the cutoff point. everything below it will have to go come flower day 21.
