Germination
1mo ago
DoobieDoobieDan 100% success rate this time, I definitely find that both Mephisto and Speedrun both germinate better directly in the soil than using the standard paper towel method. I am gonna try a few different things this run, Im gonna fertilize more frequently, give more water and also water once a month with a Myco booster. I should be able to get better yield. I am gonna keep my lights at the top of my tent and gradually increase the intensity. I might add a 3rd 200w light that I normally use for other stuff because its free atm. But I think for it to help I would need to supplement the C02. The extra nitrogen at the beginning should allow for enough growth to actually fill the canopy better. I was exceptionally happy with the quality and consistency of the last grow, now I can try to up the yields without losing the quality. I found keeping the lights high helps promote the upward growth im looking for. I have the height, why would I want restricted airflow by not trying to take advantage of that? I will probably do more lower defoliation this run, along with low stress training. As far as watering, ive setup trays under my fabric pots so I can water once a day still, I will stay with 1l at base of plant but im gonna add .5l to the tray for it to wick upward. We are going into fall so I won't have a problem controlling temps and humidity. I will try and update every Saturday like normal. Please feel free to ask questions, make suggestions ect.

DoobieDoobieDan Everything is doing ok, Jehovas Witness is a little stunted compared to the rest, so I put the humidity dome back on in hopes of stabilizing the temps and moved it away from the tent air intake incase I forget to close at night since temps in the room around the tent are in the low 60's at night.

DoobieDoobieDan Did a little low stress training on the mango smile , because it's a bit leggy, i also upped my light intensity a little as well. Jehovas Witness is lagging behind a slightly. I think there was a small ph issue so I switched to distilled water for a bit. Otherwise they are doing good

DoobieDoobieDan Top dressed 1/8th cup per plant early and am planning on following the recommended dose on their schedule as I felt they needed a little more Nitrogen a little earlier last grow. Otherwise they are doing well. Jehovas Witness isn't doing as well as last time, seems to be stunted, I just started switching water from distilled back to the well Water and lowering the PH over multiple days to see if it helps stabilize it a little more. No matter what my PH is lowered to it always comes up to 7.5 when exposed to the salty ocean air here, letting it sit in an open 5 gallon bucket and lowering the PH to 6.0 every time it gets over 7.0 over the course of a few days has helped, its taking longer to go back up each time.

DoobieDoobieDan Haze Beast is killing it compared to the others but they are starting to settle in and take off. Jehovas Witness is still lagging behind but its starting to grow better. I think I might have over watered a bit, but it looks like I have it under control now. Pulled the humidifier and am letting the evaporation from the soil keep the humidity where I want it. Gave the full scheduled dose of worm castings. Will be top dressing bone meal sometime this week.

DoobieDoobieDan Has been a good week for growth, the Jehovas Witness and Citrus Bubblegum are a little behind but the Haze Beast and Mango Smile cross are doing phenomenal probably could have filled the tent with just those 2 in larger pots. Just plugging along, LST as needed, will do a light defoliation later this week, haven't decided how much I will take off yet, just waiting for a little more stretch.

Forgot to add that I added soil to take up the stretch from the lights being set at the top of the tent. All pots got about 3" of soil. I used a potting soil with no nutrients right around the plant to avoid any nutrient burn. Filled the rest with standard Coast of Maine Stonnington Blend

Haze Beast was the first to come up through the soil by a few hrs thats why its open more than the others.
