Orange Sherbet FF

Prof_Weed Unfortunately, I didn't manage to document the first 2 weeks, but we're now starting off strong in week 3! It's exactly 21 days old since germination, and I've already topped it and applied LST. It has a nice structure, everything is even, and I want to keep it that way. It's growing super healthy since I only have 2 plants in the huge tent (CannG compliant hehe), so I think I'll let them grow for 10 weeks before I flip them. Later, I want to scrog them; the net is already installed. I'm trying to get through the grow using only Silicate and DryPart; I "hate" messing around with 5 bottles of nutrients. I prefer powder, it lasts forever and is also more environmentally friendly. Let's see how fast the Fastflowering is; I think it will take a good 8 weeks. PPFD 375, DLI 24.30. Next week, I'll increase it to over 400 PPFD. VPD 0.9. I want to end up with 100, that should be doable. And no, I'm definitely not throwing away 50 since we are a 2-person household... If necessary, I'll make a Quiche Lorraine or feed it to my dog. Or I'll make hash out of it.

Prof_Weed Although it's 1 day too early, we have officially reached week 4. I'm very satisfied with the structure thanks to the early LST; I want it to be a wide plant so that the tent is evenly filled in width and the flowers are at the same height. Since there are only 2 plants in the 80x150 tent... I have a ton of space in the tent. Additionally, I will use the new scrog net, but that's later. I've removed a leaf and a mini shoot here and there and did a foliar feeding twice this week. Dosage: 1x Dutch Pro Leaf Green 1ml/L 1x Bionova Silution 1.5/X-Cel 2.5 / The Missing Link 2.5 ml/Liter as foliar spray. Thanks to the foliar feeding, I have a leaf color that is stunningly beautiful and perfect. What I also really like: this is now my 3rd run in the Autopots and it's getting better every time. This time I activated the Autopot system including the Airdomes earlier. And compared to the previous 2 runs, they are about 1.5 weeks further along. One could definitely say: The plants grow stronger and faster due to the self-watering system, plus it requires less work... In the future, I will personally only water by hand for the first 2.5 - 3 weeks and then activate the Autopot system. EC is now at 1.65, pH at 6.1 in the reservoir (where the actual pH value in the tray is at 6.4). I also added a bit of Oxyplus from Guard n Aid to the water to enrich the oxygen. I increased the VPD to 0.9/1.0 since they are now in the growth phase and will go into bloom in 5 weeks. Until then, I won't change anything about the VPD; the plant should have constant values. The VPD at night is nearly the same as during the day, just a bit lower due to a 3-degree difference, set cooler with the controller/heater. I've gradually increased the PPFD every day and am now at 550 (DLI = 35.64). I turned off the humidifier and instead integrated the dehumidifier into the AC Infinity AI system. I'm getting along well with the ACI AI. I turned off the humidifier because the humidity is high enough due to the rainy season, and the RH was also too high at times. Now that the plant is bigger, a little air exchange won't hurt. I'll let them grow nicely until 11/7 and then switch to bloom after my vacation. There should already be 100g dry at 9 weeks of the vegetative phase. I also couldn't spot any fungus gnats or other pests anywhere. Really good. What's also great: in the previous 2 runs, I always had algae formation at the beginning, which was definitely due to the BudCups from Budtrainer and their materials. This time I skipped them, and there are no algae on the surface. Extremely good when you can always learn something new and improve! Everything is going according to plan. I love it.

Prof_Weed Yes, all good, everything is going as it should! The plant is super healthy and is now drinking a bit more. I raised the EC and trained the plant further, also removed a few leaves. PPFD is around 615, next week I will increase the light intensity a bit more. I will let it grow for about 4 more weeks, making it 9 weeks of the vegetative phase. Since I'm going on vacation from 26.10 for 2 weeks, I will only flip after that to better observe the stretch. Thanks to FastBuds for the seeds!

Prof_Weed Now in the 6th week of vegetation and everything is perfect. Growth, shape, leaf color everything as it should be! No deficiencies or pests to be seen. VPD at 1.0 and PPFD at 680, extremely good how everything is going. The night temperature / humidity is almost like during the day, so they don't stretch either. Here and there removed a few leaves or mini shoots and shaped the structure with the sticks and BudClips. I will let them grow exactly until 11/7, in 10 days it's off for 2 weeks on vacation. But that's the genius of the Autopots, just set everything and let it grow. Just need to fill the reservoir with 40 liters and raise the light a little so they don't burn. I'm very satisfied, let's keep going.. P.s. Apparently, there are cops around sniffing around stupidly, just post what you are allowed to and go encrypted on the net..
