Master kush cookies kush and do sweet dos are the statins.
Any input would be great this is my first grow inside.
WATERING w/ organic soil and liquid nutrients. QUESTION - when watering with plain water I leave very little runoff to keep organic properties inside but when I use liquid nutes should I water with 30% runoff or keep everything inside the pot like I do when using plain water?
If you are using organic soil or an organic medium (like Coco-Loco) with organic liquid/dry fertilizer- you should be fine with just watering to the point of soaking the entire pot with no run off. But if you are using organic soil with bottled non organic nutes- you can still have a build up of salts that will most likely need to be flushed out at some point. Usually halfway through the grow as they transition into flowering. I have skipped the flush once or twice before and had some serious issues with leftover fertilizer/salts affecting my plants. Something else to keep in mind when using bottled non organic nutes in an organic medium is that often times the nutes kill off the healthy, beneficial micro/macro bacteria that you are trying to foster in your root zone. So really, it’s bottled non organic nutes and whatever medium you choose or it’s all organic nutes with all organic soil. It’s all or nothing with organics as it’s all about protecting the valuable microbial life within the soil/root zone. Hope this helps!
Day 45. Lights 18-6/ par value 700/ Temp is 23-29. RH is 60% / Co2 ppm 500/ PH 6.5/ technaflora nutrients /Organic kryptonite living soil.
6 full weeks today since leaves opened up. Last and final day of vegetation today. Do sweet dos is the plant in the front right corner. Scrog and defoliation were applied 11 days ago.
Day 52. 7 days into flower. 3x3x6 tent. 1200watt led lights. Do sweet dos
Lights 12-12/ RH 50-60%/ Temp 21-28/ PH 6.2/ water ppm 1000 techaflora nutes/ PAR value 850/ Organic soil/ 7 gal smartpots/ scrog 9 inches/ Topped/ defoliated twice one more to go/ stretch 4 inches in 7 days/ plants 18 inches tall.
Also included some pictures that make my life easier in that small space
Day 59 - Day 14 of flower - do sweet dos strain. First indoor grow.
Lights 12-12/ PAR 900/ Day temp 23-27/ Night temp 19-22/ RH45%/ Co2 500ppm/ water Ph 6.5/ water ppm 1400 with technaflora nutes/ organic soil/ 7 gal pots/ 4-5l per 3 days for watering.
Week 2 is done. The scrog was cut out this week because I have to level out my pots this to give myself a very even canopy across my plants, i also will be defoliating heavy this week to expose all the bud sites.
Day 66 day 21 of flower. Front right is do sweet dos.
Lights 12/12/ par 900/ co2 500 ppm/ temp 22-27 night 19-21/ organic soil/ technaflora nute/ water ppm 1400 ph 6.5/ 4L per plant
Week three of flower is done power went out so I kept the light cycle going with a flashlight lol. This strain was described as little potent popcorn nugs and that’s exactly what they look like. Also included a video of my setup! Looks like there gonna be juicy
Day 30 of flower. Do sweet dos strain. Plants in front right. Roughly 30 days left to go in flower.
Lights 1212 par value roughly 1000. I keep lowering my light no signs of light burn yet at 19 inches. Day temp 21-26 night 17-21. Rh% is set to 45-55%. Watering every third day. 4L per plant . No runoff. Every third water I give technaflora nutrients at 1400ppm. Water ph 6.2
Ive learned my plants love a water ph around 6.2. Even slightly altering this to 6.7 you can tell they don’t grow as much. Very excited for the next few weeks as you just sit back and watch them fatten up.
See y’all next week.
Day 79. Day 36 flower. Do sweet dos strain. First grow
Lights 12:12. Par 1000. Day temp 23-27 night 18-22. RH 45%-55%. Water 1400 ppm with technaflora nutrients. PH 6.4. Co2 500ppm. Organic living soil in 7 gal fabric pots.
Going to drop RH to 35% at the end of this week and temp a couple degrees. Give them there last nute feeding to give them good time to flush over then next 2-3 weeks and let that organic dirt take back over the smell and taste. This plant was described as little dense popcorn nugs that can register with 30% thc. It looks exactly as described it’s so nice looking! Super dark leaves. I’ve included my nutrient amounts in this week also take a look!
See you guys next week
Day 85. Day 42 flower. End of week 6 . Do sweet dos. Front right plant. First grow.
Lights 12/12. Par value roughly 750 for final two weeks. Rh% dropped to 40% . Temps 21-23 daytime. 17-19 nighttime. Technaflora nutes, i included amount above. Organic living soil. 7 gal smart pots. Co2 500ppm. Watering 4L every 3 days ph 6.3. 1400 ppm water with nutes. Water water feed schedule.
Gave them there last full dose of nutrients on day 42. Dropped humidity and temp a tiny bit. Moved the lights to slightly less power. I can’t see these girls going past day 56.
Also included some mediocre pictures of trichomes for you guys. Mine are still 50/50 milky/clear. I want them to have a few amber trichomes before I harvest.
I will post week 13-14 and then a harvest week so it looks like this grows coming to end ! Hope you’ve enjoyed it so far and learned some things. I know I did on my first grow.
Day 93. Day 50 of flower. Do sweet dos strain. First grow.
Lights 12/12 Par value roughly 750. Temp ranges from 17-26 day&night. Humidity 40%. Kryptonite soil in 7 gal fabric pots. Last nutes were fed on day 42 at 1400 ppm. Giving them 6L of water every 3 days for the rest of the grow. PH is 6.2 and the PPM of the water is 130.
No signs of yellowing so I think I will continue this feeding method until the end as it seems there’s still plenty for them to eat in my mediums.
My trichomes are still 50/50 milky clear going into 52 of flower. Just keeping a close eye now. Definitely packing on some good final weight.
Day 96 . Day 55 of flower. do sweet dos. First grow. Last day on earth for this fella
Today is chop day. Last dose of nutrients on day 42, so 13 days Of just regular water until today, day 55. Trichomes were actually 5 % amber on this plant, right where I wanted it. Didn’t make any drastic changes in temp or humidity in the final week It stayed at 40% Rh and temp 21.
Very excited to see how these buds look , smell and taste.
see y’all soon for one final harvest week post.
Oh man this stuff is potent. It’s description said some flower could exceed the 30% thc mark, I don’t think mines quite that high😉 but it’s packs a punch even with me who tolerance is through the roof. I cut this plant with almost no amber trichomes and good thing I did because it gives a beautiful high with about 100% milky trichomes. The bud structure was describes as compact popcorn nugs and that’s exactly what they are, the nugs looked smaller at first but pulled the same weight as some of the bigger nugs on my other strains in the end. Smells very earthy and sweet and pungent. Very pleased with the quality of this bud for my first go indoors.
For the final week I pulled my scrog to the middle of my tent and lights trimmed the buds and set it too 55% humidity and 20 degrees by day 6 they were dry enough to trim up pretty to put in jars and burp until I was happy with the moisture level (63-64%). Now they’ve been curing for almost 3 weeks so the true look and smell has arrived. What a treat.
For my first grow I’m very happy with the quality witch is most important to me. Some little tweaks moving forward and it should only get better.
A little description on what I ran in my tent for this grow.
3x3x6 Tent
4” intake 6”exhaust
30 pint dehumidifier(vents dry air in doesn’t actually fit in tent)
7 gallon fabric pots.. easy to make smaller if those are too big, gives you some leeway.
Two 600watt led full spectrum cob series lights.
Kryptonite worm casting soil with added perlite.
Technaflora recipe for sucess kit for nutes (non organic).
Wet dry vacuum so suck up run off.
Oscillation fan. 400watt ceramic heater. Two 500ml humidifiers.
Exhale XL Co2 bag hanging above plants.
Scrog net that I cut into 3x3 and used adjustable zip ties to attach it to the poles, makes for easy adjustment.
Ink-bird Humidity and temp controller attached to my units.
4 gallon pump sprayer makes watering a breeze (like the stuff for weeds like actual weeds lol).
Water PH pen and ppm meter. Syringe for measuring nutrients.
Ph up Ph down liquids. Light timers. And zip ties lots of ******** zipties.
I’m sure I’m forgetting something in the list but that’s a good idea of what I use.
People always want to know the tricks to having good weed, well there isn’t one. If you want good weed start with the basics- proper lighting for your setup - proper temp - proper humidity - good soil - good seed/strain - ph’d water with correct PPM. Adequate Co2/airflow. Dial in those basic first and you’ll have great stuff I promise. Without those aspects perfected all the other tricks you read about won’t matter.
Hope you guys stay tuned in for the next grow. Till next time. Thanks for stopping in
My dehumidifier can get my tent down to 35% RH but I find it tends to run a little warm when I do that (27-30 degrees) so I put those little packs in there somy dehumidifier turns on a little bit less keeping it 2-3 degrees cooler... haven’t noticed much of difference though. So I would say no. Lol @Cultiv8or,
