Got 8 plants finishing their week 1. I have 6 mephisyo and two other strains in coco coir. I have used old soil to germinate so couple of them are growing a bit weird. I will transplant them to their own pots when i get my other led in a week. Peace :)
Temps are a bit high, but managing somehow. I expect it to drop in couple weeks because winter is coming and it's still hawt... Problem #2 I still couldn't transplant them to their own pots because I didn't receive my lights... Asked for a backup 1000w HPS from my friend which will arrive in couple days. Then I will transplant them and put a net for scrog as soon as possible. I fed them only twice until this day which is a bit weird. Gave them week 2 nutrients yesterday and observed a little burns even though i watered pretty lightly. Anyway... Doing OK it seems. Peace fam. I forgot to mention I topped 6 of them as of now. They took topping well, after a day they kept their growth.
I'm not counting but it seems like we are in week 3. I have began watering them daily with light nutrient schedule of Canna as you can see in this week's update. My lights arrival got delayed so I'm seperating their pots slowly. They will all be in their own pots tomorrow. I'll be borrowing 1000w led and 1000w HPS from my friend but I don't think I will use HPS because of high temps even though it has all cooltube and equipement etc.
Update 2 days later: Finally received my other led panel. All plants are on their own pots now. Also I can't trust these china leds so I will be switching to HPS in flowering.
We are entering week 4 folks! I'm really excited since I expect them to grow big these 2 weeks. I cut down on watering upon suggestions and now watering every 3 days. I will increase watering volume in flowering. I also added 1ml/l cal-mag extra this week because coco contains none and I don't know if my base nutrients have enough levels of cal or mag. I will receive a SCROG net in two days and apply it as soon as possible because I love scrogging autos and I believe it increases my harvest considerably even though it will really limit my space in the grow tent. Peace fam!
Hello guys! I wanted to update before plants go into flowering. I replaced my 2nd 1000w led with 600w hps fearing that the led won't be enough to provide them enough light. I also put my SCROG net and plants are looking good. Another thing is my ph meter's calibration was wrong and everything is probably +0.8 ph. I recalibrated it today and will be checking runoff tomorrow. See you on flowering!
A funny mistake: When I was high as hell I decided to top some of my girls. Turns out I mistakenly topped lower branches of one lol. And she was already topped so she is a kind of a mess right now. I don't even know how I managed to top lower branches haha. ^^
Hello guys! It was such a disastrous week. Everything was going great until yesterday when I received a 1000w HPS with a electronic ballast. I was running 600w before without any problems with 180m3 exhaust fan. Silly me thought it was okay to run it. I even set it to super lumen mod lol. Couple hours later I smelled smoke coming from my room and realized my exhaust fan stopped working. (Later i found out it has running temp of 40 C) As a result my duct started to melt. Now I'm running my old 600w on half power around 300-400w in between plants without any need to cooling. Also put couple leds to sides for now... I ordered a new exhaust fan 4x big what i use now.. So i think i will be able to run that mf 1000w in couple of days.
Apart from these news, plants are doing amazing. however, they have some problems. Mostly upper leaves are curling and i am getting nute burns every time. I was taking any run off before a week ago so thats gotta be the problem. Run off ppm is around 400-1000ppm. So i thought no need to flush but as i said started to taking run offs every watering now..
Flower formation just began on most of them. Stretch is finally over. I wanted small and compact plants but look what i got... well i can't complain^^ scrog no more bcs they are all at different heights.
Also started to supplement with diy co2 generator. I think its working. peppers grew tremendously last week!!
Crazy week guys! Full of good things and bad ^^ after burning my fan, i replaced it with 580m3 exhaust that looks like a plane motor :D I am able to cool 2 Hps right now with it. Apart from that, received 2x electronic dimmable ballast with cooltubes, immediatly installed them. I ran them at full power for two days, then realized i am pushing my plants too much. Last week they were 70cm-ish now most of them pushing 120+ cm, one of them is 130!!. Dimmed 1000w to 600 and another 600 is at full power. My monster plant showing deficiencies on upper growth related to over pushing it. Its run-off turned out to be 400 ppm which is very low so plant is drinking everything outright!! Giving her around 600-700ppm feedings now. She seems to be more okay. I spent whole my time in the tent this week so i did their full check-ups. Run-off ppms are mostly around 1000-1200ppm and ph are 5-8-6.1. Great!! I had and might still have thrips infestetion on lower areas. Didn't mention it here but i was dealing with it for weeks. Got Aptus Dislike this week and applied it today. Good bye pests! My peppers are also ready to harvest ^^ they are bulking up lol, giving her carboload and go bloom nutes. I took a video today to show you guys!! I also want to thank to @B4RNS and @BigDaddyK for allocating their precious time to help me out this week. You guys are great!
BTW: most of them are in flowering week 1 yet.
Hello guys! Every plant is flowering now and their growth is crazy. I hope they finally stopped now. I had to super crop couple of colas due to their heights, they recovered quickly and in 2-3 hours their heads tilted through the lights. It's nice ^^ 3 White train are the tallest among all. Ogre started to produce thc even! Got some salt build up issues but i am taking steps to prevent it. Still feeding them kinda low because they burn so easily and quickly. I think ima switch to another nutrient line other than Canna with my next grow. I really don't get it. Also started to supplement with CaMg flowering Boost from Aptus, it is super concantrated so 5ml/10lt rises the ppm by 70-80. So my base with CaMg boost is around 150-200 and I am topping the rest with Canna until I see 600ppm. It kinda works better compared to previous weeks. What do you guys think about Aptus CaMg Boost, in my country there is no other CaMg supplement other than AN CalMag Xtra and Aptus CaMg boost (and epsom salt which i have). AN has 4-0-0 NPK values and Aptus has 9-0-0. Tell me please what u think. Also removed Co2 Supplement for now.
Harvested my peppers and decided to make a little comparison!😂
Canna coco peppers:
Heat: 6/10
Size: 8/10
Taste: 9/10
GO soil peppers:
Heat: 9/10😡😡 Its HOT!
Size: 6/10
Taste: 6/10
So the peppers grown in coco with Canna is actually much better than that grown with GO in soil. But be careful with Canna, even though low dosages it caused leafs to curl up on new growth. No problem with General Organics. Canna tastes much more better than GO and it is not as hard.
Hello guys! Last week my lights crashed onto plants while I was trying to hang my other led. I was lucky to get them out of tent with barely any damage. Since then I had no exhaust system so I was running my two leds and hps at half power. So I upgraded my lights. Now I'm running two 600w and will be running another 400w HPS tomorrow with proper ducting and exhaust. Only one fan is moving the air from three cool tubes which is so fucking great. 💪💪 If anyone looking for a good fan, check out S&P TD-Silent Fans.
They started to drink less, i think it is because they were receiving very low amount of lights from leds previous week.
Will start to supplement with Co2 tomorrow.
Temps are below 50 F outside, so while lights are off temps go down to 16 sometimes.
Found one brown little area in one of the buds, looks like rot but its not, i think its bcs of salt build up.
Happy growing folks!
Finally a week without much issues. Only I encountered some high ppm problems (like 2600 lol) with a white train that flowered 10 days ago. As a result, you see the problems in the photos. Cal or/and mag deficiencies occurred and leaves curled,tacoed. I solved it yesterday by flushing and mopping lol. Lowered ppm to 500. Check. I will confess I don't get runoff daily if plant isn't showing me problems. I get runoff every weekend usually because i am very busy and it takes too long.
*Started pk boost on 3 of the girls. Critical Ogre, a white train and a ripley's og is on pk boost atm. Will be upping the dosages for a week and slowly decrease a/b and increase pk boost in the weeks ahead.
**smell is craaazyy. need to get a filter this or next week.
***started co2 gen. (it's DIY lol, i dunno how much it will work but will try.)
****the white train doesn't need nutrients much. I recommend 1/4 feeding in veg! If you 1/2 you will see that run offs are really high in ppm. if you get run off every time, then no probs, i guess!
*****another note is that do not use Canna PK boost and CaMg-Boost from Aptus because they are both flowering stimulators in their own ways and both contain high P, it will cause nutrient burn for sure if you do!
nothing much else to report guys. have a nice day all! 😊
fun fact: sometimess i take a rolling paper and i rub it to thc coated leaves, it holds some resin by itself you don't have to be too strong on them. be gentle and do no damage. paper shines when you are done. it greatly enhances what i smoke that moment. that's how i take advantage of unmature plants. ^^
Hi guys! We are getting really close to an end. Ogre is going down at the end of this week and the rest is coming in 2 to 4 weeks.
The White Trains are AMAZING! Loving their buds. Its triangular like OG buds, glowing with thc. Can't wait!! Also plants are fckn HUGE! 3 plant taking maybe half of the tent. I will picture them one by one at the end.
Ripley's OGs are full of resin, smelling strong and growing huge and fast.
See you at the ogre harvest! I don't expect much yield from her bcs she is the smallest and rest of the plants are like 3x of ogre lol. Loving her though. Kinda Big and Fast ^^
Smooth sailing with this plant lol. It didn't give me any problems like The White Trains and OGs. Give her good and enough light and keep her happy nutrient-wise then she will reward you real good. This plant didn't see the light as much as my others bcs she was small and little, even this way she grew enormous buds and colas. Couldn't be happier. Haha I took her out of the tent but she had so little space inside that you can't even tell the differece now lol.
Will update with dry weight.00
Hello guys! Back with week 12!
Switching to GHE FloraCoco series during late flowering. my opinions about canna is pretty average, and i was low on them so i decided to try another line. Will continue with GHE in future grows.
The White Train is pretty close to finish. Leaves started to discolor. A week maybe, maybe not. 30-40 cloudy trichomes rn.
Others still need couple more weeks. Having trouble with ph and ppm of the coco. They are drinking so much that i can not obtain enough water to run off... Currently they are drinking 20+10 litres every 24 hours. I am feeding them twice every day. Once with 250-300 ppm and second with 150-200 ppm. My base is 30 ppm btw.
boy it is very frosty and and high is very different... took two hits and my eyes quickly tightened, started to burn...lol i have quite a tolerance btw... anyhow it definetely knocks your mind hard but not your body. You feel like you can't move or don't wanna... I felt really really sleepy, so lied down for couple hours but couldn't sleep somehow!! it felt like sleep tho! lol. very odd. I think its a mostly sativa plant with high indica properties.. whats goin on man 😆 loving it 😍00
This run has been so much fun guys! Only 3x Ripley's OG and an Afghan Mass is left in the tent. Maybe I went too much with feeding but all of the Ripley's OG leaves look burned, discolored... Maybe its because its time is coming. ^^ All three plant look very alienish lol, they are very bulky and soo white!!
Started flushing and giving them only water from now on. I got tired watering and feeding these monsters maan! finally some peace and rest. These guys maybe got 10 days left tops except Afghan Mass, she still got 2-3 weeks to mature up.
Thanks to anyone still following!! You guys are great.
YES WE ARE STILL ON!
woah woah woah. purps are showing but plant is almost deead. gonna take him down this weekend. she is a beauty queen ^^
if would have been waited maybe a week more, more purps would definetely show up... but plant can't support itself, falls, breaks stems... didn't expect them to grow this big... more planning next time. ✊
Ripleys OG is a great strain over all. She is strong and heavy yielder... Tends to change color later in flowering. Particular purple, orange spots on top of the buds. She is a beauty queen!000
Still feeding this dude! It's been lonely for him lately in the tent but he is enjoying it. :) He is in around 7-8th week of flowering i guess. Very late then others. I planted this one a week or two late and flowered couple weeks late too. So a couple weeks away from the harvest she is looking good. Smells a little kushy... peppery. very spicy. Rock solid buds started to turn orange.
Glad to raise this beast.
I have been giving only water to her but she began to swell up this week so started to give her only a little mother earth tea, because its very light and i love how it smells lol...
i also took a video to show you how big these plants were!! biggests were ripley's ogs ofcourse but they are gone now. :)
Happy growing folks!
I was planning to keep this plant alive for another week or two to have some narcotic effects but had to cut her down due to some reasons and she didn't have light. So she began to hermie...
It's high is still very enjoyable. Very relaxing and stony, stress and anxiety killer, euphoric and mood lifter. This strain has some high cbd levels. She will be much better after curing for sure!0
