πŸ‘‰Its week 11 and the plant is looking beautiful. Lots of bud sites all over the plant. The plant is looking healthy and seems to be thriving. The tips of the leaves on the new growth at the top of the plant show a brown. I had a day when the outflow of the fertigation was +30. I did a low EC fertigation right away and more regular EC. Since then Ive kept the run off within 10 by preceding ever other fertigation with a low EC feeding with just enough volume to get a few mls of run-off. On the GHE drain to waste feed chart Im on Mid-Bloom mixture. I am guessing it may be 2-3 weeks before its in 'late bloom' stage. Im still mixing full strength and the EC for a batch is 1.5ms. While I believe that by allowing the run-off of fertigation to reach +30 is what cause the brown tips. Im also mindful that I may need to dilute the batch a little. To see the effects of nutrient/media issues it can take a couple of days if its subtle. So if I continue to see the bright green tips of new leaves turn brown then Ill lower dilute the mix. Ive seen no other possible indicators of negative issues. πŸ‘‰The plant is filling out nicely all over. Marble sized fuzzy pearls are scattered all over. There isnt much aroma besides the typical young cannabis plant smell. Ive squeeze a couple small buds, there are visible trichomes and its sticky to touch, but no notable aroma. The trichomes are coming out all over the place and it should make for a very fuzzy plant. πŸ‘‰I have removed a couple more small branches and shaded leaves and will only take vegetation that is showing issues or totally shaded and showing lack of vigor. I have installed the bamboo steaks that I will use for support for the branches. I attach them to the metal posts attached to the hoop around the base of the pot. This keeps the steaks out of the media. The Plant is 36" and the early flower stretch seems to have slowed. I have 6 more inches of light adjustment height before I have to resort to spreading the light supports and angling the lights to allow for more height. πŸ‘‰This coming week should be more of the same as 99 slowly matures. I have a new fan that I may install. Currently I have a 4" 190cfm exhaust fan (vented outside). I anticipate as temperatures drop outside my tent temps with rise like they did last spring. Im not using a cob light this time and surprisingly the temps have stayed steady at 78-80. The new fan is a 6" and 440cfm. I have a variable speed controller to use on it and will hopefully be able to have more control and success at maintaining cool temperatures better during the more mild weather (sounds convoluted I know).

Hey man love your setup! Also I think it's great that you have marigold in there! I was reading somewhere that companion planting weed and marigold increases resin production, I would assume it would have to be in the same container though. Have you noticed anything in the resin department?

@Weird_Jimmy, I love this info! Thank you so much! It's interesting about the Marigold and spider mites! At least you can just monitor the Marigold and then treat it before they spread! I would love to try a living organic soil grow and incorporate basil and marigolds as companion plants, realistically I just love all the different styles available to us and all the knowledge to be unlocked! Thanks again for the info πŸ€™πŸ€™

@Cheezy, Ive done a bit of research on marigolds as companion plants. When planted in the same pot as cannabis, the marigold helps supplement the amount of beneficial microbes in the soil. This is theorized to enhance the resin production. I didnt find any quantified research. Just research that stated the more robust the beneficial microbes in the soil are, the more robust the plant and thus more resin production. I also found that marigolds, unfortunately, ATTRACT spider mites. They deter most everything else, garden pest wise, but do attract spider mites. This isnt all bad because the spider mites will get on the marigold, but can spread to the cannabis if allowed to proliferate. I treat the room surrounding my tent with household pesticides (applied between plant sessions). I treat the exterior of my tent with Neem oil spray. I also hang No-Pest strips in the room that the tent is in. I have ZERO bugs in the grow room and have only seen fungus gnats when I was between blooming marigold plants.

@Weird_Jimmy, no worries, it's hard to speculate without having more data. One day when I have more lights and potentially a good mother I will try to run a side by side test and get back to you with the results, given I remember :P Thanks heaps man :D happy growing!

I know your problem with measuring temperature and even more humidity. Those meters do have quite a high tolerance of up to 5% for RH. Also I noticed that the temperature on canopy level can be as much as 5Β°C higher than on the floor. In the longer run I want to get rid of all this technocratic stuff. My goal is to just understand the plants. If I feel comfortable in the grow room it is good for the plants as well.

@Weird_Jimmy, I prefer to conserve a bit from every plant, so over time I have a good variety to choose from. And I think it gets so much better when stored for some longer time. I'm currently smoking some weed that has been cured for one year and it is so much better than only some weeks after harvest!

@Buddha2, thanks for the fan info, you've convinced me that getting the 400cfm fan is going to be a good buy. I agree with indoor winter grows its easier to control the environment. Im not a volume toker either. But I admit since becoming weed rich, I dont try to conserve anymore like when I had to buy it. I have more than I can consume before it goes stale with just one plant. My close friends are getting to enjoy natures bounty with me and Ill make some hash soon too...so hopefully none will go to waste. I love the variety but one plant at a time is my approach now. I hope to win a blue ribbon at the fair someday. πŸ˜‰

@Weird_Jimmy, yes, getting the hot air out is very important. My exhaust fan can be run at either 220 or 400 mΒ³/h. Initially I had it running at low speed because this was sufficient to control the smell. But then we had a major heat wave and I switched it to full power. That made a drastic difference, temperatures immediately dropped by several degrees. The bigger issue is the humidity, though. Trying to fight it with a dehumidifier is void because it again will increase the temperature and new moist air is coming in permanently, so you end up using more electric power than for the lights. So I decided to do indoor grows only in winter where it is so much easier to control the environment. As I'm not a heavy smoker I do not need to do perpetual grows, but one single grow per year is more than sufficient to keep me medicated.

Hey @Weird_Jimmy thanks for the advice on harvest but I was wondering about my girls that got thrips. They are significantly behind the 1 girl was able to harvest yesterday at day 55 of flower. I dont know if I should wait for them to hopefully recover because they look terrible. Your girl looks amazing though great job.

@Weird_Jimmy, that makes sense I guess I will see if they recover. Thank youπŸ‘πŸΌ
Weird_Jimmy
Weird_Jimmy
@GrowsGanjaGuy, ah...I thought you were asking about all of them. Hard to see in the pix how much damage is done. Is it worth your time and effort to see if it would recover? If you have time then you could try and find out. Or Just cut your losses and get a fresh grow going sooner. Your other plants are looking like frosty goodness!

Question for ya.... I just cropped out Cinderella 99 and all of her leaves were sativa like... nice big and long skinny fingers. I also went and looked at a couple of more Cindy's and they were the same way... big long and skinny. Your Cindy looks more like an indica. I'm still a noob, so that's why I checked out others first... any thoughts....

@Weird_Jimmy, yea I bought these seeds from this breeder also and the leaves seem to be wide. My plants are very small but I'm hoping to switch within the next week or 2.
Weird_Jimmy
Weird_Jimmy
@Crawlndog, This is just my 5th plant since the 1980s. I have noticed that it does look very indica. Its short, bushy with the broad fingered leaves. Growers choice says its 70% Sativa and 30% indica. Id say that the Indica is standing out here. As to why its looking more like an Indica, your guess is as good as mine. My guess would be 2 or 3 things, the pheno of this particular seed ended up expressing its Indica more by either random happenstance or poor quality controls by the breeder. Another could be its possible I either got a different strain or the mother plant wasn't exactly what they say it is.It could also be that its just been soaking up the nutrients and the light and the leaves are just freakishly fat. All pure conjecture on my part as I have done zero research. Now you've given me something to do.

I own exactly the same cheap thermometers like you (also 12 of them πŸ˜„) and can confirm your observation: temperature value is fairly correct, but humidity is always displayed too high. But the offset seems to be stable and consistent, so they are still quite useful. You know they will always display 3-5% too much.

@Buddha2, That is my plan, just mark the difference on each one.

I’ve noticed from the three I grew from growers choice that they went well past their flower date. I had the same trichome activity as well, it was difficult to get them amber, instead I would harvest with about 3% amber. Are you planning to flush the last 10days?
Weird_Jimmy
Weird_Jimmy
@ArborFarms, Yes, almost all my GC have gone a bit longer than the timeline they project. As far as flushing goes I do not flush and provide nutrient all the way to harvest.

I'm so interested in your Cindy... mine had a beautiful grapefruit smell...😍 Your girl is looking great! 😁
Weird_Jimmy
Weird_Jimmy
@Crawlndog, Thanks! Notice it grew out of its fat indica looking leaves! Its not got the flower aroma going yet, cant wait for it to get fragrant, I'll know its doing good when the wife starts bitching about the fragrance if I leave the tent open too long πŸ˜‰

@@Wontgiveup, Thank you for you kind words! the macro shots on this diary were on a USB microscope (35$ on Amazon). I also took a couple with macro rings on my DSRL on my standard lens. Those rings were ok, but not worth the effort to get one pic due to the slightest touch makes everything blur due to the movement. I have pictures of the USB on some of my other diaries.
