Ontario Indoor Newbies 1st grow

15 Aug # Well the start of the third week the Last hope has grown twice the size since yesterday (stretch) So I think I am on the right track. - Have added the 32 W Led for the 24 hour the main 1000 W Led is still on the 18-6 cycle - Noticeable growth - Added B-52 to the nutrient list Still with Voodoo Juice in res - I will change the res once the first set of multi point leaves start to grow. wait a few days then top early. That seems to work really well for others so why not. - pH is 6 (not using electronic) - humidity is getting low was at 40 last night made it to 45. My method is putting a wet rag behind the plant fan, that way I do not raise it too fast No space really for anything else might buy a micro mister that is USB powered however if the wet rag technique works why buy something. -The solution temp is climbing I will be using ice bottles between the walls of the bucket so that I can leave it and not worry. My Mothers grows are doing well she decided to make me do some LST to spread her legs pic will be there. Her other plant is still recovering from a aggressive top and defoliation and is having new growth (about a week). Yes they are my mom's grow but as any good son I do the research and gain information and she just grows them. 😅 17 Aug # Leaves are past the net cup now. Have been fighting low humidity 40-45% and high solution temps (20-22 C) I have managed to stabilize it with wet rags and water in a cup, and ice bottles. I think that having the 2 lights is what is the hard part for temps. The roots are about 3-5 cm below the cup now and growing strong and fast despite the temperatures. 18 Aug # First day of 19/5 she seems to respond well have pulled the 32 watt strip out and using the 1000w only. Will slowly reduce the light schedule to a 18/6 so not to trigger early flower. out of most plants I have encountered this is the first one that has huge first serrated leaves. the benefits of hydroponics is showing. roots are about 10-20 cm below the cup already (one night) the temperature and humidity battle has swung in my favor due to removing the 1 light. I am amazed at the difference between soil and hydro growth. My moms plants are doing well the auto flower is about 6.5 weeks and has started to flower about a week ago the stretch was amazing. Her photo period is starting to grow faster now after a huge defoliation and top. might be the only time i get to top so I made sure it was worth the effort. 2 weeks then I am back in my apartment so this grow will be less updates and my two I am taking will have lots of updates..... 19 Aug # Checked on her this morning there is a new growth coming up now. Once that has expanded and another node comes up I will top her and start some LST (depending on leaf type). I found through others and research there are 2 opinions on any high stress training, one group says no because they think you can only do it after 3 nodes, and the other group says do it as soon as possible. Both have yielded great results however I have seen auto-flowers that have early stress are perfectly fine with it. 20 Aug # The leaf edges are curling up and she seems a bit pale, I will be doing a nute change in a few days or maybe even today. still growing well. root have grown into the res now. For a plant that is only 1.5 weeks from seed this is great.
