Beginning of week 3 and she's coming along nicely, have slightly increased nutrients to 3.5ml per litre once a week. Soil is drying a hell of a lot quicker now I have added the perlite so hopefully no root rot like I think may have been the problem with the strawberry cough in my other diary.
Topped this week, and created a new grow box. Things are looking good! And really looking forward to switching to 12/12 in a couple more weeks 👍🏼👍🏼 Watch this space!!
Upped nutes to 5ml/ltr today (1ml over recommendation) I think she can take it tho!! 2 more weeks then the fun starts 😆😆👍🏼👍🏼
Update- Day 32, I've started some low stress training and we will see how she gets on 🙏🏼
Switched to 12/12 today! I was gonna wait till next week but I thought fuck it today is the day!!
I'm so inpatient and I know with this game that's definitely not a good thing, but to hell with it bring on the buds😆😆
She has been on 12/12 for a week now and still no sign of any white pistils.
I have ordered another 80w light to take the wattage up to 240w to help with flowering I just hope it arrives soon!
Still not much going on in the way of starting to flower, but she looks really healthy still!
I’ve add on to the grow box a bit 😆 will update again when it’s finished, let me know what you think 😁👍🏼👎🏻🌳😉
Day 54 - I have added cal-mag and boost nutrients, she is looking beautiful no problems whatsoever and she is finally starting to flower 😄👌🏻👍🏼✅🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
Day 65 - Removed some of the fan leaves today to expose lower budsites!
She is coming along nicely 😊 not long now and the buds should start fattening up and the frostiness will start apearing.
Day 69 - she is budding nicely not that frosty atm but I’m happy with her progress.
@PharmaZ I have moved the carbon filter outside the box like you suggested giving the
girls a bit more room 👍🏼
Day 70 - got home and the plug on the fans had fucked out, RH was at 75% 😢😡
Day 74 - not much to report this week, she still looking really healthy and budding nicely hopefully they will start fattening up over the next couple weeks before I start flushing her!!
She is definitely ripening nicely I’m just hoping the buds swell over the next couple of weeks, planing on flushing in another week or so depending on what the trichs look like. Will probably start the flush once there are 10% amber and am gonna cut the first small bud to check this weekend 👍🏼👍🏼
Because you don't have that much room (same as me) I would advise you moving the Carbon filter outside the box if you could? Then for the next time you run a grow you would be able to ditch the scrog and just LST, I can only imagine watering is a bitch in your grow space. The next thing you could do to make watering easier is; get a long flat tray and have it set on a slight tilt so the water runs down it towards the door of the grow room. At the end of the tray you place a bucket or another low rimmed tray to catch the water running off the plants. If I could draw a picture for you I would. Your setup looks awesome though im sure you will be totally fine. I will follow along aswell👍🏼
@PharmaZ, yeah I need to get one of those, at the moment I just have a computer fan drawing the air out through the filter and another drawing fresh air in.
That's it for this grow tho the misses won't let me spend any more cash on it till this one is done.
Micro growing is defiantly the way forward for anyone with space issues and now there are so many LED lights on the market heat isn't a problem.
The aim for me is to be self sufficient, never buy weed again!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌳🌳🌳
@LouShott, that's right all trial and error👍🏼 I've made a lot of errors haha
CFM stands for cubic feet/min also the name given to the typical fans used with carbon filters at least that's what myself and everyone I know calls them (CFM fans). You should buy one based on the size of the area you have to grow.
It's always going to be a mess I'm afraid, reason for that is as you move things around and get better at growing your plants will grow bigger, fatter and bushier meaning you still won't have enough room when you grow "micro" 😜
@PharmaZ, yeah it is all a bit trial and error at the moment, I think you are definitely right tho!
The only reason the skunk #1 is on another pot is to bring it up to the same height as the Strawberry cough which I started well before!
It is all a bit of a mess but next time is gonna be better for sure!! 👍🏼👍🏼
What's CFM?
Nice looking grow, love the homemade box, very clean design!. I do think that you're going to be quite pressed for vertical room during flower, which will make it tough to regulate temps and humidity, for your next grow check out HLG's 90w Quantum light, its very low profile and should provide plenty of light for flowering two plants in that space. Best of luck and happy flowering!
Looking good. I'm curious to hear how this smokes. I have been trying to find a good traditional skunk but they all seem to have a lot of fruity or piney flavors mixed in anymore...
Nice work on the grow box. Keep up the great work.
