grow 4

Catching up a bit. Haven't been posting in a while. 2x2x4 grow tent added 4" exhaust and filter system and it is working well, no more smell throughout the house I have only used the 150W UFO LED light so far, but will use the other lights when I go into flowering stage. Started a new grow (Blue Monkey and OG Kush) Planted: July 17 Germinated : July 20 (OG) - July 21 (Blue Monkey) Transplanted to larger pot on July 28 Watering: about 7oz every two days, but this has been picking up as the last watering was today at 9oz. Aug 6: clipped the tops of both plants began a low level LST and clipped the tops to form a 4 colas and another 2 on each side for a total of 6 Installed a elevated ring to tie the colas to. Defoliated as I went, keeping growth of leaves only above the ring. So far, so good. Waiting for the OG Kush to grow upward a bit more before fully defoliating below the ring. Exhaust fan creates a negative pressure so opened up both sides of bottom vents. This really helps to keep the air circulating across the plants. They look very healthy. Spray with a diluted mixture of Cal-Mag on the leaves and enough to keep the soil moist on the top. Feeding Dr. Earth plant food tea (1/4 cup mixed with quart of water) 2 oz every two weeks. Feeding with 3oz every other week with Miracle Grow (1/4 per Gal) Running 18/6 on the lighting, will change to 12/12 next week and hope to see some flowering soon after ****** One of my best grows so far ******** Lessons Learned. *Grow tent is a must have, even a small one. *Exhaust fan and filter are a must have. Helps control smell, but also keeps clean air circulating across the plants. No trouble with pests or disease this time around. * have a strategy I picked a simple low stress training method **** Patience **** can't tell you how obsessive I get over these plants. You should just let them grow and, for the most part, leave them alone.
