First Grow- White Widow ScrOG SF1000LEDs

Jan. 29 - ph: 7.8 - plant 2 has rusty edges, and burnt tips, I think it is because of ph fluctuations, but nutrient burn and light burn are possibilities - I just don’t know how it can be treated identical as plant 1 and both keep having issues, and take turns being afflicted - For this reason I always circle back to ph swings - i gave both plants combined 2.5 gal total, ph’d to 6.5 with 5 ml total of blackstrap molasses - the water was a bit warmer this time as I dissolved the 5ml of molasses in a 500ml glass of warm water - plant 2 seems a little unwell and has its leaves pointing up a little bit, whereas, plant 1 had its level - If any of these symptoms continue I will turn down the lights a little bit or more likely raise them up - humidity has been holding around40-50% steady for most of flowering - the temps have gotten a little lower recently during lights off at 65 and can get as high as 85 - these extremes only occur when, for the low of 65, the heat in the house drops to 66-67 while most people are asleep and the lights are off and also the heat vent into the room is closed, or the door to the room is open - the high of 85 only happens when I am working in the tent for a period of time, with the door closed in the room, and the lights on with the heat vent open coming into the room - overall, I am still very happy with the plants but this next week I think will be very important to ensure there is only one problem, the soil ph fluctuations - I will feed the same 40ml of big bloom, and 30 ml of tiger, and if the molasses seems to be helping, I may also add it into every feed jan. 30 - ph:7 - more light coloured leaves on plant 1 - both look great and getting hairier each day - moved lights up to 24” above canopy - kWh total usage to date (88 days) = 426.4kwh = 0.19 $/kwh =81$ - now cost is 0.10 $/kwh - 5$ per week on average - high usage of just under 700kwh - average is around 325kwh with lights on - Plant 2 is overly bushy right now, I’d normally selectively prune the 5 large fan leaves blocking quite a bit, however, there is some damage on those fans leaves from light burn or nutrient burn or ph fluctuations so I will just let them continue to either slowly die or bounce back before I prune but I think the stretch is very much over, there no more nitrogen coming in in significant amounts and it’s past 3 weeks. This means any pruning is absolutely final, and given the issues surrounding those leaves it’s possible that in 2 weeks those leaves fall off even - The intake fan on 10 (340 cfm -ducting and carbon intake ) is very powerful, especially because I restricted the intake ducting so instead of 6” it’s more like 1.5”x1.5” square allowing air in - This causes a negative pressure holding all smells inside, but the smells are not bad at all, why is this a problem because that concentrated wind coming in from the ducting is very strong, the angle I have it on now sends the air through the lower 1/3 but where it hits gets pretty bad wind damage - The area that is affected is rather small undergrowth that hasn’t had much of a chance from being blocked by the canopy and also it’s hitting old fan leaves that had damage already from fluctuation etc. - So it’s not much of a problem currently and won’t be changed in all likelihood for this grow - All in all the plants are doing great and hopefully not much more than 4 weeks to go before I chop - I guess that means in about 2-3 weeks I’ll be getting ready to flush 0” - 11” milk crate 11” - 17” soil 17” - 25” stalk 25” screen 32” canopy (ideal) - (32” currently) - plant height = 15” - 55” canopy height max potential 56” - light height - 24” gap for lights 56” - 70” gap between lights and tent ceiling Jan. 31 - ph: 7.5 - plants are good, same issues are present but under control - buddy getting very nice - plant 2 is getting a little darker in color and bunchier, I’m just waiting to see if the leaves have any more issues before i prune - soil is still very moist, next water probably on sunday feb 2, - ph. 7.8 - dry - continued yellowing on plant 1, only on a handful of leaves and everything else is great - continued “rusting” / browning around the tips of plant 2 - both plants have a lot of tips just the very tip burnt and curling up, but the vast majority of the leaf is not burnt - 4 gal of 6.35 ph’d water + 40 ml of big bloom + 24 ml of tiger bloom + 13ml of apple cider vinegar - run-off occurs with 1 gallon left, just a thin layer - 2.25L of run-off - plant 1 ph 6.5 run off - plant 2 ph 6.15 run off Specifications:😎👇 Seeds: - 2x White Widow feminized seeds from Crop King Seed Tent: - 4x4x6 Mammoth Grow tent LED: - 2x Spider Farmer SF1000 LED for veg - 4x Spider Farmer SF1000 LED for flower (320 watts - 90-80-60-90 back left, back right, front left, front right) Pots: - 2x 0.5 L starter pots - 2x 5 gal smart pots after transplant Soil: - Pro-mix containing mycorrhizae and perlite, used for starter pots and mixed at roughly 1:3 ratio with Ocean Forest - Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, used in the 5 gallon pots and mixed with roughly 3:1 ratio with pro-mix - note: pro mix was mixed thoroughly with ocean forest in the 5 gal pot, then pro-mix was used on the top layer, in and around where the transplant will be to help the early veg stage avoid getting too "hot" via nutrients.
