(4 Previous Days 10-18-19: 10-22-19) Germination - Successful germ. Purple Queen, GDP, Fat Banana. *Unsuccessful Saphire OG (Humbolt Seed)
First Nutes: (10-22-19 ) 2" - 2.5", first set leaves, small stake support. Diluted Nutes to 1/4 recommend. (Drain2Waste still in rapid rooter tray)
***😣Lumitec 600w Dim-able went out with Genesis MH bulb on 10-22-19. 😀Replaced with new Revolt 600w MH/HPS dim-able 10-23-19 @ 75% power for 3 days)
***11.3.19***
Transplant all seedlings to 3 Gal containers. (Mixed 60% CoCo, 20% Pearlite, 20% Hydroton.)(Using fabric bag inserts)
Increased MH Light to 100% output. Distance to 30"
Nutes @ 50% recommended per GH. (PH 6.2, TDS 1.43, Temp 68, Humid 50%)
MIXED NUTES DIRECTLY INTO EXPANDING COCO WHILE MAKING THE MIX.
TOPPED ALL PLANTS (Start week 2) 11.3.19
TOPPED ALL PLANTS (End Week 2) 11.11.19
**GDP - This plant looks strange, only 1 of 2 start leaf set started. Plant has gown with pointy, Sativa like leafs. Smaller and weaker then the other 2.
**RQS Purple Queen - As expected, formation normal appx. 4"
**RQS Fat Banana - As expected, formation normal appx. 4"
!!!Goal!!! Allow moisture in coco mix to dry almost to 100% before watering. Reason--- plants suffer from over watering and then root rot, However another big reason is when the plant is transplanted as the coco dries the roots will go searching for water, creating a larger more substantial root base during vegetative growth This will eliminate "wet spots" in the soil which can turn to root rot and allow the plant to intake more fluid at a more even level.
&&& THIS WEEK IS WRITTEN AHEAD OF TIME AND THIS PROCESS REQUIRED NO EXTRA FLUIDS THEN WHAT WAS USED TO MIX THE COCO"
**11-17-19**
Continue nutes at 1/2 recommended strength.
Watering is as of now drain to waste as it is still taking the plants almost a week to consume each watering.
Plants have grown significantly (4") and were topped at the beginning of the week.
GDP is starting to look more normal but has several off-chutes not from the topping.
Root growth encouragement will be over by end of 4th week.
Switching to Transition 11-19-19.
Clones taken x3 each strain.
***If someone reads this I need advice on drying in an arid, warm climate, please msg***
Plants are all doing great. Great color, super cropped and supported this week and the plants bounced back within 6 hours. Very healthy. (Notes Below)
*** Started Flower Transition on 11.21.19***
***Water on 11.21.19***
Continued on half strength nutes. ( See nutrients section)
6.0 Ph
865 ppm
20% run off
*Continuing to let coco mix dry all the way before feeding (now taking appx 7 Days)
***Changed Light Cycle To Bloom***
Changed to 12 hr (09:00 - 21:00) on 11.21.19
Changed 600 MH to 600 HPS @100% on 11.24.19
Note: Bulb looks dim replace HPS
*** Training and Cloning ***
*Cloned 3 specimens of each and moved to veg light cycle. 11.21.19
* Super Cropped all 3 plants (HST) to outward positions (see pics) 11.24.19
Goal on this was to bring the large cola's down and out so the middle can continue to fill and the plant have a nice canopy.
Super crop was done and plants were supported on bamboo shoots to train growth. (LST)
* Defoliate only covered or impeding leaves to the canopy. Also anything under the plant.
@James,
Thanks James, the RQS (Purple Queen & Fat Banana) are obviously superior stock compared to the Blim Burn (GDP) Possibly chance.
I have updated the strain information in comments to reflect the RQS strains when referencing the Purple Queen and Fat Banana.
Go Forth and Grow Together,
