I’m sorry for the late update, life got in the way and I have a wife that has a nasty flu so I’m a juggling a lot of balls on the farm. Had some issues with very low humidity levels that the plants didn’t like , had to add a humidifier to rectify and I added a 18,000 btu ductless heat pump so I’ve been experimenting with temp settings, the room is improving quickly and it’s sealed now so I’m making proper use of my CO2 , lights will be turned to 12 hrs this weekend and let the bloom begin !!!!
Bloom week # 1 , had to dial the nutrients back a bit but I think I’ve got it dialed in now , explosive growth now with the heat pump and Co2 are in a sealed room . Lots of new shoots , going to be a very full canopy .
Did some cleanup in the bloom room last night and lollipoped the Zombie Kush , will finish the under canopy cleanup this weekend
End of week # 2 in bloom , been busy finishing the lollipop and LST training , canopy is a lot fuller now. The Zombie Kush is a lot happier with the lower ppm on the nutrients , it took a good Flush and I ran at 900 ppm and they are doing a lot better, the CO2 burner is dialed in and now that the room is sealed the 20 lb propane tank has lasted two weeks. It’s nutrient change day today so I’m going to bump the ppm to 950 to 1000 ppm and see if the Zombie is ok with , the 8 Ball Kush loves the heavy feed but does not seem to be lacking anything with the lower ppm, the ductless heatpump works great and I just leave it set 68 degrees on auto and the room stays 68 to 78 degrees. Now with the room sealed the humidity has lowered so I do need to run my humidifier to keep the room at 50%
End of bloom week #3 , canopy has filled in well and the stretch is over so I lowered my lights to 18 inches , I boosted the ppm up to 1100 and boosted the potassium and phosphorus up , this next week will tell me if the Zombie Kush will take the stronger nutrients.
End of week # 4 , did nutrient change, major fungus gnat problem for the last week , the population exploded so I used H2O2 diluted to 3% , the plants are yellowing , it almost looks like a nitrogen deficiency, hopefully I caught it soon enough, I put out new sticky traps so I will be able to tell if I have control of the little suckers , other than that the buds are chunking up nice
End of week # 6 , nutrient change today and this will be the last week for heavy feed , next week I will reduce the feed to 50% and the last week will be rinse , shut my CO2 off for the last 2 weeks , nice to get the fungus gnat problem under control , they did some damage but the girls are still chunking up , have a great x mas everyone
End of week # 7 , I have started to reduce the nutrients for final flush in a week , Zombie Kush is looking amazing with lots of crystal and purple in the buds , I ran two 315 CMH lights this round and I’m impressed with the results , they have outperformed my 600 watt Hps and the Purple colors really come out , I removed some shade leaf last night to open up the canopy a bit and let some of the smaller buds get more light , getting pretty stinky in the room now
End of week 8 in flower , girls are on flush now, I have lowered the temp to 72 with lights on and 60 for lights off , I’m running both my Dehumidifers to keep the humidity below 40%, I will give them 4 or 5 days of just water and then no water or light for 48 hrs before harvest, the room is pretty stinky , thank god for can filters, I will post results after the chop.
I ended up with 3 lbs from 3.5 600 watt Hps, I never found the sweet spot for feed as the strain didnt like the 5 parts salt system I use and I had to keep the nutrient ppm under 900 to keep them happy.
