Treating this like week 4 of VEG due to the fact I started from seed so week 1 is really like week 0 (zero). Pretty straight forward week. Bumped up the FloraBloom a bit. Plants are looking really healthy! I finally got a light meter that measure LUX and FC and have been slowly bumping up the LUX this week by lowering the T5 LED's closer to the plants. At first I had the light really low but then raised it to about 16 inches, it was a guessing game! When I got the light meter I took a measurement and realized that the plants weren't getting enough light and that these light meters are a useful tool. At 16" the LUX meter showed a reading of about 12,000 LUX and I need to be somewhere between 15,000 and 50,000! I'm learning that these new T5 LED's are designed to sit really close to the plants for better absorption. It's colder now and doing this helps keeps temps up so it's a win win. By weeks end the plants should be receiving approx 35,000 LUX. The LST is going well also so I'm going to continue with that for another week of VEG before I flip these plants over to the flowering side of the tent and bump the light up significantly with the LED Quantum Board with deep red ultraviolet LEDS. Can't wait! Plants have also slowly been taking on more water as I have been increasing the feedings by 1 cup every time. They are now able to take a full feeding with run off. PH is in the range going in and out.
First time doing LST and am wondering about clipping the fan leaves that are in the dirt and covering the new growth nodes on the main stem. Is it cool to cut these fan leaves in order to expose these new growth sites to the lights or would you recommend I just leave it? Thanks!
@ajr0327 by all means trim any leaves that are making contact with the soil as it could lead to problems from infections also you remove any leaves or lower branches that will not get adequate light to grow anything worthwile . I'm not a fan of defoliation for the sake of aesthetics or fancy techniques and I only do it when its for my
benefit or the plants health requires it. You see the leaves are like "fuel" for the plant they create cholryphyl which is then converted to energy so that the plant can grow.
If too many leaves are removed the plant will suffer too many growers solely rely on the nutrients they feed their plants forgetting that without the adequate foliage those nutrients will remain in the soil rather than be taken up and converted to energy .
I have a deficiency. Can you please check out my pics and give your advice? I thinks its a Magnesium deficiency, am I correct? Increase CalMag? Flush with extra water? Any tips would be helpful.
You grow in coco,leaves showing absolute magnesium deficiency,my bet is you didn't feed each time you water up until here.In coco,try to feed each watering.its not like soil,it needs to be fertilized any time you water it.especially calcium and magnesium are lacking.burns at leaf edges are caused by skipping feeding and giving only water.they surely had some amount of exces nutrients and when you stop adding nutes to your watering,they tried to absorb excess minerals with that nuteless water,amount of water is not enough for them to absorb completely and this happens.experienced it before,a few times and I'm pretty sure about it.feed each time and add some magnesium.if you see serious nute burn on your leaves,flush once only,then add some nuted water again.
@ChefDan420, yep! I'm glad I had read about that on Reddit before this happened to me or I would've probably freaked right out and panicked. The tape seems to be working perfectly!
@@WisdomCulture420, thank you good sir! Just started the grow journal but got interrupted and will finish the rest today. Cheers for the kind wishes and same back to you as well!
I personally thing you've done the defoliation at the right time buddy 👌
Time for all that excess energy to go into bud production 🤗
Good call 👍
Happy New year from Humboldt County 🤘👊🙏

Humidity minimum 60 % and ph in 6.5 area , otherwise even all bottle of cal mag wont help ...
And it looks like you have that issue already ...
Hang wet cloth in grow area to put humidity higher.
Fresh grow very healthy, dont ruin that !
Old leaves can go .... Just in steps and when they will be in shade.
No leaf can touch soil...
Good luck !
Your in the home stretch mate and looking in great shape 🤗
This final stage does seam like forever 🙏
Not long now 👍👊
With love from Humboldt County✌️
Kind regards
