Dec. 2 - Dec. 9, 2019
Week 5 has ended. I was pulled away for several days due to my work schedule. I was not able to keep up with recent pics and diary entries... I was barely able to keep up with the grow ๐ฃ.
Due to my schedule I only performed routine watering until the near the end of the week
Dec. 7
Performed LST and defoliation to maximize light to new bud sites. Plants are looking good, no signs of pests or nutrition issues.
It is worth noting CS #3 is not growing at the pace of CS #1 & #2. I believe it has to do with the method of training. CS#3 was bent over to the edge of the pot... normal LST method.
CS #1 & #2 were trained differently... they were allowed to grow in their natural position but with staking fan leaves out of the way of bud growth sites and staking bud growth sites in place to get optimal light. It ends up looking like a Christmas tree. These two plants are producing very well.
Dec. 8
Moved the plants into their new home... 4x8 tent with air cooled 600w HPS hood, tent is vented through carbon filter by a 6" variable speed can fan. I'm vent the tent into the room neat the ceiling and venting the light through ceiling rafter over a wall into the next room. My grow room is in a work shop in my finished basement next to an unfinished room where my furnace and water heater are.
Top dressed all plants with 2 tbsp of a blend of Good Earth powdered amendments... kelp, crab, alfalfa, neem, azominte, fox farm jump start.
It's winter time here in the mid west and I'm finding this is working very well controlling the tent environment. I am able to control the tent temps and humidity by varying the speed of the tent's exhaust fan.
I'm currently keeping another diary here... link below.. with Californian Snow and another auto by FastBuds 420.
I've decided to keep separate dairies of each strain so I can focus and share the details of each strain independently.
I'll still update the original grow diary with both stains along with updating two strain specific diaries.
