Week 1 of flower on my Underground Originals #1 cuts in my converted wardrobe which is still a work in progress but the conditions are dialed in.
Both are in 19L Oxy-Pots and being fed Shogun Fertilisers which are working out great thus far.
They have been lightly pruned at the bottom 3rd and grown into a screen which is pretty much filled coming to the end of week 1.
I will completely remove every bit of growth below the canopy barring some leaves sometime between mid and end of week 2.
@Ripper, appreciated thanks. Gonna most likely be in another 3 weeks yet hopefully including flush so we will see if we can stack them and swell them more! Fingers crossed
@SHOGUN, all done 15 litres of water per plant containing 1ml per litre of Sumo Boost and 4ml of Dragon Force.
EC 1.3
PH naturally fell to 5.7-5.8
Very happy not to have to mess around with a ph pen and ph down.
I can see the finish line
@biggreens420,I’m nervous green my baby’s I do t want to damage them all the buds connecting up on branches I got all decorations ready stockings lights hats tinsel more then I need but I’m unsure what to do now why don’t you come on kik download it to your phone if you can and chat with everyone
@SHOGUN, thanks it's great to have so much help and support from you, not only do you have an amazing product range but you have second to none customer service too.
@biggreens420@Fire_Farmer Epic job again with our nutes! The Active Boost and Original Boost have extremely similar active ingredient profiles. The difference is in the formulation chemistry really - Active Boost has been designed as an emulsion to massively increase the products longevity in nutrient tanks or active hydroponics/irrigation systems. If you are hand watering and are using your mixed nutes within 24 hours then the original sumo is absolutely fine (as you can tell!). Active Really comes into its own when you are mixing larger volumes that are going to stand for a few days. It also has a slightly different amino profile but I doubt there would be many people who would be able to discern a performance difference!
@Fire_Farmer, completely understand. I ran co2 via fermentation in a 2x2 and the article I read said it should be good for 1000ppm. I chose to go with that even though it was probably +/- 400. I absolutely could see the accelerated growth.
@Tazard,honestly bro it's a bit misleading. I don't have anything to measure co2 I only have a bag in there. No idea what the levels are probably not much. It's definitely something I'm thinking about doing with a tank and controller though not in this cupboard setup, in my larger setup seen in my other diary.
@biggreens420, yeah you are correct I should do really regardless to help strengthen the stems up for carrying the weight of the buds. Thanks again for looking in, nice to know there's more than one set of eyes on it.
Nice grow bro I hope you liked the oxypots , if you put something under them to lift up a little I reckon you could empty the reservoir with the pipe easily , ( if you scrog again )
@BigDaddyK, that's actually a top tip thanks. Simple yet I overlooked it. And yes I love the oxypots they are so easy to use and have great results. Thanks bro 😁
@biggreens420, thanks for the look in. I'm actually a bit of a scrooge but I had fun decorating my grow so I guess Grow Diaries could be considered my ghost of Christmas past, present and future as I am feeling reformed 🎅
@Fire_Farmer looking at your pics and the fade you are already getting on those top leaves, I would say that its time for Dragon Force now. Like I said before, the way this works is like a bit of a signal to your plant to finish up and your plants look ready. Nice decs btw... 👊
@SHOGUN, Thanks so much for your input fills me with confidence I will drain the tanks now and switch to Dragon Force.
Is it of benefit to me to add sumo boost also?
@Fire_Farmer if you want to add an extra week, add the week without Dragon Force. The way Dragon Force works is to send a kind of nutritional death signal to the plant that stimulates it into a final little push. Once you've started using it you're basically on your way to the end!
@SHOGUN, thanks again as always for swift replies. It's good to understand how our nutrients work rather than just following a plan we know works without understanding it. The advice above is crucial thanks again.
@BiggestLittleGrower, thanks bro and thanks for looking in, im always open to suggestions and advice so the more of you I can get observing the better.
@biggreens420, yeah thanks, I got a full canopy, couple thinner areas than others but nothing major and should probably have chopped out a little more underneath, other than that I'm very happy with the progress so far.
Starting to get terpy in there now too, yum yum!
@biggreens420, thanks for support, I'm happy with the results. I've just put 2 humboldt chocolate mint og seedlings I nto the same setup. What strain you running in yours?
