Plant was flipped to HPS and a 12/12 schedule on 1/20/20. Plant was watered on 1/23/20 with 2.25 tsp Big Bloom and 1.5 tsp Tiger Bloom, followed by 1 gallon plain water feed on 1/26/20 which actually turned out more like a mini flush accidentally as I would have preferred not to have as much runoff as I did (around 50%). After comparing the difference between the 3 days I am seeing a little less green. I did not do an extra feed as it was not even noticeable until they were side by side. I will keep my eye on this to make sure it is not actually light bleaching. Continued with LST but this is the point where I am going to let her begin to stretch as opposed to spreading it out and keeping it wider. She is finally starting to get a little height to her from her stretch but it is still so minimal that almost all of it can still be tied down to the LST ring. Plants appear to need more water than previously as I think they would have been better off two days apart as opposed to 3. I notice that the substrate is not holding water very well and I think between the increase temps in the room and the stronger light, they are drying out much quicker than I anticipated. Next feed will be a full strength flower feed and I am anticipating a 2nd defoliation at the end of week 2. In terms of the runoff previously reading so high, turns out the pH pen has been having issues jumping between reading in the 6 and reading in the 8 range. For example, I had to calibrate it twice in one watering session alone. This is concerning in terms of knowing what the actual pH going in was however, I have seen no signs of issues of lockout and so I believe the pH out was the only thing reading off. The runoff from the 1/26/20 watering was around 6.7.
Thanks for updating. My FF3 is one week behind you. And this week I’ll feed her with boron additive to see.
On the other hand, your FF3 leaves seem green enough. However, I am used to Sativa. And Sativa has lighter shade if green.
@Med_in_Tropic, the smell was weak but did indeed have a skunky sort of smell to it. This only started in wee 4 however. I have not notice any smell of significance from FF3 but I will double check her and update with this weeks post!
Hi @Jayann, how was the smell on GG4 during vegging?
Mine FF 3's had week berry smell when they were inside.
Just curious to narrow down the possible genetic. It could be important in deciding what to feed them and by how much.
@Jayann, same issue on size mate.
During Veg FF 3 is small compare to my FF7 and FF 10.
Comparing to your grow, my height is okay but leaf size is not. Could be the light and nutes.
Although I have spider mite issue with one plant.
Roots are okay. And your idea GG4 is the most plausible so far.
Think I’ll experiment with different feeding to see if that is it.
@Garreweedlover, That is possible actually. First time running 1000 w HPS. I had it 16 " from the plants and used a lux meter but that doesnt mean things didn't get to hot. I did not run an exhaust due to it being winter and so the highest it would get in the room was 77 but aside from all that, the light just very well could have been to close. Something to keep in mind for the future for sure!
@Garreweedlover, Thank you! No males at all and in a pretty sterile indoor environment but I still blame it on myself for letting her go so long. Happy growing!
