The beginning of the week, I changed the rez and adjusted the nute to 550ppm. I also lowered my light from 30" to 22", but found symptoms of heat stress at the middle of the week. I raised it back to 30" and instead increased the time cycle from 18/6 to 20/4. The plant seems to be responding well. I started training Kate at the middle of the week, supercropping the two tops to form a manifold (Sirius style). So from each of the two main branches, I will keep the odd-numbered leaves and budsites. I plan to have 3 pairs of bud sites on each branch, which works out to 12 main colas per plant. If at the end I still have room, I might push it to 16 colas per plant. Kate responded very well to the training and exploded in growth nearing the end of the week. Pippa is truly a good sister and is just trailing her older sister. They were germinated 4 days apart, and I apply the same spacing to train the two. I supercropped and formed the manifold for Pippa at the end of the week. It seemed to like it. I use wooden dowels duct-taped to the container to form the main horizontal split for manifolding. The branch is attached to the dowel using bonsai wires. The game plan here is to form the manifold, fix them with the dowels as skeleton, and then use the scrog net to fill up the rest of the tent. Ideally they will veg another 1-2 weeks at most, during which the light period will gradually decrease to 12-12, at which time flowering officially begins. The future is looking very bright.

Dear experts, could you help me ascertain whether the 4th and 5th picture on my Week4 diary is really heat stress? The only reason I think that is because of that slight cupping/curling of the leaf edges. Might there be other problems that could cause this?

Hi JKT48 I think you doing a amazing job so far. It really looks like slight heat Stress Or Light stress but don't think anything to worry you. You adjusted the lights all ready. So this should help. Only interesting thing is heath stress on 22 C day temperature. So possible slight light stress. Some strains occasionally have a tendency towards curly leaves more than others or sometimes odd traits. Hope this helps grow mate. And good luck with your grow.

The buds aren't fat at all. Considering my tent is 1x1 meter (~3x3 ft), how much yield do you guys think I could expect? It's just fun to play the guessing game.

Well my room is 1m x half m and I can get anywhere from 9 oz to 15 oz. but your not giving your plants enough nutrients from what I can see bro. Basic flower nutrients will not give you big yields you need bud boosts ect.

Something to think about, I used tubs like that and it allowed too much light into the roots, almost lost a set to root rot because of it.. ended up cutting keyholes in a sheet or orca wrap for the plants and covered the tops.. maybe 1% light gets in now.. no more root issues

@JKT48, dunno.. like i said, just an idea...

@DWCHC, certainly organic DWC would be a challenge. I'm looking forward to see your diary on it. Experiments like those are the best ways to learn!

@JKT48,adding fulvic acid as well can help, I just don't like the smell of aquariums.. lol. I tried organic hydro, and couldn't keep the microbes happy without huge amounts of time and inputs.. I'm considering trying an outdoor hydro, buried pails, with an actively aerated compost tea solution as a grow media... We'll see how time allows..

hey there JKT , well based on my understanding often times the downward pointing curling is more due to root problems , looks like you might have some because you're not using a chelation agent. You really want to start using something to break down nutrients in your solution for example beneficial bacteria like hydroguard (BS, BBassiana ) or even humic acid (turns your water black!) or dilluted flushing agent. These will break down the problem roots (should be brownish instead of full white. You could always cut some roots off too : never more than 20%. I see some signs of N toxicity, with those "too dark" green leafs, plus the fact you're not using micro nutrients like cal mag explains the discoloration on the serraded edges of the leafs. You probalby should be aware of this because oyu need to add cal mag (also spray it on twice a week) and might need to switch up the feeding regimen heading into flower. Hope this helps ! 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow, hey thanks so much for the comment dude, sorry I didn't spot this earlier. Notification on growdiaries is not working so great for me. Anyways, yes, as per your suggestion, I've started adding humic acid (man that powder is an annoying mess if I get it on anything), as well as cal mag (by using calcium nitrate and epsom salt). I'm gonna start adding MKP as well (KH2PO4, the chemical for of most bud boosters). Btw I love your diaries, I'm doing my first mushroom grow as well. The mycellium has almost fully collonized 4 of the 9 jars I injected spores with. The rest are kind of slow. Would love to talk with you about this when you get the chance.

Fogponics!? Thats so cool! Sorry it didn't work out tho. Do you feed the water a nutrient solution then? Plant still looks healthy!

@HiyaMaya, yes, I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time. And yes, I’ve heard about all the problems associated with it including the heat, but didn’t think it was to this extent. I do put in nutes to 400ppm. I also saw that (as many have pointed out), the ultrasonic disc does get a deposit on it. Easily cleaned up with a soft toothbrush. But that is the kind of maintenance I don’t want to have to do. I’ll have to think more about this system if I want to try this again.
