✋Wk 3: Two phenotypes.
👉The two plants are two different phenotypes. 1 gallon is day 17 and 3 gallon is day 21. My original plan was dependent upon the two seed being similar phenotypes, so moving forward its just a guessing game as to what happens. The one gallon plant is larger, and more vigorous. Its roots are already poking out the sides on the lower side of the pot. The one gallon pot is healthy and no abnormalities. The one gallon started reciving week 2 nutrients of the General Hydroponics Flora series drain to waste schedule mixed to the low end of the recommended EC range. The 3 gallon was in germinated 4 days earlier and has progressed very slowly. I was prepared to end it and just go with the one gallon pot, however it has started to grow, however at a slower pace and size compared to the one gallon. The 3 gallon also has some abnormality in its first leaf set. Im still concerned that it may be signs that this plant may not worth be taking to full term. I will continue to give it full strength nutrients per the General Hydroponics Flora series drain to waste schedule, and see how it progresses. I am not planning on topping either plant.
👉With the addition of the second Mars Hydro TS1000 the heat has dropped significantly. The outdoor temps have been in the 30s and the HVAC set to heat at 68F. The tent has been around 73F. I cut off the small fan in the ceiling, and closed the side vent window. I left the top of the access enclosure unzipped about 20". It leaves a small gap that is just enough too create a small negative pressure in the tent. The temperature went up to average 75F with outdoors temps at 40. Today the outdoors got to be 50 and the tent averaged 76F. I monitor the tent temperatures regularly during the day via the tents wifi cam looking at the thermometer. I have ordered a 6" to 4" reducer for the 6" exhaust fan to help give a little more flexibility while the outdoor temps are still cold. This is to help reduce the household HVAC energy use by reducing the volume of air I'm venting outside.
Really nice job! Your attention to detail and description of your experience provides great information for others. Great harvest and great looking plants. Now you can enjoy the fruits of your labor!!
Amen brother. You're doing an awesome job!! Your buds look great and yes, this is a healthy distraction from the more distressing things going on in the world. We're all entitled to happiness and this brings healing to so many of us. Better days ahead. Peace.😀
Great Work! Thanks for such a detailed diary...I know it takes time and effort to upload all those pictures and maintain a diary. Just starting germination my Growers Choice Cream, I'll be sure and refer back through out my grow. Cheers!
@Psilocubensis, Thanks! Both plants here have large base stems, and their branches are the sturdiest of the few plants Ive grown since starting this great hobby. Im sure it has more to do with mother nature than my handy work.
I found you because of comments you made towards DoctorPhilGood and yes there are actually a "group" of us who don't believe in flushing and I/we don't do a lot of Defoliation. Your totally right about people taking it too far and hurting their numbers. Anyway gonna follow along now and see how she turns out for you.
@@ATOWN, Thanks! I like to pretend that I know what I'm doing, but I am always learning and hope that one day my plant will grow good big buds that can win the blue ribbon at the county fair.
Some massive colas on that lady. Beautiful ones too. Spectacular work growmie. Keep doing what it is you've been doing and may the ganja garden gods give you good fortunes until the end
