Sorry not sorry had to take a long break from technology. For anyone following previous grows, Thanks! Everything went great. That means I harvested...I wish I had the time or opportunity to go into detail but for anyone who has struggled or is struggling outdoors with caterpillars. GET AT ME.
Moved into a new space with more room for maintaining a perpetual grow.
Popped 4 Green Poison F1 Fast Version from sweet seeds.
Also trying their Dos-Sweet-Dos and Crystal Candy. Will seperate diaries :)
Trying to decide whether to break the bank with a high-end LED fixture or just grab a new 600 hps for the low and just wait out the changing Tech. Looks like Optic is about to release gen4 on most of their products in the next month. I was eyeballing the Optic 4 but at 400+ dollars vs 60 dollars I don't know. The LED would pay for itself in a year but I never know where or when I will be upgrading to MORE ROOM :)
Looking for unsponsored responses... need light...my car cost 1000$ and I can't justify anything close to that. Flowering a 4x4 area..should I wait for tech to develop and HPS in the meantime? Convince me otherwise with your experiences! #budget
Well for a 4x4 (im guessing feet) you probably going to get 4-6 plants. 600w would be fine. There are plenty of cheap led on the market. I use a 250w vipraspectra I got for £75 for my 2x2 room!
Dude I suck at habitually posting. I promise I'll get better! So really should have reached out a week ago when I noticed yellowing and spotting on lower leaves. I thought it was most likely N deficiency so I gave a healthy dose of Fish Mix but now I'm beginning to think it could be a combo of effects. I transplanted from 7L to 11L pots today after FIMing them a few days ago. I've been giving them wonderful sunroom sunlight a few hours a day. Surprisingly they are smelling quite strong at week 4 and still quite small. I'm hoping the transplant and Food will help them beef up. Due to time constraints I have to intiate flowering in the next couple weeks so grow grow grow babies!
Also got an EasyGrow S600 fullspec 240watt light. excited to see what these Quantum Boards can do!
Started week 2 with slight yellowing of bottom fan leaves rapidly progressing to brown spots and slowly creeping upwards on leaf sets. I left some almost gone foliage on for photo reference. I fed some Fish Mix. thats all they have gotten. Any other thoughts? Thanks
fish mix is really strong, plants cant have N deficiency on it. your ph might be off, it looks ph to me. too early to have nutrient burn so it most likely can not be able to absorb elements due to off ph. check your soil ph my advice. drop your watering ph to 6.3-6.4 for a while and check again. giving too much nutrients can also drop soil ph. 4ml is too much for fish mix. really it is strong, 2ml MAX in my opinion.
Plants are recovering slowly. Taking a veryyy long time to dry out from the flush 4 days ago. I put them outside in the a greenhouse a couple hours everyday in direct sunlight with a nice breeze. I have about exactly a week before I will be forced to initiate flowering due to time and travel constraints. At this point I can't see them producing very much without a longer veg time but it is what it is. It will be interesting because I also need to flower some photoperiods that have only been vegging for a month. With these smaller yields expected I'm tempted to pack 1mx1m or 4x4 with up to 12 Plants in 11L containers? Any ideas? I have exactly ten weeks before I need to move locations. 6/7week flower on fast version with a couple weeks drying and cleaning up time.
The two options are.
1.Flower the 4 Green Poisons together under the 250W Samsung QB.( Leaving 8 other plants to train and veg for 2 months which would mean I would have MONSTER MOMS come May)
2.Flower the 4 Green Poisons + X (x=up to 8 other plants) leaving a couple big Mothers
Does anyone have experience in doing a Sea of Green style grow from Seed with a shorter veg time (approx 4 weeks?)
I'd be pushing it with time on the other photoperiods but I need to flower out as much as possible before I move.
The Green Poison's Health is in question. The others not so much.
As a side note, I hate moving. I hate renovations, hosting anyone who "hates" the smell of cannabis.
I love gardening though and I think it is incredibly therapeutic.
My buds may never break 22% THC and my yields can be sporadic....but I LOVE GROWING
shoutout to all those doing it for the love
More pics of leaf damage. I'm really hoping someone might be able to coach me through this mess. I've never had any issues and haven't switched any variables besides before I've always ran autos in this setup. That shouldn't have any impact on the ladies. I'm wondering how to even calculate feeding at this point or if I'm still in lockout. Any advice i appreciated growmies
The little crystal candies in back have begun to show exact signs which leads me to believe it's something going on in the soil. bad batch? I flushed a week ago and the GP seem to be recovering a bit albeit slowly with a lime green hue that wreaks of N deficiency but i think it's still recovering from Lockout.
I've checked fungus pics, PH photos, specific deficiencies/ overwatering/ etc.
I'm not sure how to begin narrowing it down if they don't perk up from flush.
